I obviously am not a consistent blogger. I always have good intentions. The longer I wait to post a new blog, the harder it is to write one. I have been listening though to the clients that enjoy reading the posts so I will try to keep up a bit better.
We have been busy here at the studio with wildflower sessions. We also have added some new assistants here at the studio to help with the summer schedule. Jenna our newest assistant will be a junior in High School this fall. I have been photographing her since she was a baby. Harrison, my son who will be going off to college this fall is also one of the lucky early morning assistants as well as Grace, my youngest.
If you haven’t been in in a while, (we know some of you are “Portrait Procrastinators”) you would know that Maca is expecting a baby. We are very excited to know that we will have a baby to hold and put to work as a “Wancket Studio Model” very soon. I will try update her “condition”.
I hope you are all having a great summer! Audrey
Ok-so the left side of my brain wrote the original and the right brain took over. If I could ever get all of my-selves to agree on something…
Seriously though, We are inundated by the media with scared projections on the future of the economy. I hope that portraits of your growing and changing families are not an item to be postponed. Life moves on quickly and cannot be backed up to recapture important stages in your families lives. Expensive dinners when done and paid for - what do you have? Portraits bring a lifetime of enjoyment! No Regrets! Audrey
Our baby chicks are almost ready to hatch. We are gearing up for a week of what we call barely organized chaos. Every year clients come from all over to have their children photographed with the baby chicks. If anyone is still interested we have three sessions still available including on Saturday Session.
Gia’s salon in Spring Grove is having a mother daughter makeover contest. Call or contact them to get an application to apply. It is fun reading the essays on why applicants should be chosen to have themselves reworked… This is available for any age or combination of females. Personally, my daughter thinks I need a makeover. (She is 13 and thinks I have little to no fashion sense-sound familiar?) The winners of the essays will be photographed at the salon for the before image, have a make-over with hair and makeup, then they will come to the studio for the after image. We will display these before and afters at the salon and let the public vote on the one with the greatest change. That winner will win the prizes. (16 x 20 Portrait from us and great “stuff” from the salon).
Wancket Studios is looking for Class of 2009 Ambassadors to represent us. Applications are being taken now. Accepted juniors will have a free modeling session created now to show off to their friends and your summer senior session fee at 50% off. The more friends you send to us, the more credits you get towards your portraits. The modeling session is a blast! You will be the first of your class to experience our creative portraits and new sets. You will be the trendsetters in senior portraits! Contact us now to be a part of our studio ambassadors! 847-587-3350
To be an ambassador you must be a junior in high school at this time. Being involved in school activities and influential with your peers are qualities that make an ambassador successful. Call us for more details or to receive the application. Click here to visit the senior website
What a beautiful night to see the eclipse. It was a bit cold for standing outside taking pictures, but definitely worth it!
I am excited to send out our next newsletter. It is at the printer so hopefully we will have them to mail end of next week. This winter/spring edition will outline our Referral Contest with great incentives to send us your friends and relatives. The Studio insight section is all about our “Creative Study” sessions. These play sessions are done to allow me to experiment with everything from new backgrounds and settings to lighting and poses. Clients that are interested in becoming a Wancket Studio “Muse” can contact me. When we are looking to get creative we can give you a call. My Children will thank you as they are extremely tired of modeling for Mom…
As far as what is going on right now-we are scheduling sessions with our baby chicks starting March 21st. Remember this is only available for a few days.
Have a great weekend! Audrey

How do our mail carriers do that? It is a good thing that winter snow is so beautiful… This winter has been a challenge with constant winter storms and frigid temperatures. I think we have a record for rescheduled appointments this winter. We are happy to reschedule appointments due to bad weather and driving conditions. I would not want to travel if it is bad, nor do I wish for my staff to attempt the trip in to work. Just let us know..On the other hand we have a great sledding hill behind the studio-Ha.
Thank you to all our clients that have made 2007 a great year. I am always amazed that as busy and last minute that many of our orders are placed, my elves (Maca, Miranda, Amber and the lab) still can make sure all of your Holiday portraits and cards are done on time. Thank you to them as well.
May you all have a magical holiday. Once again, thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Sincerely,
Audrey Wancket,
The Wancket Family and the Wancket Studio Staff
Riley, Harrison and Grace Wancket with Montana
