until august 31 2010, if you refer a friend who becomes a new client and books a lifestyle session with us, both you and they will receive a $50 “thank you” gift voucher each. just ask your friend to mention your name when they book. these “thank you” vouchers can be redeemed immediately or saved and used together for an even bigger discount. collect five and you can use them to pay for your whole next lifestyle session fee!

after august 31, the offer will revert to our standard plan (one voucher for the referring party only)… but the double value is here to stay – from now on it will remain at $50! (offer details & terms here).

and here’s an ‘almost spring’ photo to make the post look pretty

and – for this month only (until Aug 10th) not only will you earn a “thank you” voucher for every new client we add because of you – but THEY will also receive a “thank you” voucher just for booking! it’s win-win… so don’t miss out. your friends will love you more if you refer them in time to grab their own discount

here’s the full details on our new referral rewards plan; and here’s the details on the current special offer

and here’s some winter sunlight to pretty-up this post

your pet’s photo session will be held at your home, in a relaxed and familiar environment. time will be taken to gain their trust and ensure they are comfortable with the intrusion into their space, in order to have them behaving just how they do for you, looking alert and happy!

i am so grateful that i had the foresight to capture my own gorgeous rescued wild-born kitten miffy (above) before she became terminally ill and had to be put to sleep at just one year of age. We still miss her but having such a beautiful photo is a great comfort – and seeing her little pink tongue always poking out brings back lots of fun memories!

Your beloved pets are with you for such a short time – don’t miss your chance to remember them for ever with beautiful and heartwarming portraits from available light ltd. Contact us today to arrange your booking!

and dads/kids – if you’re still stuck for ideas, (you’re cutting it a bit fine, but) there are still a few spaces left in our may portraits special (book a lifestyle session during may for may, june or july and get 20% off plus three free 8″x10″ prints of your choice) and gift vouchers are available too! the actual voucher won’t reach you by sunday but if you order one we can e-mail you an advance copy, so you’ve got something to show mum on sunday morning and she will know you didn’t just forget!

lifestyle portrait sessions take between 1-2 hours to shoot, and can be used for whole families, pets, just kids, babies/newborns, maternity, couples, or individuals. and if you’re not certain what date might suit, then gift vouchers are available too (valid for 12 months from issue date).

just e-mail photo@availablelight.co.nz to enquire or book

and here’s a photo to make this post pretty…

this is something i have been meaning to do for a while now, but kept putting it off because fiddling with wordpress theme css is not my favourite. but it was actually simpler than expected and now it’s done, i can share larger photos with you! in addition to that, i will not only be posting my favourites from my client shoots in 2010, but also writing in-between posts of various kinds to keep the front page fresh and share some of my personal photography (which outnumber my client work at least 10-to-1 haha… i’m obsessed i suppose).

so, happy new year for tonight to all my readers and clients – and i hope you enjoy the improvements!

i like simple things, and this makes my company name a lot quicker to say (and type) – but nothing else has changed; we don’t cut corners on the quality of our product or the lengths we go to making sure our customers love every minute of the photographic experience.
