Merry Christmas 2008

Check out a high quality version of the slideshow and the gallery here.

To our dear friends & family,
    We hope this holiday greeting finds you healthy & happy this holiday season.  This year, we decided to do our part of "going green" by sending a slideshow video of our 2 daughters in lieu of a traditional card to share with you (we're saving trees and money!).  Audrey is 4 (going on 15) and enjoying pre-K.  She is incredibly fashion orientated (going through 2-3 outfit changes a day) and artsy.  Kaylee is 2 1/2 and fills our house with laughter.  We know she will be the class clown - must take after her father!  The two of them together create a mighty energetic force!

We feel blessed that each and every one of you is in our lives.  Thank you for all your support and encouragement throughout the year.  Have a very merry Christmas!


With love,
* The Moon Clan *
Danny, Janet, Audrey & Kiki

New prices, new packages, new deals

Another (friendly) reminder that all prices will go up in Jan. 2009. For my faithful blog readers (and anyone you refer), you will be given the 2008 rates if you reserve a portrait session by Dec. 31, 2008. The session must be used by Feb. 28, 2009. 

Also, once I have some breathing room, I'll be updating the main site with new portrait packages and recent pictures. Special deals will be posted on the blog only so be sure to check both sites often!

Thanks everyone for your continued support of JMP!

Sneak peek for the Lee family

The Lee family returned for Baby C's 100 day portraits. Even though I just saw her a month ago, she looked so much bigger! Only 100 days old, but she let me know (loud and clear) that she didn't like sitting and that she'd rather take pictures outside. :) 

Sneak peek for the Chua family

Today was a busy busy day starting out with an early morning session with my good friends. I've known them for about 8 years now and I've had the privilege of seeing them get married and have 2 adorable daughters. They are such a fun family and I couldn't get enough of Little J saying "Boogers!" and laughing her head off.  

Sneak peek for the Lai/Yang family

I love that I get to go and play in the park as my job! Ok, I don't really get to play but I get to capture the joy in children's faces as they're playing. Today I went out with 2 little cuties and I was reminded once again of all the little things that matter - the wind blowing through your hair as you swing, the rush of coming down a steep slide, and of course seeing a little boy holding his baby sister. :) 

Sneak peek for the Chans

We spent a cold, cold afternoon at the park yesterday. The chill didn't stop Little L from running around everywhere. She explored every inch of the park, even tasting the gravel, sand and leaves! Here's a sneak peek from the session. 

Let the Holidays Begin!

Yesterday, my friends and I continued our tradition of having our picture taken with Santa at the mall. Yes, I know it's cheesy but we've done it for the past 7 years now so it's my official start of the Holiday season. I love looking at each of the pics and seeing how our lives have progressed. When we started, we were just 3 married friends with no kids. Now, there are 5 kids total and a lot of memories. The talk has changed from gossiping about work life to chatting about tantrums and politics. M & C, I think we're maturing! Or maybe not since we still sit on Santa's lap.
