Update
Hello to everyone. It’s been some time since our last
newsletter. By the feedback I’ve been
getting, many of you miss the newsletter, so we’ve put together what I think is
our best newsletter ever, just one this year, but our promotion this time is
the best.
Over
the past year, I’ve been busy working and running this business as well. My wife, Mercy, has been busy raising the
children. Speaking of children, some of
you may not yet know that we have expanded our family once again. In March 2006, we welcomed Jaiden into our
home. We were to be her foster parents
for 6-12 months. She was a cute little
18-month old who had to be removed from her home for various reasons. She needed a place to stay and we were more
than happy to provide it. All our other
children were excited and happy to have her.
A few months afterwards, both her teenage parents felt it was best to
relinquish their parental rights. At
that time, she became available for adoption.
Well, we couldn’t say no to God’s precious gift and now she is child
number six, Jaiden Rae Campos. She is
now almost 3 years old and has blended in just fine. We all love her and she loves everybody.

Super Summer Sale
50% off*
With the addition of our new child, we have quickly
outgrown our current home, so we will be moving again soon. Therefore, in an effort to raise funds, we
thought we would give our best clients the best photography at
the best prices ever.
From now through August 31, 2007, we are offering
50% off everything in our portrait line of photography (*except sessions fees
and frames). If you have been waiting
for the perfect time to take a family portrait or portraits of your children,
now is the time. If you are newly
engaged, we can take care of your engagement or bridal photography. Just pay our regular session fees and you
will be entitled to 50% off all Portrait Units, Proofs, CD Slideshows, Wallets,
Wall Portraits, Canvas Portraits, and Brush Stroke Portraits. Mounting and split units are also 50%
off.

In addition, if we’ve every photographed a wedding
for your or someone you know and you would like to get reprints from those wedding
images, those are also 50% off! All you
need to do is order a minimum of $75 worth of reprints and we’ll do the rest.
Also, if you would like reprints from portrait
sessions in the past, the same sale applies.
Just order a minimum of $75 in reprints and it will all be 50% off.

everything we offer complete with the current price and the new 50% off sale

A New Business
Venture
Hi friends and family,
Happy Summer everyone. I hope you have
a safe and happy summer. I am very excited to announce the start of a new
business for me. Beginning in August,
we will have 5 of our children going to school fulltime. Yeah!!!
The reason I am so excited is because I am now able to work part-time in
my new business. My new business is
called “Organizing six”. With six
children in our home and as our family has grown, I have become an excellent
organizer. I am excited to be able to
assist other families with what I have learned in organizing their homes.
The idea is that I can help
organize all areas of the home, even your business office. Some rooms to consider might be: the
kitchen, the bathrooms, closets, playrooms, home offices, pantries, mudrooms,
home school classrooms, scrap booking area, garages, bedrooms, your car, RV,
etc. Some may need only a 1-hour
consultation, some may need more help in following thru with the plan we
set.
Having such a large family, I have
had to organize our home on a tight budget.
I will do my best to work with what you already have and spend as little
as possible. Please see this as an investment in your family. When you have an organized home, you will
have more time to spend with your family. I promise you this to be true.
I will be available Monday thru
Friday between 9 am and 2 pm in the fall when the kids return to school. If you would like to begin sooner than
later, please call me and we will arrange it for you.
I am so excited to hear from you,
please do not hesitate to call me at 210-413-9606 with any
questions you may have about my fees or a project you are interested in. As my
way of saying thank you for your business, I would like to offer a FREE
30-minute consultation to the first 10 people who call me.
Your very excited Professional
organizer,
Mercy Campos
