Just to keep everyone updated.................

I am so close to being completely caught up on editing.  It's a wonderful feeling!  I'm going to be out of town for a long weekend so if I for some reason do not get you up before tomorrow, you will be up on Monday.  I will also be starting the card assembly process on Monday.  I will go in the order that I receive requests.  I will also let you know when your sample is up so that we can finalize your order but I do not foresee it taking longer than a week to get all cards done and okayed.  Remember that I need all requests for cards in by November 17th. 

I have added a package buying feature online!!  I'm so excited!  This is a great way to save on packages for you and family and friends for the holidays.  Remember if you had a mini session with me, you have a special discount that will expire on November 30th.  There is no exception to this!

If you want to use one of your pictures in a card but do not want to wait on me to "get it together" please take advantage of my digital options in the post below.

As always, text or message or email me with any questions!  Just remember that this weekend I will be enjoying the windy city with my family and will be away from my computer. 


Thanks so much for the business and patience and love this holiday season!!!!!!  

Card Pricing ~

All Cards this year will be the paper cards printed on front/back textured paper.  All cards come in sets of 25, there is not a different option for this.  The more cards you order, the less each card costs.  When making your selection, please pick no more than two cards for me to make samples for you.  Each card takes a lot of time and if I think another card might work better or look better with your pictures, I will let you know.  If you chose two and I think one is much better than the other, I will create it first before doing both options.  If you aren't sure, just ask me and I will pick for you.  :)  Some things on the cards can be changed but some things CAN NOT.  Please keep this in mind when choosing your card.  If you just can not find something that I offer that you love, you may want to consider one of my digital options below and you can then create your own card using a different card site such as Tiny Prints or Minted.




PRICING ~

25 paper cards ~ $50
50 paper cards ~ $90
75 paper cards ~ $130
100 paper cards ~ $170
125 paper cards ~ $210
150 paper cards ~ $240



DIGITAL OPTIONS ~

1 file ~ $50
2 files ~ $75
3 files ~ $100
4 files ~ $125

The full gallery ~ $275
 





Please remember that if you order by November 30th you can apply your mini session discount.  This is for mini session customers only. 

2014 Card Designs

Special note, some of these cards appear to have foil embossed details, but they do NOT, it is all just the print colors to give the look of foil.  I don't want anyone to be confused.

 

Jackson Area Minis!!!! This weekend..............

OK tomorrow morning I will be in Canton on the square.  Please meet me near the Subway restaurant on the square.  Tomorrow afternoon, I will be at the Natchez Trace welcome center (the OLD craft cabin).  IF you are not familiar with that area, it's best to take either Rice Road or Hwy 51 in Ridgeland and you will see the brown signs for the Natchez Trace - follow those or text me at 601-260-5069.  Sunday, I will be at the Trace all day.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check the blog schedule to verify your time and make sure I have everything correct.  I do make mistakes sometimes!! 

Sessions this weekend (Oct 10th, 11th, 12th)

Today we will be at the Fair in Jackson.  I will be near the trade mart so park there and look for me there.  I like to use the food booths and game booths as back drops.  If your name is NOT on my list below but you signed up and paid for a session, please text me and let me know!  Sometimes I miss putting people down and I don't want to miss YOU.

Tomorrow morning I will be in Canton shooting several regular sessions on the square.  Look for me near the Subway restaurant before noon and after noon, look for me near la di da's.  As always, text or call me at 601-260-5069 if you have any trouble!  Sunday, I will be in Tunica doing some regular sessions as well. 

Finally, next weekend's minis in DeSoto are going to be at the Merry Christmas Tree Farm off Getwell Road.  Very excited about this location!  I will have more info this week.  I've had a lot of people message me this week about Christmas sessions and right now I am basically just slammed.  I am considering doing some the week of Thanksgiving - like that Sunday, Monday, Tuesday before.  If you are still in need of a Holiday sitting, please email me at maurihartphotography1@yahoo.com.  I will see what I can do for you!!!!!

Summer Special!!! And other news!

