Some icing on the cake

I always like doing nice things for others, especially my clients! After all it is ALL about my clients! If it weren't for you, there would be no Jennifer Jabbour Photography. There would still be a Jennifer Jabbour and a camera and lots and lots of photos of Noah, but even that would be short lived because all of those photos would end up being of Noah's back, as he runs away screaming, "No pictures!" So Noah is also very appreciative that mommy has found another outlet to satiate her photography desires.

Until May 31st, I've already put together the Mother's Day Special, which ends up being a savings of over $300 on A La Carte's, or over $100 on collections. But, as a way to say thank you, I'd like to give all my wonderful clients and client's friends and families an opportunity to save even more money.

So contact me between now and April 21st, and I will take an additional $100 off the Mother's Day Special, and expand the session to be up to 4 people for no additional cost!

And just in case I failed to mention this before, all sessions need to take place by May 31st, as well.

Growing Up

Yes, our little boy is growing up. He turned three at the end of March. I put together the sweetest slideshow to play at his party, and can barely think about it without crying. It's incredible how much he changed in just one year. When he turned two, he was still very much a baby, but somehow he became a big boy this last year. I don't know how or when, but he's so very very big now.
I'm so grateful I take pictures of everything! The only way I can remember all the cute little things he does is with these pictures. I'm horrible at writing things down, and even printing all the photos I take, but my memory always returns when I browse through the thousands of photos I have of him.
Here's a couple of photos of our big boy.

I love this one because it shows his personality so much. He was looking at me with his "noculars".

I had to take one of his new big boy hair cut. I think cutting off his beautiful long strands made his turning three that much more difficult.

And this one is just oh, so precious. It's his Papa helping him ride his brand new bicycle.

Referral Rewards

As you may or may not know, almost all of my advertising is done by word of mouth. In order to keep prices down, I do not spend tons of money on advertisements. Instead, I would rather reward my clients for spreading my name around.

So, for a limited time, I am offering a Referral Rewards program.

How does it work?

Refer your friends and family to book a portrait session with me. If they contact me to book a session before April 15th, 2007, they will receive $5 off a $100 print order, $15 off a $250 print order, $30 off a $500 print order, or $50 off a $1000 print order.

What’s in it for you?

For every 4 clients you refer to me, you will receive a $100 print credit toward your next session when you order $200 or more in prints.

The Fine Print
*Session fees are payable upon booking the session.
**Referring clients $100 print credit will only be applied after referred client has completed their session.

Referral Reward program must be mentioned at time of booking.

Print Credits cannot be used for past sessions. All sessions must take place by July 1st, 2007 to qualify for the Referral Rewards Program.

Thanks for your support!

brand new

I had the pleasure of photographing perfect, little, tiny N. What can I say, but that this little sweetie stole my heart! He was just so content and barely fussed at all. Mom, you're so blessed! He's a great baby! Here's the first few proofs to tide you over until the rest are complete...

bears at the beach

These two bears were full of energy and were just loving being at the beach! I had a great time chasing them around and even though we couldn't get them to hold hands for mom, surely you will love them. Here's a little sneak peek until I can finish up the rest of the proofs.

Introducing Collections

I decided I finally want to offer photo collections. When I first started this about a year ago, I thought collections were limiting, and I didn't want to do them. I thought by offering only individual prints, I was doing my clients a favor - giving them the freedom of choice. Now that my head is no longer stuck in the clouds, I realize that collections are a good thing!

I am still going to offer prints individually, but now, you can save money when you purchase a collection. Not only are the prints within the collection discounted, but you can also receive 25% off the A La Carte prints when you choose to order a collection. Another great thing about collections is how they somewhat give you direction in what to order - if you want that kind of thing... Oh, and, almost forgot to add, the more you spend, the more you save.

If you have recently done a session with me, you can take advantage of these collections, just let me know when you order so I know to give you the discount. I'll probably be pretty easy going about this and if I identify that you managed to order a collection without even knowing it, you'll get it. I just hope I catch it! So check out my pricing page for my collections if you're interested.

Happy February

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything here. The emotional storms of life sometimes come down harder than others, so between lots of things happening in my family and all the holiday chaos and viruses, I've been quite busy with my own life. But January is finally over, and February is already here! I'm ready for this new year and I'm ready to take control and get a move on things.

First a little news: You may have noticed already, I've increased my rates in hopes that this year will be quite successful. But every month I will be offering some sort of special and I have lots of fun ideas in mind, as well, like maybe a photo contest of sorts! Those of you that know me well know that I currently work full time as a technical writer and I still find time to do this photography thing. It's something I love or I probably wouldn't be doing it. I hope to one day do so well with this photography thing that I can quit the technical writer thing one day. Also, over the next day or so I hope to give my website a new look.

Now, on to the good stuff, recent favs:

Nothing more precious...

Little J, you make me miss the baby days of my little one! You were so sweet and darling, truly the joy of your mommy and daddy's life! I loved your chubbiness and your sweet little smile!

Here's some more from the session...
