Only a few spots left!

Friday, March 13, 2009


As most of you know, I'm probably the Retro Suite's most enthusiastic fan. I grew up in Chatham, but didn't get to experience the newly renovated Retro Suites Hotel until this past summer. I shot a wedding there for a close friend, and loved the Study room. I moved back into Sarnia and put it out of my mind. When I was attending a dinner for the Southwestern Ontario Wedding Photographers, hosted by John Lyons, and I fell in love.

I have been booking and holding "Diva Days" at the Retro Suites ever since. I have shot in the Chantilly Lace, King William, Urban Studio, Nantucket, and Chrome-e-Delic rooms. My favourite is the Urban Studio.

Although I am a loyal client of the Suites, I do have Sarnia girls who aren't able to go to Chatham for shoots. Either they don't wish to travel, or they have a hard time sneaking off for several hours to do the shoot as a surprise for their spouse! Whatever the reason, I've had enough clients ask to shoot in Sarnia.

That said, I am now shooting my Sarnia shoots at the Village Inn here in Sarnia. Their hotel is beautiful, it's independantly owned and operated and I love the location.

We will be shooting in their KING room, the largest they have, and typically their honeymoon suite. It has a two person jacuzzi, a king sized bed, and a living room in the room as well. It's fabulous.

SO I am now booking one hour sessions on April 4th at:

10:30 - 11:30 - booked MB
11:45 - 12:45 - booked MB
1:00 - 2:00 - booked MB
2:15 - 3:15 - booked SM
3:30 - 4:30 - booked LM
4:45 - 5:45 - booked NL
6:00 - 7:00 -
7:15 - 8:15 - booked AJ
8:30 - 9:30 - booked TM

Spots are $250 and include an hour of shooting, your proof images in 4x6 prints, as well as a password protected gallery for you to order retouched images and/or albums if you so wish. You may also purchase digital negative files as well.

The cost includes the session fee, the use of the room, the use of my props, costumes and lingerie(panties not provided) and as I said, 4x6 prints of your images. I don't guarantee any number of images, it really depends on the person. Typically, there are 30-150 images.

I have an information letter that I send you once you've booked your spot, and I require a $100 retainer to hold your appointment. I take cash, cheques, and in the next couple weeks I'll be able to accept Visa and Mastercard as well.

If you'd like to book a spot, you can email me at paintedamber@gmail.com, call me at 519.491.7355 or go to my website and fill out the Contact page.
