Our Engagement Portraits

Well, so many of you have asked us WHO will photograph our wedding!? It is true that we would be super particular about the photographs for our own big day and I'm proud to say that we have made a wonderful selection. Dawn from Dawn Schubert Photography came in to assist me with a wedding a few weeks ago and she took our engagement photographs at that time. She, along with Alison Berk of Imagin Photography, will be photographing our big day! Nathaniel and I couldn't be happier with the sneak peak of photographs that Dawn gave us! We anxiously await the others and can't wait to put up a nice canvas collection of these in our home! Have a look at a few of our favorites!

Baby Levi! BluOrchid Photography~Marion AR Photographer

So, I am so far behind with blogging....Mr. Levi is about ready for his next session already...and I'm just now getting this one up! Sorry!!!! I'm really going to try to do better! Here are a few of my favs from his session. His mom is a good friend of mine (and my fabulous hair stylist) and she is so crafty. She made this cute little Dr. Suess outfit since Levi's nursery is decorated with Dr. Suess. It was super cute...even had the little tie! Enough chatter....onto the photographs! Enjoy!

Models Needed! BluOrchid Photography~Memphis Senior Photography

Do you have what it takes!? Chandler did....

Hello 2011 High School Seniors! BluOrchid is in need of some senior class members to model for us for the 2011 year. Our main interest at this time is to find senior models for our 2011/12 Marketing Campaign. In addition, we need a few lucky seniors to model for us at a senior photography course that we are teaching this October! This is truly a one of kind experience that you will want to be part of....one of my recent seniors wrote on her application "go big or go home." I thought that was very fitting here in that modeling may not have been something that she initially thought of doing, but after working with us, she found it was really fun and thought, well, why not!?

What's in it for you???
Well, here is what you get*:

• 2 models will be chosen to work with us at the class we are instructing at and have the chance to be pampered all day and have a gazillion senior portraits to show off to friends! More details will be given to the winners when announced.
• All remaining participants will get a free senior sitting session for a modeling package ($120 value)
• 25 stylized star cards to be mailed out to friends who would be interested in a senior session with us ($132 value)
• 5 Myspace/Facebook images ($75 value)
• A really cute T-shirt with our logo ($25 value)

*This is a minimum! More incentives can be earned when we receive referrals from you!

What is expected from you:

• Bring your enthusiasm! It's going to be a fun year!
• All models must prepay for their senior session to qualify for the contest. Our model package is priced at $350. This ENTIRE amount will go towards photographs....your session is FREE! Your senior portraits must be taken before Oct 15, 2010.
• You will be representing and working with us throughout the senior year. Not only will this be a fun experience for you, but it's also an essential tool for us to keep our name out there in front of your friends and peers. We rely on your support throughout the year! Active senior models will definitely be rewarded. Inactive models...not so much! :)
• The 25 Star Cards will feature images from your session and will be mailed out to 25 of your friends that have not yet had their senior portraits taken. We need you to provide the 25 names and addresses. Every time we get a referral from you....you get $50 gift card from us!
• We often need models on short notice to test new backgrounds, practice techniques, etc. Although we don't expect you to drop everything for us, we just want to let you know that this may happen!
• We expect you to collect 25 addresses of junior friends for our mailing database. Of course, your images will be highlighted in these mailing campaigns, as you are our star!!!
• We expect any Facebook and Myspace images that we provide you to be used as the highlight images on your page through your senior year to help promote our business. We must be on your Facebook and Myspace friends list.
• If you are involved in sports, teams, or groups: we expect you to suggest our services to the coordinator for any photography services, such as team pictures, group gifts, dances, etc.
• We expect you to have a great time, feel like a rockstar, and have the best in senior portraits! You'll see that we'll become great friends during your senior year! We are here for you, and expect the same from our models!

If this sounds like the job for you, please continue to the application!
