Mark your calendars! January 29th I’m doing Valentine’s mini-sessions!

The fine print: These sessions are for children only and will take place in the afternoon at the Happy Cow Farm in South Austin (off of Brodie, south of Slaughter). You will receive a link to view your four proofs on January 31st. To receive your free set of wallets (eight of the same pose), and to receive discounts on print products, all orders must be placed by February 6, 2011. Orders placed after that time will be subject to shipping charges and billed at the regular rate. All photographic prints (excluding Canvas) are on sale for 50% off (for this event only). Press printed valentines cards are on sale for $50 per set of 25 (regularly $75). I have adorable V-Day designs to choose from that I will share in your viewing gallery. I am suggesting a $10 cash donation, however, leave it to your discretion. 100% of the donations from this event will be split between my two favorite charities: Austin Pets Alive and the Capital Area Food Bank.

To reserve your session, please E-MAIL me mariah@mariahmilan.com and note that you want availability for the Valentine’s Special on the 29th.

And the other big news???? My new logo is up…. but that’s not all…

The Dagupion ‘Ohana is heading home to MAUI

Join me on Maui for some awesome beach photography! We’ll be there July 27 to August 17th – no travel fees are added and I’ll be creating some very special session pricing for while we’re there.

Fast forward FIVE YEARS. Yes…. FIVE YEARS. I get a phone call, “This is Rick. I don’t know if you remember us… but we got married on Maui in 2005…You did our Maui wedding photography.” Yes! I remember every single client. Even ones from waaaaaay back.

Chary and Rick had never chosen images for their wedding album so I was excited to get this project going for them. I pulled their images from the archive and got to work on their Couture Wedding book. It was like stepping back in time remembering moments of their big day.  The wedding album just arrived today and will be heading out to California on Monday.

A little side note: Chary & Rick’s file has sat in my pending box the longest of any other client. We had a fun little ceremony today removing it to the “completed” section of work.

There are still some couples and families that have their files in my “pending” box. It’s never too late to get your project going. Please also remember that Couture Books are an amazing album company. Aside from being a “Green” album supplier, they also donate a portion of the proceeds of every book toward certain charities. I absolutely love this company!

I took the weekend off to celebrate Halloween and my husband’s birthday – so I’m back to work this week with some great sessions coming up and lots of editing to catch up on. Here is more from Justin and Leighanna’s gorgeous wedding on Maui on October 10th. I still have more to edit. And they have been soooo patient with me. Love them…. really… my clients are just the most awesome people. I am so happy that many of you have become my friends as well.

Okay… onto the gorgeousness!

The bridal party was really awesome!

All of the above images were taken at their friends taro farm. The light was magical. The love in the air was palpable.

And then we walked over to the creek where Justin played as a child. It’s so neat that they got to get married in such a special place.

See?? Magic, right?

Hope you all are enjoying these teasers. More to come!

XOXO, Mariah
