Michelle East Studio Germantown Photographer Update

Hi All! Hope everyone is having a fun December! Seems like we are always so busy this time of year with parties, shopping and wrapping!

Our studio has been busy getting all the orders out to everyone and even doing some sessions

this month!

Just to update, our studio will be closed from Dec. 20 until Monday Jan 5th!

If you have orders to pick up, please call and someone will meet you at the studio

to give you your order! Email and phone calls will be returned within 2-3 business

days.

I have been working on some new paintings - see my website! Beautiful ballerinas have been my muse this fall! I just love the delicate yet strong look these dancers have! I may do more paintings of ballerinas soon!

2009 will introduce some new items for the studio and we will be discontinuing

others. I am excited about the changes! Details will follow in a post first of the year!

We are also thinking about sub leasing some of the space in our studio. It would be ideal

for a manufactures rep. or someone who needs a small space outside of their home. Non-retail.

For more information, please call me! The space has wall to wall bookcases, a storage room and a bathroom. It will include utilities and wireless internet.

Studio Update Michelle East Photography

Well it has been a busy season thus far and I want to give everyone an update.

We are booked up for the rest of the year - exceptions newborn and maternity.

Now booking for January 2009!

We will be closed for a few weeks to allow us all to spend time with our families.

Dec. 21st thru January 2nd.

Look at all of these wonderful children!

Studio Dates

Just a reminder that the season is upon us! If you wish to use
any pictures for holiday gift giving, please place your orders
before Nov. 22nd. If you place your portrait order after Nov. 22nd.
the order will be available in January to be picked up.

All of my work is custom and takes time to produce. Thank you for
your understanding and patience!

As for Sessions for November, I am almost done booking for the month.
I have a few openings for the week of Nov. 10th. Once these slots are gone,
I will only be working with maternity and newborn clients for the rest of the
year. Regular sessions will open up again in January of 2009.


The Studio will be closed December 21-Jan 2. All portrait orders that are not picked up by Dec. 20th will be available Jan 5, 2009.

Thank you!

Glimpses of Santa

Aren't these adorable! If you would like to add a few Glimpses of Santa pictures to your Gold or Platinum Studio session please let me know. A parent will put on the Santa suit and I will not photograph Santa's face- only parts of Santa!

Studio Dates and Reminders

Hi Everyone!
Just a note to update on the fall schedule.

If you order after the cut off date, you can plan on your order coming in January 2009.

My new website will be launched soon! Keep an eye out for all new pictures! Your child may be featured!

Once this new site is launched, there will be some policy changes and price changes as well.

Ballerinas: Michelle East Photography Memphis Children Photgrapher

There have been tutus, tiaras and tights galore as we had our first ballerina sessions last month!

This event was a huge success! We had so many canned food donations to the local food bank - a special thank you to everyone who brought something in!

The dresses from Strasburg were so beautiful! A special thank you to Strasburg Children in Germantown at Saddle Creek! Congrats to our winners!

Other door prizes were from Homemade Gourmet - Alicia Henager, Cordova Dance, and Tastefully Simple - Ginger Armistead! Thank you!

The little girls LOVED the set and the costumes! I have heard nothing but praise from all our little ballerinas! I am so pleased that they were able to be there.
