Introducing several of our GREAT 2011 Senior Ambassadors

Each year, we select up to 2 lucky students from each local high school to represent our fabulous studio. We are having so much fun getting to know these great kids! We are in the process of doing their custom portrait sessions. Let us introduce our first 2 seniors; Kyle Jorgenson representing Lakeville High School and Anne Ferguson representing Eastview High School. As Ambassadors for our studio, Anne and Kyle receive 2 FREE style photo sessions, Representative Cards, and a lucrative bonus for each referral they send to our studio. They also earn discounts on their portraits for their referrals. Our Ambassador Program is the best program in the area and because of that, we are lucky to hire the best students around to represent our great studio.



Customer satisfaction is our main priority

As a small business that is family owned, each customer means the world to us! We strive to go above and beyond for each and every guest of our studio. In doing so, we have made some incredible friends and loyal customers along the way!

Being very humble people, we don't like to "toot our own horn..." but we are very proud of the business we have dreamed of and grown. We have grown to a successful studio with minimal advertising. The majority of our business comes from referrals and word of mouth. That is just awesome! Below is a note received just today from the family of one of our 2010 senior graduates:

"Thank you so very much. We really love the work you guys do. And we like the kind of people you are. It is nice to do business with a smaller local company, and good people in general".
Thanks,
The Peterson Family.




We all know through experience that a satisfied customer will not always tell their friends and family about their experience unless you as the service provider has provided extraordinary service. On the flip side, a customer that might be somewhat dissatisfied with their experience will not hesitate to tell 10 or more people. If our customers are not 150% satisfied, we have not done our job... we lose sleep over that!

We look forward to creating amazing, custom portraits for you someday and look forward to giving you the same experience our previous customers are talking about! Don't wait to lose those last 10 pounds, etc. to get those precious and important professional family portraits taken! Make your appointment now, you will never regret it! You will regret not having a memorable family portrait in the future if you don't!

NEW!! Bella V Portrait Parties!

We are very excited about the launch of our exclusive new concept designed by C’est La Vie Photography; “Bella V” Portrait Parties.
Host a Bella V party in your home, invite your friends, family and their children for appetizers and beverages and we will bring our mobile studio to you! Each of your guests will enjoy a Bella V mini session at no cost & no obligation. Our state-of-the-art system allows us to do initial retouching and proofing at the end of the session at which time your guests will preview and order their portraits, framing, and portrait boutique items from the comfort of your home. As the hostess, you will receive FREE portraits and gifts based on the total sales from your Bella V party. Each guest will also receive a special gift from C’est La Vie Photography for attending your party.

HOPE Kids and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
Following the full recovery of Shireen’s mother from lymphoma over 6 years ago, C’est La Vie Photography dedicated their charitable efforts to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and became their “official photographic sponsor”. Because of our strong commitment to finding a cure and to the families and children fighting blood cancers, we offer FREE in-studio mini-sessions for the patient and their family. C’est La Vie will also donate 10% of the portrait purchase to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Call the studio for more details at 952-226-3996.

Angels of Hope Calendar Contest – Begins in April

To further our efforts in supporting the cure to blood cancers, C’est La Vie Photography will be producing a calendar; Angels of Hope, which will be sold at local retailers and through websites to raise money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. C’est La Vie Photography will be hosting several photo sessions to be held at local retailers and boutiques. The images captured will all be used within the calendar photo contest. The winners will be announced in October and will make-up the pages of this beautiful calendar. The child who wins the Cover will also win one free year of portraits from C’est La Vie Photography! Watch our website, Blog and Facebook Page for all of the upcoming details. Please help us make this venture a success!
