$100 for a 2-3 hr photo shoot? You're kidding, right?!?!

Nope, not kidding! If you're in the NC/VA area and would like some FABULOUS holiday photos for your family, check out my niece's work here.

She offers a 2-3 hour professional photo shoot for $100 (up to 6 people! $25 for each additional person) - as many outfit changes as you'd like, as many poses as you'd like!

The best part, though - she doesn't require you to buy your prints from her! She gives you a disk with the edited photos (no PROOF stamped across the front of them all) and you can print them at home, drugstore, Walmart, online, email them - whatever you want! They are yours!

Sounds like the work wouldn't be great for the low price, but just look at her photos and you'll be amazed! She's offering these low prices since she's just really starting to advertise her new business... so get in now before she becomes famous and you can't get an appointment! ;)

Universal Avatar! No more uploading!

If you're like me, you might get tired of having to upload a new pic (or the same pic 100 times) each time you register for a new site that uses avatars. Well, Kristen - editor at ExemplifyOnline.com - told me about this awesome site today: Gravatar.com

At Gravatar, you can upload a picture (or more) and associate them with your email accounts. So, for every site that you enter a particular email account to register, that picture will automatically be your default profile pic! You can have multiple pictures and multiple emails linked together under your one Gravatar account.

And of course, since I'm posting it here, you know it's FREE!! ;) Check it out - I'm lovin' it!

Feeling Smug

Thanks to my niece, who asked me to help work on her website, I have discovered Smugmug!

It's a photo hosting/sharing site, and is SO user friendly and has some great added features (for example, having galleries that can be public, private, or both; sharing with other Smuggers, ordering prints, and so much more!).

I've used several other sites to store my personal photos, but I like this one best. After my computer crash a few weeks ago, I sure wish that I'd found Smugmug sooner! I have photos on MySpace and Facebook, as well as some at another photo hosting site (which I really. don't. like. but didn't know any better when I first found it!).

I am definitely moving ALL my photos to Smugmug to keep them safe, just in case I have another crash! :(
