And the "winner" is……

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!

Way fun fam!

Sweet Girls!

September 6th, 2009

More Sneak Peeks.  I took my sweet niece and little M out for a shoot one day.  The green building was so fun.  My little M is blessed to have someone a little older in her life that is amazing in every area of her life.  I’m so proud of both of them!  We had a great girls day out! Enjoy the fun pics between these two girls and a few shots of them by themselves!

Senior Pics….my nephew–so cute!

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!

Here come the SPs….

August 25th, 2009

As I have said, and told you all….I was computer-less for almost a month. What does that mean to someone like me?  CRAZINESS hits and work stops!  Praise the Lord that all the files from shoots, etc. were saved and that I am now able to access them and begin editing and processing.  Because of this setback, I am working hard at getting caught up before September 2nd. If you are waiting on your gallery, thank you for patience.  I hope you enjoy the sneak peeks that I will be posting over the next few days.  As soon as full galleries are available, the same “rules” will apply.  Your gallery will host, you will have 5 days to check it out and figure out what you want to order and we will talk.  It sounds so easy, but you and I both know…it’s just not! :)   Enjoy the sneaks of these families, seniors and cute little ones.

the MINIs info is here!! check it out!!

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!
