Happy holidays and That Last-Minute Gift Idea!

*** She skips into the room wearing a little red corset with the tutu skirt and a Santa hat. Taking a closer look you notice that she is carrying a big plate of cookies. With a smile she goes to sit at the desk, and she places the cookies on the desktop before speaking. ***

Merry Christmas everyone! A know normally I stay up with you guys to track Santa, but this year is I could just not stay awake. (I think an elf spiked my coffee!) So I thought I would bring everyone cookies! I actually have some in SL, if anyone would like. (HeHe) 

The first thing I would like to do is to wish each one of you a happy holiday from Stefan and myself.


I hope that your day is blessed and all your dreams come true.

The last thing I wanted to do was help all of the list minutes shoppers who friends and family having logged in yet. If you are still struggling to find the perfect last minute gift, why not try LUMIPro? It is a wonderful gift for the photographer in your life. Even our very own users think so!

Absolutely Amazing

Decided to get back into photography, so I was looking up how to better my shots and for something to let me use poses on SIMs without rezzing when I ran across the LumiPro. After some hesitation (I hate giving up my lind on large purchases lol) i went ahead and bought it and havent been disappointed yet. After playing around with the lighting for just a few minutes I could see a drastic improvement in my photos. I can't thank you enough!

Amazing

Spreading Christmas Cheer with LUMIPro!

*** She walks into the sales gallery with arms full of presents. As she crouches down to start placing them under the tree you see a line of men, shirtless dressed in slacks with suspenders and a Santa hat, follow behind her. Looking up she motions for them to start placing the photos on the wall. Then as she places the last present she turns with a smile to everyone else in the room. ***

Good afternoon everybody! With the holidays, and of course Santa Claus on his way, I thought it was time to share some of the Christmas cheer being created with LUMIPro.  As I was looking in LUMIPro's Flickr group it was such a difficult choice. I am always so amazed by everyone's creativity! I feel blessed to represent a company whose product helps to each of you bring your artistic vision to light. All that being said, let's show off some of your Christmas cheer and winter spirit!



 
 
 

 
Aren't these photos just great?! I want to remind everyone if your photos are not shareable I cannot use them in spotlights. If you want to check out more holiday cheer, created by LUMIPro users, take a look at the Flickr group. You won't be disappointed!

I think this is going to be a wonderful holiday season. The release of LUMIPro 2017 was amazing! Look at all that you guys are creating with it! Don't forget to remind your friends and family that LUMIPro is a great holiday gift, and updates are always free!

Congratulations to our holiday spotlights! I have no doubt that I will be talking with you guys again before the big day. Until next time... Merry Christmas!

*** With a wave and a smile she assures you out the door to get ready for the holiday. ***

Its been 48 hours since we released LUMIPro 2017 and its now in the hands of 100s of photographers and we know we owe everyone some quality documentation and training videos.   The manual edits are in flight and hopefully we'll have our fully updated 2017 manual by next week.  We also plan on redoing the training videos using the 2017 HUD.

Until then, here is a video for experienced LUMIPro folks giving an overview of the 2017 features.  

If you have questions or issues contact Samantha Ansar-Buscaylet or myself.

Happy shooting. Let me know what you think.
