A Gentle Reminder

It’s March already and anyone who received one of the special Opening Promotion Gift Vouchers needs to book their session before the Voucher expires on March 31st.

There are a few out there unclaimed and I’m pretty booked up for the next couple of weeks so to make things a little easier I’m OK to let a few of these sessions run into April, as long as the booking is made before the 31st March (originally the session had to be shot before the end of March).

But if you have a Voucher and haven’t used it yet, you still need to call me soon to arrange your session and we’ll put something in the diary.

Something Special for your Valentine

Valentine Gifts

For anyone tired of running around town looking for the last few dead roses, how about something more permanent for your loved one this Valentine’s Day.

I’m offering a limited availability Gift Voucher in a Presentation Picture Frame.  The voucher gives the One You Love a full photo session at a location of their choice and a print to put in the frame once the session is done.

The Framed Voucher costs €50 and is available from the Gallery until 14th February.  Sessions need to be booked by the end of March.

Family Photography Gift Vouchers for €30 this Christmas

To celebrate the opening of the Gallery, I am pleased to announce a special limited availability Gift Voucher.

The Voucher costs €30 and gives you a full family portrait session, a viewing session and a 5×7 print. The session has to be taken before 31st March, 2011.

This is a great deal and the Vouchers make ideal gifts for Christmas.  So if you know someone who is long overdue a family portrait then this is the gift for them.

As usual the Portrait Sessions will take place in the family home (or outside if it’s warm enough).  It’s a normal session so it can cover a large family group or just some pictures of the kids – or both.

You’ll then be invited back to the Gallery to see you pictures and select your complimentary print.  You’ll be able to order more prints or other products at normal prices (although of course you’re under no obligation to do so).   There are a range of new products on show in the Gallery.

The normal terms and conditions apply but there are few additional things to note about these vouchers:

  • This offer applies to sessions taken before 31st March 2011.  The voucher cannot be used for a session after this date.
  • You can only view your images at the arranged view session: no on-line galleries will be provided with this promotion.
  • Travel to a location within an hour of the Gallery is included in the promotional price.

Note that if you don’t think the time limit on this voucher suits the person you’re buying for then you can purchase standard gift vouchers (which have no expiry) from €80.

“Just a perfect day…”

It’s been a busy week.  I’ve a lot going on on different fronts and at times things have been a little stressful around here.

But today I got to play with (and photograph) five wonderful kids on a stunning Autumnal afternoon: warm sun;  dry, freshly fallen leaves;  kids running free and having a ball; me in the middle of it all taking pictures.

Sometimes I need to be reminded that I have the best job in the world.  Today was one of those days.

Thank you to the kids and Mums who met me in Fitzgerald’s Park today.  It was just what I needed.  Just perfect.

I’ll be posting some pictures from this and some of the other Autumn Model sessions shortly – watch this space.

Autumn Model Search Announced

Families Sought for Free Family Session & Framed Print

Kids in the Wild

I am looking for families in the Cork area to get involved in a series of promotional photo sessions over the next few weeks.  I want to create some fresh images of kids having fun in the local parks, woods and forests now that Autumn is here and there’s so much wonderful colour out there.

I will be using the photographs to extend my portfolio of images from the outdoor sessions for use on the web site and for my own publicity.

There is no charge for the session and in return for their time, participating families will get a framed artwork from their session as a thank you.

This is going to work pretty much like the Spring Promo sessions so if you want to get a better idea of what to expect, scroll down the blog to where I have previously posted images from those sessions.

In addition, want to use these sessions to create example storyboards and studio albums.

You need to be prepared to go out and have some fun – and get photographed in the process – but apart from that there’s no other specific requirements for ages and number of kids.  If a couple of families want to do a session together that often works well too.

I hope to start doing sessions in the next couple of weeks and the promotion will run until the end of the October half term holiday.

A lot of the sessions will need to happen during the week so it will probably suit preschoolers whose parents are available during the week.  But there are a limited number of sessions available at the weekend and during half term for families with older kids.

So if you’re interested in taking part in one of these sessions just email me your details or give me a call.

Looking for a Unique Family Portrait?

In time for the start of the summer holidays, I am pleased to announce the start of my Portfolio Programme.

The Programme is aimed at producing a range of unique family photographs based around a theme which is special to each family.

I want to talk to families with a shared passion for something – something which is personal to them and is a major feature in their lives on a regular basis.

Together we’ll use that as a theme for a family photo session featuring all the family and elements of whatever it is they do.  We’ll choose the location and the timing of the session to suit the theme.

Whether you’re mad into surfing, GAA, music or whatever, I want to hear your ideas for a family photograph with a difference.

As with previous promotions, I want to use these images for my own publicity on the web and in print. In return for your time, the session is free and you’ll get a framed print as well.

So before you head off to do whatever you do best this summer, think about whether you’d like some great pictures to remember it by.

Give me a call at 087 683 8511 or email me your ideas and we can come up with some great new family photographs.

More information, details and some more ideas are posted at https://roblambphoto.com/?page_id=488

Now this guy may be a little young for this programme – but you never know, he might make it one day…
