I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving. Now it’s back to life as we know it; going back to work, school and doing all those things that we do everyday. Now we get to add in Christmas shopping and the whole gift giving saga. It’s a saga for me just because I want to give the perfect gift and something that those I give gifts to will know that I put a lot of thought into what I gave them. I actually, stress over it. I know many people do and while I try not to, I just do.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I just don’t need or want anything. What I want is to spend time with those I care about; to hang out with my friends and do it more than just once in awhile. I would love to have a few weeks to go to Germany and see my sister and her family. Owning your own business, time away is limited. I am so happy that we had our family portrait done a few years ago before they went back from a visit. Besides Facebook and the phone, that’s how I see her and her family. It wasn’t the easiest thing to do…getting our family portrait done. There is always some drama that happens with family portraits and it’s no different with my family. Ha!
If you are a client of Ridgeway Portrait Design you should be receiving our Ridgeway Chatter brochure if you haven’t already. There a few things in the brochure that may help with ideas for your loved ones or even yourself. If you have had your portraits taken with us in the last year or so, we have some new things that can be made with those images. Just take a look and let us know if we can help you give something no one else can give…a portrait of their loved ones.
Here’s a little snippet of the brochure and just click on the link for the entire brochure. Enjoy your week and I can’t wait to chat with you soon. Cheryl
Watch for our next post when we show the cutest dogs and some of their humans.

Hi, Ridgeway friends. John and I are looking for newborn babies for a project that we are doing soon. We have been asked to teach at the Professional Photographers of America’s National Convention. YIKES!! Anyway, we have lots of new ideas to try out, but have been busy all summer. Our program is in January 2012, but we need to photograph babies on new sets and be able to use those images for teaching, marketing pieces, displays and website samples. Below is the letter that is going out to over 3,000 people.
We do realize that you may not be pregnant, but if you know someone who is due soon, please pass along this great deal. They will not be charged the session; it’s FREE!! And, when they buy any images from the session they get a pretty good discount.
Thank you so much for recommending us. We appreciate the confidence you have for John’s amazing talent in photographing babies and just your friendship that we have established.
So, here’s the letter that will be sent out in the next few days.
Newborns Wanted
Can you believe it is August? And, what about this heat? Ick! I don’t know about you, but this summer has been way hotter than I can remember. Poor John is going in and out photographing high school seniors and he is going out 4-6 times a day just photographing their outdoor sessions. Hoping it’s going to break soon.
It’s hard to imagine Christmas right now, however, we have to be thinking about it. After school starts the holidays come around fast. This year we have decided to have a Christmas in August sale. It will be Friday, August 12th. If you haven’t received the letter yet, you will. If not click here and get all of the information. It is the best offer we have ever had. Miche purses will be discounted on this day also, so if you are fan of these great purses don’t miss this sale.
Thinking about having a family portrait done? Well, we are giving you 75% off the session fee price of $125 if you schedule your family (or kids) in September, October, and November.
We think you deserve a family portrait and Ridgeway Portrait Design should be the studio to get that done.
Check out our letter and be sure to call the studio with any questions you have.
See you soon.
You all know about our little Louie; the spoiled Malti-poo that claims to be the official greeter at Ridgeway Portrait Design. He is so funny and yet, so loud. LOL! Well, he misses getting to play with other dogs so every now and then we have to do something to remedy that. This Friday, we are having a Pet photo special called Me & My Pet (or just your Pet) PlayDate special.
I’m in love with my little dog & suspect there are many others just like me. For $69.95 you get to have your dog (& whoever you choose to be photographed with said dog) photographed by John Ridgeway and one 8×10 photo of your favorite pose. The photo shoot is about 20 minutes long and we guarantee some very cute photographs. We do have special packages for this special starting at $99.
We just had a client bring in her second dog to be photographed because the poor baby is having her leg amputated on Wednesday. How very sad, but she should be feeling better soon. Her mommy brought her in before she had the procedure done & we were excited to do it for her. Call us now to make your appointment. This special won’t happen again until at least, the end of the year. We are packed until fall already.
Take a look at the information below and give us a call 618-288-9000.
