We really and truly are thankful for each of our clients. We come away from every photo session, every client meeting, and every wedding feeling like we’ve made new friends. You have supported us, encouraged us, and entrusted us with some of the most important moments of your lives.
We want to thank you, our loyal clients. We recently added a new product to our line. It’s a session album. It’s a 4×4 book (with your choice of a supple leather or hardcover linen cover). The book has 15 spreads (30 pages) with each page highlighting and image from your portrait session.
The book is small enough to easily fit into your purse, diaper bag, or sit on an end table to share with your family and friends.
As a thank you to all of our returning clients
If you book your portrait session by July 1st you will be given a session album as our thank you gift to you!!(that’s a $250 value!!)

Oh my goodness, where has the time gone??? I thought it was still summer, and all of a sudden fall snuck up on us yesterday, and with fall comes the downhill slope to the holidays! (is it normal that my blood pressure elevates with just the thought of that??)
I was just looking at our calendar, and I can’t believe it, we only have a handful of dates left for family photo sessions! Only 4 dates in October available, and only 6 dates in November!!!
If you’ve been wanting to get your family photos taken for this year’s Christmas cards don’t delay, contact us now to book your session!
**Note to self, book OUR family photos so we can send out our own cards!!!**
I already have time ideas brewing in my head about what I want on our card this year………… better get on that! I’m thinking for our card possibly having a grid of squares with a photo of each of us in each square, and then maybe a family pic in there as well………….. we shall see!
And a little photo inspiration from some recent sessions.
We are SUPER excited to announce Gift Registry! What does Gift Registry have to do with photography you ask?
The registry allows you to set up a bridal or baby registry (or any other registry you can think up) . You then can invite your loved ones to come to our website and add to your account.
Your registry will be added to our shopping cart. For someone wanting to add to your account they can go to the store section, select your registry, and purchase the dollar amount they’d like to add towards your account.
Your registry can be used to upgrade your wedding package**, or any other services that Jen Stewart Photography offers, including photo sessions, print orders, albums, cards and more!!
Feel free to let your family and guests know that they can give a gift towards your wedding/baby/other photography services. We will also provide cards, available by request, to include in your invitations or to pass to family if you would like to let your guests know about the registry.
And if you have a wedding website, be sure to add a link to it.
Contact us today if you’d like to set up your own registry account!
We have VERY exciting news for all of our clients, your shopping experience just got a LOT more simple!!!! We have been working non stop for the last week on our new shopping cart program. We’ve listened to all of our clients feedback with their past shopping experiences and I think we’ve found a solution that goes above and beyond expectations!
Introducing our new shopping cart!!!
You can poke around and check everything out for yourself by going to http://www.JenStewartPhotographyClients.com/RedCart or you can go to our website, and there is now a link there called “Shopping Cart” for quick easy access to the cart!
And what is a new announcement without a special deal offered?!?!?! To kick things off we would like to offer any of our past clients, the option to try the cart out for yourself, help us kick the tires, and order some of those photos you’ve been meaning to order from your previous session with Jen Stewart Photography.
If you had a photo session prior to August 1st 2008, contact us in the next week (by Wednesday August 21st) we will upload your photo session and you will get a 20% discount on any orders placed during the 2 weeks your gallery is online!!!
Below I’ve written out step by step the ordering process for a reference to anyone who may want a step by step walk through.
Your shopping experience should be much easier now. The system walks you through the process step by step and is very intuitive. As you can see in the home screen above, you now have an image next to each gallery making it easier to find the gallery you are looking for. Once you select the gallery you are looking for you click on the photo to enter the gallery. You will be prompted to enter your email address. This is so your favorites, any orders in process, and “my album” choices will be saved and you can come back to them at a later date. You will also receive one reminder email prior to the gallery expiring, but don’t worry we will NOT spam you. We HATE HATE HATE spam and promise never to send useless emails to our clients!
1) Once you enter your email address you are taken to “The Light Table”. This is your individual gallery’s home screen showing thumbnails of each image in the gallery. Click on any image to see a larger view.
