Ahhhh Catching Up!

Have you missed us? I know we're not even remembering summer much these days with the cold weather looming upon us! Since we last posted, Lauren left for maternity leave and returned. In the midst of her absence, senior and wedding business was unbelievably busy!

We did NOT want to be anything less than what our seniors expect from us this year so all of us in the studio worked our little hearts out! We wanted our seniors to have the best experience here at Grand Lubell and we hope we've delivered.

We had so many adorable shoots this summer! Stevie was really on her game, as usual. I wish I could post a photo of every single senior!

Just a reminder to those seniors who have had a session with us: if you haven't been in to order yet, call us NOW to set up an appointment! Also, it's yearbook photo time - so if you haven't selected your yearbook pose contact us ASAP.

And for those of you who haven't come in for your session yet, we still have openings! The fall colors are coming and FAST so give us a call today!


***SPECIAL: Call by Monday 10/19, get a free session by booking during school hours (9AM - 2PM)!! Up to a $115 value!***

Senior Season in Full Swing!

I don't know how she does it, but Stevie finds great locations for all of our seniors. Here are some seniors she's photographed recently, hope you enjoy!

Thanks to Brett, Mariah, and Stephanie... your shoots turned out great!

Going Green!

Have you seen our mailer? Some of you may have received this in the mail recently. We decided to do our part for the environment by cutting back on our mailers this year. Be sure to check for specials through the blog, facebook, or by calling the studio (419.882.1984). Let us know how you are 'going green' and you will save 50% off your session fee.

Bedford Seniors!

Photoboothlive was at Bedford last weekend helping the seniors celebrate their graduation. As always, it was a big hit and you can just tell by the photos that they had a blast!

We did a lot of afterproms, senior banquets, and high school dances this year and they were all so much fun. Check out our website for some of our other events. Seniors of 2010, make sure photoboothlive is at all of your events next year!

Recent Seniors

I'm just so thrilled with how these three recent senior shoots went. Elle, Jacob, and Kelly came in for their sessions in May (received the discounted sessions!) and were so much fun. Stevie took them to a few different places around our studio as well as around Sylvania.

Give us a call to set up YOUR session! We are still running session specials, and are booking up the month of June very fast, so call soon. Keep checking back here on our blog for updates, photographs, and specials!

Props!

Are you trying to figure out what sort of props to bring to your session? We have seen all sorts of props over the years, and are always looking for creative people to bring us something new! Here are a few of our favorites!

Props can be pets too, but definitely give us some advance notice if that's what you are planning. We'd love to meet your dog, cat, horse, iguana (ha!) but make sure you bring a friend or family member to care for him/her when we're finished with their part of the shoot! PS if you bring a snake, I will go running and screaming!

Don't forget that props can be friends too. These girls used this for their graduation announcement!

New Pricing Guide!

Well, we've done it! We've updated the look of our pricing guide. You'll find a LOT of the same packages and sessions, plus a few extras. It was kinda crazy looking at our old guide and coming up with a whole new look and feel but we are definitely happy with the result.

With this release, please note that we are discontinuing the use of our old pricing guide. For a digital download of the pricing guide, please visit glpseniors.com

Senior Session!

Natalie Connolly from Northview High School came into our studio yesterday for a senior session. Natalie was as sweet as can be, and Stevie had a lot of fun photographing her! They even rolled out the pink car from the garage for the shoot! Check out the images below - and remember, we're booking up for May & June fast so call today! No session fees in May or June!!

Updates!!

Oh my goodness, we have been neglecting our senior blog lately!! I must apologize, because it's certainly not for lack of news to share! It's been getting busy around here, and our months are starting to fill up rapidly. We have had more ambassadors come in this month (see the bottom of this post for sneak peaks!) and Stevie has had full days on her hands.

We're looking forward to a nice, warm weekend! This should prove to make some great opportunities for fun photos, and I'll be back next week to show you what we were up to.

Remember, our best savings are in May and June, so get in early and order early! Call us this week to set up your appointment. Even if it's not until later in May, it's best to make your appointment early to insure that you get the time you want!

