Tra La La Cuteness -- Child Commercial Photography

What a beeeeautiful day we had today. So, so gorgeous. I'm actually about to just collapse into bed after a looong weekend, but first, here's some more Tra La La cuteness. I don't usually get to share the pictures with you all right after I shoot them ... because I'm often shooting a few seasons ahead. But in this case, all of these adorable clothes are currently on sale, so I can share away! ...

How adorable is Miss Maliya?! She was one happy little kid in a candy store. Literally.

An outfit change ... and then we headed out to burn off all the sugar!

Look at these baby blues! This little cutie was a real trooper. She and her lovely twin sister were each supposed to model an outfit ... but as it turns out, sis had the grumps, so she had to take care of business all by herself.

I absolutely LOVE this outfit! ...

And last but not least, a little acoustic set with Miss Hannah. She really got into Miley's "The Climb."

I'm just so in love with these last two ...

As always, a big HUGE thanks to the fabulous Moms who worked hard to help me get these pictures.

Be on the lookout ... more casting calls are coming your way soon!

Happy Sunday!

Happy Announcement -- Delaware Commercial Photographer

It was damp ... gray ... and the lovely smell of horse poop lingered in the air. (How's that for an opening sentence?!) Sarah tirelessly sang Hannah Montana, jumped up and down like crazy to illicit laughter, and helped turn our horse into the perfect model. But it was somewhere in the middle of a rendition of Miley's "Hoe Down" that I made a decision: all modeling sessions will now result in reeeeeally cheap prints for the models. In the past, I've taken 30% off the print prices for all the images that result from a modeling session. But starting, well, now, the pricing will be as follows ...

4X6 - $1
5X7 - $3
8X10 - $5
8X12 - $6
11X14 - $10

It's just my way of saying "thank you!" to all the fabulous Moms who work so hard to help me make beautiful images on these sessions. Seriously ... they work HARD. My ideas are usually a little, well, out there ... and while the kids always have an absolute blast, I know how much effort the Moms put into helping me make these sessions awesome.

Check out Miss Hannah and April, the "pony." ...



I'll post a lot more from this session and the other fabulous sessions I did for Tra La La on Monday. The pictures turned out so ridiculously cute!

And of course ... be on the lookout for future casting calls. More than ever before, it's a great way to get awesome pictures at an itty bitty fraction of the normal cost for pictures.

Happy weekend!!!

Carousel Park -- Delaware Child Photographer

She was worried about the leaves. Or, lack of leaves, really. But, as it turns out, we had gooooorgeous leaves last Friday over at Carousel Park. Absolutely gorgeous. I'm so, so glad that Theresa chose this spot for her family's pictures! These kids just crack me up.

How cute is she with that hair!!!!? ...

I think I said something like, "be cool." Here's what I got : ) ....

I'm not sure which one I like better. B/W ...

Or color ...

One might say that this guy is a bit of a ham. Just a bit, though, mind you ...

I asked for her best model pose, and I got it! ...

And we ended our session down with the birds. And I've got the goose poop on my boots to prove it!

Happy Thursday!

Finally ... Some Sun! -- Delaware Child Photographer

Heeeello sunshine! Man, it feels so good outside! It just makes me want to smile. And it makes other people happy, too. Like the lovely ticket taker who works in the parking lot behind Panera on Main Street. I pulled up this morning (after a veeeery cute session on Main Street) to pay, and she flashed a big grin, winked, opened the gate, and said, "Get out of my parking lot!" I put my money away and pulled out with an even bigger smile. Not because I saved $2.00, but because of her big grin. It's nice to find nice people. So, yay for her! (Side note: Boo to the army guys in The Cereal Bowl. Apparently they're NOT so tough after all, since they couldn't handle two minutes of a crying baby. BOOOO!)

Anyway, my blog has been neglected, and so have my previews. So, here are a few previews to the real previews.

This cutie pie was the header of my last e-letter ... which, I'm told didn't come through for most people. So, if you saw a big X instead of a picture on your e-mail, this is what you were missing : )

Some Tra La La cuteness ...

And some Zozo cuteness ...

And finally ... another video. I'm laughing right now as I type this, because I just picked up a message from Kristin saying ... "We love our video!" I guess my blog surprise won't work! I uploaded the video last night as I was going to bed, and then meant to post it this morning. But, I guess someone found it on Vimeo and sent it to her. LOL! Oh well, if you haven't already seen it ... here's what our maternity/family session on Monday looked like ...

Happy Wednesday!
