I “liked” MCP’s Fan Page (does this count since I did this a while ago? I sure hope so)!

I love your blog! I check it religiously! Thanks for posting, I know it’s not always easy to keep it up, but I thoroughly enjoy it. Your work is an inspiration.

I liked her on FB!

I would love to have anything on her site, but if I had to pick it would be the quickie collection and or the bag of tricks

I would love love love to win this!!!!! I haven’t purchased any actions yet because I am brand new to ps, just got cs3… I think I would start with the complete work flow… but they all look great!!!

I’ve Liked MCP on FB

Here’s the question I’d love to be answered because I can’t figure it out myself.

All my outside pictures seem to be too blue. I do set my white balance according to whether I’m in the shade, etc. I use a Canon 40D with a 50mm 1.4 lens. I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong.

I would love to get the Quickie Collection!

I “like” MCP Actions on FB…always have.

I “like” MCP actions! I would get the bag of tricks. Loooove what it did to your SOOC! I would like to know if you batch process or individually. I do individual processing and would like to speed up the workflow without losing the final result. Thanks!

I would love to see you make a post on the way you (personally) achieve the beautiful light in all your photographs. You always manage to catch and create the most dramatic light! Especially in your Taylor & Amanda- Seniors… 2011 shoot! How did ya do it?

I would purchase All in the Details!

I would like to know more about how you achieve such great lighting in your pictures.

I would probably buy the bag of tricks and quickie collection

Lately I have really loved your later in the evening shoots. The sun looks super amazing. What time in the evening are you usually shooting to achieve this looks?

I would get the bag of tricks.. It would be the perfect addition to my small collection. She has so many fabulous ones to choose from!

I would probably start with the “Bag of Tricks”, it just a good all around use set of actions.

“Liked” MCP Actions on FB!

I have the bag of tricks and magic skin sets. I really want the blog it boards now.

I would love to know what actions are you favorites.

I have had the “bag of tricks” on my wish list for a while now, I’ve just been waiting for the extra cash! This would so make my year to win this!

I would love to purchase either the blog it board actions or the frosted memories action set. They would compliment the actions I currently have perfectly! Thanks.

I’d love to get “all in the details” actions! Love the edits above.

A question I have for Angie is how do you go about finding your amazing locations? LOVE LOVE LOVE your work. So inspirational.

I like MCP Actions on FB….always have…always will!!

I would like to have Angie answer tons of questions, but if I had to pick one, I would like to know how you get your photos so crisp, clear, and vibrant. They are crystal clear and I just can’t figure it out. Thanks, hope you use that one, I would really love to know. Your work is fabulous.

Liked it on face book.

I would definately get Bag of Tricks but of course I’ve been eyeing Quickie Collection and also All in the Details. And oh wait, Magic Skin too. Hopefully in the near future I will have all of them even if I don’t win this awesome giveaway. Thanks for doing this.

I would like to know how you develop an “eye” for great locations. Scouting the light, textures, everything? Can you just drive by somewhere and say “that would make an awesome location?” or does it help to see that location during the great sunlight to REALLY be able to tell if it would work or not?

liked on facebook!

‘Liked’ on facebook!

this is so hard because i have read and learned so much great stuff already. i guess how to be professional with out being to “i am working” like at events with guest, especially grandparents who want you to talk and eat.

I’m a LIKE on FB!

Bag o’ Tricks!!!

I’d love to hear about CONTRAST! How do you achieve such rich contrast without going overboard on skin tones, colors, etc?

I also “like” MCP actions on facebook

I love MCP Actions. I would probably purchase the quickie collection, Eye doctor and dentist, or the finish it action!

I LOVE MCP Actions! Jodi is a genius! I would definitely buy the Bag of Tricks Set. I’ve had my eye on that one for a long time.

Photo question:
How do you get your clients to relax? Especially those ages around 6-10 where they have their fake, cheesy smile. My daughter is 7 and I just can’t get her to be natural. But my 4 YO is a pro.

Question: Who styles the clothes for your clients?

I like them on Facebook!

Love MCP actions:) I think I would purchase the Quickie collection as I do not have that one yet.

I “like” MCP on Facebook.

Any tips or tricks are always fun to read about.