10% off online print orders ~ use the coupon code DISCOUNT10 at checkout.  There is no minimum order for this coupon.  This sale will last thru June.  If you would like to take part in the sale and the shopping function hasn't been added to your gallery, just text me at 601-260-5069 and I'll switch you over.

ALSO ~ Old gallery download sale - want to own an archive download of your old proof gallery?  All galleries shot before 2014 are on sale for $150 (they are regularly priced at $225 and will NEVER be lower than $150).  This must be purchased thru me - not online.  Please email me if you would like to buy an old gallery.  I have started weeding out old galleries again online.  If you want to purchase an old gallery and can not find it, just let me know.  I will be taking down everything before this year over the summer months.


And FINALLY, I'll be in Jackson the weekend of June 21st and 22nd.  Please let me know ASAP if you would like to book a session for that weekend.  I will also be at the beach over Memorial Day weekend (30A area), I have a few morning session times available.  Message me for more details!!!

Easter Proofs

Easter proofing is finally starting to go smoothly and I was able to get a lot of galleries up today.  I should be close to finishing tomorrow and whoever is not up tomorrow should be up by the end of the weekend.  Remember that if you order online, you can use the coupon EASTER2014 to apply your $25 off credit for orders over $100.  If you'd rather me do it, again, just email me like always.  I've had a lot of regular sessions this week and a few newborns so it's been hectic to say the least!!!  If you are looking to book a spring session with me ~ ESPECIALLY in the Jackson area, please contact me ASAP.  I have one day that I know I'll be there and I will have very limited availability.  I will be there more starting in June.

Remember to place your Easter orders by April 20th {EASTER DAY} in order to use your mini credit.  Thanks so much guys!!!

Let me know if you have any problems and ALSO, summer mini sessions - I am trying to come up with something fun to do in June.  If you have ideas, please share!!!!  Thanks!

Easter mini galleries....

Easter galleries are starting to go up!  They will all be shopping cart enabled.  To get your $25 print credit use the coupon code EASTER2014.  Code is only good on orders of $100 or more.  This code will expire on April 20th.  If your gallery goes up late for some reason, your coupon code will be extended a few days.  Let me know if you guys have ANY problems!!!! 

EXCITING NEWS ABOUT ORDERING!!!!!

I am so happy to announce that I will have the option to place orders directly from my website now.  This will make things so much easier for you and me!!   I am still somewhat in testing mode for the new method so please be patient while I work out the kinks.  From now on, all NEW galleries will have the option to do online ordering ~ old galleries will, too, but they may not be activated yet.  If you want to continue emailing me with your order, that is fine, too.  Prints will be sent directly to you and you can also purchase digital images or galleries online as well.

As a promotion to test this out and see how it all works I am offering a coupon code that will be good until April 8th on the website.  If you would like to use the coupon code on an old gallery and the shopping function has not been turned on yet, just message me or email me and I"ll go in and do that for you on the gallery you want to order pictures from.  I would LOVE to see how you guys like the new system and to get feedback. 

SPRING15 is the coupon code and is good for 15% off your order ~ there is NO minimum order requirement!!! 

SLIGHT Location CHANGE...

MEET ME ON MY MOM'S FRONT PORCH!!  ALL IS SET UP AND SO CUTE!  TOO MUDDY ON THE LAKE LOT.  103 SAVANNAH BEND, MADISON

I told you guys that I would post directions tonight.  I had originally thought that we would do them at the Lake Caroline nature area/playground, but have decided instead to do them on my parents' lake lot (still in Lake Caroline).

Use this address for your GPS ~ 103 Savannah Bend, Madison, MS

From Stribling Road ~

Take the Camden Crossing entrance (not Caroline Blvd) ~ DO NOT TAKE GARY STREET.  This is wrong on GPS.

Camden Crossing to Caroline Crossing (you will take a right onto Caroline Crossing)

Go thru 2 stop signs and then take a left on Hampton Crossing (this road goes by nature area/walking trail/playground)

Go around and turn/veer/curve right onto Caroline Blvd.

Take a left onto Lake Ridge.

