BAG O’ LOVE; A charity event for pets in need

By Deborah Sussex | April 28, 2010

Bag O’ Love is back! Join us on Friday, May 14th, 2010. Your contributions will benefit Contented Critters Animal Shelter.

Two years ago I held my first “Bag O Love” charity event for pets. It was inspired by the desire to give in the spirit of my recently deceased dog named “Rascal”. Like most pet owners, I feel such gratitude and respect for the unconditional and profound love that comes from our pets. Isn’t it amazing that pets inspire us humans! My dog Rascal was certainly that way and now I have my new Border Collie named Molly and she too inspires me through her keen, puppy-love energy.

So if you feel inspired to give, join us on Friday, May 14th, 2010 at Deborah Sussex Photography portrait studio. Our goal is two fold. 1) To amass a HUGE PILE of dog/cat food to donate to Contented Critters Animal Shelter (last time we collected over ONE TON of food which was donated to the Mesabi Humane Society). 2) Provide each pet owner with fantastic and loving pet portraits of their pet…created by Deborah Sussex.

HERE ARE THE DETAILS: In exchange for a large bag O’ pet food, we will offer a FREE “mini” portrait session with your dog or cat, PLUS a low rez digital file of your favorite image from the session! Specially priced packages are available from this event with 10% of all sales being donated to Contented Critters animal shelter. We want to include as many eager donors as possible therefore, each mini session is 15 minutes long and limited to ONE pet per owner. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. We will provide a pet friendly and safe environment. However, we do ask that if your pet is unreliable around other animals or has any aggressive tendencies, please consider a pet portrait session alone at another date and feel free to contribute a bag of food at that time.

RESERVATIONS ARE MANDATORY and space is limited so CALL NOW; 218-365-3077.

Here are some images of the 2008 Bag O’ Love event. We had over 30 pet participants! Thats a Ton O’ Love!

Headshots Portrait Special through March!

By Deborah Sussex | March 12, 2010

Super opportunity available NOW until the end of March. I am having a SALE on “headshot portraits” which are regularly $175 but ON SALE for $125.

I bet you have been procrastinating on doing this OR maybe you wish your facebook profile image or website portrait was a heck of alot better than what you have. Let me help you out here folks! I love photographing people and helping them with their business, art or whatever pursuit you have that you want to promote. I’m telling you, it is painless process (actually I make ANY portrait session painless).

What do you get? You get to choose your favorite image from the session and I will happily put that small digital file on a CD. Which you then can turnaround and use to your hearts delight for marketing yourself! You ask, “why market myself”? Truth be told, it is found that the more your professional portraits STAND OUT (ie; well composed, well lit, strongly stated imagery) the more you will GET OTHER PEOPLE’S ATTENTION. You want folks to come to you for whatever it is you have to offer right!

Give me a call NOW because this great offer only goes through the end of March! 218-365-3077 Talk to you soon!

Her first 1/2 birthday

By Deborah Sussex | February 24, 2010

Jorden Borchert celebrated her six month birthday by coming into my studio for a portrait session. Actually her second one as part of her First Year series.

This is a little girl with lots of smiles and love! As always, it is an honor to photograph the wee ones as they are so precious and remarkable to us all! I had the honor of photographing Jorden’s parents Kelsey & Adam at their wedding celebration a few years ago here in Ely and they have always shown appreciation towards my work. Thanks guys! I know you are going to love all your images of Jorden now and through the years to come!

Father and Daughter

By Deborah Sussex | February 9, 2010

Welcome to the world little Mattie Lindsay!

I just love this image as it embraces the essence of love and how fitting for this Valen-tiny time of year! Mattie is the little sister of Molly, who you might remember seeing on my blog, as she partook in my First Year Portrait plan and had 3 sessions during her first year.

This is Mattie’s first of her three sessions in her first, exciting year of life. Mattie was only 3 weeks old! What a little sweetpea. I just love photographing these little munchkins AND in particular, capturing the love relationship they have with the parent(s).

If you are interested in the First Year Portrait plan or any other portrait sessions, they are all 50% OFF NOW through Valentines Day! See the blog post below that talks about my Gift Certificate Sale! It is such a great opportunity to save some money!

Mattie Tallula Lindsay; 3 weeks old.
