What's Facebook?

OK,

I admit it.

I'm on Facebook.

and my address book is out of date. It's taking me a long time to track you all down one by one on Facebook!

So, if you're on, and want another friend, just search for my email address.
it's listed over there --------------->

I'm trying to add folks, and get pics uploaded about them as we connect on Facebook. That's taking some time, so you have my apologies if I haven't got to you yet. Just add me as a friend, and I'll see if I can find some pics of you to upload!

the gallery wrapup, and happy turkey day!

First... I'm grateful for all of the wonderful people in my life: my wife, my daughter, my family, my friends, and all of the great people that I meet through my photographic life! Thank you all!

May all of my readers have a wonderful day with their loved ones today!

Second, last night was a Wednesday, so I was out at our open house at the Debut Event Gallery in Avon. Although the night before Thanksgiving isn't technically a holiday, some of us do treat it as such. Too much baking and cleaning need doing before family arrives!

We did have one visitor at the gallery last night -- well, two if we count the pizza delivery guy. ;) Brian and I shared a pizza in pre-feast anticipation last night.

Just a reminder, my wife and I will be on vacation starting on Dec 5. If anyone is thinking of visiting the gallery or setting up a consultation, you might want to get it going this next week. I'll be out from Dec 5 to Dec 14. You're welcome to come visit at the gallery next Wednesday in Avon, or drop me an email to schedule another time for a consultation.

With Bridal Fair season almost upon us, schedules will be getting tight in late December.

Thanks again to all of my friends, near and far! May you have the best in fellowship and feasts today!

The new book is here

These are replacing the Amore style books.

Sooooo much better!




PS: Now is a great time to order your book. I'll actually have some time to design it, since I'm just now finishing the edit on the last wedding of the year!

New Books... new packages

Another new book style...

We're expanding our book lines, which creates new pricing collections.

Here are a few snippets of the new book style that is coming in soon. I had to borrow these images until I can get a new sample book made by our newest book maker.


Edit: See the post above for the pics


Our new pricing structure will have two main sections:

Our Story Collection will consist of Troy and an assistant photographer, with a proof disk of images.

OR

Our Vision, Amore, and Dolce collections will feature full day coverage by Troy and an assistant photographer, with a book, a full resolution disk of images, and various other goodies, such as engagement sessions, or family books.

The Story Collection begins at $2,350... and the NEW Vision Collection, featuring our newest addition to our book line up, begins the Album Collections at $3,600.

If you're one of our clients from the past few years, and you didn't purchase a book, or you'd like to pick up a family album or two for gifts this holiday season, please let me know. We've got some great pricing going on with the two new book styles we've added!

Thank you Veterans!

Today is veteran's day. If you meet a veteran of our armed services today, please remember to shake their hand, give them a hug, and say thank you. And not just today. We need to do this every day.

Back in 2004, I had the privilege of visiting New York City with my friend Michael. The last time he had visited NYC, the WTC twin towers were still standing. This trip, all we had was the big hole at ground zero created by terrorists who want to destroy our freedom, our honor, and our lives.

Today, the towers are still missing, but our American Spirit is still strong, and our lives are still free because of the brave men and women who have fought, who have suffered, and who have died protecting our freedom.

Thank you.
