THE TOUGH ECONOMY
I am aware of how hard the economy has touched many of you. In trying to do my part I have not raised my prices in 5 years and prices will stay the same this year in order to help make it easier for all of you to continue to capture the memories of your families. I have had many of my prices go up especially shipping and handling costs associated with every order, but I promise that I will not raise mine right now order to help out.

Do remember that even in the toughest economy,  your children still grow and change do not want to let those changes go by without documenting them with professional portraiture.

REMEMBER ME-A New Division of Portraits by Betsy
I have started a new business venture I want you all to be aware of.
I am offering  DVD montages to remember a lost loved one . These DVD’s are created for you for private use, use during a memorial service and /or to be able to leave a legacy of your loved one.

All montages consist of 15-30 images provided by you of your loved one, pet or most any occasion. These are set to copyright free music along with any text you would like and  presented on DVD  to be played on your TV or computer. What a wonderful way to remember someone by. Prices are very reasonable and the whole process is  simple and painless with a very fast turn around time of 2-4 days. Please let me know if you are interested and I can answer any questions you may have.

MATERNITY/BIRTHING PORTRAITS
It is always a privilege to be present for the birth of a child. I love it and am so lucky to be a part of this precious moment. Please ask to see the DVD demo’s I have here in the studio. What a beautiful keepsake to have of your family. There is nothing like it. If this is something you may be interested in, please call me and we can discuss the details. I am sure any of my birth moms would be happy to talk to you about their experience with this sensitive once in a lifetime opportunity.

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP
As many of you know I have been involved now for over 4 years with a non profit organization that provides infant remembrance photography. I am the Northern Colorado Area Coordinator and now a certified trainer. I travel to teach other photographers, medical staff and social workers who want to become involved with this amazing organization. I have never found any work to be so satisfying and at the same time so difficult. Thank you to all for your support. For more information or to make a donation please call me or go to www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org.

IN CLOSING. . .
As always, we love to hear about your family news. I am so privileged to see so many beautiful babies and watch them grow. What a treat it is to watch your families evolve! I can’t imagine doing anything else as rewarding as capturing such memories of so many happy occasions.
Thank you all.

Sincerely,