2) Once you click on a thumbnail image this is the screen you will see. From this screen you can do many things. You can click on your image and drag it to one of the 2 compare boxes down on the lower right of the screen (where the YELLOW ARROW is). Once you have 2 images in the compare boxes if you click on the word “compare” above the boxes it will toggle you between the 2 photos. The RED ARROWS show where you can click to go back to your “Light Table” to view all the thumbnails. If you would prefer to just scroll through the photos in this larger view as you are viewing now, the boxes in the upper right corner are your “previous” and “next” images, just click on either image to move forward or backwards.
3) From the single image view you can add photos to your “My Cart”, “My Album” (which I will explain in a moment), and “My Favorites”. The RED ARROWS on the photo below show you the 2 locations on the screen where you can add your photo to these areas. The top arrow points to our drag and drop feature. You can click on your photo and drag it to any of the 3 options (my cart, my album, my favorites). As you can see in the photo below there is a small red circle with an “x” on the image as you drag it, the “x” will disappear once you have it in a place where you can “drop” the image. If the drag and drop function ends up being too confusing never fear, you can just click on one of the options to the right of the image (where the 2nd RED ARROW is pointing in the photo below) and the photo will be added to the option you chose. Once you put an image into one of these options, you will be taken to the appropriate “cart”, “album”, or “favorites” screen to proceed.
4) When you add a photo to your “cart” you will be taken to a new screen to make your order choices. As you can see in the photo below, the new system walks you through this process step by step. Next to each step are little information buttons with an “i” inside a circle (where the RED ARROW is pointing the photo below). Move your mouse over the button and a yellow information box will pop up with more information.
5) Once you make your paper selection, you then choose the print size. You now have the ability to see how the different sizes will crop on your photo. And YOU can choose where to place that crop!!! Once you have the crop the way you like it, select “proceed with crop” in the bottom right of your screen, a window will pop up showing you what your photo will look like with that crop. select “confirm crop”. You than can add any special notes you may have for that image. For instance, small blemishes removed that are included in your session fee (please call if you have any questions on this) or any other notes you’d like us to know specific to that image. You can choose to re-crop the photo, or add blemish removal, if you have more intensive touch ups you’d like made. If you have no special requests for the image, or you are done entering these, you can then click “add to cart” on the bottom right of the screen.
6) For our specialty items you can go to the “Store” to place your order. In the store you can pay your session fee, purchase your album, and purchase custom designed, press print cards.
7) When purchasing the custom designed, press print cards you now can choose a selection of photos as a suggestion of what to use on the card design. You can do this by adding your photo choices to the “My Album” section of the cart. Once you have made your photo selections you can submit those and then proceed to your cart for checkout.
8 ) The photo below shows you the checkout screen. This is where you can look over your order and make any corrections before finalizing your order. If you see any errors in your shopping cart, you can drag that item to the box that the yellow arrow is pointing to in the photo below to remove it from your cart. If you were given a promo code from a sale, or product credit enter it by clicking where you see the RED ARROW in the photo below. Once you have looked over your order and made sure everything is correct click “Check Out” on the bottom right of your screen (where the GREEN ARROW is in the photo below).
9) On the next screen you can enter your billing/shipping information. The RED ARROW below shows your options of either picking up your order, or having it shipped to you. **Please note, there is a $10 shipping charge if you choose to have your order shipped** Once all your information is entered you can click on “continue” on the bottom right of your screen, where the YELLOW ARROW is pointing in the photo below, to continue with your order.
10) This is the final step in the process. Look over you order one last time confirm you have everything correct, and select how you’d like to pay. The RED ARROW on the photo below shows you where you can make this choice. **Please note, if you are choosing to order via paypal you will be taken to paypal’s website to complete payment on your order.** Once you have confirmed your order click on “Submit Order” to complete your order. The YELLOW ARROW is pointing to this selection in the photo below.
11) Congratulation when you have completed your order correctly you will see the screen below!
