2010 Mini Session Schedule

(Please click on dates to see full screen)

Mini sessions are a quick 20 minute session to capture a cute phase, get new photos for Grandma’s birthday, or an updated family portrait.  Mini sessions will be offered several times a year at different locations around the DFW area and will be announced in advance in my newsletter and here on the blog.  (If you need a mini session before the next scheduled date, private mini session events are available.)

Mini Details – $40, includes 5×7 print
- 30 minute session for up to 2 children or one immediate family
- 7-10 images presented in a private online gallery
- Five day online ordering period

Want to make a play date of it? Private mini sessions can be hosted at your home with 4 or more scheduled sessions.The host will receive a complimentary mini session on that day. Have a request for a special spot around town? Let me know and I will try to make a day of it!

All Rhonda Cinello Photography products will be available for purchase, including fine art pieces. There will be a brag book album available as well.

Mini sessions are not suitable for babies that are not able to sit unassisted or those looking for a variety of poses or multiple backgrounds or outfits. Mini sessions are suitable for those that have already had a full session but need just a few shots for gifts or for capturing a special time in your child’s life (First lost tooth? A favorite outfit that will be sadly missed when they outgrow it? Just because it is finally time for some new pictures on the wall?)

These sessions will be very limited so please contact me soon with any questions or to grab your time!

Settling in…

This week has been my first full week at the new studio. I love it~!

Yesterday I  had my first in-house order. It was so nice to sit down and go through the ordering process together. Just about everything was custom so it was very important that we meet and discuss all the options of print sizes, finishes, mat backings, etc. Two hours and two mochas later, we had an order! I am very excited about my ability to offer in-studio consultations both before and after your appointment. I have lots of samples of paper and fine art products.

I am adjusting to my new schedule. It feels different, but good. Today I met the owners of the deli inside our building. An older Asian couple who gave Tony and me free soup– spicy but oh, so yummy!Since I am within walking distance to my daughters’ school  it will be convenient for me to pop over and meet them for lunch.

I had promised to post some photos of my new place. My Nikons are still at home but I did walk around and take some iPhone photos today. I would love have you over for coffee and show you around. My new studio number is 972.564.0559

BMW – Not the Car!

From  Socially Savvy’s Joy Weaver.

———————————————————————

BMW – Not the Car!

Mannerly Parents Raise Mannerly Children To Be Mannerly Adults!
Okay – while you are at it – why not teach them three more things:
1.) Scoot-up one hand width from the table
2.) Always place your napkin in your lap first thing.
3.) Do not pick up a utensil to start eating until everyone has been served. (unless it is a buffet – when two are back to the table begin eating)
See – it’s easy! Parents should be patient and persistent with their kids – they will follow your lead.
Proverb:  22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it.
