Holga Sessions – Free to Book on April Fools

Stacie — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 11:50:31 +0000

Hey, I realize normal people offer sales on more conventional days, like Labor Day, but I’m not especially normal and the holga is not an especially normal camera.

The Sale: A free holga-only session. Must be reserved today (4/1) and scheduled before 8/30/2011.

The Fine Print: There will be a $100 charge to book the session which will be applied to your print order. If you decide you don’t like any prints, your reservation fee will be refunded to you in full.

Why the Fine Print: I am only going to schedule 5 of these free sessions and it’s on a first come, first served basis and I don’t want someone to take a slot and fill up the schedule and then renege. I’m hoping a $100 reservation fee will ensure only people who really want a holga session will book.

What’s a holga? A holga is a plastic toy camera. They are quirky, unpredictable and can produce dreamy images with a fantastical feel to them. They can also produce utter dreck. If you aren’t already familiar with my holga work you really shouldn’t book this.

How do I book? Send $100 to orders@memoriesbystacie.com via paypal. If you are not one of the first 5 to book I will simply refund you the money.

A picture: Because, really, there haven’t been enough pictures this week:

Local Bradley Childbirth Class Provider

Stacie — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:33:17 +0000

I wanted to do Bradley classes but there were none available when I was pregnant. I slip coupons for $50 off session fees in Erica Grossman’s Bradley classes goodie bags and am letting you all know about her classes because I wish she had been doing this when I was knocked up and even if I didn’t benefit from it there’s no reason you can’t.

We are planning another series of classes to the first week in June, for mamas who are due in August/September

The Bradley Method is a series of twelve classes, held weekly, that help prepare you and your husband/partner for labor and birth without the use of drugs and with the goal of avoiding as much medical intervention as possible. The classes include education on good nutrition during pregnancy, exercises to prepare the mother for the marathon of labor, anatomy and physiology of labor, coping techniques for labor, good coaching tips for the partner, ways to avoid drugs and interventions, breastfeeding information and postpartum care. The aim of the classes is to make the mother comfortable and trust in her body so she can tune-in to her body through labor and use natural breathing and relaxation to work through the labor without the use of drugs.

The classes are ideal for families planning home OR hospital births; first, second or beyond!

Each class runs approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. Classes are held in our home in Manchester, and we limit class size to ensure plenty of time for personal discussion.

Contact her if you are interested in attending her classes!
