Santa never forgets...

When Santa stopped by our studio to discuss his picture project with us (to be at LeGourmet Chef on 12/21), he wanted to pay a special visit to our studio manager, Michele (though he called her "Shelly").

He said that Shelly's home was one of his favorites to visit when she was a little girl.  He said that she always "believed," and she always greeted him with warm hugs every time she got to see him and tell him what she wanted for Christmas.

It was like turning the clock back when Santa said, "HO, HO, HO!!!"  "Shelly's" face lit up with a big smile, and she again greeted Santa with a big hug and a smile!  

It was fun to be there and watch the special "reunion."  But I think you can trace back Michele's genealogy and learn that she is actually related to Santa!  No wonder kids love Michele when they visit our studio!  She has the same warm, caring and generous heart!  She is a joy to be around!

Merry Christmas!

Santa is coming!

It's only a week away!  What, you say?  Santa's return to Chillicothe!

Santa helped us raise money for Rock for Tots just two weeks ago by appearing at the Christopher Conference Center and having pictures made.  Kids came from all across town to see Santa and have their picture made with him, but then he had to return to the North Pole as things were getting busy in the toy shop.

Well, we talked with Santa again last week, and he has agreed to take time from his busy schedule for more pictures.  Oh, and these aren't just "snapshots" or "Polaroids."  These are professional studio pictures!  If Santa can come all the way from Alaska (especially this close to Christmas), 

then we can certainly bring

our studio lights and equipment for great pictures on location!

Santa will be appearing at LeGourmet Chef on Bridge Street in Chillicothe on Sunday, December 21, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. for pictures.

Photo packages will be delivered after Christmas, but the experience with Santa so close to Christmas Day, and the quality of the photographs will be something you and your kids will never forget!

We hope to see you there!

Heather & Jesse's Wedding

I wanted to share a few images that Jerry and I captured last night at Heather & Jesse's wedding in Greenup, Kentucky.   They were a great couple and their wedding provided lots of fun detail opportunities.  These are the kind of images that enable unique "story-telling" album designs, which in turn, are fantastic for creating Storybook-style Albums and one-of-a-kind coffee-table books.

I hope to have the time soon to share more images from other '08 weddings that we were privileged to shoot.  I think you'll enjoy seeing all the unique and creative compositions our team has created this year.  And if you (or someone you know) are in the market for a wedding photographer, I hope that you'll call us to set up a free wedding consultation in our studio.  We'd love to chat about your upcoming plans!

If you do visit us as you plan your wedding, and if you book a 2009 wedding, we'll give you a free Engagement Session if you mention this blog!  (Wow...free stuff!)

Gotta run for now, I was up until 2 a.m. just looking through Heather and Jesse's images!   

Business Portraits

With everything we do at Jividen Photography, some people are still surprised that we offer professional business portraits with a copyright release for commercial use.   But, yes, it's true!  

We have a program called, "Business to Business," that enables business owners to come to our studio for a professional business portrait.  We usually create 4 to 6 images from which to choose, and selection can be done immediately if desired.  The chosen image can be emailed or burned to a CD for use on your website, business cards, newspaper advertising, etc.  You can order a Black & White or Color portrait for use, or both to keep your options open.

The cost is very affordable, which enables our clients to update their images on an annual basis without breaking their budget.

Here's an example of Sandy for her business, Staging by Sandy.  Using our Business to Business has enabled Sandy to better share the message of her business.

So just call us if we can help!

Meet Katie

I've been meaning to post this for a week or two.  Alex actually shot this image of Katie before he left for Scotland (by the way, see Alex's blog for updates).   Katie is with her "favorite guy," Jackson.  He's so cute!  Do you see the resemblance?

Katie is one of our Digital Technicians and she is doing a fantastic job!  We love having her on the staff, and working with her.   She's a whiz!

I hope to have more introductions for you soon.  So stay in touch!

Congrats James & Amy!

Here's just one of James and Amy's wedding photos from last night.  The wedding was beautiful; and their colors, decor and wedding attire were gorgeous!  

In between the wedding and the reception, we photographed the couple outdoors for about 15 to 20 minutes.  We were able to create an additional variety of special images of just the couple!  And they are ALL very nice!

We wish James and Amy the very best in their marriage, and we want to congratulate them!
