and the winner is...

after a LOT of voting (THANKS GUYS!!!) and much intense discussion and debate, we've decided on a logo winner. Millions of -thank you's- to all of you who helped us out with this! We love you <3

i love presents!

I just can't help it. As soon as December hits, I just want to spread a whole lota cheer in the form of PRESENTS!

Well...discounts in this case :)

So here's a new one for all you younger clientele out there that we love just as much (if not more :)


For a limited time, Folks Photography would like to offer 5 absolutely FREE Senior Portrait Sessions. Seriously. Free. Why are we doing this you ask? 

Well, we know how expensive these things can cost, and we want to be able to help a few families out in the area.

So what's the catch? Well, here's what we're asking for:

1. We ask that all FREE sessions are taken in Santa Maria or Lompoc. Either city is fine, we just can't afford to drive down to LA on our dollar.
2. We would like the lucky high school seniors who are selected by Folks Photography to act as our "High School Reps." This consists of just getting the word out about our business, our work, and our REALLY cheap pricing.
3. We're only accepting 5 high school seniors for this LIMITED TIME offer. The offer expires FEBRUARY 1, 2010. So if you would like your Senior Portrait Session, RESERVE YOUR DATE FAST! These slots will be filled quickly!

And that's it! Pinky swear :) Visit FolksPhoto.com to learn more about us!

To sign up for your FREE Senior Portrait Session, please email MelissaFolks@FolksPhoto.com
Please include your:
Name
Age
High School
City
Phone Number

And that's it! The first 5 emails I get will receive a free session INCLUDING a high-resolution CD of all the edited photos with copyright releases!

Let the emailing begin!!

And just a reminder, for all other clients out there, we got somethin' hot n' spicy for you too! Reserve your next event with us by January 1, 2010 and you'll receive a FREE high-resolution CD of all your edited photos, complete with copyright release! All you have to do is RESERVE by January 1st-- your event can be later :)

Logos, Take 2!

Ok, so the preliminaries are over. As a result of your amazing votes, we've narrowed it down to 6 (ok, give me a break, that's about half of what I posted yesterday...6 is a good number, right?!) AND I got a great suggestion to put those logos on a photo so that you guys can see the final product easier.

You guys are brilliant. What can I say ? :)

Anyway, so here are the final 6! If you've already voted, feel free to vote again. Now that it's on the photo, you might change your mind. Ya never know!

Due to our extremely busy schedule over the next week, I'm going to leave the voting open until we get finished with all of our shoots and get transitioned from one house to another. So we'll probably decide on our brand new logo by the end of next week (with your help, of course...). Spread the word until then! We would love all the input we can get!

PS. Just so we stay consistent, I've numbered the logos the same as from our last logo post :)

...and a Happy New Year!

Ok, no, I'm not just skipping over Christmas. Don't you worry. I'll be Christmas-ing it up just dandy this year! :)

However, I would like to give all of our blog followers a little heads up about some of the changes we will be making with Folks Photography come 2010! This will include our colors, our blog, our website, AND last but definitely not least, our LOGO! Awwwwww YEAH, that's right! You heard me!

Since we're going to be super, mega busy over the next few weeks with all of our last minute shoots as well as our moving to our new house, I thought I would get a head start on what I deemed our "Logo Vote-a-Thon". Kind of has a ring to it, don't you think ? :)

Anyway, here's how it works. I've posted all of our new, possible logo options below. And we are allowing you, to honor your for being such amazing blog followers and committed clients, (and because we just love ya so dang much!) to VOTE on your fave logo!

And please do vote! Seriously...I'm so indecisive. I NEED you! Please only vote on your very very favorite, but if you HAVE to have 2 favorites, go right ahead :) But no 3-zies. If you vote on 3, I'll just never be able to make up my mind :)

We love you guys a ton! Don't forget about our AMAZING discount going on right now! For more info, visit FolksPhoto.com or contact me!

So here we go! Time to get your vote on! (Just leave your fave # in the comment section, pretty please!! :)
