Family Portrait Time and More Pics of My Cute Nieces and Nephew

It's that time of year again! Family Portrait Time! We are trying something new this year, I'm so excited!

FAMILY PORTRAIT SESSION

1 hour session
40-50 Edited Images
Mid-Res CD of Images
Up to 6 people (each additional person $15)

$200

Included is a 1 hour session in the Orange County area. Outside of Orange County is a $25 travel fee. Following the session 40-50 artistically edited images will be placed on the proofing site for 2 weeks for ordering. After your orders have been placed, your mid-res CD of all of the images will be sent. A mid-res CD means that all of the images will be in a 4x6 format, so you can make any prints up to a 4x6 size. Perfect for any Christmas cards that you will be making!

Hi-Res CDs will also be available for purchase for $400. You can see all of the print prices on the Mollie Jane Website in the Portrait Prices section.

Call today to set up a session, we are booking for the last week in October right now.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a sneak peek of a shoot I did with my nieces and my nephew while I was in Utah. Below are some more images from that shoot. Aren't they SO adorable?!












My sister and her little cuties.

Out of the Office...and Sneak Peaks :)

I will be out of the office from September 13th-17th. Carlos and I are going to Michigan to visit his family. So fun! I've never been there, they have always come to us. I will have my phone and email with me so I will be return call and emails as quickly as I can.

In the meantime, I did this shoot of my nieces and nephew while I was in Utah to shoot Tanner and Brighton's wedding. There is much more to come, but I was dying over these pictures. Don't I have the cutest nieces? (I have a darling nephew too and he will be in the full post.)

Queen Mary Bridal Show: Success!

So last week we did our first bridal show on the Queen Mary. It was SO great! Carlos and my sister, Carrie Beth came along for help and support which was desperately needed, I would not have been able to do it without them. I met lots of fun people!

Maybe we will do another one sometime...we'll see.

These are some images of our booth. I was so happy with it. Of course there are things that I would change next time, but I wanted something that was "me", not something boring and cliche. I loved my flowers! I got them at the Every Bloomin' Thing in Costa Mesa.



We went a little bit over board and we made ("we" meaning Carrie Beth and my niece, Madison) 500 of these frosted brownies. They were a hit though, but we had a couple hundred left over :)

My booth neighbors were a couple of awesome wedding designers/coordinators. Their booth was awesome! They were Serendipity Event Group, definitely call them!

Come See Us at the Queen Marry Bridal Show on Sunday!!!!!

$100 Off Show Special!!!

Come see us at the Queen Mary Bridal Show in Long Beach on Sunday, August 16th! Doors open at 11am and it goes until 4pm. Our booth should be really fun with albums and slideshows and treats.

We are running a show discount! If you come to the show and book your wedding day there you will receive $100 off any package.

We would LOVE to see you there! It should be a really fun show, really, it's on the Queen Mary :)

WE HAVE A NEW PHONE NUMBER!!!

Since we are now in Orange County we have change our phone number. Our new phone number is:

714-224-9904

Every thing else has stayed the same, but, as of immediately, this is our new phone number.

New Logo

I went to a workshop and the instructor said that you needed LOVE your logo. I have always LIKED my logo, but have never felt in love with it. I've had and used my first one for a couple of years now and then I had Carlos make the 2nd one and I started switching things over, but I never finished it, probably because I was never really in love with it. BUT... tonight Carlos and I (mostly Carlos) finished a logo that I LOVE, I feel like it is totally ME, probably because it is based on my real life signature. I am just really so excited about it and I can't wait to incorporate it into everything.

And...tomorrow I will have a real blog post up. July was an absolutely CRAZY month! Lots of fun, lots of cool weddings, but now I have to get caught up on everything that got set aside while I was traveling all over the western United States.

Yay! Check out my new logo! Thank you, Carlos! I love it! If anyone needs a logo or a website or anything check out his website (www.visual5.com) or give him a call (909.809.1119)

2010 High School Reps Needed!

Well folks...We are doing it. We are pulling up stakes in good ol' Redlands, California and moving to the OC! We are so excited! I drive down there 3-5 times a week and it really just makes sense that we live there. So that means, with the 2010 Senior Portrait Season coming up quickly, we need to get our High School Reps down in Orange County set up. I have included all of the information below. If you have any questions please call me 909.297.3251 or email me info@molliejanephotography.com.

***And my blog readers, if you know any Orange County 2010 graduates that you think would be interested, please forward them this blog post. Thanks so much!!!

"Fill the Calendar" Special!!!

We are so close to being booked for the rest of the year, but we do have a few days still available for weddings (ex. August 22nd). So we decided that we would run a "Fill the Calendar" Special. Call or email us today to see if we still have your day available. We would LOVE to be a part of your special day!

Going to Utah

I will be in Utah for the rest of the week! My little sis is getting married. So excited. It will be a very busy week and I will come home with a ton of images to post on the blog. Wednesday I have a shoot with adorable newborn twins and then I am doing bridals for my sister. On Thursday I am doing their engagements (backwards, I know) and then I am doing their family pictures (my sister has a 1 1/2 year old little girl and her fiance has a 5 year old boy and a 3 year old girl) AND I am doing another family shoot for one of their friends. And then on Friday is the wedding! Saturday I am just going to hang out.

I WILL have email and phone access all week, so I will get back to everyone ASAP!

Stay tuned for some fun pics when I get home!

My New Baby!!

I am very excited to announce that I have added a new member to the Mollie Jane family! I just returned from WPPI in Las Vegas tonight. I had the most wonderful time. I learned SO much. But the most wonderful thing that happened this week was I purchased the new Nikon D700!!!!! I was not planning on it, but I couldn't help it, it was calling out my name. I am so excited to shoot with it.

Going to...

I am headed to Las Vegas early Sunday morning for WPPI! So excited. It is the biggest wedding and portrait photographer convention. Seriously, it is so awesome. I come home so fired up.

Tifany and I are going and will be there from the 15th through the 18th. I won't have much access to the internet, but I will get back to everyone ASAP!

Awesome Newport Beach Groomals!!!

I love groomals!! What are "groomals" you may ask? Groomals are bridals and you add in the groom. Why do I love them? You get to pick your favorite locations, the best lighting, and you have 2-3 hours of non-stressful pictures. Sometimes on your wedding day, things run late, lighting isn't ideal, etc., etc. And so your couple pictures get cut short. Dave and Melissa chose to have a groomal session, now if their ceremony runs late, it's raining, someone forgets the flowers, no one can find grandma, their is no stress because they already have amazing pictures.

I chose to do a groomal session when I got married. I am SO SO SO glad that I did! We had perfect light, more locations, and awesome pictures that we would never have had time for if we waited until our wedding day. Plus on our wedding day it was 30 degrees, dark and overcast and I was running late, then our car broke down on the way to our reception facility to do pictures. Even though all of this happened I still had a smile on my face because we already had a ton of awesome pictures.

Okay, enough about my love for groomals. Dave and Melissa are such a cute couple. We did their groomals in Newport Beach (one of my favorite places in the whole wide world). Their wedding is next month (the day after Christmas) in San Diego and I am so excited! Check out some of my favorites.