I’m already a fan on facebook

I have been a “like” of MCP for some time now and love reading the posts and images that come from them.

I would love to have the Bag of Tricks Set.

Mmmmm… I think I would totally put it towards some of the Essentials. Not sure which one yet! Ideally, I would get them all. No joke.

I would love the finishing actions.

How do get your clients to order BIG?

Bag of tricks for sure. or the quickie collection.

My question to the photographer would be… what is your secret to getting familys comfortable with you? and how long do you typically spend with them during a session?

First of all, love the photo. So funny! Twins can have such absolute different personalities! As a mom of twins, I would love to see Jodi edit two pictures: one of each of her twins in a way that would match her own personality!

If I could find out one of your secrets it would be how to do your black and whites. I love the coloring of them and so wish I knew the secret recipe for that.

Bag of Tricks has been on my wishlist for a LONG time!

I would love to have you talk all about lighting…
What times of day do you shoot to create that gold sunlight look?
What do you do if sunset is past a clients bedtime?
What specific lighting setup do you have in your studio?
Do you prefer to shoot in open shade or sun?

Thanks!

I would love the Bag of Tricks! It has a perfect mix of everything!

How do you get children to look like dolls? Their skin looks so perfect and their eyes look like marbles! You are amazing!

I am a fan of MCP on facebook.

Without a doubt, the Quickie Collection is the collection I would purchase with the gc! Great contest .

MCP actions are so amazing. I have been drooling over these packages for months and months. Wish I had about 500.00 to spend on actions. But I would take the 100. Just starting out in photography. Love to see how people see the world.

I also want to know how the people looks so soft and sweet and clear at the same time. Love the composition of your pictures. You get it all the shot. I study them. Composition seems to be the thing I think about the most. Also the back grounds that I have to work with. Bleck. I need to get out some where.

I would like you to walk us thru your entire process – from the minute you get the call to the time you hand them your photos. Is that a lot to ask?

Bag of tricks for sure! I have had my eyes on it for a while now!

I would get the Bag of Tricks…love her Blog it Boards! and her classes are awesome too!

my question is about metering. What metering mode do you use and do you over expose a bit? (on purpose) How do you work exposing when say one person is wearing a white shirt and another person a black shirt in the same picture?
I love your style btw!

I’ve been wanting the Bag of Tricks actions for a while now! Would love to win!

I “liked” MCP’s Actions Fan Page….one of my fav FB pages!

What is your average editing time on a session? For example how many hours of editing would you have for one hour of shooting?

I’ve “liked” MCP Actions on FB!!

LOVE MCP! I would most likely buy bag of tricks

How do you find all these awesome props?
What tricks do you use to get the people to show their real selves, real smiles, etc…?

Been a “liker” of MCP on FB for quite a while…more like a “stalker”!!

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have the All in the Details action set!!!!!

My question for angie would be about processing — what’s your most-used tool for getting that unbelievable rich color in your photos?

I have already connected with MCP on facebook a while ago! “Like” has been done.

My Question – how do you use a reflector/diffuser? I struggle with that.

I love “All In Details” action set.It brings so much interesting colors and textures to photographs.

I already LIKE MCP on Facebook Does that count?

I have put “Bag of Tricks” on my Christmas list and would love it if I could purchase before then

Question: workflow! You must get this a lot. I don’t use Lightroom, I start in ACR and then move into Photoshop. I would love to hear your workflow and average editing times (plus any time saving tips!). Thanks so much!

I would buy the bag of tricks!

I would love to have the bag of tricks action set! Very cool

With so many actions to choose from, how do you define your style? Or does it constantly change with all the actions you have to choose from. Should a photographer gravitate to a certain style of actions to help define his/her work or should that style only come from the way photographs are taken?

I would like more information on tips on dealing with less than favorable weather conditions.

I would love the Quickie collection! I already have & LOVE the bag o’ tricks.

I would like to hear your thoughts on working WITH the sun as opposed to having it work against you.

Already a fan on facebook!

Your subjects look so natural and comfortable. I sometimes have a hard time getting people to let go of that fake smile, you know? My question would be this: What tricks do you have for ways to act and things to say to put your clients at ease and let their personalities shine through?

I’d like to know more post processing tips and how to handle low light problems..I use a Nikon D200 and can’t seem to move my ISO up without the picture looking bad.

