Senior Portraits at Bentley's

50% Off Sale Extended

Wow!  We had a huge response to our sale but we also had a problem or two.  This year our catalogs went out later than normal and some people have just started getting them, sometimes bulk mail takes a little longer in some areas to arrive.  Yesterday was the deadline and we were very busy with appointments and answering the phone till late into the evening.  So we are extending the 50% off sale.  I have ordered postcards to let everyone know, but you always find out here first.  The postcards should go out next week but you don't have to wait, well you do have to wait till Tuesday because of Memorial Day weekend.  Or if you want to you can leave a message and we will call you back Tuesday.

This is the deal: Call anytime between now and June 17th and we will give you 50% off your session fees if you book two or more sessions.  The sessions can be done anytime in June or July, except on Saturdays.  Don't put this off because you only have about 9 weeks of summer left.

What are the sessions?  You can see examples on our website along with the session fees listed.  Look at the Bentley Photography site or our dedicated senior site Bentley Seniors.net and you can find all you need to know.  You can also look over the blog and see tips on what to bring, do and wear for your sessions.

Also, our second Senior Safari has almost sold out in just a couple days!  We only have one space left if you are interested.  We will spend an entire day traveling and doing portraits all over North Georgia!  Lunch, snacks, transportation, new friends and some of the greatest and most unique senior portraits of the summer!  Want something different?  This is for you.  The session fee for this is $125 and is not discounted due to the cost and limited nature of this session or should I say event!

How Much?!

We always get calls about price this time of year, on the web page I did a section on How Much under the info tab, and every year we hear that our prices are about the same as the schools photographer.  Many people are surprised when they find this out because for some reason they think we are really expensive, must be thinking about the cars.  Actually we pride ourselves in high quality and an unforgettable experience with top notch customer service at an affordable price. Just this morning we got another one of those calls telling us that our packages were a good bit less than the school photographer, maybe I should go up.  :)

Hopefully someday I will find out that I am related to the Bentley car people and inherit some of their money so I can retire, but in the mean time I will just keep driving my 14 year old Suburban.  But for now just remember that you can own a Bentley senior portrait for about the same amount of money as the school photographers.  Our customers aren't forced to come to us.  And we are proud that they choose to come to us for what we think are some of the best senior portraits around at any price.

Graduation time is here!  In honor of graduation we are offering special Cap and Gown sessions Friday afternoon, May 20, 2011.  We will have very special prices on packages and no session fees, just call and let us know when you want to come.  We will offer the same packages we had for prom which start at only $20!  All we ask is that you call to make an appointment, the session won't last five minutes and you will be on your way.  770-867-2853

Now Booking: Senior Safari II

You saw the images from our first Senior Safari a few weeks ago are you ready for our second Senior Safari!  We are opening this one up to anyone but we only have four spaces left.  On our first safari we went south, this time we are going north.  We will leave Winder at 8:30 on Monday, June 13 and get back early evening.  You will be photographed in three different locations and snacks and lunch will be provided.  When you book your session we will let you know what all you will need to bring and we will also send you some important paperwork that you will need to return before the day of the session.  So to recap: all day session in three different locations, lunch, snacks, transportation and lots of fun!  If you are interested call the studio right away and get all of the details - 770-867-2853.  Session fee is $125 per person (no discounts apply to this session) or if you book with a friend you can each pay only $100.  Remember we can only take six people on this safari and we already have two booked so time is of the essence.

 

If you know any of the people you see in these shots from our last safari just ask them how much fun the safari was, or you can just look at their expressions and see for yourself!

 

What's This Thing I Got In The Mail?

Nicole, North Oconee High

Tuesday we finally got our senior catalogs mailed and the phone has started ringing off the hook since they went out.  Just who the heck are we is what some of you are probably asking.  I hope you can find an answer here on the blog, or on our web page.  As you read in the catalog we are not the school's photographer. What does that mean to you?  When you come to Bentley Photography you are coming by choice and we appreciate that and devote all of our time and resources to you and only you.  We want you to have great portraits that you and your family can be proud of and we want you to have fun while having them made!  You have been in school for 12 years getting school pictures done every year and you are about to graduate and leave home.  Don't you think it is time to have something special to remember this time in your life?  Parents don't you want great portraits of your child before they leave home next year?

The special you see in the letter included in the catalog is for 75% off any two or more sessions in May or June as long as you call and schedule the sessions before May 26th.  If you need to have it taken in July you can still save 50% as long as you call by May 26th.  Your summer is just over 8 weeks long!  This doesn't leave much time to get things done before school starts back! 

Be sure and read over some of the other post on the blog and look at what seniors and parents have said about Bentley Photography on our web page.  Think about how you want to look back and remember your senior year - with a picture in your mirror with your cell phone or a portrait from Bentley's. 

Big News For Class of 2012

In the spirit of the internet, faster is better, we are announcing our biggest sale ever on senior portraits here first.  This year we are doing something that we have never done in our 21 years in Winder and if you act fast you can reap the rewards.  From now till May 26th you can book any two or more of our senior sessions for anytime in May or June and save 75% off your session fees!  If you can't come in May or June you can still save 50% if you call before May 26th.  What are the sessions and how much are they?  You can find them on our senior website here, once on the site click Session Choices at the top and you will see what all is available and how much each one is. 

Why are we offering such a discount?  It seems like every year everyone waits and doesn't act fast enough and all of the session times get booked or football and cheerleading practice starts.  Once that happens we are almost out of time before school starts back and we don't want you to be left out. 

So what should I expect a senior session at Bentley Photography to be like?  What we hear most from past seniors is best said in a single word - fun.  We always hear how much fun everyone has and how relaxed they felt.  Another thing that we hear is how they felt like models.  For the guys we almost always hear "that was pretty fun" and "I wouldn't mind doing that again".  Our philosophy is that if you don't have fun you won't look good so we are all about keeping you relaxed and focusing all of our attention on you.  If you want to have fun and get the best senior portraits anywhere there is only one place to go, Bentley Photography!

 

Safari Video

 

It took a while to finish, lots of things have been going on around the studio to get ready for senior season, but it is finally finished.  This is a video from our senior safari that we had a few weeks ago.  You saw some of the images earlier but I think you will get a better feel for the trip in this.

On a side note, senior catalogs will be mailed Monday!  Inside there will be a letter telling about our huge sale we are having if you act early and call the studio before the end of May.  To get in on the super special deals you just have to call and schedule your appointment before May 24th at 5PM.  What is the special?  Check back tomorrow and I will tell you all about it.
