Meet The Moments' Team

This week we are celebrating our Moments Photography staff.



We are all committed to bringing you the most incredible photographic art you will ever own. We realize that your heart is a part of every portrait we create just for you. We also realize the investment you are making with this purchase and appreciate the trust you have placed with us. These things we do not take lightly.



So today we are highlighting your creative team, Lori Reeder and Jacob Reeder.






Miss Lori is our Photographer Extraordinaire! She is able to capture that perfect pose, whether taking a Family Portrait, Senior Sports Shot or a Precious Newborns First Picture. She has over 20 years experience as a photographer, shooting her first wedding when she was only 17, and look where she is now!

Miss Lori is the visionary of the team. She has created a unique environment that allows her staff to be creative and and we in turn can give our customers "one of a kind" portraiture that becomes a precious work of art in your lives.

She lives in New Albany with her husband Ed and their babies "Princess and "Gizmo".



Miss Lori's favorite quote "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you will always be right" pretty much sums up her philosophy. And you know, she always believes she can!









Jacob Reeder is our Senior Graphic Artist. His specialty is helping to make our portraits the works of art our clients have come to expect.

Jacob became interested in graphic design in High School when he took a photography class and learned the software necessary to create unbelievable images. His knowledge of composition and design elements bring an expansive skill base allowing cutting edge portraiture for our clients. Our Seniors really are excited about the cool images Jacob has created.


Jacob and his fiance' Heather live in New Albany. In his free time Jacob enjoys playing video games, disc golf and listening to Pink Floyd.









In our next post we will continue our celebration with our office staff. In the meantime, create your Christmas card list so you will know how many you need to order this year. Our first Christmas set goes up this week so make your appointment early. We don't want you to miss out!


Have a great day and stop by the boutique if you are out and about. We would love to see you.

Halloween Costume Portraits

It's Never Too Early!

I have always wondered why people shop for the holidays like they do.

For instance, I have friends who are already finished with all of their shopping and I have others who will wait until the very last minute to do theirs. I have friends who brag that they do all of their shopping on the Internet and just wait for the boxes to "show up" on their doorstep (like my darling husband). And then I have the ones who have the best intentions and the greatest ideas for the perfect present, but because of their procrastination the gift is usually not available when they get around to actually making a purchase!

At our staff production meeting a few weeks ago, we "brainstormed" about our Christmas sets and decided what sets Miss Christy would create. I know it seems a little premature to be planning Christmas before Halloween is even here, but that's our timetable. So, as we were deciding where each set would go and what date it would go up, I thought "How simple would it be for our clients to be able to do all of their Christmas shopping at Moment's?"

I know most people would welcome a great portrait gift of someone special and I have spent hours searching for items that we could use for portrait gifts. Well, TA-DA, we are unveiling our Moment's Holiday Collection for 2010. We are offering everything from fine wall portraits to whimsical one of a kind purses to the perfect picture paperweight for a desk!

There will be Holiday sessions available beginning on November 5Th so we can offer Moments' custom designed Christmas Cards in plenty of time for you to send to everyone on your list. So all you have to do is choose which outfit to wear and which session you want to book!

Our first set "White and Bright Christmas" will begin on November 5TH and the first 10 clients who book and pre-pay for their session will draw a photo buck that could be worth up to $25.00! So call the Moments Photography Studio at 812-282-2300 to schedule your session.

The Ribbon Cutting & Grand Opening Bash

What a terrific day! We had our ribbon cutting along with a special toast to success in our new location in Jeff. We had quite a few people stop by throughout the afternoon. Tomorrow is our big Grand Opening Bash from 1 to 5.

Kids can get their photos taken with Dorothy and Toto. Every family can pick "bonus bucks" off our money tree. The Jeff Police will be giving out Child ID Kits. The Jeff Fire Department is bringing a ladder truck for the kids to explore. We'll have a special drawing for Gift Certificates for a haircut from Mark's Hair Depot, a massage from Massage Therapist Heather Duncan, and others. We'll also be giving away a Photo Purse and other items. So make sure you get in the drawing!!

It was a tough decision to leave Charlestown, but it was time to open the studio up to a larger audience. So far, it seems to have been a great decision. This is only our third week open, and we are already booking sessions from brand new clients who have just "walked in" to see what we are all about.

We are still very involved in Charlestown, especially at the high school and we will continue to be. Last weekend we photographed the Little Pirates Football League and caught up with lots of folks we hadn't seen in a while. I was amazed by the number of 8, 9 and 10 year olds that I photographed when they were just babies and now have watched grow up!

I'm looking forward to meeting lots of new kids and watching the Moments family grow in our new location, but Charlestown will always have a very special place in my heart.

If you can't make it to the grand opening bash tomorrow, I hope you'll drop by and visit soon!

Best wishes,

Lori