I would love to know what your favorite lens is when shooting families/children and why?

How do you correct your exposure? Shooting on a brigh day sometimes I blow out highlights and I am able to correct it most of the time, but I am wondering what other’s do for this. I currently use PS CS3. It would also be great information just in case I need it to know how to lighten up shadows in low key portraits.

I would like the eye doctor and dentist set. Michelle Hockman

bag of tricks! getting into more portraits and could really save time

I already like MCP on FB!

I would love to have Bag of Tricks! That’s what I would get if I want the gift certificate.

I would love the bag of tricks actions, or the all in the details or the quickie actions!! It’s difficult to choose they seem all great!

I would definitely like a guest post about posing ideas, something I struggle with. I love your templates!

I’ve been lusting after the I Want It All package for well over a year now!! I’m not a professional photographer, so I can’t quite bring myself to buy them. I’ve started saving up and that package will be a special treat I give myself…a $100 gift certificate would be awesome!!! I’ve been a fan of MCP Actions for a while, but if there was a really, really, really like button on facbook, I would click on it! As far as a photography question, my biggest one is: How do you get everyone to cooperate?? I have three children and just to get them in the same general area seems to take major effort.

I would love to try the Bag of Tricks! There are so many I want to try it is hard to choose!

I ‘like’ MCP actions on FB!

I LIKE MCP ACTIONS!!! OH YA!

I’ve had my eye on the Bag of Tricks collection.

I’m a fan on facebook!

3rd Post: My question is: In the action set “Complete Workflow Photoshop Actions”, when you use the “take my color away” on persons who have light colored hair and features, why does it not look as “striking” as using it on someone who has dark hair? Is there any instruction you can give me to make this happen? Thanks so much! I love your actions and would love to own them all!!

I “liked” MCP’s Fan Page

I am also a fb fan

OMG! I have been wanting MCP Bag Of Tricks for sooooo long! This would be awesome to win!

I am a long time LIKER of MCP on Facebook ;0D

I always struggle with finding the right light! It seems I find a couple little spots that are perfect when I am out on a shoot but it is rarely where I am wanting to shoot at the whole time. The eyes I like to be lit, but it isn’t always possible even in post to get that perfect lit look. So I end up using fill flash which makes that little circle of light which gives away that flash was involved. So a tutorial on finding perfect natural light do’s and don’ts would be GREAT!

I ‘liked’ MCP Actions on Facebook

I “like” mcp on fb!

I have a couple of MCP action, if I were to win I would get the bag of tricks.

I would buy the Blog it Boards. I am SO excited that they are now offered for PSE and have been dieing to buy them!!

I would love to have the bag of tricks set!

(2nd) To perfectly honest, I’d buy the “I want it all”. I’ve had it on my wish list for awhile now ever since trying a few out.

I would love to see a blog post on different lenses. Maybe she could show different phots taken with different lenses. I am torn on what lens I need to buy next so I think that would be a helpful post (for me anyways!)

would love the blog it boards!

i “like” mcp on facebook

I would love All in the Details!

do a topic on poses esp for a family with several kids. i find 1, 2, and 3 to be fairly easy but 4 and 5 kids gets difficult….

(3rd) I would love to know more about how you light your studio and best placements of lighting – LOVE your work and the effects you get.

Hi I would love to see a discussion on using alien skins bokeh software in replacement of using actual lens to save on cost. Do you feel that is takes the art out of pphotography or gives it more a graphic design feel.

I would get the Complete Workflow and Tell a Storyboard Action Sets! I’m just starting out so these would be WONDERFUL to win!!!

And of course I already “like” them on FB!

I like MCP on Facebook!

I would totally get the bag of tricks – it’s been on my wishlist forever!

I would definitely like to see more posing tips/tricks (maybe a video?) This is my greatest struggle.

i am also a fan of MCP on fb!

Question to ask: how does she feel about all these new and aspiring pro photographers?

thanks

Since the chances are I won’t be winning, do I really have to choose one? i love her actions, complete workflow, bag of tricks, any of the formats. Oh, to be so lucky to have to choose.

I’m a fan on facebook.

I “like” mcp’s facebook page have for a while now!

