Brett and I have been talking and have come to the conclusion that "Jones Portrait Studio" suits our business better than our old M Jones Photography. The change became official this morning when we registered the new domain <a href="http://www.JonesPortraitStudio.com">www.JonesPortraitStudio.com</a> You can still go to <a href="http://www.mjonesphoto.net">www.mjonesphoto.net</a>, but you'll be prompted to click on the new link.<br />My new email is <a href="mailto:Melissa@jonesportraitstudio.com">Melissa@jonesportraitstudio.com</a><br /><br />Change is good!<br />Melissa<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4500594456965565231-3281032850004202865?l=jonesportraitstudio.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04934510929330889623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500594456965565231.post-65794895148897476912007-02-21T18:14:00.000-06:002007-02-21T18:40:19.910-06:00<div>I had some time this past weekend to finish reupholstering this antique chaise. It used to be the lovely mauve you see here.<br /><div> </div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QehmEueJgbI/Rdzh97f-q7I/AAAAAAAAADQ/6k8o64y419U/s1600-h/0403.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5034146937553464242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QehmEueJgbI/Rdzh97f-q7I/AAAAAAAAADQ/6k8o64y419U/s320/0403.JPG" border="0" /></a> When I tore it apart I could see why it was sunk in one corner. Luckily it was just one of the supports for the springs needed to be rescrewed into the frame. Why luckily? Because my upholstery skills drop off pretty rapidly if you can't use a staple gun or a glue gun! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5034148857403845570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QehmEueJgbI/Rdzjtrf-q8I/AAAAAAAAADY/flI3HmaNLxk/s320/0404.JPG" border="0" /> Here's the final finished project in the camera room. Doesn't it look great??

If you know anyone who has a little girl or two (or have them yourself), I have pictured in my mind a little girl in a party dress perched on the side of this chaise. What do you think? Give me a call if you'd like to help me experiment with my new prop. Mention you saw my post and your session is free. If you have a friend who has never been in, they'll get the free session and you'll get a $50 studio credit. Don't make me get Sophia dressed up to be my model :)</div><div> </div><div>Enjoy the beautiful weather!!</div><div>Melissa<br /></div><div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4500594456965565231-6579489514889747691?l=jonesportraitstudio.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04934510929330889623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500594456965565231.post-5065360127881762392007-02-14T15:56:00.000-06:002007-02-14T16:39:12.369-06:00<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Have a</span> great Valentine's Day today.
