🎄❤️ THE FOREVER COUPLE CHRISTMAS EXPERIENCE ❤️🎄

What if you could give Mom & Dad a $400+ Christmas experience for just $10?

They spent years creating memories with your family…

This Christmas, give them a memory of their own. ❤️

S & J Photography of Central Illinois is creating something special for one very deserving married couple!

🍽️ $100 Dinner Gift Card
Choose from Robb Dobbs Steakhouse, Jim's Steakhouse or Outback

🌹 One Dozen Red Roses

📸 60-Minute Professional Family Portrait Session
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 And yes… their children and grandchildren can join them!

Whether they've been married for 6 months or 70 years, this experience is about celebrating the love that has lasted.

❤️ BECAUSE SOME LOVE STORIES DESERVE TO BE CELEBRATED.

Maybe it's your parents.
Maybe it's your grandparents.
Maybe it's the couple who has shown your family what commitment, love and partnership really look like.

🎄 This could be the Christmas gift they never expected — and will never forget!

❤️ HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

For just $10, purchase a raffle ticket in the name of a married couple.

💍 Newlyweds? YES!
💍 Married 10 years? YES!
💍 Married 50 years? YES!
💍 Married 70+ years? ABSOLUTELY! ❤️

The ONLY requirement is that they are married.

And here's the fun part…

🎟️ EVERY $10 TICKET = 2 ENTRIES!

One entry for the wife ❤️
One entry for the husband ❤️

That means you're essentially giving your married couple TWO chances to have their names drawn!

Want to increase their odds?
🎟️🎟️ Buy 2 tickets!
🎟️🎟️🎟️ Buy 3!
🎟️🎟️🎟️🎟️ Buy as many as you'd like!

❤️ TOTAL VALUE: $400+

Imagine giving your parents the gift of a beautiful dinner, flowers, and professional family portraits they'll have for years to come.

Pekin bound for a beautiful day of photographing a family reunion get together for an old high school classmate and her wonderful family 🫶

Keeping the options open for a location regarding an upcoming photoshoot .... The client and her boyfriend are looking to have a western photoshoot done during golden hour on Saturday, Sept 5th. This type of photoshoot is something that I do on a regular basis however we are looking to possibly use a rustic barn and the horses as a backdrop. Would any of my equestrian community be available that evening to where I could use your property as a photoshoot location on that evening?

I am located in Bloomington but the client couple and myself are willing to travel 60-75 mins outside of BlonNo to the location.

Thanks in advance.

✨ Every session tells a different story. ✨

One of the things I love most about photography is that no two sessions are ever the same. Every family, every sunset, every laugh, and every memory is completely unique.

For this special session, a grandmother wanted to give her granddaughter something she would cherish forever for her 5th birthday. Instead of buying another toy, she gifted an All-Access Photo Session—creating memories that will only become more valuable with time.

From the beauty of country life and their beloved horses to the warm golden hour light and the love this family shares, this session was truly unforgettable.

Here's a little sneak peek of the memories we created together. ❤️ (parent's approved posting as I always check with my clients first especially when kids are involved)

If you're looking for more than just photos and want an experience that tells your family's story, I'd love to help bring your vision to life.
