We are currently taking some time to adjust to this new world we’re living in. We will be on maternity leave for the next few weeks but will be checking in on our incoming inquiries, emails, and voicemails intermittently and our response times will be much slower than normal. Thanks in advance for your understanding. To our existing clients and friends, we are not forgetting about you and thank you in advance for your patience as finishing up your projects may take a bit longer than normal but know that we’re still working on taking care of you all as best we can! For couples that have weddings coming up, please know that you can still reach us if you have an emergency related to your event by emailing us directly at info@studio222photography.com.

We can’t wait to show you more of our Cadence!

We’re off to try to relax, decorate sugar cookies, and celebrate Christmas with family! We will be closed completely for the holiday weekend and will have limited office hours through the end of the year.

We can’t wait to see you and talk to you more in the new year! Have a wonderful holiday with your friends and families!

All our love, 

Becka & Nate (and baby C)

Since we were sleeping off our food comas on Black Friday, sightseeing in Arizona on Small Business Saturday, and flying home on Cyber Monday, we decided to start our own shopping holiday called Two Two Tuesday just for you. We oh so rarely run any specials like this so we hope that it makes your day. $500 smackaroos off our half or whole day coverage, local or not for couples getting married in 2012. It’s as simple as that. Catch? No catch. But there are a few rules…

// You must send us a completed inquiry by THIS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3rd. (A “completed” inquiry means that you actually fill out all the info categories and also fill out the questionnaire we send you minutes after.)

// You must complete your booking by December 31st of this year. (That means you’ve signed our contract and gotten your retainer payment in to us.)

// You must be getting married in 2012 on a date we are still available for.

// You must be awesome, love our work, and trust us completely with your wedding photography.

// This offer cannot be combined with any other discounts or used if we’ve already sent you a custom quote for your wedding.

// We reserve the right to end the promotion early if necessary.

// This promotion cannot be applied to weddings already booked with us for 2012.

That’s it! So hop on over to our contact form and get to filling so we can check our availability for you and send you more info and pricing. Happy Two Two Tuesday!

Thirst Relief is an organization that raises money and awareness to help provide clean drinking water to those that need it. The thought of not having access to clean water is something that a lot of us cannot even fully wrap our minds around. Right now as I type this I have a bottle of ice water on my table within an arm’s length. I also could get up and within 10 seconds of walking reach any of 7 sources of clean water around my house. And for all of that, I am extremely lucky. So many people around the world do not have the luxury of such access and drinking contaminated water is a huge problem.

So Thirst Relief came up with the idea to ask a bunch of photographers each year to donate 90 minutes of their time to a big auction to raise money. You can bid on any of the photographers to win their mentoring session and a bunch of other goodies. It’s a pretty sweet deal. You get to pick the brains of someone you like and you get to help provide clean water to those in need.

So how do you do this? It’s easy but you’ve gotta be quick! The auction is live now but will end tomorrow at 11pm. Here is the link to all of the auctions available: click HERE! And if you are interested in bidding on us specifically, here is the link to our page: CLICKITY CLICK!

So what are we offering? Since I’m due (with a baby, in case you missed the memo) in February right around the time of WPPI (when most mentor sessions generally take place) we are offering something a little different this year. Instead of an in-person session in Vegas, we are offering our session over Skype or locally in Orlando.

Amanda & Adam at Bella Collina

The session will be catered toward your needs both as an artist and for the place you are at with your business and will be determined before your session with us. Some topics that we like to talk with people about are… building relationships, utilizing social media, understanding branding, cohesive portfolio building, getting organic emotions from your subjects, working as a team, working with your spouse, making the jump to full time, getting your work published, blogging, etc.

- 1 hour Mentoring Consultation over Skype or in person in Orlando with Becka & Nate
– 30 minute follow up session a month later to check in (we don’t want to leave you hanging!)
– A bag of our favorite things (you’ll just have to be surprised!)

We would be honored if you would bid on us. As many of you know we are planning on releasing information on new mentoring/consulting services we will be offering in 2012 but we won’t be releasing it till later this year so if you want to grab some time with us now for a steal of a deal and help out an amazing organization, head on over and BID BID BID. :)

Happy Halloween! We’ll see you in November. :)

Cheers,
