new website coming!!

Stay tuned everyone-I will have a new website ready to launch sometime this week. I have been working on it for a while now-and its finally almost finished! Just wanted to give you a heads up!

Also-I will be getting in touch with everyone who has portrait sessions online. These will no longer be viewable online as soon as the website switches over(does not include weddings). We will work out another alternative for your proof viewing.

Have a great day-so nice to see the temps up a bit!!

New Phone Number

Effective immediately, I will no longer have my old studio number(815-443-9074). The new number to reach the studio is 815-821-4583(this is my cell phone-so some of you may already have this number). You can also reach me through email at tamararoach@hotmail.com.

Have a great weekend and stay warm with these frigid temps we are having!!

Happy 2010!!!!

Wow-just realized it has been forever since I have updated this blog!!! It has been a very busy past few months with fall weddings-Christmas pictures and we moved into town(Pearl City) during all of that! I hope everyone out there had a wonderful Christmas and was able to spend quality time with the family!

As the new year rolls in, a few changes will be made with the studio.

1. The studio has been relocated! I will miss being in my old location-but it’s a good change for me! I am now located at 410 South Main Street(still in Pearl City) right across the road from the Methodist Church. I am now strictly available by appointment only as the studio is in my home. If you need to get in touch with me you can call me at the studio number-815.443.9074 or email me at tamararoach@hotmail.com.
2. Beginning January 1st, 2010, I will no longer be doing online proofing. All proof viewing will be done at the studio within 2 weeks of your session. A proof viewing appointment will be set up at the time of your session. One bonus to this is that all orders placed at this initial appointment will receive a 10% discount!!
   

More children’s specials will also be available this year. My goal is to eventually have them monthly-but I will probably start every other month or so to begin with. These sessions will involve some type of “theme”. So-if anyone out there has any neat ideas or something you would like to see-please let me know-I want your opinions too!! Also-if you want to be on the mailing list for these specials-please send an email to me letting me know-include your name-address-phone and email address.

I hope everyone has a wonderful end to 2009 and a wonderful beginning to 2010!!!!

Halloween Portrait Event

A beautiful outdoor wedding

I LOVE outdoor weddings-except that the weather sometimes doesn't cooperate! Saturday was not looking good for an outdoor wedding-but the rain magically went away just in time to start pictures. It was a little chilly-but we all survived! Zach & Jamie were such a sweet couple to work with and the view we had for pictures and the ceremony was amazing! The wedding took place at the top of a hill just outside of Stockton. They had wagon rides to take the guests up the hill-how fun!! Congratulations guys-I am so glad I was a part of you special day!!

Fall Family Portrait Special

The days are getting cooler....the leaves are changing colors....it's time to start thinking about family portraits. The beautiful fall colors make a wonderful background for your photos. In addition, family portraits make great Christmas gifts-can you believe that is just around the corner...where has the year gone!

I am offering a Family Special for the month of October. Weekday or Weekend appointments are available-but space is limited...so call now to reserve your session. There is a $100 deposit due either at the time of booking or at the time of the session-this is applied towards your package.

Call today-

A summer full of Weddings

Hey everyone! Sorry I have not been keeping up with the blog lately-trying to keep up with the blog-facebook-sessions-weddings and editing has been keeping me very busy and I tend to neglect the blog once in a while! August was a busy month...I had 4 weddings-plus many other portrait/seniors sessions! Here are a few favorites from some of the weddings-visit my facebook fan page to see more!

Congratulations to Tammy & Josh; Dawn & Charlie; Quinn & Nicholas and Shannon & Joe!!!!!!
