Let's go Racin Boys!!

Anyone who knows me, know that I love to watch NASCAR. But, this year, we've gotten into a whole different kind of racing. Slingshots and Micro sprints. I don't really know a whole lot about them, but I think I'm going to be learning this year.

We headed up to Hamlin Speedway to get some shots for Mekic Racing and Redemption Racing, two teams that run up here. It's been a long time since I've been to a dirt track race. I forgot how much I liked it. My dad used to race street stocks back when I was in high school. We would spend Friday or Saturday summer nights at the track cheering him on. The only difference is that this particular Saturday night was freezing! It was snowing while we were there. I will be glad for the warm nights when we are up there!

If you are looking for something to do on a Saturday night, this really is a nice little track. Something inexpensive for the family to do for something different.

Here are some of our favorites.

Autism Awareness Walk

April is Autism Awareness month. Every year, the PLCTA has a walk at Nay Aug Park in Scranton, to raise money for awareness. This year, despite the cold and rain, they had over 1500 people there! There were so many activities for the kids to do. We saw bounce houses, face painitng, sand art, masks that the kids could design, and so many more things that I can't remember them all! They also had some local support organizations to give out information and answer questions.

Some of our favorites from the day.

Baby L

This little guy's session was scheduled before he was even born. For newborns we like to get them in here before they turn 2 weeks old. These first few days they sleep a lot, they are easier to position, and they haven't started peeling yet.

If you know someone who's pregnant, have them give us a call to let us know the due date, so we can be sure to make room for them.

There are SO many from this shoot that we love, but I try not to post more than 5, so here they are!

Michael

This little guy was the winner of our Cutest Kids contest that we have every year. To be entered, all you need to do is have a paid session with us. If the child is under 5 years old, he will automatically be entered. This year's winner received a year's worth of free sessions.

For their first session, they did a Mother's Day/ Easter session. Here are some of our favorites from the session.

T and B

I always say I'm going to try to keep up with the blog. And every time I say it, another week or two goes by without blogging. At least this time its because we've been busy.

These little guys came in right before Easter to get some Mother's Day/ Springtime photos done. Mom dressed them alike in their bright yellow shirts and blue striped ties. I LOVED the bold colors!

These are some of our favorites from the shoot.

2011 Senior Reps

As you may know, we do things a little differently around here when it comes to seniors. We have Senior Reps. Simply explained, these kids represent our studio. They come to us in the spring of their Junior year. We do a free mini shoot with them so we can get images to use for marketing. We then make business cards with the Rep's image on them. They pass these cards out to their friends. For every card that comes back to us, the Rep receives a $10 Visa card. The person who redeemed the card will receive 16 free wallets. As the reps send us more seniors, they earn different prizes along the way. At the end of the school year, we add up all of the referrals. The Rep that sent us the most, will win a $200 Visa card! This is our way of thanking them for helping us to get our name out there.

Here are a some of this years reps. If you know them, be sure to get a card from them so you can get your free wallets!

Springtime = Soccer Season

Outdoor soccer season has finally started, after cancelling and rescheduling games due to weather and poor field conditions.

The girls from North Pocono lost a lot of good girls last year, and don't have many on the bench this year. But, dispite that, hey are playing tough. As I write they are 2 and 1, but the loss was a PK in the last minute of the game. That game could have easily been a win.

If you're looking for something to do in the afternoons, come check out a game. Girls sports seem to get overlooked big time, and they really have some good close games. They can really use some support from their classmates and fans. Their schedule can be found on the North Pocono website. Home games are played behind the elementary school.

These are some shots from the North Pocono vs Wyoming Area game.

Brothers C and C

We often give out gift certificates for charities in the area. Occasionally people redeem them.

These little guys' grandma won a gift certificate back in January, so they came in for Easter photos.

Big brother C, played with us as we took his photos. He played with us as we took Little C's photos. They were both so lovable! We hope to see them again.

Some of our favorites fromt he session.

Mr J

This little guy came to play with our chicks and do Easter session. He is 10 months old and if e's not walking by the time I write this, it will be any day now!

He was so cute. He would crawl to the camera, and Ed would drag him backwards to where he was supposed to be. This last shot is his face as he was being dragged.

We would love to have him back for his birthday to do a cake smash.

Patti and Don

I've knows Patti for years. We used to work together as waitresses back in our late teens. We hadn't seen each other in years until last year at an event we were shooting.

Patti sent us an email and we brought her in for an engagement session. They were so easy to work with, and I could see they are very much in love.

A few faves from their session.

Photo Booth Fun

Everyone knows we are photographers. But, not too many people know we also have a photo booth. Remember the old photo booths that you would climb in with a friend and they spit our a strip of photos for you and your friend to share? We have an updated version of that.

Our photo booth is expandable. It will hold up to 10 or 12 people, depending on size. It prints out 4 images on a 4x6 photo. We give you a choice of background colors, and let you customize the border that you want on the print. We also have a large selection of crazy hats and props that we bring along to add to the fun. You then get your choice of a DVD slide show of all of the photos from the booth, or a scrapbook of all the photos. We supply the glue to put them in the album along with a pen, so each guest can write a personalized message to the host!

This booth would be great for birthday parties, weddings, graduation parties, office parties, and reunions; the possibilities are endless!

Give us a call to rent our booth for the day. We only have one and dates fill up fast!
