Good evening <<First Name>>

Wishing you and your family a heartfelt, healthy, and more normal 2021 - Happy New Year!!  I have missed seeing so many of you and hope to see you over the course of the year!

I am glad that 2020 forced us to slow down. Hopefully we can appreciate what is really important to us and work out all the things that we can and can't live without.

Sorry you had to wait a little longer for the January newsletter but I’m excited to have so much good stuff to share and I just needed a little more time to get it all together!!  Enjoy the beautiful Diablo sunrise in the picture above!

The latest and greatest kicks off with some super fun pictures from a graduation session I photographed last year...with and without cap and gowns!  School is still taking a different shape but that doesn't mean that kids can't have fun during their senior year!!

The business spotlight introduces two new aspects to our business!  Mini sessions that run throughout the year!  The recent success with mini sessions and client feedback from the events has led me to plan to run them over the course of the year in various locations...see some of the details below and of course don't forget to check the website for updates!

The special this month offers 20% off all gallery prints!  So if you didn't get around to printing any of the images you liked from your gallery last year...or a previous year!  Now's your chance...email me for the current price list!

For the photographer in you offers a sneak into the lenses I carry in my camera bag when I'm out and about and my own camera fun comes from sunsets on Diablo!

On a personal note, I am always setting challenges and last year purchased a the poppy pass for hiking on Diablo.  This year I've signed up for the 52 Hike Challenge - yep, one a week roughly...not all on Diablo though!  Let me know if you'd like to join me on any :-)
 

Cheers and take care,

Where do I start?  I’m so excited about things to come in 2021!  Kicking it off with launching mini sessions that take place throughout the year.  There will usually be a couple each month and depending upon the time of year.  Weather, combined with what’s in bloom determines the specific locations  - a wide variety throughout the Bay Area and beyond.  Take a look at the ones I have already scheduled here and don’t forget to check back to get the updates!
 

I am also launching print sales - so exciting!  All prints will be available for purchase on my website and prices will depend upon the size of print ordered.  I expect to split them into the following categories - Abstract and Patterns, Wildlife, Coastal, Black and White and finally Triptych (one image split into 3 parts).  Some will be local to Northern California and some further afield!

I am also setting the sales up so that each print purchase will include a donation to a non-profit (specifics yet to be decided)...so you really can’t go wrong! 

There is still some more work to do behind the scenes to get this going :-). I hope to announce the launch in the February newsletter and details of prints as they become available will be highlighted in the monthly newsletter.

If you would like a flavor of what’s to come...please check out this link where you can see a selection of some of the images that will be available for print soon. 

 

...as always, do get in touch if you have any questions or would like to know more.
