Happy Birthday Scotty!

Scotty's mom called to book a session for his 1 year birthday When I suggested a cake smash, she was all into it. We love the moms who let us get creative with their kids' shoots.

Cake smashes are so much fun. You never know what you're going to get. Some kids love the icing. Some don' like to be dirty. This guy took it all in stride. He was so well behaved. These are some of our favorite shots from his session.

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!
