Big Print Sale

Now this can be read in two different ways, one is a (Big) Print Sale and the other is a (Big Print) Sale. We are running the latter with a 25% off sale on all prints 16x20 and larger, including Gallery Wraps. There are some new options with Gallery Wraps as well called Photo Splits, which are three Gallery Wraps of a single image split into a series. See the image below. We are also extending the sale to include float mounts which are a thin canvas wrap mounted on a block so it sits farther from the wall. Depending how it's lit, the shadow it creates can add a unique design element to the image. There are other options for the Gallery Wraps as well, such as high gloss wraps and leather wraps. For those of you who don't know what a Gallery Wrap is to begin with, it's an image printed on canvas that wraps around a wooden stretcher frame and part of the image wraps around the edge so it does not need to be framed.
If you want a more traditional look, we just picked up a new line of frames and mattes at the PPSNYS trade show, which not only look awesome, but they are priced right as well.
The "Big Print" Sale will run through the end of April, however plan ahead and come in soon if you would like these back for Mother's Day.

Cole and Company

I'm getting ready to head to Albany tomorrow morning before the birds wake up to attend the Professional Photographer's Society of New York's annual conference. The trade show is one of the highlights of the conference with 50+ vendors from the photography industry showing off what's new for 2010. One of the people I check out annually is my friend Dennis Cole from Backgrounds by Cole. I went to his website today to browse what's new and sent him an e-mail to see if he was bringing a few specific backgrounds I want to look at. I also sent him an image I took using one of his backgrounds of one of my high school seniors. Within minutes the photo was up on his website as one of his samples.
If you're a photographer, check out his website for some pretty cool patterns, especially the Abstract and iDrop backgrounds.

Winter Print Sale

Through the end of February, we will be having our annual winter print sale. Until midnight on February 28th, all reprints will be 40% off, any size, any finish. Now is the time to decorate your wall with that large Gallery Wrap you've had your heart set on.

Important Note: If you want to pay by credit card and you're ordering from our ImageQuix proofing site, click "Paying by Check" and call the studio with your credit card. ImageQuix will not take the discount off and will charge you card for the full amount.

Stay tuned in March for our Big Print Sale as well as our Graduation Announcement Sale for seniors.

Class of 2009 Still Going

We are well in to photographing the Class of 2010, however it's not too late for the Class of 2009. We did quite a few yearbook headshots that the senior decided to do their full session later on, whether it's to wait for the braces to come off or a sports season that falls later in the year, etc... Now is the perfect time for the Class of '09 to get their graduation announcements and graduation party invitations from us.

Makayla is one of our senior reps from Bloomfield. We had a cool session in Canandaigua a few weeks ago. I love playing with the over powered strobe to balance with the sun.

Our Economic Stimulus Plan

Your senior year will come whether the economy is good or bad. Don't let poor economic conditions deter you from having the senior portraits you've hoped for. We have a plan that will help ease the financial concerns of having your senior portraits done.

At Chesler Photography, we pride ourselves in offering the highest quality, service and senior portrait experience. We did not want to devalue what we offer because of the economy, however, we do understand that the economy has placed a strain on our clients. We have decided to implement an installment plan to spread out your senior portrait order over the course of a year. Here is how it works. When you place your order, you decide how much you want to put as a down payment and we divide the balance over the next 12 months which will be charged to a credit card on file the first of each month. We will place your order once we receive half of the total amount due. If you need your order sooner rather than later, a larger down payment would be necessary, but that is entirely your choice.

For more details or to book your session, call the studio at 585-393-9242. Visit our new senior website at http://www.cheslerseniors.com.

Fairport Senior

I had the honor of photographing Cindy, a Class of 2010 senior from Fairport this past Friday as one of our senior models. She had such a great personality and I look forward to our second shoot later this summer. We are still seeking a select few seniors for our model rep program. If you're interested, let us know by e-mail or by calling the studio at 585-393-9242.
