[Lnc-business] photos for LNC at LP.org

Thu Oct 27 11:24:17 EDT 2016

This is me using an iPhone5 in the office.

This is me for *$109.98* after 15 minutes at a JC Penney's portrait studio:

If we don't have a professional photo for you, go here to find your 
nearest JC Penney's, http://www.jcpportraits.com/ and schedule a session 
before the Christmas rush. They are not busy at all on most weekdays if 
you can go then. You can probably get an appointment the same day you call.

Your first priority should be to ask for a white background because that 
is flexible for most things we use your photo for. If you want to take a 
few extra minutes, you can change your shirt and tie and/or get another 
photo with a more elegant background.

If you are really strapped for cash, I think you can buy just 1 photo 
for about $40, or three for about $70. I went ahead and paid $109.98 for 
the whole set, which I was able to download and use for anything I want 
in the future (I paid for these myself).

I hope that helps.
