Digital File Order | Walk Through

Now that I have more and more clients that live far away, it's a lot harder to get together and pick out photos for their CD's. But I have good news! This week I've been working on a new product for my website: digital file ordering online! Now you can order straight from your gallery at your convenience. Yes, I know, why didn't I do this sooner?
It can be a little tricky trying to order online (even for me, and I set it up!), so I created this walk through to help keep everything as simple as possible.

First things first, enter your gallery!

After you have entered your gallery (and decided which photos you would like on your disk), 
click on the 'Select Photos' tab.


Then, select your photos!*
*Digital files are available through certain packages offered by Macy Lynn Photography. These packages include disks with a pre-determined number of photos. Please contact me with any inquiries or questions.


After you have selected your photos, hover over the 'Shopping Cart/Buy' tab. A drop down menu will appear. Click on 'Select Product for __ Photos'.


A new window will appear. Choose the 'Digital Files' option.


You will be taken to yet another menu, where you will click 'Select'.


Next you will review the photos that will be on your disk. If everything looks good, continue on by clicking 'Save to Cart'


Next, click on 'Checkout Now'


You now have the option of becoming a registered user, or simply checking out as a guest.



Now you will enter your information and check out like you would on any other site. There will be a one dollar charge for shipping and handling. If you have any problems or questions, please email me at:
macylynnphoto@yahoo.com
or find me on Facebook.

Thanks! 

If your package did not include a disk, but you are interested in purchasing one, please contact me for details on how to get your disk in the mail!

Ryan and Lauren Are Engaged!


In 2013, 3 of my best friends got engaged, and guess who they asked to photograph their weddings? That's right. ME! I feel so blessed and even more excited. Nothing makes me happier than capturing the special moments in people's lives, and now I get to do it for some of the most special people in mine. 

This past weekend Tyler and I braved the weather and drove back to Stronghurst to do our first of our 2014 engagement sessions. The roads were a scary, but our faithful little car got us there safely.
 It was a cold day for pictures, and we thought we might loose a couple fingers or toes, but we survived and the result was so worth it, don't you think?
 But how could they not, when you have beautiful people to photograph.




It was a bright snowy day, which was perfect for some black and white beauties!







One of my favorite things about photographing couples is seeing the way they look at each other.






And of course, the obligatory best friend picture (I can't let Ryan have all the fun).




Last, but certainly not least, I just had to include a photo of Lauren's precious rescue puppy, Maggie!



That pup knows how to work the camera. 

Congratulations guys, I can't wait for your wedding in August!

Family Session with the family!

Whew, it's been a busy month! But I finally have some time to update the blog. :) Since I last checked in, I've done several shoots, one of them was a family session for my brother and sister [in-law]. 

I love the pictures that capture your true personality!


And like my sister in law said, "Somehow the imperfect, is perfect."
Just look at that pout!


Each of the older kids got to do a funny picture, I think they were my favorite!






Of course with the younger ones, you just have to be patient and wait for that perfect moment. 




It was a fun day that began with quoting The Avengers with my nephews and ended with frisbee in the park. 
Days like this are why I love my job!

My First Maternity Session

This beautiful mommy-to-be let me capture her sweet baby bump!

We had to pull over on the side of the road to get some pictures in this incredible field we found on the side of the interstate. It was so worth it!



Then, McKenzie suggested going to a pond for some breathtaking photos. It was so brave of her, especially considering she had to walk through pond scum! 




I never imagined how much I would enjoy doing maternity photos. I simply cannot wait until my next session!

Through the years *Part II*

I have had the pleasure of photographing my dear friends Jeremy and Emily twice. The first time they had just recently began dating, the second time they were nearing their year anniversary!

These are not only the first pictures I took of J & E, but also some of the first pictures that I ever took.

Then...






This couple was and is such a joy to work with!

And now...




Thank you again for letting me be a part of your lives!

Through the years...

I have been blessed with the honor of photographing one of my closest friend's daughters since she was 6 months old. I hope that I get to continue to photograph as she grows! 

6 Months


9 Months


1 Year


18 Months


I simply cannot wait to do her 2 year pictures! :) Thank you, Jessica, for letting me be a part of your lives. 


A few more favorites from their last visit:


Breakfast is better with powdered sugar!



And of course, breakfast has to be followed by playing in the dog crate!



And what's more fun than Macemee's "sunglasses"?


And no visit is complete without a trip to the lake:



One last romp at the park before heading home!




Look! They have a splash pad! 




 


I wish I could share all of the pictures from that weekend, but I'm afraid I've already written too long of a post. :)
