'tis the season...yet again!

i L.O.V.E. December.

Everybody is happier (despite all of the stressful things they have to get done), the weather reminds me of those past holidays all locked up nice and warm in the house with the fam, all the houses are glowing for as far as the eye can see...

but what makes December ESPECIALLY awesome for any photographer are all of the last minute shoots and specials we get to offer all of our past, present and future clients :)nothing warms my heart more than that last wedding shoot of the year, or that last family portrait squeezed in JUST in time for Christmas cards. OR the last minute discounts!!

I just wanted to let everyone know that this December is no different! We have so many incredible shoots booked for this month as well as an incredible offer that's just too hard to refuse!

For anyone who needs a photographer for their wedding, family, senior pictures, etc., if your reserve your event with us BEFORE JANUARY 2010, you will receive a FREE High Resolution CD of all your edited photos WITH copyrights. Did I mention that it would be FREE?? That's a $250 value! All you have to do is reserve your event with us before the New Year (you shoot doesn't have to be by then...just reserved) and you'll automatically get a free high resolution CD of your photos. Now that is a good deal....

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

my confession...

that's it. I'm the WORST blogger in the whole entire world! WORST! I haven't blogged for 4 weeks.

My many apologies go out to those who follow our blog. Please don't give up on us! Keep on reading! We have so many amazing things coming up for you!

So why have I put off blogging for so long, you may ask? Well, I'll tell you my dear friends...

Once upon a time, a perfectionist named Melissa was born. And one day, the beforementioned Melissa, realized that her next blog post was her 100th post!!! That's right! 100! Thus, she knew it had to be big. It had to be spectacular. It had to be off the chains! So what did I do?!

I just didn't do it! I couldn't think of anything that deemed itself worthy for my 100th blog post, so I just kept putting it off, week after week. And now the guilt has finally caught up to me and I know I just have to DO IT! Nothing will ever reach my perfectionist expectations for such a monumental post.

So alas, here we go!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!! We FINALLY got all of our Christmas cards out, and just in time too! We're moving next week! Not too far though, just about 10 minutes away. Why you may ask? Because we bought a HOUSE! :) Yes, yes we're all grown up now. The house is just perfect for us right now, PLUS we're going to be building a studio in it. So get ready world! Folks Photography is taking over Central Cali! :)

So I guess that goes without saying, we're going to be pretty MIA over these next few weeks. On top of our moving, we have multiple weddings to shoot (some requring plane trips :) AND we're finding out the sex of little baby Folks. So we're gonna be pretty jam packed.

But you guys know how much I love you, so no worries. Now that I have that whole "100th post" pressure off my back, I'll be able to post some off-the-heezy wedding photos :)

And because blog posts aren't nearly as cool without pics, here's our Christmas card for 2009! Happy Holidays everyone!

OH and PS. I know I've reminded you all a million times, but if you are reading this and haven't yet reserved your next event with us (family, wedding, engagements, etc.) scurry on over to FolksPhoto.com and reserve your date NOW! Seriously, I'm telling you, we're booking fast! :) Ok, you guys get it. The end....

A Night On The Square

The weekend after Thanksgiving we went to Temple Square with Matt's family. I forgot how gorgeous it was!! Also, we rode the Trax so we wouldn't have to deal with downtown traffic. Talk about a fun ride! The little ones loved it (ok, I did too!)

I'm so glad we had the chance to go see the lights and everything one more year before we move. Here are a few pics from the night



Reina liked the Trax

Isn't the temple GORGEOUS at night?!





Little Brielle being adorable as usual
