Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to take a moment on this busy day to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I am so thankful for all of the wonderful people in my life, including you, my incredible clients and blogwatchers. It has been an amazing and successful year for me, and I look forward to having even more fun in 2009! But for right now I'm just going to sit back and relax for a little while, and enjoy being with my family. I can't wait to see the looks on my boys' faces when they are opening their presents tomorrow morning. It truly is more exciting to give than to receive!



I'll be back to work on January 5th. I've got some fun things in store for next year, so stay tuned. See you in 2009!

Holiday Schedule

Jen Marriner Photography will be closed from Wednesday, December 24 thru Sunday, January 4th to celebrate the Christmas and New Years holidays. I am looking forward to a nice long break to spend time with my family. These past few months have been crazy-busy for me and it will be nice to just relax with my husband and kids.

What does this mean for you? First of all it means that I won't be scheduling any portrait sessions for these dates. I also will not be answering my emails and voicemail messages as quickly as I normally do. And I won't be working on any print or album orders placed during this time period until January 5th.

But the good news is that I have a bunch of exciting new things planned for 2009. Be sure to stay tuned!

Changes

I wanted to let everyone know that there are some changes being made to the Jen Marriner Photography website. Some big, some small, and they are happening sooner than I had anticipated (the company that hosts my site is really fast!!). So if you see some funky stuff going on over there (I can already see that I need to change the colors in the logo or change the background color) rest assured that I am working diligently to get everything looking and running as well as it did before. The reason that I'm making these changes will be revealed in a couple of weeks (want a hint? Two words - shopping cart!!).

The biggest impact that this change will have for my current clients is that all of the proofing galleries have been temporarily removed to make way for a new proofing system. I will be working this evening and tomorrow to get the galleries back up for clients who have not yet placed orders from sessions that took place recently. If yours is an older gallery that was already scheduled to be taken down on 1/1/09, it will be put back up by request only.

Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for bearing with me while I get these changes made!

Mush Brain

I can't believe I forgot to post this sneak peek! That's what Thankgiving mayhem will do to you, I guess. Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this lovely young lady, her parents and their two rambunctious dogs. I don't think I've ever seen a dog jump as high as this little guy did!!

Christmas is coming!

Hey folks, I just wanted to let you know that Christmas deadlines are coming up fast! If you would like to order prints from your portrait session for Christmas gifts, your order must be received no later than Wednesday, December 10th to guarantee delivery by Christmas Eve. Also, orders for Christmas cards need to be placed by this Friday, December 5th for delivery by December 19th (giving you enough time to mail them).

Please let me know if you have any questions!
