All messages will be returned today and orders will be packaged up and sent out over the next couple of days.  I hope everyone had a wonderful week!

If you’re a facebook fan you may have seen me recently post that there would be some big news coming today. Well, here it is… for the month of May, Amy Drouet Photography will be running a special on newborn sessions. But the special isn’t just for newborns born in May. It’s much much bigger and better than that! This special is for any 2011 newborn session that’s booked in May (PSSST, that means starting TOMORROW) even if your due date is December 31, 2011.

So what’s the deal?

For the entire month of May, every 2011 Just Born session booked will get 50% off of the single session fee price (a $62.50 value!), 15% off your Just Born session order AND 1 set of (25) birth announcements free (a $55 value) when you purchase announcements as part of your order.*

If you’re familiar with Amy Drouet Photography, you know that I don’t run promotions very often. But there’s an exception to every rule, and I’m so excited about this exception!

Spots are limited! For the full details email me at amy@amydrouetphotography.com right away and be sure to mention “May Madness” in the subject line. And please, spread the news!

 * Announcements must all be the same design.

Please note: Just Born sessions take place within the first two weeks after birth and ideally between 5-10 days old.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that Amy Drouet Photography will be closed Thursday, April 21 through Monday, April 25. I will return all voicemails and emails upon my return. Happy Easter everyone!
