Why can&#8217;t there be a simple way for busy parents to give loving and meaningful gifts?</h2>
<p>How many times have you planned to do everything just right for the  holidays, and then ended up taking shortcuts to fit it all in? Perhaps  you feel that family is all we can really count on, and the Holiday  season is the time to show your love, affection, and appreciation. But  how can you do that if you have a “to-do” list longer than Rapunzel’s  hair? Things are already piling up, and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet!</p>
<h2>Imagine if a few clicks of your mouse could make a box full of thoughtful gifts and holiday cards show up on your doorstep.</h2>
<p>I’ve struggled with buying gifts every year since I can remember.  Countless times, I’ve ventured off to the mall with the intent to  complete all of my gift shopping that day. Inevitably I leave  empty-handed, unable to find suitable gifts. Either I’m shopping for the  person who has everything, or the things I find just aren’t very  meaningful. It’s frustrating and time-consuming.</p>
<h2>That’s why I’ve put together my 2011 Holiday Gift Store.</h2>
<p>
<a href="http://laragrauer.com/wp-content/gallery/large-group-preschoolers/dsc_5937.jpg" title="" class="shutterset_singlepic477" >
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-right" src="http://laragrauer.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/477__320x240_dsc_5937.jpg" alt="dsc_5937" title="dsc_5937" />
</a>
This fall, you can purchase  personalized gifts and cards for the holidays using pictures that  you’ve already had taken in 2011! Not only do you get to capitalize on  work you’ve already done (no need to set up a fall portrait session),  but you also get a serious print discount, and access to special gift  items that aren’t normally offered. You will get:</p>
<p>·      An <a title="find your gallery!" href="http://laragrauer.zenfolio.com/featured.html">online gallery</a> of your 2011 portraits<br />
·      Discounted pricing of up to 40% off<br />
·      A rare opportunity to purchase several gift items<br />
·      Easy and safe shopping from your computer<br />
·      Meaningful gifts for your loved ones in time for your celebration<br />
·      Items delivered to your doorstep – or even right to the gift recipient’s home!</p>
<p>As a special bonus, if you purchase gifts from my store before  December 1, 2011, you will receive a free DVD slideshow from your  session!</p>

</a>
Don’t want any photo gifts?</h2>
<p>Of course, you don’t have to buy anything at all. You’re welcome to  just log in and view your photos online again because you want to.  Pictures are for looking at, after all!</p>
<h2>A word about re-prints</h2>
<p>The 2011 Holiday Gift Store will be your only opportunity to purchase  prints from your 2011 session without a re-print fee. So if you’ve been  wishing you had gotten one more 5&#215;7 for your desk at work, or an extra  8&#215;10 for Aunt Bessie, now is a great time to do it!</p>
<h2>Get out from under the pressure</h2>
<p>There’s no need for your “to-do” list to get out of control. You can  get fun and thoughtful gifts without a single trip to the mall. Get your  shopping done easily and early. Here’s what you need to do:</p>
<p>·      Go to <a title="www.laragrauer.com" href="http://www.laragrauer.com" target="_blank">www.laragrauer.com</a><br />
·      Click on “<a title="find your gallery!" href="http://laragrauer.zenfolio.com/featured.html" target="_blank">access your gallery</a>”<br />
·      Choose your gallery and start shopping!</p>
<h2>This offer is only available for a limited time</h2>
<p>The 2011 Holiday Gift Store will expire at midnight on December 7,  2011. Wouldn&#8217;t it be great to avoid the feeling of overwhelm, and have  so much of your Christmas shopping done with weeks to spare? Head over  to <a title="find your gallery!" href="http://laragrauer.zenfolio.com/featured.html" target="_blank">your gallery</a> now and start shopping.</p>
<p><strong>Remember: if you make a purchase before December 1, 2011, you’ll receive a free DVD slideshow from your session!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, so Mother&#8217;s Day is over. I had a wonderful day, and I trust that all you moms had a great day too. But that means now it&#8217;s time to turn our attention to all of those wonderful Dads out there!</p>
<p>Photos of family are so special. It&#8217;s hard to put into words what they can do for a person&#8217;s soul. Our children are so important for so many reasons, and a portrait of them can stir up a whirlwind of emotions for proud parents. My son gave me a picture of himself in a frame which he enthusiastically decorated for Mother&#8217;s Day. It&#8217;s something that I know I will hold dear forever. What better gift could there be?</p>
<p>So in honor of Dad&#8217;s Day, I am hosting a Father&#8217;s Day Photo event! This will be an opportunity for you to come get a great deal on high-end, fun and personal portraits. Special packages will be available only for this event, or you can order a la carte as always!</p>
<p>Get your Father&#8217;s Day gift done early. Sign up for your time, enjoy a fun photo session, and choose a perfect photo package for Dad. It&#8217;s as simple as that. <a href="http://laragrauer.com/about/contact-2/">Contact me </a>right away!</p>
<p>Details:</p>
<p>Date: Saturday, May 22, 2010<br />
Time: 3:00-6:00pm<br />
Where: Ballard (reserve your time for location details)</p>
<p><a href="http://laragrauer.com/about/contact-2/">Contact me</a> to reserve your time!</p>
