Now for the fine print.....
I'm feeling extra nice this holiday season. I was going to make this special for new sessions only, but I've changed my mind. This special can be images from your favorite past session(s) with Barbara Walker Photography or a new session booked and shot during the month of November 2010. Gift certificates, referral/rep cards, and holiday mini special cannot be combined with this special. If your proofing/ordering session happens to be booked in December, you can only partake in this November 2010 special and not the December 2010 special. Please note that even though the special ends on November 30, 2010, you will need to book your shooting date during the month of November; so book early!

Sept. Special being postponed til October - Emmett, Idaho Photographer

9/11 was a very sad day for me this year. I personally don't know anyone that lost their life on the 9/11 attacks but it's still a day of remembering for me. Each year I pray for those lost and their families.

Well this year hit me even harder. My Aunt lost her battle on breast cancer. She was diagnosed over 10 years ago and immediately chose to fight it. She did what she had to do and rocked the battle for many years.  There are two people that I Relay for (American Cancer Society Relay For Life) and Melanie was one (my Dad is the other). Aunt Melanie gave me inspiration each and every time I saw her and I admired her fight to live. As you read, her fight was cut short. So I will be traveling to California to be with family and to attend her funeral.

Because of my traveling, the September 2010 Special is now being postponed.It will continue into October so that my families can take advantage of this awesome deal for their family sessions. I have stopped taking bookings for the rest of September 2010 and will not be back into Idaho til October 9th. There are dates already booked in October so if you want to take advantage of this awesome family special, contact me immediately to secure your shooting date.

So what's the Special again? Book a family session during the month of October 2010, and receive your choice of 1 16x20 Metallic Finish Float Wrap OR 1 5x5 Custom Storybook Album for FREE. That's right....FREE! THAT'S A $350 VALUE FOR FREE!!!!!!!



AND NOW FOR AN ADDITIONAL GOODY!!!! Take advantage of this special and secure your October family booking by October 2nd and you'll receive a set of 24 5x7 Single-Sided Customized Holiday Cards with envelopes for free (a $48 value). Yes, you read that right....a complimentary set of Holiday Cards showcasing your favorite images from your family session for free (remember, session fee must be paid in full in order to secure your shooting date).


Here's the fine print......
Family session must be booked and shot during the month of October 2010. Gift certificates, referral cards, and holiday mini special cannot be combined with this special.

How many times have you said to yourself that you were going to get your holiday cards out by Thanksgiving weekend? And then life happens and you can't get to them til 2-3 weeks later or possibly it was even later than that. I understand, I've been in that situation a few times myself.

Barbara Walker Photography is her to help you this 2010 Holiday Season. You're probably thinking that I'm crazy for even mentioning the holidays already; especially considering the incredible hot weather we've been having lately.
