I think we would all agree that the photo on the plain white background of this young man is very good.  I like the way the white isolates him and shows off his “look” and charm.  But another way to go is to slip in to a background that matches the mood.  Now, some may like the edging I put around the photo and some may not.  But can we all agree that the portrait itself is both just as good as the one on plain white and in some ways better?

Overland Park has JC Penny Portraits, Portrait Innovations and The Picture People, to name a few.   We have established a happy customer base from former customers of those business establishments.  Oh, they do a fine job, to be sure.   We here at Portraits Today Studios are not knocking them. 

It’s just that we hear how much more “calm” and “soothing” our portrait studios are. 

If you are in need of a professional photography studio where you can feel comfortable they can take your children’s pictures, think about us.  Looking for a quality “head shot” for your business cards or websites or facebook?  Think about us.  Know a high school senior who still needs their senior pictures done?  Think of us.

So whether you live in Olathe, Lenexa, Gardner or yes, Overland Park, think of us.

Not only are we doing these portrait sessions on March 27 and April 3 but we’ve also added March 16-20 to the dates the bunnies and baby chicks will be here.  Only two time slots remain for March 27 and four slots remain for April 3.  So we know those will go and that is why we’ve given you more slots to pick from.  So call us today!

(Isn’t the little girl to the right something?  I realize the picture has nothing to do with Easter pictures, but it is still cute!)

We love taking professional portraits of Kansas City area children.  Help us spread the word!  And as always, we appreciate your ongoing support.

By the way, we’ve come out with our Spring Special.  Two 8×10s, two 5×7s and Eight wallets of one pose for $18.95*, you pick the pose.  (*Price is honored with any other purchase.  Purchase only the Spring Special and it’s still a very reasonable $34.95.)  And as an added bonus we will email you a web-sized image for easy posting on facebook. 

We’ve also added a couple new packages to our line-up.  Our new Green Star portrait package is 3 sheets for only $40.00.  And our new Platinum Star portrait package is $155.00 with all sorts of goodies, a 16×20 and 10 portrait sheets.  As always, each portrait sheet can be a different pose, if you like.  Check out the links for the details.

And remember, we’d love to have you in for some Valentine’s Pictures.  But if you cannot make it in for those we have our live bunnies and baby chickens days coming up in March…just in time for warmer weather, Easter and getting outdoors!

But hey, I know that 95% of our readers are the ladies.  So I just wanted to remind you that today is the day to book your Valentine’s Day pictures of the kids.  We have quite a full Saturday for February 6.  But Saturday February 13th still has numerous openings.  We’d love to have you.

We do product photography here at Portraits Today Studios.  Prices start as low as $15.00 an image with most images costing $25.00.  We write the final images to a CD with a copyright release.  Then you upload them and compete with the big boys.

So if you own your own online business or if you are looking to sell an item on ebay or craigslist you may want to consider our product photography services for Kansas City…and beyond.  By beyond I mean that we accept shipped items.

Below you will find some of the portraits we’ve been doing for pets recently.  You will notice we’ve had a great many dogs.  But where are the cats?  People, we need some of you to bring in your cats, snakes, llamas and what not.  (Okay, maybe we haven’t actually done a lot of llama photography.  But we can dream, can’t we?

Call us today at 913.568.1579 to schedule a time bring in your favorite pet.  Or, if you are an equestrian lover and want us to come to you inquire about our location fees.  They are very reasonable.  And bringing your pet in for some quality professional photography is only a $10 sitting fee for the animals.  (Hey, we have to spend time cleaning up hairs, slobber and all sorts of things.  Ek.)

Our Hours
First, this is the last Sunday I’m scheduled to be here until next holiday season.  So from this point forward in 2010 we are open BY APPOINTMENT on Sundays.  Don’t get us wrong.  We are happy to come in and serve your needs on Sunday.  We just don’t want to be here if you are not going to be here.    So if you want a Sunday appointment just give us a call and we are happy to get you scheduled.

Our Current Special
We here at Portraits Today Studios are currently reviewing our Current Special.  Not sure when it will end, but I suspect around the end of January.  Now we will come up with something else, I’m sure.

Our Health As A Small Business
Many, many of you inquire as to “how we are doing?” and we thank you for your sincere interest.  Because of your positive word of mouth and constant brand building on our facebook page we have just begun our fifteenth month in business.  November and December were the first two months we had the previous year to go by and I’m happy to announce that we experienced growth in both months.  That’s not to say I’m heading to Cancun anytime soon.  But the rent is paid and for that we are grateful.

We sincerely thank you all for your loyalty and positive word of mouth.  I think we are putting together a pretty great staff here and are providing something pretty special to the Olathe community as well as to comers from Overland Park, Gardner, Spring Hill, Lenexa and other surrounding communities.  Heck, we have folks drive in regularly from Baldwin, Grandview and even Northwest Missouri.  Wow.  We are flattered.

As we all work together to make a stronger economy in 2010 lets not forget some of the lessons we’ve learned in 2009.  Simple pleasures can bring families closer together.  We’ve learned to do without things we don’t necessarily really need.  We’ve learned to be creative and adaptive.

Wishing you and yours the best in 2010!
