Here is what's up…A must read for clients!

So, as many of you know, life is crazy insane at JGP!  I appreciate your patience, and want to give you some time lines so that we are all on the same page.  I want to promise everyone a few things first…I work in order of appointments and then by first to order.  What this means is:  I begin editing each clients photos in order of their shoot. After they are posted, gallery given an ordering appointment takes place.  Orders are then placed once payment is received. If you have placed an order, but your payment has not been received, then once that is done, your order will process. A lot is going on and with so many shoots, orders, etc.  The typical time frame of 2 weeks etc. is a little off. I will however shoot, edit, post and order to the fastest of my ability.  Everyone is anxious and most are patient. Just want you to know what goes on behind the scenes and with 35+ clients things get a little crazy.  So….all of that being said. No worries on your galleries or orders, just a friendly reminder on patience.  Please remember orders begin when payment has arrived to me.  

DEADLINES: 

  • Photo shoots are over. I will not be accepting any more photo shoot appointments for 2008.  If you are already scheduled then this does not include you. :)  
  • All orders that are for Christmas must be ordered no later than DECEMBER 5th. Remember that when your gallery expires, there is a $25.00 re-hosting fee.  Please plan to place your order within the week your gallery is available.  This is part of the timing of my work flow process.
  • As soon as your order has arrived, you will be contacted for pickup.

Thanks again for your patience. Holidays are so much fun but I know that we are all on deadlines. I am hoping to get your photos, orders, and gifts all done in a very quick and timely manner.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

FACEBOOK…oh yeah!

So, I have to admit that I love Facebook. I have not been on for a few weeks but that is only a brief break for the craziness of the busy season.  What I am thinking is I want to offer images for you to place of Facebook after you have placed your order. I am just trying to figure out the dynamics of how to offer this.  I think what I will be doing is this.  It will depend on your order tier.  If you order $150.00 or less you will receive 1 low resolution image, $150.00-$300.00 you will receive 2 low resolution images; $300.00-$500.00 4 low resolution images; $500.00-$750.00 you will receive 5 low resolution images and if your order is over $1000.00 you will have 24 low resolution images given to you complimentary for use on your facebook page or digital frames.  These will be images of your choice. 

**These will not come with a release form for any type of printing to be done and are solely for facebook, myspace, or digital framing. Please let me know if I can answer more of your questions regarding this!

Oh where oh where are we shooting tomorrow?

Fun stuff for the last minute MINIs tomorrow. YEAH!
Hello!! I am excited to share with you that we are going to shoot at Hafer Park in Edmond tomorrow. I sometimes think that is so mundane, so I am adding a bit of a funky twist to it. Gotta love some funk in the traditional, right?  Anyhow….Please remember a few things:
 
1.  dress cute and warm
2.  the MINIs are 20 minutes. we will use each minute wisely but will be kept in that time frame for your shoot.  we will have to stay on schedule since others will be arriving right behind you.
3.  don’t forget your payment for your session.  please make checks payable to janna goodwin. 
4.  remember…this is to be fun.  kids and hubbys are typically not thrilled with photo shoots, so let’s have fun!  wear a fun outfit but throw on a cute colorful scarf or funky hat to add to the images. 
 
This is a ”winter” shoot, so let’s pretend that we are out in the winter time.  I can’t wait to see you all! Have a great night and see you tomorrow at the park!
 
WHERE TO MEET:  Hafer Park in Edmond is at 9th and Bryant. Turn in to the park and you will see a parking lot on your left.  Continue going straight up the hill and watch for the 2nd parking lot on your left. Park in there.  You will see me on the right side of the road.  I am soooo excited!  Talk soon! 

I've Added a MINI–last minute!

So here’s the skinny….I have emailed out to many of you, but wanted to make it public knowledge out on the www.

I have had numerous phone calls and emails about booking more shoots. I have finally come to a place that this is the last weekend for shoots unless you have an appointment already scheduled!  I did however decide that I would open the day for a final MINI day.  If you were unable to book your MINI that you wanted, missed an appointment (if you did–you know who you are *smiles*), know someone who wants to book or you are finally getting around to thinking Christmas this is the last time to set up a session.  Please email me if you are interested. Times are limited, but plan to help anyone make it work out!  Take 20 minutes and lets shoot your fam–no pun intended!  Don’t forget to check out all the new fun stuff and cards this year.  The goodies are so great.  I can’t wait to add some new jewelry pieces this week too!  Look forward to talking to you. 
 
FYI–OU plays at 7pm! :)
WHEN:  Saturday November 22nd
LOCATION:  There will probably be 2 locations. I am liking to keep it switched up just a bit. We are doing a bit traditional but then of course, add my favorite, funky location too.  IF you or someone you know has a fun red couch they would want to bring to a shoot for the traditional, they will have their sitting fee at 1/2 price!  OH YEAH!  Just let me know!
REFERRALS:  If you refer someone new to the final MINI you will be able to add a complimentary print (8×10 or smaller) to any order you make before December 31st.
I am just overwhelmed that we are so close to Christmas….Look foward to seeing you and getting ourselves all ready for the holidays!

We had a great time just laughing!

The older kids get, the more self conscious they are and I think sometimes a little more difficult to “shoot.” Not these fun kids!  Even when they look at me like I am an idiot, I just keep on making them laugh. Usually by the end of a shoot, we are pretty cool and could make plans for Thanksgiving dinner together. :)   Love that.  Alrighty mature kids, these are pretty darn cute. Enjoy!!

Saturday MINIs!

I know this is coming out later than I like to put out info on our MINI location, but time got away from me terribly. I am so sorry!  I am excited to say that for our urban MINI this Saturday will be in Bricktown.  MINIs are taken every 20 minutes so when we meet keep in mind that there is another family that is going to be coming for thier shoot right after yours. :)   We will meet right in front of Crab Town. Please plan to arrive about 5 minutes prior to your appointment time and have all your sweet angels ready to shoot. If you have any questions, I will be available via phone tomorrow after 1pm but cannot guarantee that I will have email access prior to our MINI.  I look forward to our shoots!!  Have a great night and see you soon!

A little time away!

I am on my way out of town for a little down time that is so extremely needed!  No worries for anyone though. If you have not seen your sneak peeks on the blog yet, they will get up within the week.  All Christmas orders must be paid for and ordered by November 30th to guarantee timely arrival.  (unless we have spoken regarding this)  I look forward to the next MINI on November 15th starting at 9am.  If you have any questions please email me. I will not be returning any calls while out of the office.  I hope that you have a great week and talk soon!
