This year I refused to buy the school pics they offer at school. Inevitably every year Ana has a zit or Brady's smile looks like it has been drawn on his face by a 5 year old. Oh, and I love the choices of background colors (grey, blue, pink, purple or green). Such variety! I could pay more for retakes or touch up, but why bother when I could have them professionally done... by me. We went out for a short session with the kids in their school clothes and got our pick of backgrounds.
I have a friend who is an amazing musician. She is starting up her music career and needed a to have some shots that made her look the part. I think that minivans and soccer games are the last thing you think about when you look at these shots.
It was a beautiful day in the park today for our photo shoot. Carly and David are recently engaged and although their wedding photographer in L.A. is including the engagement pics, they didn't want to wait to tell all of their friends. So, we had a 'Save the Date' session. It was a fun half hour, and we got several good shots.
I was worried that my first maternity shots would be by a Mom who wanted barely there shots. Thankfully my friend just wanted proof that she was pregnant while staying fully clothed.
I had a special on Friday and Saturday for my Anti-Cheesey Kid Pics. I marked it down to $10 and we went in groups of 5 or 6 six kids. It worked out great and we all had a lot of fun. I will be doing another special in October. A 20 min family shoot for $20. Just in time to get some good pictures for your Christmas cards.
