Holiday Promotion - Last-Minute Gift Idea

I am offering a limited number of certificates for an on-location portrait session and $75 print credit for only $49!  One certificate is specifically for a newborn session - this would make a great gift for the mom-to-be!  Additional fee for travel further than 45 miles from 44053.
To order, click here to visit my gallery page and use the password:  holiday

You will then be able to choose which certificate you would like.  They are sent via email within 24 hours of purchase and can be printed at home or sent to your local printer. 

PLEASE NOTE:  Stepka Photography will most likely NOT be booking any sessions for about 6 weeks sometime March-April 2011 (specific dates have not been determined yet).  Keep this in mind if purchasing for a gift, especially for a newborn session.  The certificates do not expire.

If you have any questions, please email or call before purchasing as certificates are non-refundable.

These will be available for purchase until December 31, 2010 or until they are sold out.

February Special

Share the Love

And we will let you share the cost!!

Invite a friend to share your portrait session and pay only one session fee!  Your $200 session fee will be good for both sessions.  In addition, a $100 print credit will be applied to each session (with a minimum $150 order each). 

Please note that indoor sessions require at least one large area that is preferably well-lit with natural light (i.e. windows, patio door, etc.)  But remember, just because it's winter doesn't mean you can't still have a great outdoor session.  Hats, sweaters, coats, etc. photograph wonderfully.  These items add texture and layers which, in turn, add depth and interest to your images.  Click for a few recent examples. 

To book, call or email us.  Share-the-Love Sessions must take place by February 28, 2010.

Last Minute Holiday Gift Idea

Until midnight, December 23rd, you can purchase Gift Certificates for up to 50% off. These certificates are valid for print purchases only and are available in any denomination.

Certificates $99.00 and under are $25% off and certificates $100 and over are $50% off. (example: a $100 certificate will cost $50.00, or a $50.00 certificate will cost $37.50)

Certificates are 5x7 size so they may be given as a gift in a frame, or they can simply be emailed. You may also use them yourself for past or upcoming sessions.

To purchase, send me an email indicating how many certificates and for which amounts. You will then receive an electronic invoice through paypal (you do not need a paypal account) and the certificates will be sent via email within 8 hours of receipt of payment.

Happy Holidays from my family to yours!
