Happy New Year

Happy 2011! It's a New Year which brings new resolutions and new promises. One of my resolutions is to get organized. Along with that organization, is to stay up to date on my blog.

So, without further delay, here is our first after Christmas session. Baby A. Mom is one of the teachers at Arabesque Academy of Dancing and went into labor right after the Christmas Show.

We decided to go to her, since it was so cold and windy outside. We worke with the awesome light coming through the windows. This little girl slept through most of her session, and did not fuss at all. She was a little doll.

Kid's Day at Pocono Raceway

June is race weekend at Pocono. Those who know me, know that we go every year. So, when the opportunity came to bring the photo booth to Pocono for their Kid's Day, we jumped on it. We love to give back to the community, and our photo booth is a great way to do that.

I had never ventured to this side of the grandstands for Kid's Day before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. They set us up next to the face painter. There was only 1of her, against what seemed like 5000 kids. She was non stop. Our booth was too.

All in all, Id say the whole day was a success. The kids loved it! We had some kids come back in line 3 and 4 different times. I would deffinately do it again next year!

Arabesque Academy of Dancing

Most of May found us at the Arabesque Academy of Dancing. We were there to shoot candids of the kids as they had dance class. We also came in to do their class and individual photos. Then, we went to the recital to get some candids there as well.

We love coming into this studio. There is a great group of kids here. We love getting to know them and seeing all of their hard work pay off in the end.

This year, we went a different way with some of the group photos. The instructor's group decided to move outside. We LOVE LOVE LOVE this shot! Thanks Amy and all the kids for having us! We can't wait to do it again!

Bark for Life

Since I posted about being at the Bark for Life, I guess I should blog about the walk. This walk benefits the American Cancer Society and takes place at Nay Aug Park, in May.

This was their second walk, and the dogs doubled this year to over 200! Not only is there a walk, but they have dogs performing obstacle courses, dancing, and doing tricks. There are quite a few vendors there such as kennels, groomers, trainers, as well as us, photographers.

Although it rained while we were there, it did not lessen the crowd. They had a great turnout and raised a lot of money for a great cause!

Thanks to everyone who participated. We all have a story about cancer. Hopefully one day there won't be any more.

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.

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!

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.

Babies and toddlers

Feb 14th ended our annual babies and toddlers contest. This year, the winner received a year's worth of free sessions! They could come back as many times as they want and we will waive the session fee. This is our winner. I just love his eyes!
