Yesterday I announced an awesome sale on FINE ART CANVAS prints
for BAREFOOT MEMORIES FAMILIES.

As I was working on some images for a family,
I also had my mind on this canvas sale,
and when this image came up on my monitor,
I thought to myself,
"OH MY! I WOULD TOTALLY GET THIS ON A BIG CANVAS!!"

Seriously... how cute would this be!?

He loved the water so much that his jeans were weighed down by all the salt water.
Can't you just see his thoughts!? "Uhhh... a little help, guys?!"

To make a cute set of canvases, I'd order this one, too, with the brothers' sandy toes:

With this canvas sale, it's possible to get more than one and make a heart-string-tugging set
on your wall or in a hallway.

Here are the links to get your canvases:

CLICK HERE to order a 16x20 ($100)

CLICK HERE to order a 16x24 ($120)

prices include shipping! good through SUNDAY NIGHT!

This is only for Barefoot Memories families, and once you order your canvases,
just email me (or include the details in the notes of your order) and let me know
which image(s) you want. Then POOF! You'll have your Fine Art Canvas in about 2 weeks!

Have a great weekend!

Hi there!

I have some cool announcements for you!

FIRST is that I have an opening for a session this weekend!
Some calendar confusion happened, and the session I was going to have on Sunday morning got moved to
later next week, so I have an opening for a coveted WEEKEND PRIVATE SESSION!
(no minis, unless you can find a friend to take another mini slot with such short notice)

If you're interested, email me at barefootmemories@gmail.com and we can work out the details!

NOW, for the next thing I have to show you!
I've been using ZENFOLIO for my online galleries for a while now,
and because I was in that online gallery system business for so long,
I'm picky when it comes to features & whatnot.

I have constantly bugged the folks at Zenfolio for new features that I've seen around
or just cool stuff that pops into my spazzy brain.

TWO of those features were:
EMBEDDABLE SLIDESHOWS for blogs & websites
and
GLOBAL shipping with multiple currencies

Wouldn't you know it, those guys worked hard and made them happen!
Oops! I can't say GUYS any more because they finally added some much-needed estrogen to their crew
(I'd been bugging them for a while about being a dude-only office! Can't do that any more!)

Check out this awesome slideshow that I created with just a few clicks:
(email subscribers, go to the blog online to see it)

Isn't that gorgeous!?!?

They've also added global shipping & many many currencies!
I recently had a client who said,
"My mother-in-law lives in England. Can she just order from the gallery herself?"

I busted out a big smile and said "ABSOLUTELY!"

If you hover on that slideshow and click "visit gallery,"
you'll can go into that gallery and pretend (just pretend!) you're shopping.

When you add something to your cart, you can choose where you want your order shipped
and which currency you want to use.
Based on those choices, the gallery system will show you what's available!

If you're a photographer and want to get set up on a system like that,
you can get $20 off by CLICKING HERE.
If you go to Zenfolio.com, you can also use the promo code barefoot-80 for the same deal.
Zenfolio is already a rediculously low $100/year, but with that link,
you'll get a year for $80.

Gotta go figure out what on Earth I'm going to make for dinner... wish me luck!

I'm sitting here at my desk, but I feel like I'm in a race... no, a sprint.

Today is the last day of school, so as my kids are counting down the minutes at school up the street,
I'm here tearing through a to-do list at breakneck speed, trying to get as much done as possible
so that I can be a MOM and not a photographer/business-owner during their first hours of summer vacation.

Summer openings are filling up, but there are a few left.

Saturday July 11th is available for a private session, and there are a few openings for some
MINI sessions as well.

OH, I also have an opening for a mini on the ocean side of Coronado tomorrow afternoon at 5:30pm
if you're feeling spontaneous!

CHECK THE CALENDAR, and if you see a "mini," click on that mini and see which time slots are still available.

If you see a timeslot that works well for you, email me and claim your mini!

This is a collage from a mini last weekend in Balboa Park:

Aren't they an awesome family!?

And here are some images from an ultrafun La Jolla mini:

this one is perfect for Father's Day, don't you think??

and does anyone need tickets to the GUNSHOW?? they're over THERE!

That last pic was taken in La Jolla tucked inside some fabulous open shade.
One of the reasons why I LOVE La Jolla is the abundance of little spots like this
where we can escape full sun for a few moments.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

The new Barefoot Memories website launched months ago, on January 1st.

Since then, I've been meaning to update the "About..." page with more videos
that didn't make it into the initial website release.

I launched the site with twelve videos and thought, "I'll put in the others 'later'."

Of course, in my mind, "LATER" was a week or two.

In my procrastination-rich reality, "LATER" turned into five months, but that's OK. I finally got it done!

I've added eight new videos to the "About..." page, so if you want to kill a few minutes,
CHECK IT OUT HERE!

There are videos on:
-my christmas tree
-if my house were burning down..
-where I got my edumacation
-dogs & cats
-how I totally rock out like Kris Allen (not!)
-how I get my caffeine
-what boobtube shows I like
-my dream vacation

Silly stuff, I know.

THANKS AGAIN, DANA, for helping with that!!!

If you're a Facebook'er (who isn't these days??),
I've created a FACEBOOK PAGE, too.

Seems like having Facebook fans is what all the cool kids are doing,
so if you have one extra mouse-click stored up in your index finger,
feel free to click that cute little thumbs up icon!!

ONE LAST ANNOUNCEMENT before my Diet Coke from Carls Jr wears off...
Because of all the rescheduling going on over the last month,
I've got an opening for a MINIin Balboa Park this Saturday at 4:30!

Want an afternoon mini in the park? Here's your chance!

EMAIL ME at barefootmemories@gmail.com if you're interested.

Have a great afternoon!

QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT:

If you'd like an AFTERNOON MINIon a weekend (those are rare),
I've got a few openings for this Saturday and Sunday in La Jolla!

Email me at barefootmemories@gmail.com if you're interested!

Have a great day!
