I’m sure you’ve seen our notifications about our 20% off Halfway to the Holidays Sale by now. And like the song, you’ve “made your list, checked it twice,” when deciding which gift certificates you’re buying.

Triple check it! I’m serious—photography gift certificates are a great gift! The gift of beautiful photographs says a lot to a person: “You’re beautiful and should have more professional photos taken.” “You deserve an afternoon to capture how sweet your family is.” Or my favorite, a line borrowed from Parks and Recreation, “Treat Yo-self!”

If you've bought gift certificates from us before, you're familiar with how to buy. For a quick refresher, here's the deal:

• This sale is ONE DAY ONLY! ONLY online or in-store on Monday, June 25, 2018.
• The sale applies to any session type or ANY gift card amount. They can be applied for future sessions and have NO expiration date!
• And, there's no limit to the amount you can buy. 
• If your checkout amount is $800 or more (after discount, before taxes), you will receive a FREE Mini Session gift card. This will be emailed to you automatically with your order, no need to use a special code or add it to your cart. This offer is available online or in-store.

Here's how you can purchase the gift cards:

1. Buy gift cards online: from 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. on Monday, June 25, 2018. At checkout, use coupon code BELLAMI (all capital letters).

With two easy ways to purchase, you have a good excuse to get great gifts. Check out my recommendations for finishing your shopping early below, as well as an easy way to get get your FREE mini session!

• Your Fall Outdoor mini would only be $128 if you buy the Mini Session Gift Certificate during our sale.
• Your In-Studio Mini Holiday Session would also only be $128 if you buy the Mini Session Gift Certificate during our sale.

Find five other people who want to get this future mother a wonderful present. For $40 from each of the six of you, you can get this friend a newborn session! Usually $300, the session is $240 during this one-day only sale. This deal is a perfect gift for anyone you know who is expecting a new family member!

If both sets of grandparents pitch in, your child’s mentor and you and your spouse pitch in, it’s only $45 each for your Senior to get a one-hour indoor session! The sale price is $180 for a one-hour indoor session, so dividing the cost by four givers makes this gift super affordable. If your Senior would prefer an outdoor session, it’s $50 from each of the four givers. The best deal would be two hours, one indoor and one outdoor, for $80 from each of the four givers.

In-Studio, one-hour session (same price as the In-Studio, one-hour Family Session)

Outdoor, one-hour session (same price as the Outdoor, one-hour Family Session)

In-Studio, one-hour session AND Outdoor, one-hour session

For $128, get them a 30 minute session for your parents to focus on each other! Since many wedding anniversaries are in the summer, you will be all set with the perfect gift! If you get one sibling to pitch in, it’s only $64 from each of you! If there’s four of you, that’s only $32 each!

Hold on to this gift until Sunday, September 9, which is Grandparents Day. We recommend a 30 minute session, only $128 during our sale.

Do you have headshots of each team member? Do you have group photos of each team (sales, customer support, etc)? Do you have a group photo of the executives? These photos can also be shared on social media for “Employee of the Month” profiles.

Invite your office to pitch in to get your boss something very helpful! If nine people pitch in, an in-studio, one-hour session to get your team photographed is $20 each during the Halfway to the Holidays Sale. Boss’s Day is Tuesday, October 16.

For our sale, if you spend $800 or more, you get a FREE mini session ($160 value), which you can keep for yourself or give as a gift. Here’s the thing YOU don’t have to spend the whole $800--as I shared above, get friends and family to pitch in to give the gift of beautiful photography.
