Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

I’ve always loved Memorial Day; not just because of all the tributes to our military, but it also marks the official start of summer - and our annual ONLINE SUMMER PRINT SALE.

All orders placed online by June 30th that are over $40 will received 20% off their order!  Also note there are a couple of print packages that include multiple prints of the same image.

PARENT ALBUMS ARE ALSO ON SALE

Pre-purchase, or order by June 30th and receive TWO Esprit style duplicate clone parent albums for only $525.  That’s a $250.00 savings! But you must call the studio by June 30th.

Hope everyone has a great Holiday weekend!

For the second year in a row, Signature Studio has been rated by local brides and voted “The Knot Best of Weddings 2008/2009” pick and we are thrilled!

What sets this honor apart from others is that it’s not The Knot that makes the decision to bestow this award to us – it is real brides who were thrilled with the level of service we brought to their wedding day.

To each one of our past, current and future wedding clients, we thank you.

Our grandkids brought their parents in for the Easter weekend so we did a quick portrait session.  The kids are getting bigger and our daughter is getting smaller.  Yes, I said smaller.  In just a year she has lost over 140 pounds.  Sounds like a rapid weight loss but it comes out to a safe 2.5 pounds per week.

And just the kids

Paige wasn’t too thrilled, and we didn’t even make her wear a dress.  I think the bow in her hair put her over the edge.

Happy Easter!

We knew there was going to be a launch tonight but we didn’t think we would see it because our plane wasn’t landing until 6:30.  By the time we got our bags and rental car it was like 7:20 so we drove as fast as we could to the beach so we could get a glimps.  Although we were about 90 miles south of the launch site we see a beautiful trail of smoke and fire, then what seemed like only 10 seconds we saw (but not caught in camera) the Solid Rocket Busters (SRB) separate and fall to the ocean.  We couldn’t hear it but boy did we see it!!!!

I’m a Priceline negotiator!  And it really works!

We had a hotel booked in Palm Beach Florida at a rate of $1507 for 8 nights.  I was pleased with that rate. After all, it is spring break and spring training time in Florida.  But I had just seen that annoying commercial and thought “what the heck – what do I have to loose”!  So I entered my arrival and departing dates, city I wanted to stay, the minimum number of stars (3-1/2), and $79 per night, hit the button, and sat back and waited.

About a minute later I get a notice that my offer has been accepted.  OMG!  I just saved $783 dollars and will be staying at a Courtyard by Marriot.

So I thought – humm let’s see what I can do on a rental car.  I already have one reserved with Alamo but let’s just see.  So again I plugged in my dates, selected a mid-size car, where I wanted to pick up the car, and $14 per day. Hit the button and PRESTO – accepted, and by Alamo no less!  So I called Alamo and cancelled my original reservation and saved another $92.

Wahoo a total savings of $875.  Watch out world – I’m a Priceline Negotiator!

If you’ve been to the studio lately you may have noticed the I LUVE CHOCOLATE store located next door to the main entrance. 

If you haven’t stopped in you really should.  They sell European chocolates that are out of this world.    

Today when I came in I noticed a $1 sign on the window so of course I had to stop in and see what it’s all about.  Sure enough, they have a large selection of yummies that are on sale for $1 each.  What a perfect little treat – or better yet – what a great wedding favor idea! 

They have a website  http://www.iluvchocolate.com but not sure if the sale applies to online orders. 

Well, sort of!

My friend, Brandon Gray from Complete Music, sent me these photos of Busch Stadium after the recent snow fall.   Thought this was too funny, but then I’m a die-hard Cardinal’s fan. 

Nick, make sure your brother sees this!!!
