Dear Friends,

What is the Scoop?
So this is past due by a couple of days! Please forgive us, but we wanted to have a super cool image to show you for this newsletter, when you scroll down you can see it. Besides that, we have been working on some very awesome updates to our business, but we shall talk about that a bit later. As you know, Christmas has come and gone already, and it is a brand new year! That is kind of scary to think about. The things that happened in 2010 are now in the past and it is time to start a clean slate and for some, put things that happened in 2010 behind us.

Snow is a good representation of the new year, and it seemed like we got quite a bit of it today. It is always refreshing to see a sheet of pure white snow on the ground, covering everything. It looks clean and new, and it brings a new outlook on the things that we see every day. We hope that 2011 will be that way for Jenuine Creations as well. We are already looking forward to the clients that we will be able to serve in the coming months. We also would like to let all of you who have been past clients with us that we will be extending our $25.00 print credit referral program. Refer any of your friends and family members and if they book a session, event or wedding with us, we will give you a $25.00 print credit for whatever you would like to purchase (merchandise must be a minimum of $25.00 pre tax :) for any past session that occurred in 2010 or for a new session in 2011. Let us know if you have any questions about this, we would be happy to explain in more detail.

Just a little recap for our family Christmas, Nicole celebrated her twenty-second birthday on December 8th. She now "officially" feels old! The Praniewicz family celebrated Christmas Eve at their home in Clarksville, with our traditional menu of homemade Mexican food consisting of Chicken Enchiladas, Pinto Beans and Cheese, Spanish Rice, yummy Salads and dips and ok, we threw in hommeade Creme Brulee as well, even though it is not Mexican! Nicole and Ken opened their stockings after dinner as it was their first married Christmas together, therefore they would not be over for Christmas morning, so sad!

Anyway, besides our regular festivities for Christmas, Greg, Nicole, Shelli and I were privileged to take a trip to the Kalamazoo Air Zoo during the week between Christmas and New Years. We were quite pleasantly surprised at everything that was there from the planes, to exhibits to the interactive rides, Shelli and I even got to ride in the flight simulator, and I think we did one to many barrel roles! (Nicole and Greg chickened out).

We spent our New Years Eve relaxing and celebrating with friends. The one big thing that we mentioned earlier was that we have been working on some new things for Jenuine Creations and part of it is a NEW WEBSITE! We now have a site that features our Wedding Photography. It just launched today and we are very excited to share it all with you. Please click here to be taken to West Michigan Wedding Photography, by Jenuine Creations, LLC.

We hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas and we pray that God would continue to bless each one of you throughout this New Year,

Love,

Jen & Nicole -

Image of the Month: "Thank you to 2010"

This photograph is pretty self explanatory. It is basically a giant thank you card to many of the clients that we worked with in 2010. We just want to thank you for letting us serve and work with you throughout the past year and we hope that we will be able to again in the near future as your little ones turn in to high school seniors, your sisters and brothers get married and as your families grow with new life. Take the time to cherish the moments now, they are so fleeting, and what better way to do that than capturing beautiful portraits of your loved ones, forever.

Quote of the Month:
"For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning."