We hope to see you soon!

Attention Spring Breakers!

Hey Seniors! If you haven't taken off to warmer climates and are stuck like the rest of us in this SNOW (can you believe it!?) then believe me, I feel for ya! But, you can take advantage of this time off and get your spring shopping done, work on school stuff (uhh, no thanks!) OR give us a call!

The month of May is filling up fast already and I will tell you that we are working on some really great discounts and deals for this spring/summer season.

Here are some tips to save BIG this year:

1. Come in EARLY! May and June are best for big savings on your sessions. We'd love to see you in April too!

2. Order FAST! HUGE discounts if you order same day as your first viewing and hefty discounts if you order within 3 days!

3. Check back OFTEN! We are notorious for running promotions on our blog and facebook throughout the spring and summer so make sure to keep up to date on our blog!



If your parents are feeling the recession 'pinch' right now, make sure you let them know that there are fabulous savings at Grand Lubell Photography! Senior pictures are an important part of your final year of high school and we'd love to make them as special and unique as possible!

photoboothlive.com!

Recently we did another Photobooth Live, this time for a Bat Mitzvah! Lindy Frankel's Bat Mitzvah was the place to be on March 28th - and as you can tell, they had a lot of fun with photobooth live!

If you have any sort of event that could use a little spice, a little fun - give us a call! Photobooth Live could make your party the party of the YEAR!

A Very Special Session

A few weeks ago, I had the honor of being part of something very exciting. I was able to photograph these three beautiful little girls so that they could use it to help them get adopted! The photoshoot was hectic - it's never easy to get 3 young girls to smile and pay attention at the same time - but the result was more than I could have imagined. We received this e-mail today:

Please tell Stevie that since we posted her photo of the girls on the state adoption website, we have been absolutely FLOODED with calls from across the country from families who want to adopt them. It is amazing the difference that good photography makes for kids awaiting families.

Thanks again,
Julie

Photography is my passion but it is so much more when the result changes people's lives!

Location Photography!

Hey Seniors! I just wanted to show you all this awesome shoot we did the other day with Kailyn Katafiasz with her horse. Stevie and our intern Lauren headed out to Kailyn's horse boarder on Dorr St. near Centennial for a location photography shoot. Kailyn's photo will be featured in a publication in the near future and we were so excited to be part of her success. Stevie told me all about the shoot and to be honest, I'm kind of jealous I didn't get to go!

So, do you have any sort of hobby or interest that could require a location shoot? We would be more than happy to make your senior pictures the most creative photos possible to show off your personality! Give us a call!

Birthday Girl!

There's a running joke in the office that I am obsessed with my birthday. Granted, a few years ago I probably was borderline obsessive... all right so maybe it was a little much! Well today at lunch time, I meandered my way down to the kitchen to find the most amazing birthday cake surrounded by the most amazing coworkers (and bosses!) What a delightful, and hilarious surprise! Edward confessing his love for me? Happy birthday to me! :)

Attention Senior Ambassadors!

Hi all! We are still accepting 2010 seniors to be reps for our studio! We would LOVE to have you come in for an Ambassador session! For those of you who have your appointment scheduled, I thought I'd give you a few tips for your session...

Call us today to make YOUR appointment! We'd love to have ya! 419.882.1984

Prom Party Fashion Show

Last Saturday we had the Prom Party Fashion Show at Westfield Franklin Park and I would have to say that it was a great time! Stevie, Lauren, and I were all there helping out. Lauren was running around busy the whole morning - and she helped calm girls' nerves before the show. Stevie was shooting everything, making sure she captured all the moments of the day. The girls and guys all looked fabulous in their formalwear! Check out the photos below to get a sneak peak. We will be posting more on our facebook page soon!!!

Photobooth Live!

Hey all, Lyndsey here! Stoppin by to report that Southview's Coming Home dance was made EXTRA fun with the appearance of Photobooth Live! With over 1500 photos taken, I would definitely have to say it was a smashing sucess. Here are a few photos from the evening!
