ONE MORE!

Monday, October 26th, 2009

I am so excited about my updated site!  There will be more additions made but hopefully this is fresh and new and a little fun for you as well!  The bright colors sure make me smile! 

Here is a quick note to let you know that I am going to extend the MINI sessions into November. I was booked up for the shoots in October and had the greatest time with each of you. I have however, received emails and calls that there was still some peeps out there that wanted to shoot but craziness was going on.  Check this out and look forward to talking to you!

So super excited to share the 2009 Christmas Cards.  There are so many options this year.  My plan is to premiere all the choices and bring in some of the faves from years past.  Check out the tab above that is titled CARDS!  Enjoy the choices….and get ready for some really cool MINI shoots to plug into these cards to share with sweet friends!

Here come the MINIs….October style!

mini reminder

And the "winner" is……

Saturday, September 26th, 2009
This letter went out a little over a month ago, and the drawing has been done and the name announced.  Just want to share with you the winner!
 
THE COOL NEW THING….I am so excited to have a drawing for something!  What my plan this year is:  I am looking for a family that would love and deserve a photo session. So often we go from need to need and don’t stop and do something great for ourselves. (MOMS–you especially!)  So, what I am doing is looking for a family to spend some fun time with and “shoot them up!”  This can be anyone….
From you?? Nominate someone that we can bless the fire out of!  I love surprises so shhhhhhh….The sweet family that wins, will get to choose a date in October or early November to do our exclusive shoot as well as they will have prints and Christmas cards to send out as well!  I am so excited about this I can hardly stand it!  Once names come in from you, I will do a drawing and announce on thejgpblog!  Please email the family’s name, email address and phone number. If you are a family that wants to be included in this, no worries….email me and your name goes in.  If there is a story behind the nomination, add it!  I can’t wait to see who we will be blessing together! 

I am so excited to announce the “winning” family is Troy and Amy Manolovits!  They are thrilled and honestly, so I am!  I cannot wait to schedule our shoot and to spend time with this much loved family!

Thank you so much for all your nominations and sweet emails.  There are a lot of neat family’s out there that are loved very much!

Senior Pics….my nephew–so cute!

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

OK, so I had this senior shoot of my nephew T.  He was so much fun….and I think he may even had a good time too. :)   Guys are so hard to read and hate to have their pictures taken, so I have to convince and remind them that it really isn’t that bad!  I was honored to spend this time with him and excited on how these sneaks turned out. I won’t embarass him here, just can’t believe he is a SENIOR!  Awesome pics and an awesome man.  Love you T!

mini promo flyer

Hello Hello!  So, sit down for a minute and relax!  I hope that you have had an amazing Summer and are looking forward to Fall!  My “word” for this year is SIMPLICITY….with that comes organizing and planning ahead….way ahead.  So here goes!   
I have just completed the details for the MINIs for 2009.  I will not be doing full sessions this year during the fall and Christmas card season other than for Seniors ‘10.  I have checked out football schedules and planned around the Cowboys and Sooners giving everyone a possible time to squeeze in some picture time! Once these slots are full, that will be all that I will have available.  So, I will have three sessions/locations to choose from.  I will be offering a Summer MINI this year that is scheduled in just a few weeks.  This is for those that want to grab the fam and capture those tans and bleached out hair while it is here. Great thing….it’s done! :)   The last two shoots I will be offering is an urban session in the bricktown area, and then a winter style shoot with evergreens/pine trees as the background. 
For anyone unfamiliar with MINIs….these are shoots that are quick, at one location and are scheduled for 15 minutes.  Hubby’s and kids love them!
 
This year I am establishing MINI packs.  These packs include the session fee, portrait package, and custom Christmas cards.  If you are interested in a Summer, Urban or Winter MINI, please email me (jannagoodwin@yahoo.com) or leave a comment below.  Please let me know which type of session you are interested in. This will help me out on the planning of the shoots.  I will be adding additional packs for the MINIs as well as the custom Christmas cards on here soon.  I am so excited about these and think you will be too. IF you are interested in scheduling a MINI without a pack, the session fee is $40.00.  Unfortunately, I will not be able to extend the special pack pricing after booking.
 
Thanks so much! I hope to see you all again very soon!
 

Technical DIFF-I-CULTIES!

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Alrighty JGP clients.  We are having some technical difficulties here at JGP.  Galleries are going to be delayed for posting but no worries….it won’t be too long. Just want to keep you up on the details.  I look forward to getting sneak peeks and galleries up soon!

Have a great week! Any questions, please email me!

The new "motto"…..Simplicity!

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Today is June 1!  May shoots are completed, galleries are current, and I am taking some time off through June 15th.

  • IF you have had a recent shoot your gallery will be up within the 3-4 week time frame
  • IF you have placed an order it will be available for pick up once you recieve an email notification

I am making some adjustments to the JGP schedule for 2009. I am very passionate about keeping my pricing affordable. I have had suggestions to raise prices that will then reduce the number of clients because of the increase.  That’s not what my biz is about. I have promised to be affordable, and I plan to continue to keep my pricing the same. With that said, I have to make adjustments to my schedule to allow what I SAY my priorities are to BE my true priorities.  Just a few things for you to know is:  I am a wife of a husband who works FT on weekends and goes to school FT M-TH; a Mommy of 3; I homeschool our 9, 6 and almost 5 year old kiddos—–these are my number one priorities.  I just have to be honest.  THEN….I have a fabulous photography business that is growing and I am enjoying so much. After praying for so long on what to do, I have decided to scale back throughout the year to only 4 shoots a month and then book MINIs for Christmas! 

Here are a few tidbits of what is to come this year!

  • JGP is taking up to 4 photo shoots per month. 
  • Christmas MINIs will be on 3 separate days
  • Orders for Christmas will be completed by November 15th
  • After your shoot–it may take up to 4 weeks for you to have your gallery posted
  • Once your order is placed and invoice has been paid, it can take up to 3 weeks for your orders to arrive
  • I have a few open appointments for July and August.  **Schedule early!

**I will still take my newborn baby appointments when they arrive….no worries! :)

I think that this is all for now. Thank you so much for your business and your encouragement.  Knowing that my clients are aware of what is going on in my life helps the understanding angle.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  Have a great Summer and look forward to seeing you throughout the year!
