Valentine’s Day Mini Sessions! {Orange County Portrait Photographer}

I am excited to announce my second ever mini session event! I’ve had a lot of requests for me to offer mini sessions again, and I thought Valentine’s Day would be the perfect time!  These mini sessions will be, well a “mini version” of a regular session with me, only lasting 20 minutes. You will then be presented with an online gallery with 10-15 proofed images for your viewing pleasure. I have created a special package just for the Valentine Holiday which includes:

-25 custom valentine’s day cards to sent to family and friends

-30 custom mini valentine’s day cards for your child to hand out at school **how FUN would it be for them to hand out custom valentine’s with THEIR own photo on them?!

-5×10 custom “LOVE” desktop collage *perfect for your desk at work (or a surprise for mom, dad or grandparents!)

Sessions will be offered one day only…Sunday, January 24th! Only 8 sessions are available so contact me to reserve your session right away! Either email me at: info@melissalynphotography.com or call me at 949-433-0975

A few more details:

-This mini session is intended for children, not family or newborn sessions

-Due to the nature of mini sessions, babies must be able to sit independently, with out toppling over

-Images from the session will be posted within a couple of days. Orders must be placed by Friday, January 29th to ensure delivery before Valentine’s day.

Merry Christmas! (And an update)

First of all, I just wanted to give everyone an update on what has been going on here the last few days. I just got out of the hospital (kidney stones-OUCH!) and the day after I got home we ended up unexpectedly moving into our new home! So things have been very crazy around here to say the least. If you have recently placed an order or have emailed me, I will respond to everyone shortly. My computer still has to be set up all the way and I have limited access to email at the moment. So thank you to everyone in advance for your patience! :)

And at last: MERRY CHRISTMAS! I wanted to thank all of my fabulous clients for such an incredible year! I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. Here are a few photos from our holiday card and some extra ones of my little man Landon that didn’t make the card.

Important Update for all Clients

Due to the Holiday Season officially here, I need to make an important change to ensure all holiday orders are completed on time.

To all current and future clients: Please note that all online proofing galleries will now expire after 14 days. This means that your online gallery will no longer be online for 45 days, but for 2 weeks.  All orders must be placed before your gallery expires to avoid a reactivation fee of $45.00, so please be prepared to place your order during the 14-day period when your gallery is posted.  This is strictly to maintain a speedy workflow and to help prevent backlogging for other clients. You do have the option to sign up for an automatic email reminder of when your gallery is getting close to the expiration date, SO PLEASE USE THIS OPTION. :) (it is in your proofing gallery on the home page)

Thank you for understanding.
