Daily Mantra:

“Ideas are salvation by imagination”

{frank.lloyd.wright}

2009 will be nothing short of amazing at La Bella Vita Photos. My first full year of business was a tremendous success thanks to all of my clients, my blog readers and commentators, my wonderful, supportive husband, and a little {ok…a lot} of hard work. With a new year brings a wind of freshness, emotional creativity, and unique offerings. On a personal note: it is by far, my biggest wish that everyone who stops by here has a prosperous new year filled with success, love, and peace. *Amanda*

There will be a series of 3 posts over the next 3 days because there is just SO much new stuff in store.

Day 1: {print.collections}

Day 2: {print.packaging}

Day 3: {weddings.collections}

*the following prices are for life.style photo sessions only.


{a day in the life….your.life.as.art}

img_3594-copy

This is an extremely unique opportunity to see your life as you have never seen it before, and it is my only print package that actually INCLUDES the session along with it.  “A day in your life” is a breathtaking view of your family on a basic, ordinary day…extraordinary in its simplicity.  The session itself is an all day event…early morning until evening (approximately 7-8 hours) and captures your family story in complete. The session also includes a 10 x 10 custom designed, printed, and bound book of photos taken during the day {approximately 50 + pages of photos!!}. It includes an online slide show, and online gallery viewable for 30 days, AND {yes…this is good} %50 off all prints from the session! My goal with this collection is to unfold your life and show you just how beautiful; just how perfect a simple day. However, we will have the opportunity for some posed shots as well. A 50 page, 10 x 10 book usually sells for over $450.00 all by itself!

This session includes my time and talent as a photographer, the book, slide show/ online gallery, AND the discount.

{INVESTMENT….$550.00}

*I will be taking a VERY small number of these session (probably no more than 2) this season. Please email me for deposit details. As an added bonus…the first person to book this session will receive a $50 discount on print purchases.

{the.complete.collection}

This is for the person who really wants a taste of every thing…for the person who LOVED all of the photos in the gallery and simply CANNOT decide on what to order. It includes a stunning, custom created, 5 x 7 Finao Proof Box {see images below…courtesy of DESIGN AGLOW}, filled with every single photo from your session. Every photo will be un-watermarked, and in the classic 5 x 7 size. This also includes your photos on a CD, in FULL RESOLUTION along with complete printing rights . This is a VERY rare offering, and will give you complete control over your photographs. Do you want  your photos for a scrapbook, Christmas/Holiday card, or a calendar? This would be the collection for you. The 5 x 7 photos from an average session alone would be over $450.00!  This proof box will not be offered in any of my other collections. It will, however, be sold on an individual basis. This special price is for a limited time. In 2010 the price will be raised to $750!

{unlimited.collection}

My final collection has completely unlimited potential, discount offerings, and even a special gift. It is divided into 3 separate parts…each one more delicious than the next. I hate the thought of people being bound to order something they might not want, so I have decided to not limit you to a pre-selected number of photos, or predetermined size. No matter what you order, you are getting a great deal, and YOU decide exactly what you want. {photo is courtesy of Finao}

{oh.product.love} » Labellavitaphotos.com - [...] Yesterday, I excitedly waited for the FedEx man to deliver the precious box, and it did not disappoint. The box itself…beautiful and archival, feels just like canvas to the touch. Just perfect. I almost hate to send it out to my client, but alas, I must let it go so she can enjoy the photographs of her lovely little one.  If you have not checked out my digital collection please do so…its at a great price for this season only….http://labellavitablog.com/?p=1142 [...]