Take a right onto Savannah Bend.  You will see two empty lots on your right (just past a two story home).  I will be there with everything set up.  Please pull in on the gravel drive but do NOT PARK THERE.  Park on the grass in the lot.  The gravel drive is a neighbor's and I do not want to block their driveway during mini sessions.


My CELL 601-260-5069


I will still be watching the weather and checking ground conditions.  If it's too wet, I'll post to FB and here and we will go to the yellow clubhouse.

Mini location and other information.....

Location for minis in Madison this weekend will be out at Lake Caroline.  I will be at the nature walk/playground area that is near the Hamptons.  I will post specific directions HERE on Thursday.  Please check back for that info.  If it rains ~ and it looks like it may on Friday ~ we will move the sessions over to the yellow clubhouse (near the Mermaid Cafe) and use the covered porch there.  I will put updates here and on Facebook as the day progresses but please feel free to text me on Friday if you want a quick answer.  Remember that there are NO outfit changes during mini sessions and that if you are late for the session, your session is cut short so please try to be early.  If you are early please give the person ahead of you space and do not come "watch" or "help" them in any way.  I will signal to you when it is time for you to get started.  It generally takes me about 10-15 minutes to get what I need so there is a little extra time worked in for getting settled, saying hi and making the transition. 

Let me know if you have any questions and look for the directions on Thursday.  I need to make sure I have all the street names correct.

Thanks!
Mauri

Sunday's Desoto Minis....

The sessions will be at Charleston Rowe in Hernando.   It is off 51 in Hernando.  If you put Ferguson Road on your GPS, you will find it.  Text me if you need more specific directions.

Also, the setup will have springy colors, but I will also have a set up area with more neutrals so if your outfits clash or don't match exactly, we will have an option. 



REMEMBER~~  THIS IS ALL VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!  These are MINI sessions and last JUST 20 minutes.  Your session starts promptly at the time you are assigned to.  If you arrive late, your session will be shorter, if you arrive 20 minutes late, you will not get a session at all.  I will NOT force another child/children/family to wait because of other clients.  ALSO, remember if you get there early, it is quite acceptable to get out of your car and gather your children/things, fix hair, put clothes on them, etc. but remember that if another session is in progress, please keep your children back and do not "hover" while the family ahead of you is having their pictures made.  It is very distracting for me and the other kids.  IF your child has a hard time during the session, it is best to back off a bit and let me talk to him/her/them.  And, while I know extended family members are sometimes needed to come along to corral kids or help with babies, if at all possible, please try not to bring a huge crowd along with you to "watch" the session.  Again, it's very distracting.  There are absolutely NO outfit changes at mini sessions.  There is not enough time.  Sorry for all the rules, I just want for things to run smoothly and for you guys to get great pics!!!


MAKEUP DATE for Sunday, March 23rd will be April 13th.  Please watch the weather and I will let you know if we need to make up.

Spring Special!!!!

I'm so very excited that spring is on its way!  This winter has been pretty cold for us in Mississippi ~ BLAH.  I am ready for green and color to come back and stay for a while.  In celebration of spring returning, I'm running a 10% off sale on all prints and digital downloads.  This helps me out tremendously because lots of sessions start happening in March and this is a great way to get all my winter orders taken care of before that!!  Here's the details!!!

~ 10% off print orders of $100 or more
~ 10% off all full gallery digital downloads
~ 15% off prints/digitals if you are on a yearly plan
~ Print orders over $250 receive the discount PLUS free shipping


HURRY!  The spring special will end on March 20th.  All orders and payments must be made by March 20th at 6pm in order to qualify.


 FINALLY ~ I have all weekends completely booked until June.  If you are needing a regular session or plan session, please get with me ASAP to get on the calendar.  This is a crazy busy time of the year and I don't want anyone to miss out on a session!!


  

Easter/Spring Mini Schedule.....

I'm changing it up slightly from my last post......Session fee for minis is $65 and includes a $25 credit on all orders of $100 or more placed by April 20th.  The setup will be a classic/portrait set up with an antique chair and some baskets/flowers.  Please message me for any other questions!!!  Thanks guys!!!