Oooh, I want the Quickie Collection!!!! But I would love to have a BLog It Board tooo!!! Choices!

Photography question: I feel like I am in a rut. I use the poses, and the light, and locations that I know work, and I’m producing a lot of the same. What are some tips for getting out of this rut?

I LIKE MCP actions on Facebook!

All In the Details !!! That is the ‘one’ set I really, really would want.

would love love love the bag of tricks (and many more) actions from MCP!

I would get the Bag of Tricks set .. I have a few MCP actions, but there are so many fun options!

1st – I would love them all! But probably start with “the bag of tricks”

another vote for lighting techniques!

I’d love to hear more about solutions for low-light settings. I can never seem to get those shots just right.

I like mcp actions on facebook!

And I would buy the All in the Details action set- it is gorgeous! I already have and love Bag of Tricks and the Quickie collection!

Well since I am new to photography and this site I would love to get started!!!! I believe The essentials would be the best to start with. I also would love to know more about exposures in different settings. Is it a “try it out” until you learn? I actually got referred to you by a friend who is doing photography so have been a fan of yours for a while and just learning as much as I can!!! Thanks for the opportunity!!!!

My question for Angie is have you ever asked permission from property owners to be able to “use” the sight? I am curious about etiquette… What’s the best approach to ranchers or business owners about using their location in my shots.

If I win, i will probably get the magic templates…I think the templates look awesome, and would be a huge time-saver for me

I like MCP on FB.

3rd – what photo products do you offer and how do you get clients to spend big??

Great contest! Would love to win the finish it actions!

My question is…. What is the best thing you’ve ever done for your photography?

I would love to buy the “Bag of Tricks” Action set…although I think I really want them all

I would love to know what your favorite lens is on a budget…of course we would all love to spend thousands on lenses but have to make money at some point right….

I am already a “liker”

I love the Quickie Collection, that would be the one for me.

I’d buy the Bag of Tricks set, definitely.

I would probably choose the ‘bag of tricks’

I’d like to win the Essential PS Action Package.

I “like” MCP on FB!

My photography question is: How do you prevent blowing out skin or whites in shirts? And if you do, how do you fix it?

My question would probably be about post processing. Do you do it all yourself? What is your goal time per picture/ per session? and do you use actions on all or most of your photos? Do you have any tricks to speed up the process? Thanks for the opportunity.

How do you direct your shooting sessions with children? Often I’ll have strong-willed kids either not listen to me, throw tantrums, or try to do something else. I always remain patient, but I’m wondering if there’s a better approach than just letting them run the shoot.

My photography questions usually relate to the subject being in the shade and the background being backlit. How to balance the correct ISO and shutter speed without getting grain and without having to use a tripod.

My question to answer would be – managing Work flow!! Organizing and backing up files, etc.

I “liked” mcp

I “like” MCP’s Facebook page

I’d have to go with the Complete Workflow action – it’s got a nice variety

I am looking to open my own studio. I know lighting is a challenge for me with indoor photography. I have a good bit of windows so I will have some natural light – is there a “better” light that can be used with the natural light that won’t make the photos look “fake” straight out the camera?

I “like” MCP on FB

I am already a {huge} of fan of MCP Actions on Facebook!

I like MCP on facebook!

I would like to see some tips for taking photos indoors under low light (mainly concert type settings….specifically our churches conferences which can have low lighting and movement).

How to be creative with angles to make a photo go from drab to eye catching.

I would buy the Quickie actions and finish it actions:) LOVE them!

Urban cover model. Love that.

What lens are the best to use for portrait shooting & If I have money for something should it be a new lens or a camera body upgrade?

The Bag of Tricks is on my wishlist. Love, Love, Love MCP Actions.

I already like MCP actions on FB.

I am wondering what tricks you do to fix shadows or bright highlights on someone’s face in a photo? I photograph children and sometimes it is hard to get them to look in the exact right direction, which means I have been dealing with shadows and highlights that have to be removed. Please help!

