Hi, it's been a really long time since we have posted on our blog. We have just been super busy. I know that is no excuse, but there it is!

Find us on Facebook now. You can be "friends" with Diane Dultmeier. And we would love it if you would become a fan of Dultmeier Portrait Gallery. Our fans will be the first to find out about what we are up to and any special promotions we might have.

This holiday season Dultmeier Photography has adopted two foster families (involving four very small children) for Christmas. There are 3 two year olds and one nine month old who won’t be spending Christmas with their mommies and daddies this year. We want to do our part to make the spirit of Christmas come alive for these four children. Would you help us?

After speaking with the two foster moms, we became aware of just how needy these little ones are.  For instance, some arrived just two weeks ago with no shoes and very few clothes!  We plan to shop for the children this weekend and want to focus on toys to put under the Christmas tree, but the kids also need PJ's, slippers, and clothing.

Do you have gently worn clothing and/or toys that you would like to donate to these children?  If so, please drop them off to us at the gallery, or call us at (772) 223-0451 for more information.

Clothing needs: 

Two-year-old girl, size 2T

Two-year-old boy, size 2T

9-month-old boy, size 2T (yes, 2T) – also needs shoes

Two-year-old boy, size 3T – also shoe size 5

In advance, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts and wish you all the happiest holiday season.

Thank you to all our clients who purchased holiday cards this year! We have devoted a portion of card sales to purchase items for the kids, totaling about $800.

 

First, we want to thank all of you who recently came out for our Holiday Open House here in our Gallery, which was really fun and successful. We were able to catch up with some new and old friends over delicous finger foods and drinks. It was so fun for us to hear what everyone has been up to, and we offered a really great special, which everyone was thoroughly pleased about.

We love working here at Dultmeier Photography because we get to gear up for the holiday season pretty early. In doing so, we get to see all of the great portrait sessions that Diane shoots and the finished products: gifts for the whole family! Whether it's a beautiful canvas for your mother, or some small prints for your kids in college, everyone is thrilled with their special images. It's a really exciting process and seeing the smiles once people receive their portraits warms our hearts each and every time.

We hope that everyone is preparing for the holidays, and if you are, please keep in mind that we are offering some really fun new cards this year. So make your appointment to come in and check them out!

We still have some time slots available for our two Saturdays in November which Diane is offering in order to accomodate all of our clients without an additional upgrade fee. Those days are November 22nd as well as November 29th. If that interests you, please call soon because these times won't last long!

We are having a lot of fun doing senior sessions! We have started doing some great images in "secret" locations around downtown Stuart. The seniors and parents are loving the images and Diane is having a lot of fun being creative with it. We are going to be offering special albums for seniors, along with graduation announcements and storyboards. Give us a call and ask about the Wednesday morning senior special!

It's never too soon to start thinking about your Senior Portraits. Summer is a great time to do them too. And, Diane is now offering a great new multi location Senior Portrait Session. Your session will start in downtown Stuart, then to Indian Riverside Park and lastly here in our Studio. The whole session lasts about 2 hours and you can bring up to seven different outfits so you'll get a great variety of looks!!! The session is $250 but if you bring a friend who wants to do their portrait on the same day as you, you'll each pay $125. AND if you book your session before June 30, you'll receive 8 wallets for free!!! You could also qualify to receive a free Facebook or MySpace image. We book fast so contact us at 772-223-0451 to schedule your session now. We are currently doing test sessions so make sure to check back soon to check out some of our latest Senior images.
