4th of July Portraits

Olathe Photographer — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 20:48:29 +0000

We’ve been having some fun with 4th of July portraits lately. And that just makes sense. Here is a portrait of a veteran of the United States Navy. Though he retired a couple years back it’s still a very big part of who he is.

And here are a couple of fun portraits of children celebrating the 4th of July.

Remember, this Saturday between 11:30 and 2:00 pm we are serving free hot dogs and chips to anyone that wants to stop by the studio to say “hello” and to look around. Past and future clients and friends are always welcome. Also, we’ll have a special sale on gift certificates you’ll want to know about good on that day only! (And Angel Babies will be joining us and they’ll be having a big sale, too!)

Celebrate your freedom.

Monarch Watch Open House

Olathe Photographer — Fri, 07 May 2010 12:53:05 +0000

As many of you know we occasionally like to post fun things to do around Kansas City here at Portraits Today Studios.com. Kids will love going to the Monarch Watch Open House on the West Campus of the University of Kansas.

As for Chris and his family, owners of our studios, they have helped by building a Monarch Weigh Station. Go check it out. You can have fun, beautify your yard, help save the Monarch Butterfly and keep the kids fascinated all at the same time.

Keeping butterflies safe and neighborhoods beautiful.

Portraits Today Studios News, Dates & Events

Olathe Photographer — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:19:23 +0000

Portraits Today Studios has quite a bit going on in the upcoming days and weeks here in the Olathe, Overland Park and Kansas City areas. So we thought we’d bring you a special post here on our website to keep you up to date.

October 31, 2009
11-3 Texas Roadhouse, Olathe, Kansas – Portraits Today Studios will be photographing kids in their costumes at the Texas Roadhouse. FREE 5x7s will be available to the little trick-or-treaters. Texas Roadhouse will be doing a promotion as well which I believe is kids in costume eat free with accompanying parental meal. (Check with them for the details.)

4-6 Chick-fil-A, Olathe, Kansas- Chick-fil-A will be giving kids in costume a free kids meal with any accompanying parental meal and Portraits Today Studios will be taking pictures of the kids in costume and giving away a FREE 5×7 for each family.

In each of the above cases a certificate good for one free 5×7 will be made available to all the kids we photograph. You can bring that certificate in any time we are open over the next 60 days to our studios and you’ll receive a free 5×7. No purchase necessary though extra copies will be made available to anyone that asks. We just want you to know where we are and to keep us in mind for this holiday’s portrait season. Tell your friends!

November 1, 2009
2-5 “Tweak the Treat” – Prairie Life Fitness in Olathe is allowing TCOY Wellness space to host a “Tweak the Treat” event wherein you can bring in your extra candy from Halloween to send over to our troops who have a sweet tooth. Gift certificates from many local companies in and around Olathe will be there to say “thank you” for your support.

November 13
5-9 Family Portrait Night at Chick-fil-A - You might want to hurry on this one. With nearly no promotion I hear that there have been many reservations made, already. We’ll be taking photos of customers who are there to eat and have made a reservation to get their photo taken. Each family will receive a Free 5×7 that they can pick up from our portrait studios here in Olathe. And you know we’ll make more copies and holiday cards available at our reasonable prices either online or in our studios.

November 13-15
2009 Kansas City “SPLASHDOWN”- Up in Gladstone, MO we’ve been asked to come in and give some quality service for this swim meet’s sports photography. So if you have a little fish look for us up there. And say “hello” because we’d love to meet you in person.

November 26
Closed for Thanksgiving. If you are having family/friends in town why not book now for your family portrait? Last year Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of Thanksgiving week were very busy. So book early.

December 24-25
Closing at 3:30 on Christmas Eve. Closed Christmas Day. May Peace be with you.

Planning for Halloween: Free Food and Photography

Olathe Photographer — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:38:27 +0000

Last year Chick-fil-A of Olathe allowed us to participate in their Harvest Promotion. Basically, any kids that showed up to Chick-fil-A in costume got a free chicken sandwich and then they could come outside and Portraits Today Studios would take their picture and give them a certificate wherein they could pick up a Free 5×7. Well, guess what. We are teaming up again!

While I do not yet know the times I can tell you that it’s on again. So mark your calendars. And with Halloween falling on a Saturday this year you should have more time to come out and see us. Plus you can eat really inexpensively and get a free, fun photo of your kids.

Why do we give away a Free 5×7? We just want you to know where we are. That way when you are thinking about your holiday photos you will think of Portraits Today Studios!

Also, look for our booth at Halloween Express on Strang Line Road when you stop by for some fun trick-or-treat costumes for you and the kids. We’ll be set up there and offering some special promotions through that booth.

Buy A Blizzard To Support Kansas City Children

Olathe Photographer — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 18:18:20 +0000

Today would be a great day to treat yourself to a Dairy Queen Blizzard. You (and hopefully some family members!) get ice cream and our Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, Children’s Hospital in Kansas City, gets a portion of the proceeds. See the promo video here.

Our oldest daughter was born with cerebal palsy. And Children’s Hospital has done amazing things to improve the quality of her life. For that we are forever grateful. Won’t you buy a Blizzrd today?

Portraits Today Studios supports children in need.

Things To Do In Kansas City: Jiggle Jam

Olathe Photographer — Wed, 06 May 2009 21:35:51 +0000

We have kids. Most of our readers have kids. And we are all looking for things to do in Kansas City. While not photography related we like to bring you news when we know of it. As I was reading through Kansas City Parent Magazine yesterday an advertisement for KC Jiggle Jam caught my attention. (Just click on the link or photo to and that’ll take you to the website.) Then I was talking to a sales rep form KC Parent today and he told me it’s a really neat event with tons of kids and their parents.

Apparently there is a cost involved. But well worth it from what I’m told. The event is being held May 23rd & 24th. If you go, let me know what you thought.

Just wanted to bring it to your attention.