Love your stuff. I really want to know where/how you find the locations you shot at. I just moved and have to revamp myself completely. Being in a new state and having to find my way around I am trying to figure things out. But you always have the best locations. Also, how to start or find a good photog group. I was never able to get into one in Arizona. I’d really like to figure that out here. I know how valuable that would be. And I’d have to say bag of tricks. But I’d really like to know which one YOU use most. I’m sure you use them all. But which one would you say makes the MOST difference for your work? I really need to find something to bring eyes out.
If you already LIKE you on FB does that count?

my question is: how do you coax an indecisive client through the ordering process? (besides showing them your ideas for what they should buy?) I can elaborate more on this if needed.

I’ve been drooling over her actions for a while now. My first purchase would definitely be Bag of Tricks!

If I won I would want to know what action set YOU use most, or which one you think would help a hobby photographer most. I am really trying to break out and need that extra pop to my pictures that make them look more professional. If I had to pick I might say bag of Tricks.

I “like” MCP

MCP – IS THE PLACE TO BE, WHERE MAGIC BECOMES A REALITY! Who knows what magic will appear when you dive head first into a bag of tricks, so close your eyes, open your mind, and get ready to CLICK. CLICK!!!!

DEVOTED MCP fan here!! Already have the quickie collection, bag of tricks, eye doctor and magic skin…

An article on how to get the most out of your 50mm prime lens would be fantastic. I can never seem to get the right area with crystal clear clarity!

I like MCP on Facebook. and Twitter. and just in general.

Oooh so hard to choose!! Either All in the Details, or Bag of Tricks.

Liked on Facebook.

How do you handle noise in a photo that was set on too high of an ISO?

I like MCP on Facebook!

What does your ordering process look like? How do you get your clients to “order big!”

The biggest question bugging me at the moment: What would/do you wear when you photograph weddings?

My biggest question is how to get permissions from people to use their property for shoots.

I’m a fan of MCP on FB! Thanks for the chance!

Bag of Trick, fo sho! Maybe the desist and eye doctor!

I would like to know about your locations!

I am very interested in MCP’s BAG OF TRICKS! I have watched her hour long tutorial a few times and I’m gaining confidence to try it out. Thank you!

i am already a fan of theirs. i love love love them

Think I’d choose the Bag of Tricks set… ’cause I need a few tricks up my sleeve

There is so much to choose from that I really want. Eye doctor is one and bag of tricks oh who am I kidding I want all of them…

If I could pick any of the MCP action sets it would have to be the Bag of tricks! OF course, I have to pick the biggest set

A question I would like to ask, is how do you get a perfect shilouette?

I would love Jodi’s “bag of tricks” action. My question is- how do you prepare your photos for print vs. web?

I am a fan of MCP Actions.

I’d love to win the Bag of Tricks actions, for sure

Already a FAN and I love it!

My question: how to get crystal clear pictures of kids? My eyes are always slightly out of focus

I’ve wanted her Finish It PS Actions & her Complete Workflow (both for PSE).

I’ve been a fan of MCP Actions on FB for a while now!

A question I have for you is, how do you get the best photograph in overcast conditions?

I would definitely buy the Bag of Tricks collection – it would be SO useful!

And the question I would LOVE to know the answer to is how much posing direction you give your clients and how you go about doing that? (Is that two questions?!!! I hope that’s ok!!)

2. “liked” on facebook.

If I won I would buy as many actions for PSE as I could.

My question is what is your favorite lens you take with you most of the time?

I’m an MCP fan on facebook!

Huge love for the bag of tricks! That is what I would most def buy. Great examples!

I already have the Quickie Collection and use is daily! If I won I would have to choose between, Bag of Tricks, All in the detail, and the complete workflow. Trying to decide would be the hardest!!!

Ooh! I would probably choose the Quickie Collection!

I would love to know your favorite method of bringing out details in a photo (outside of using an action). I would also love to know some great books/websites for learning advanced Photoshop techniques – where did you learn?!?! Thanks!

The quickie collection is next on my list!!!

I’m an MCP facebook fan!!!

And a photography question…

I would like to more details about working with seniors. What marketing strategies work best to reach your clientele, and how do you help them express their personalities during a photo shoot?

I am a facebook fan as well!

I like MCP Actions on facebook for a long time.

Love ALL of her actions! I would either purchase Bag of Tricks or All in the Details!

Would love for you to answer how you edit your photos and tips and tricks you are able to share!

I would probably get the Complete Workflow, but it’s so hard to decide!!

