I love candy, cofffee, my husband, my kids...not in that order:)

 
 
 
I love candy! 
 
It's that time of year. Valentine's Day will be here before you know it.  I think its so cute to see images of love all over. I found an image similar to this on pinterest. I then tried to save the image but it came extremely blurry when I saved it as a screensaver. Then I became inspired! So with a person with passion for candy & coffee
I set out to shoot it. This image is straight out of camera (SOOC) and it looks so cute!
 
I think as a photographer images should be original but we should also
be inspired to try new things to influence creativity. This week I am going to use candy as my inspiration and shoot it when I see it:)
 
Take some time to shoot "what you love". Capture people, food, drinks, pets, clothes, etc using instagram, camera phones or cameras. I would love to see them all.
 
I challenge you to shoot "what you love" and post it to my FB page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Justified-Studio-Photography/195705550467494?ref=hl 
 
I will choose 1 winner on Feb. 13th
 
Thanks for following
Happy Shooting!

Want more money????

 
The day we all have been waiting for .... TAX DAY! Some people look forward to getting a huge refund to spend on something big, go on a vacation or even just to save it. We work all year and wait for our accountant to say those magic words.....
"your refund this year will be_________."
 
Last year we learned a lot from our Financial Peace Class by
Dave Ramsey and we are starting this year off right.
This year we said no matter what we got we would put it in savings...and we meant it!
Ask me what more I learned by commenting below. I would be happy to share the baby steps with you and help you get out of debt and start saving to live life.
 
Advice for others on taxes...
#1 - Save your receipts if you own a business and keep track of
expenses, income and mileage & don't show us with a box of unorganized receipts
#2- Don't just trust anyone with your taxes this is the most important part of your life and a mistake could COST you.
#3-Be sure to  keep record of childcare expenses so you are able to claim.
#4- When you finally meet with your accountant ask him/her lots of questions related to getting you more money :)
 
That's all for today I hope it helps. Please comment below to give more advice:)

There is still time to get your accordion calendar!!!!

 
This week I was able to show 32 people the accordion calendar of my little guy. Everyone thought it was so cute as well as the pictures that matched the months.
i.e swim goggles in May & June
When it wasn't in my purse I keep it on my desk and I looked at it all day.
 
Well friends tomorrow is the last day to get the accordion calendar for $13 off.
It always makes me so sad to end a sale but since I love being able to offer everyone the chance to snag a great deal I will continue offering them:)
 
Keep following my blog for sales throughout the year.
I will post my sales on the 1st and it will end every 13th of the month.
 
 
Don't Worry............ the accordion calendar is available all year in the
2013 Justified Studio Product Catalog please message or call for more details.
 
Thanks for following! Have a blessed week!

What a cute way to display your images...

 
About a week ago I posted a SALE for $13 off a mini accordion calendar. (reg. 60)
I wanted to show you how cute this little wallet album really was. If you are interested in catching this sale you can email me your own images or use ones from your session. It comes in a pack of 3 with a frosted cover for each accordion. This makes it perfect for sharing with others & keeping in your bag to show everyone. I kept one & gave away the two to the grandparents. What a perfect little gift! It also can be displayed without the calendar if you want:)

Post a comment below I would love to know what you think.

Goals for 2013....

Each year I make goals for myself to try to be a better person, eat healthier and save more money. As a business owner I want to be a better business person and be there for my clients when they are there for me. So I have come up with some ways this year to share my love of photography with you! (I will announce one per month)

So to start off the year right so I offered $13 off mini accordion calendars until January 13th.  The way this works is you can email me your own photos or use ones from your session to display in the mini book. Leave me a comment or message me on facebook to order today!

I am also adding a new referral program to my business just for you. For each person you refer that books & completes a session you receive a $25 print credit towards your next session. This program will last all year but the sooner you refer the more you will earn towards your own session with Justified Studio Photography. There are NO LIMITS! So tell everyone. If you want me to send you some beautiful business cards please leave me a comment or message me on facebook.

Don't forget if you like my FB and/or follow my blog (by adding me), I will enter you in a $20 gift card drawing to Starbucks! I will announce the winner on Jan 31:) Each month your name will go in for a new drawing but there may be more ways to enter more than once so keep following;)

Lastly, this year I want you to know that I take pride in my work and in my customer service. I know that each session is so important to you. I value your time and loyalty you show & give me. I know that in the end as I hand you a boutique style bag of your photographs from your experience you will see the time and thought I put into my work. I truly hope we can share this experience together.

Thank you in advance,
Alicia
