fall bash | oh yeah!

Hello lovelys. I pray this finds all of you filled with peace and joy. I wanted to update you all on whats going on around here! Our busy “fall” season has began with a boom. We are busier than ever and almost full for the 2009 year. That is amazing and flattering and such a blessing. I love you guys! Im super excited about seeing my oldies again and of course meeting some newbies! You all know I love me some baby cheeks to snuggle. If your still wanting to schedule a session please contact us as soon as you can. Im guessing that after our Fall Bash we will have no more openings! We may be booked before that so ….dont wait!

We have several new products that are offered this season, all of which will be on display at the fall bash. We are offering custom christmas cards as well, so fun! Remember all sessions must take place by Nov.13th to be delivered for christmas. If you have already had your session you may contact me and we can design your card with those images. I know alot of my moms enter a christmas card competition each year….(we have to win!)  :)

I am still working on the Christmas Event details and will announce that very soon. Keep watching as that will fill up sooo fast.

Now, the Fall Bash (open house).. it is coming up! FRiday Sept 25th, 7-10pm. If you haven’t made it down to my new loft in East Nashville, this is the perfect time to come. We will be showing off lots of goodies, a live band will be playing throughout the night, lots of good drinks and food, a great reason to get a sitter and enjoy the night out and of course lots of FREEBIES for MJ Photography! IF you have a lil girl (and they do have a few items for moms and lil boys) Im sure you have heard of Matilda Jane Clothing. You can only get their new line through a trunk show, they are just adorable and will look fabolous in Fall Portraits, She will be here all set up to take orders that night. You can also come at 6:30 if you just want to look through her stuff before the crowd! Take a look at the site, just love it!! If you cant make it that night (why not?) then look it over online and email me your order. simple! So anyway there will be some other goodies to look at and you can start your christmas shopping early! Dont forget we have some adorable gift certificates that make a awesome gift to anyone!! HEY…easy shopping!

Now on to the goodies and such…i know that is what you really want to know! We will have 100′s of balloons filling the ceiling, one person per family will pop a balloon and win a fab-o-lous prize! We will also be doing a BIG drawing for a BIG package….a package worth over $700…yep…more than $700….everyone who enters the doors can enter the drawing. NOW if you bring along (even if they are crying and dont want to be there) any of your friends that have never used MJP before..you can enter again…bring 3 friends..enter 3 more times..get it? The more people you bring the more chances you have of winning. We will also be pulling door prizes from that stash throughout the night! FUN FUN FUN stuff!!

I was so humbled by how many sessions we booked last open house on the spot, so due to popular demand we will be offering the same special…if you book your session that night you will receive a $150 credit towards your purchase. All you have to do is find Melody…remember her?..the one that looks identical to me…find her and say “hey i want to have MJ capture my beautiful family in a totally awesome way..sign me up” :) you will then pay your session fee and give her all of your info…the next week we will contact you and get you a date on the books!

All of these freebies will be good through April 1, 2010! Soooo you can use them this fall or for your Spring Session! Awesome. As with anything there are a few small rules…they will be posted! :)

Wow…this is alot of info…want to see a beautiful picture now?

love to you all and hope to see you all at our Fall Bash!

nashville childrens photographer | a great place to grow up

 

i have had the pleasure of knowing (and loving) this sweet family since Lilly was a big beautiful bump! I cant believe how her and Robert have grown. They are very lucky lil kiddos to have this beautiful farm to grow up on. Their great grandparents live here and their momma roamed these same hills and rivers when she was lil. love that!! Robert has always had this smile that was captivating in photographs and that has not changed. This first image of him is one of my favorites yet, he loves to climb this tree, can you tell? Sweet lil Lilly is petite and so sweet! Her sweet lil dolly is dressed like her (thanks to her grandma). Sooo adorable. But I have to say the last image of them flying around is just one of those captures, that I am so thankful for. Sweet innocence. Sweet childhood. 

I love to realize that my job allows me to be a actual part of peoples lives. To be around and watch these amazing lil small people grow into lil men and women. Just awesome. thank you all for allowing me that!

nashville childrens photographer | sweets.

 

all i can say is sweets. these two were just about as sweet as they come! lets ignore the fact that they are beautiful, and that they came all the way from DC! They were so great for our session and they got to fly home right afterwards. I hope their sweetness stayed with them throughout the flight for dad!! :)