Photography question I would like to see you answer in a future MCP Blog Guest Post by Angie Monson:

How do you find great locations? Do you use the same ones over and over again or are you constantly scouting out new places to shoot?

A question I’d love to have addressed is… how do you achieve such amazing lighting? What is your outdoor-lighting set-up? What gear helps you get the results you do?

Thanks, I check your blog almost daily! Your work is so inspirational.

The bag of tricks is what I am wishing and dreaming of. I love the pop and crispness it adds so simply.

Questions…hrmmmm. There are sooo many. I love your work! The always… lighting especially in your alley images, natural posing, just to be a fly on the wall when you work, oh and how do you find the balance of being professional while having mommy duty and being a wife and running a house. Where do you draw the line between work and family life. Those are my many questions. Keep up the amazing work. You inspire me to work harder.

I would love the quickie collection!

If I can be cheeky I would love” I Want It All: Photoshop Actions Package”
I’ve just liked MCP on facebook.
My question is about sharpening How do you know when enough is enough ?

question for interview: your clients always look so relaxed….what are some great tips to help your clients feel relaxed in front of the camera and how to capture those candid moments?

Like MCP on FB

Liked MCP on facebook!

I’m 99% positive that I’d want the Bag Of Tricks action set! That set could fix so many problems that I run into!

I like MCP on fb!!! (Have for quite a while now )

I would love to get the Bag of Tricks from MCP!

Questions I would love to know your answers to are:

1. What do you do when everything in your pic looks fine, but your sky looks blown out? Some of my pics look great, but I hate how the sky turned out. I would love to be able to fix it!

2. What do you do if your client seems very standoff-ish while you are photographing them? I’m not talking kids, I’m wondering about grown ups.

(And I am assuming comments are moderated, because none of the two previous ones I posted are here! At least I hope that is the case! ☺)

I “LOVE” the MCP Fanpage

i would LOVE the bag of tricks actions!! thank you!!

i would love to know what your inspiration is?!? such great work!

I have several questions, so I hope that’s ok!

One is how do you get nicely illuminated eyes with catchlights without getting squinty eyes….when I position my daughter where I can get nice catchlights she ends up squinting which doesn’t make for a nice photo.

And two is how can you get nice outdoor light while still getting vibrant colors.

And while I’m at it #3 – how do you ensure that your exposure is always perfect so that you can run actions afterwards?

I *like* MCP!!

I “Like” Actions on facebook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to get the back of tricks actions!

I would love all in details or quickie collection, I have bag of tricks and love it

what do you do when your picture is blown out.

I would definately like the bag of trick! Well, all her actions look amazing! I became a fan on fb. The question I would ask is how do you get the kids attention in photos. Like the group family ones etc. I always have a hard time with this.

Bag of tricks for sure!

Thank you for the Giveaway. I’d choose All in the Details.

I’m now a fan of MCP Actions! Very useful site and lots of amazing pictures!
Question: I would like to know if you are using any flash or lighting reflectors or are all pictures taken with natural light?

Best regards from Berlin, Germany.

P.S. How I did find out about you? – From the prophotoblog!

My question: How do you narrow down your product offerings? I get overwhelmed with all the different choices. I want to offer my clients unique items, but don’t want to overwhelm them.

What are some tips for advertising for your photography business?

I’d like all in the Details and Quickie Collection. I also have a wish list going there.

I’m a fan of MCP Actions!

i would LOVE to purchase MCP bag of tricks

i liked mcp actions on fb

what steps should i take to learn how to achieve great lighting in my photos

I LOVE the bag of tricks!

I’d like to know more about your workflow at & after a shoot in regards to the number of photos you take and keep… how many shots do you typically take? Do you immediately narrow it down to a specific number? Do you save only the ones that you edit for clients or do you keep some unedited photos just in case you want to play around with them later?

I would get the bag of tricks because who doesn’t love to be tricky?!

I’d love to be able to purchase “All in the Deatails” set!

Hope you didn’t pick the winner yet! I want Bag of Tricks and the Quickie Collection. Love MCP actions and have wanted them for awhile now!

I likeMCP on FB, so awesome!!!!

I just love your work. Thanks for inspiring me and sharing the way you finish your photographs. They are beautiful.
