Everyone needs a calendar -- Why not THIS one?

I am so excited to say the 2010 calendar, "Enchanted Moments" is available for purchase.
20% of net sales will be donated to help fund teacher projects at DonorsChoose.org.
If the calendar sells and is received well, going to make this an annual PR/Fundraiser event with special fundraiser calendar theme portrait sessions (at terrific rates), an online photo contest to select 3 of the images going into the 2011 calendar, then lots of extras for everyone who is involved in the 2011 calendar project.
I have only 30 days to sell 250 of the 300 calendars (once they are gone, the 2010 calendar project is officially over).*
Click on the Facebook link icon (right side of blog) to view an album holding all the calendar pages.
If you like what you see, please spread the word and show your support for the project (and DonorsChoose.org) by purchasing a calendar yourself!
Thank you so much for your support and for all the kind comments and encouragement throughout the process of making what is, for me, a dream come true. My own photography calendar!!!
To purchase your copy, simply send an email to ariesproductions@provide.net, telling me how many copies you want to purchase.
I'll then send you an invoice (by email).
You then call to confirm your order and arrange payment (Visa, MC, Discover, Paypal, and money orders accepted. Personal checks okay if an established client).
I hope you enjoy viewing the calendar as much as the crew and I enjoyed creating it.
Have a good one!

* The remaining 50 calendars will either be, 1) sold (25) locally with 100% of gross sales going to help raise funds for Lapeer County's "Adopt a Family" program or 2) sent out (25) as holiday gifts for local businesses.
Who's Shooting YOUR Competition Headshots?!
Now booking individual and group headshot sessions…
Schools/agencies: Put a group of 10 or more together and we'll come to you! Ask about our $95 group/agency headshot special and I'll send you an info packet with everything you need to get your group signed up and ready to go at a price parents will love (almost half our normal headshot session fee).
Don't belong to a school or agency and want the same terrific group shoot rate? Put a group of 4 or more friends together, come to the studio in Belleville for the shoot and I'll give everyone in the group the same discounted ($95) session fee (plus stylist/assistant fee). Put a group of 6 together and YOUR session is free! (just pay the stylist/assistant fee).
PS Subscribe to the blog and mention that you subscribed in the subject line of an email to me at ariesproductions@provide.net and I'll give you an additional $20 off your next session fee whether you come as an individual OR as part of a group.
*Offer expires December 31, 2009.
Looking forward to working with you to create YOUR next award-winning competition headshot!
Welcome to my new blog!
Well Hello!
Welcome to my new blog. I am hoping over time to develop this into a valuable resource for those of you hoping to launch or expand your career in the modeling/talent industry. Check back often (at least weekly) to find updated materials for kids, models, actors, dancers, coaches, and more!
Check the articles often for specific industry topics and resources. The posts are for keeping up with the day-to-day stuff -- announcements (like auditions/jobs/competitions won, new products/services/photo specials, etc.), special dates and events to consider marking on your calendar, and lots and lots of photos...of course!
Please feel free to ask questions and post comments. I do moderate the blog and will remove anything that is inappropriate for younger bloggers, as well as posts that are mean-spirited or unprofessional. It doesn't mean you can't engage in a spirited conversation on this blog; just no personal attacks and bear in mind that I do network and work with children and their parents so be considerate and mindful when posting.
Looking forward to creating a valuable, lively resource that you will want to visit often (Be sure to subscribe if you want to get regular updates automatically).
Have a good one!

KID BIZ: Check out this web site...
An online resource for parents who want to know the ins and outs of kids working in the talent industry, Children in Film is a membership site with lots of valuable free info worth checking out, including:
- Laws and policies regarding child talent (Coogan’s Law, Union Rules, Safety Guidelines, etc.).
- Education on the set
- An excellent questionnaire to help parents consider whether their child is marketable.
- Sample child/baby resumes & cover letter.
- Handling your child’s money and other tips for responsible parenting.
- Listings by state for industry professionals (agents, casting people, coaches, etc.).
- Member networking and much, much more!
I recommend you have a look around using their free membership, then upgrade if you want full use of the site. Professional design. Easy to navigate and full of information parents of industry kids can make use of.
Worth the trip even if you just take advantage of all the free info on the site.
Enjoy!
PS Don’t forget to report back with your impressions of the site. If you like what you see, be sure to mention the site to others who might find the information helpful.
Also, post other sites you think people in the industry might want to visit. I’ll check them out and if I agree, I’ll add a link so the best sites are only a click away!
