We’re looking for high school juniors to become Models for Jesse Valley Photography (JVP).
A JVP Model is a high school student who wants unique and amazing senior portraits—and wants to spread the word about JVP to his/her friends. Models receive great benefits for their participation in this exclusive opportunity.
Model Benefits include: A FREE Signature session ($195 value). A FREE Buddy Session ($150 value). Models will also receive incentives when they refer friends: $20 cash AND 1 point per referral. The points can be redeemed for iTunes gift cards, an iPod Shuffle, cash and even a 13-inch MacBook.
So here’s your chance to tell a friend, relative or neighbor about this great opportunity for the class of 2011. And if we choose your recommendation, you will get $20 cash.
Please forward this email to any juniors you know who might be interested. They can go to www.jessevalley.com/modelsto learn more and apply.
REMINDER: Deadline for applications is March 5, 2010.
Winter weddings in Minnesota are fun to photograph. Although it was very cold and the sun sets early in late December, the love between Jodi and Ross was more than enough to warm even the coldest of guests. We had such a great time photographing this wedding, and we wish Jodi and Ross the very best.
Hi, everyone. There’s news at Jesse Valley Photography and I wanted to share it with you.
I’m moving my studio operations out of the storefront on 36th Street in St. Louis Park. The tough economy and low sales forced this difficult decision, but I’m still very much in business and easy to reach. In fact, not only am I providing the same high level of service and quality that you’ve come to expect from JVP, I’m now doing it for less thanks to my reduced overhead. And I’ll get to focus even more on what I do best: shooting memorable portraits of you and your loved ones on location. Of course, I’m also happy to accommodate requests for studio sessions.
Even though I’m lowering my prices, there’s no change to the referral gifts you get when you send business my way. You’ll still receive $45 print credit for portrait referrals and $140 print credit for wedding referrals.
Thank you so much for your business and support. It’s more important now than ever. Please keep me in mind for your next photography need and tell your friends and family about Jesse Valley Photography.
Announcing a special offer that will make your season brighter.
But only for a limited time.
On December 5 and 12, you can take advantage of this special offer:
• $25 for a one-hour photo session (FREE when you order 50 or more holiday cards)
• Review photos on the spot and select your favorite
• Choose from several custom card designs to go with your photo (see a small sample of the designs below)
Your custom cards will be ready to pick up the following Wednesday. Plus, your portraits will be posted online for 48 hours after your session for you to view and order additional prints from home.
Sessions start each Saturday at 9 AM, and each available time slot must be reserved in advance by prepaying the $25 session fee (if you order 50 or more holiday cards, the session fee will become a credit toward your purchase). The minimum card order is 25, and they are $2.35 per card.
Make this season extra special. Call 612-382-2867 to prepay your session fee and reserve a session today.
The following is just a small sample of the many custom card designs that you can choose from:
The assignment was color—interpret it however you want. Both Jesse and Lisa shot one roll of 36 exposures, Kodak ISO 100. Then each chose their favorite. Take a look at the two photos below and choose the winner via the poll.
Bring your kids (or pets) and a food shelf donation to the studio on Saturday, October 31 from 2:00–5:00 pm. We’ll take some photos of your costume clad kids (or pets) and you’ll get one FREE 5×7! Tell your friends!
They say it’s better to give than to receive. Why not do both?
Enjoy giving and receiving in October during Family Portrait Month. For every family session booked, we’ll give a $50 donation to Operation Smile and you’ll receive $50 off your session.
Two additional ways to save:
1. Dine at Vescio’s. Since we’re celebrating families this month, what better way to enjoy yours than to share a meal together. Save an additional $25 when you eat at Vescio’s restaurant in October (St. Louis Park location). Just bring us your receipt!
2. Tell a friend. Family Portrait month is a great deal (and a good cause). So shout it from the rooftops! Tell all your friends, family and co-workers. For every referral who becomes a customer, you’ll be rewarded with a $35 credit at the studio.
Family portrait sessions are fun and memorable at Jesse Valley Photography. Whether at your home or a favorite park, we’ll capture your family laughing and interacting together. You can even include your pet! These artful and candid memories are perfect for holiday cards, gifts for grandparents and custom art for your home.
The Fall Colors gallery show was a lot of fun! Thank you for coming and seeing my work, and for listening to the music of Noah Hoehn. Here are some pictures from that night, which I hope you enjoy. If you would like to see an online gallery of the prints (and purchase your own print), go here.
I’m excited to announce the next exhibition of my fine art photography. Come to my studio (click here for a maps.google link) on Saturday, September 26 from 7–10 PM and see the fall colors. The show will feature 14 new photographs by Jesse Valley and great music by local harmonica player Noah Hoehn. Enjoy some complimentary refreshments and wine and enter to win a family portrait session and 11×14 print from Jesse Valley Photography. I hope to see you there!
This was probably the most unique thing that I have photographed at a wedding. The new bride Stacey and her groom Doug water-skied down the Mississippi River in their bridal gown and tux! Although she lost her veil in the water, she managed to keep hold of her bouquet the entire time. This was so much fun, and I would love to photograph more unique weddings such as this. Enjoy!
