What do we have going on?  SENIOR PICTURES.  Prelude photography in Mentor and in Strongsville, OH is running two great senior portrait specials.  Our shooting is creative and dynamic and affordable. 

Also, our photobooth is rolling very well.  It is really a nice accent to our wedding photography.  And we are all over the Cleveland area this summer, it's a lot of fun.

We are still doing film transfer or VHS transfer to DVD.  It is only growing in popularity.

And then in Sept we are doing a special for military families with discounts in their family portraits, special gift ideas and more. 

So there you go,

see ya'll soon.

First of all, the biggest reason we've been busy is we have opened a NEW SECOND LOCATION at SouthPark Mall in Strongsville, located right across from the Kids' Play Area!  WEST SIDERS REJOICE!  We're very excited to add SouthPark Mall to the Prelude family.  Come and visit the new space during mall hours, and if you want to make an appointment at the SouthPark studio, call 440.878.9000!

ALSO, our WEDDING SHOWCASE at the Great Lakes Mall location has EXPANDED!  We have added THREE new vendors to our happy group: Plant Magic Florist, Cutting Edge Limosine, and Jenniffer & Co. Salon & Spa.  We're thrilled to have them on board, and had a great time yesterday at our first ten-vendor consult night!

And don't forget, to view the TRAIN CONTEST WINNERS, visit the Western Reserve Model Railroad Museum website HERE: http://www.wrmrrm.org.  They have posted some great pics of their winner's display!

We're always growing and changing over here... if any of you have any ideas you'd like us to consider or any testimonials you'd like to offer, shoot us an email.  :)

Happy Thursday, and we'll be talking to ya soon!

For example, we have tons of costume pieces, hats, glasses, numbers for birthdays, boas... a train, a tricycle, giant crayons... and people might bring in fairy wings (see above!), special blankets we can use as props or backgrounds, mini instruments or special toys... and that extra effort can really add that special touch to a session.

So don't be afraid to ask about bringing something in, or ask what kind of goodies we have in the back... we'll be as creative as you'll let us!

The best part of having all of these photographs for me as a mother really shows itself when things get rough. When I need to be reminded of life's joy and humor and togetherness, a photo of my small but incredible family will bring a smile to my face and help me to get to the next joyful moment.  Which I will undoubtedly take a picture of. :)

So here's to photography, here's to family, here's to living, loving and creating, and documenting the journey along the way!

The weather is warm, the trees are getting leaves again, and the sun is all shiny and I love it!  I hope everyone else is enjoying it as much as I am.  It's so great to be able to take Violet out in her stroller and walk around the neighborhood... yay fresh air!  I'm really loooking forward to taking her to the park and taking pics of her out in nature... and especially when we take her swimming for the first time! :)

It's crazy, now that I'm only here once a week (since I'm taking some time to be a Mommy at home with Vi), I miss so much; and I LOVE checking out all the pics I missed while I was gone for the week, like the one at the top of this post... the looks on their faces are just priceless!

One thing I DO know is that our bunny pics were a huge success this year... thanks to everyone who came out for their Easter and Spring pictures.  We had a great time playing with the kids and frolicking around the studio.  Hope everyone has a Happy Easter!

Check ya later... I'm going home to play with the babe!

Peace,

Cory
