Family Wall Portraits make great Mother's Day & Father's Day gifts

Get in the Picture Mom

Every baby should grow up surrounded by a beautiful portrait taken with their mom - printed and displayed prominently in their home or in their room.  This year we are celebrating motherhood with a Mom & Me Legacy Project.  The goal of the project is to create beautiful signature images of the relationship between parent and child.  Those quiet tender moments of laughter & fun that will contribute to your child's sense of well being.  I believe photographs give clarity to our memories and provide us with a sense of well-being. I think photographs give clarity to our memories and give us a feeling of connectedness.

You can not know how many sunrises you will get to share with your loved ones but one thing yon can be sure of - you will never be any younger or have fewer wrinkles than you do today. 
Seize the day!  Your children love you just the way you are.  Come on Mom - get in the picture.

Bunny & Peep Spring Portraits

As always our Bunnies & Peeps Spring Mini Sessions were a huge hit.  These precious little sessions are so sweet for Spring and Easter portraits and such a cute opportunity for kids to play with our bunnies and peeps in the comfort of their own yard or at a friends.  Moms host the sessions with up to three of their friends and children.

We bring the bunnies & peeps, baskets and carts and camera equipment. 

Can't decide which is cuter the baby's with or without fur.

 

 

I loved this indoor studio session with the cutest little curly head.  It's funny, children come into our studio all year long asking "Can I see your bunnies?"  I guess they think we keep them here at the studio year round.  Sorry bunnies are all gone till next spring.

 

 

Vacation Portraits at the Beach

This precious little family from Washington DC called me when they were visiting Amelia Island.  I love when my clients refer friends and family - it's such a warm first visit.  I had photographed a family member's wedding and again with children a few years later.  I was excited to meet the rest of the family.  Check out this fun lifestyle beach session and these adorable expressive boys.  It is never to early to capture a Christmas Card image for this fall.

High School Graduation Season & Portraits

High School Graduation Portraits on location and at the beach are so much fun.  High School seniors are always looking for fun ways to express themselves and Senior Portraits are among the avenues students have to stretch out and make their unique personality mark.  This is the time of year our studio meets with high school juniors graduating in 2015 and their parents for High School Senior Portrait consultations.   Regardless of which area high school a student attends - they do have a choice for Senior Portraits.  What defines our studio's senior portrait clients?  Our seniors are fun loving, creative and looking for something unique and artistic.

Here are some suggestions for High School Juniors thinking about Senior Portraits:

1. Think outside the box.  Don't follow the crowd and line up to do what everyone else is doing.  
2. Bring your personality into the mix.  If you love to ride horses, have your senior portraits done at the stable.  If you are a dancer, wear your tutu to the beach.  If you play sports, include gear in a few photos. 
3. A fresh haircut or trim is a good idea.  Do a hair and make up test run.  Ask your photographer for a make up artist's recommendation for subtle outdoor make up.
4. Ask for wardrobe advice.  Colors, textures and design cuts can make or break a portrait session.  You may want to give that gorgeous prom gown or tux another chance to sparkle.
5. Include your BFF in part of your session.  These are times and memories you'll want to remember for a lifetime.
6. Schedule a studio consultation in advance to design a Senior Portrait Session that is uniquely you.
7. If your school requires your yearbook image is taken at a specific studio - if the required studio isn't what you had in mind, go for the basic package and then look for an independent artistic studio that offers on location sessions and custom packages.  Some studios will reimburse you up to $35 in print products for your basic package investment.
8. Juniors - Students change a lot during the summer prior to senior year.  Start early to plan your senior portrait concept, but don't be pressured into scheduling portraits in July when it's hot & humid.  Most actual yearbook deadlines are not until mid to late September.
9. Look for fun new products and contemporary services to display your beautiful images.  Don't settle for the same old leather folio and 8x10 prints for your grandparents.

 

 

 

Baby Brother Newborn Nursery Session

What could be more natural than newborn nursery photos at home?  Big brothers have enough to contend with when a new baby turns up on the scene.  Better to pose for photos at home in a comfortable and familiar setting.  This little chap took a nap while we photographed his new baby brother and when nap time was over he was ready to get into the act.  I love photographing families in their own personal space.
