Lili the Sassy Witch - Halloween Drawing Winner

Miss Lili's mom was one of my two Halloween portrait session winners. We met up last weekend for her session and she had the cutest witch costume ever! Lili seemed pretty shy when I first met her, but it did not take long for her to warm up to me. Her mom asked her if she was a good witch or a bad witch...Lili said she was a bad witch, but I think she is really a sassy witch! :-)

We found this wonderfully huge old tree for Lili to climb, and that is where we stayed for the whole session. I love it when the kiddos I photograph are willing to climb, run and be spontaneous for the camera. Lili was more than willing to do all that with the kind of charm only an almost 4 year old can have.

I think Mom was tickled to see all of Lili's impulsive and creative poses. She decided pretty quickly that her witch's hat was just not working with her ideas, so we ditched it early in the session. :-)

I really love this next one...a little bit of serious face for a tiny moment.



Have a fantastic Halloween Lili!

2008 Holiday Cards

The leaves are starting to fall and the weather seems to finally be turning cooler...I'm sure ya'll are in the mood for Halloween and looking forward to Thanksgiving. But don't forget that the holidays are only two months away! Time to start thinking about sending your holiday cards...

This year I have five custom designed cards for you to choose from. The size of each card is noted above each photo.

5x7 Classic

5x7 Joy

5x7 Happy Holidays

5x7 Merry & Bright

5x5 Christmas Joy

Each design is priced at $50 for a set of 25 cards and envelopes. If you've already had a portrait session with me, we can use one of your existing photos.

And for those of you who will be new clients, or my returning clients looking for an updated holiday photo, I am currently running a $75 Holiday Portrait Session special! That is half off my regular session fee, but you must book and pay for it by October 31.


Send me an email at info@marcyjordan.com to order your cards or book your session...hurry because I have a limited number of spots available!

Creepy & Fascinating

My husband and I took a drive on Saturday with plans to get out into the country and take some scenic photos. We ended up at an antique store instead, because I'm addicted to them and my husband is indulgent. :-)

This is not your typical antique shop.

There are dozens and dozens of these really creepy dummies...not really mannequins, because they all have different faces, hair and clothing. And I mean these are creepy in a totally awesome that-dummy-is-staring-at-me kind of way. This is the kind of place I'd equally love and hate to be exploring in the dark of night. Perfect for this time of year.

But besides the dummies, they have some really fascinating stuff...things that are perfect for photography. Like this bicycle...that I totally wanted my husband to buy for me but he wouldn't because apparently $375 is too much for an old bicycle...in his opinion.

They also have this old Chinese war plane sitting outside in front of the building.

The photographer in me fell in love with the repetition of their displays.

If you think you know the place I'm talking about, leave a comment and if you are right I'll give you 30% off your next portrait session fee.

Winners!

I had so many entries for the free Halloween portrait session that I picked two winners. Congratulations to Debra and Shanna! I look forward to meeting you and your kiddos!

I'll be posting my favorites from these sessions soon...but until then, check out my ghostly cemetery picture to get in you the Halloween mood.

Oooooo, scary sun flare! :-)

Drawing for a Free Portrait Session

Okay all you ghosts and goblins, Halloween is just around the corner. To celebrate this fun time of year, I'm having a drawing for a free Halloween portrait session.

All you have to do is email me at info@marcyjordan.com with your name, contact information and your child's age. The winner will receive a portrait session at the location of my choice, along with one free 8x10 print. I will be drawing randomly on Sunday, October 12, for a winner.

To qualify, your child must be between the ages of 0-12 years old and they must wear their Halloween costume for the photos. I will be posting photos of the winner here on the blog and on the Marcy Jordan Photography website.

Stay tuned to the blog...I'll be announcing my holiday season specials and unveiling this year's holiday cards soon!
