We had a lot of fun in the studio last night doing what felt like engagement portraits but they've been married for over 6 months! I guess the honeymoon is still going on at the Sparks' household. We did some really fun poses one even involving elf ears! This one is my favorite, this is such a cute pose I had to post it.

Holiday Delays!
I love this time of year, but unfortunately it's a notoriously bad time for pretty much every aspect of photography. I just want to post the delays that I'm seeing so no one is blindsided.
My photo lab is doing great, but I would say if your prints aren't ordered this week, there is a chance they'll show up on Christmas, so if you're ordering cards they won't be ready to mail in time.
My album supplier was shut down last month to new orders, but they're open. Things seem to be crawling getting the order authorized and checked, I would say any orders placed now, will be in January.
Also on custom design work I'm chugging through a very steady stream of work, I've got several albums in progress as well as lots of holiday portrait creations. New requests will probably take me a week to get to and unfortunately that puts us extremely close to Christmas.
And finally we are unable to do any portraits the last two weeks of the year. We have several prior commitments and of course lots of personal holiday goings on. This shouldn't be much of an issue since all of you have holiday goings on as well, and that late there is no point even trying to get things in by Christmas.
If you have any questions about these delays please send me an email at info {at} buckportraitstudio.com and I'll provide more detailed information.

CVS Christmas Portraits
It's that time of year again, we'll be at CVS on 3rd St. all day Saturday with a Santa and Mrs. Claus for portraits. The pictures will be printed while you wait. There is usually a small package available for purchase for around $5. We'll be there from 9am until 6pm. We'll see you there.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on my price increases for 2008. My units will be going from $10 to $12 and all of my package prices will be increasing about 20%. This is due to the rent and other expenses I now have for my studio. It was great being able to offer rock bottom prices, but the quality and flexibility I can now offer over my home studio is really worth the price increase. I am implementing some volume discounts to help offset these increases, the more you spend, the more you save. The good news is there is still a month and a half until 2008 so call today and book a session to take advantage of my current low prices!

Better hurry!
The leaves all around Cass County are at the peak of color right now. Everywhere you look it's golden delicious, if you're wanting a portrait I suggest calling as soon as possible. We've got plenty of room on the calendar for family portraits so if this is something you've been thinking about doing now is the perfect time to do it.
