Here they are! The new 2008 Christmas card offerings. A little something for everyone, I hope.

The cards below can be printed on one sided photo paper (thru Rockville Camera as last year), but these are also offered this year as beautiful, high quality 5×7 press printed cards. They are printed on a semi-gloss or linen cardstock, double sided. Some of the cards can also be printed as folding cards (horizontal or vertical). All of the samples shown can be customized for color and wording.

Please see my holiday cards page for more details on pricing and ordering. There are also samples of some of last years templates that are available again this year.

And in other news:

The picture of Timmy above was inspired by Gina Lee photography. Timmy saw it while I was looking at her site and said he wanted to do it too. So here’s our version. And he’s still using the binoculars the wrong way. I’ll be a little sad when he figures it out for real.

Working on the new logo, packaging, photography packages, and prices for 2009. Look for things trickling in over the next month or so little by little.

Also working on Christmas cards for 2008 season. With the amount of shoots I’m doing this year, I will not be making completely custom cards from scratch. There just aren’t enough hours in the day! I will have some fabulous templates to choose from, that are customizable by color, font, layout, etc.

Any of my fantastic clients with edits or orders still outstanding from shoots completed BEFORE JULY 2008…I really need to have yours done before the holiday rush begins in mid September. So if you could please send me your final lists of edits and/or orders I will get them done for you before I get crushed. If I receive your orders after the middle of September, I cannot guarantee to get to them before December. This does NOT include those of you whose shoots I have completed since July. Thank you!

More shoots coming up later this week, plus the weeklong *’birthday vegetable’ for Jack & Patrick who turn NINE on Saturday. The ‘birthday vegetable’ commences tommorrow night with dinner and continues thru the weekend into next week. And I still have to edit and blog their pictures from their baseball trip. So lots of fun to come…Stay tuned.

*the birthday vegetable is really the birthday festival. Cause the kids birthdays in this house always seem to last a week. But Timmy couldn’t say festival last year, and it sounded like vegetable. So it is now and will always be the birthday vegetable in this house.

Ok, just a quick business post. Sorry for the interruption to shoots here on the blog. I’ll be back tommorrow with the wedding I shot about 2 weeks ago, so that’s something to look forward to, right?

1. I will be taking the month of August OFF. I have three more shoots to do this weekend, and then I will be on vacation until September. Need a break from shooting to refresh and get some creative juices flowing freer. Not to mention, I’d like to make it to the beach on weekends before the season is completely over. I’m sure John would probably like that too since he’s had the boys all weekend every weekend so far this summer!

There will still be blog posts here (like I said yesterday, I still have 6 shoots to edit and blog- not even including the 3 coming up this week) so stop by and visit. I promise there will still be stuff to see and read! Granted, a bunch of it will be about my family, but you still kinda like that, right?

And, when I say I’m taking August off- it’s not really all the way off. I will be doing all the post processing on shoots, posting to the blog, answering emails and phone calls. Just not doing any shoots. So if you need something or want to book a shoot, please contact me anytime bbeyrer1@optonline.net

2. Over my vacation, I will be working on some new stuff. (so see, it’s not entirely a vacation!)  New pricing and packages for 2009 with some cool new ideas and add on’s. Christmas card templates for 2008. Plus, a possible class offering for 2009. But that part is dependant upon interest from you out there! So stay tuned for roll outs in late August/September on all of that.

3. If any of you are interested in booking a shoot at The Planting Fields in Oyster Bay, please note that there is an additional $50.00 fee for a shoot there. It is not my price (believe me, I think it’s a little ridiculous but it’s so gorgeous there it’s kinda worth it!) but they require a permit to shoot there and that permit costs $50.00 (It’s $120.00 for weddings!). Just something to keep in mind.

4. Dates for September-December are booking fast. Especially November. If you are looking for a beach shoot, September is the best time (the earlier in the month, probably the better) as the beach is pretty empty and everyone looks tan and rested.

Don’t forget that your shoot must be completed by Monday, December 8th to ensure delivery before Christmas!

And since a post is no good without any pictures, here are some of my handsome, almost 9 year old boys. Nine? NINE?? Just can’t be possible! Oh, and they are FINALLY getting their teeth in. Even though Patrick will not show you!
