I love me some little Southern girls in big bows! …And I especially love them when they’re my adorable new niece! (Yes, my brother finally found the woman of his dreams and got married on Valentine’s Day! ) I took a few shots of this little darling during a recent trip back home.

Welcome to the family, Miss K. [You're my new muse!] I’ll see you, S. and A. in June and I promise to buy you some gi-normous new hair bows!

If you’re looking for an incredible deal this spring, I’ve got great news for you! Today I had one [previously booked] March Madness session open up due to rescheduling. Email me or call me at 803-6750 asap to snap this last date up. Free sessions don’t stick around long! ;-)

Also, if you’re like me, you’re seeing little signs of spring popping up here and there outside. Nothing excites me like seeing the first glimpse of tulips and lillies peeking through the mulch in the yard. I can’t wait to start shooting outdoors again in bare feet! Parks and beaches, look out!

Talk to you soon.

Times are tight for all of us. We hear it all over the nightly news. …and online. …and in the newspaper. …and on the radio. (You get my point.)

So, how does FREE sound to you?

With our March Madness special, we’re offering a limited number of FREE photo mini-sessions. Yes, free! You save $150! It can be a session for a child, newborn, family or senior and you pay nada/nothing/zero for the session fee! ((Now, don’t ask us if we can photograph your wedding or family reunion with this special because that is just not going to happen. Sorry!))

-What is a mini-session? The March Madness special mini-session is limited to only about 30-45 minutes with only two outfit changes at a local beach or park.

- What is the catch? Well, there isn’t really a catch per se, but there is a $399 minimum purchase with this mini-session. (pre-tax and shipping/handling, of course) All this really means is that you get every penny of your $399 in images and products! How cool is that? Uh, huh! You get every dollar of that back in heirloom quality images to keep forever! Great idea, huh?

-How many proofs will I have to choose from? You’ll get 15 to 20 professionally retouched images to choose from in your private online gallery- just like with a regular session fee, only… um… FREE‘er! ;-)

So far we’ve had an overwhelming response to this offer. Contact us soon as we’ve only got a few spots left!

Ta-tah for now.

Just a footnote.

If things look a little out of place for the next week on the old blog, please know that this area of my site is “under construction.” I promise to have things back in order and start updating with the new and improved features as soon as my wonderful blog designer is done. I’m so excited!

Until then,

Leslie

Feeling a little rumbly in your tumbly? Winne the Pooh obviously never enjoyed the Virginia Beach Restaurant Week like we did tonight! To celebrate Virginia Beach’s rich culinary style, over 35 restaurants will be participating in this year’s Virginia Beach Restaurant Week. Visit the Virginia Beach Restaurant Association website to get the full list of participants.

Here is the scoop. Enjoy two–course prix fixe lunches for $10.09 and three–course prix–fixe dinners for $20.09 and $25.09 throughout the week. This is your chance to enjoy some of Virginia Beach’s most scrumptious recipes at a fraction of the cost!

Tonight we dined at Mannino’s Italian Bistro and I must say it was a treat! Don’t forget to order from the impressive wine list. A taste of Italy in Kempsville. Who knew?

Buen appetito!

Leslie

P.S. I know this has little to do with my portrait business, but there is more to life than just great photographs after all! ;-)

Just to let you know… check back on the Leslie du Mont Photography website and blog frequently as big changes are coming in 2009! You’ll already notice some disarray with the blog layout as we get the basics set up here. So, please pardon the mess, but the end product is going to be exciting! How exciting? Well, look for the first clue soon!

FYI, I’m currently booking photography sessions for March. Usually I’m booked 4-6 weeks out. (Please plan accordingly and contact me to reserve your date early.)

I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Chanukah!

Here at Leslie du Mont Photography, I’m looking forward to the new year! 2009 will usher in a totally new overhaul. New website. New marketing materials. New specials and promotions for my wonderful clients. A new updated blog design. Preparations are already in the works!

Stay tuned and check back frequently at Leslie du Mont Photography to see things as they are unveiled!

Happy New Year!

Leslie

I’ve had a flurry of last minute calls requesting photo sessions before the end of the year. Leslie du Mont Photography will be open for business January 8, 2009.

May you and your families have a very blessed holiday season!

Merry Christmas!

Leslie
