Rhode Island Newborn / Infant "Casting Call"…

No, this isn’t your regular modeling gig.  Sorry…by no means am I affiliated with a modeling agency…but I AM looking for a lil’ munchkin anywhere from days old to NO MORE than 6 weeks old.  Boy or girl…either is ok.

What’s in it for you?  A free photo session (a $75 value!) and a password protected online gallery of the edited images to share with friends and family.  You may purchase prints if you would like, but there is NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.

What’s in it for me?  All I need you to do is sign a release form to allow me to use your images to showcase my work.  This is “normal practice” for photographers but I recently bought some handmade products to use for props for infants and the makers of the products asked me to share an image with someone using it.  Basically, one product I need an infant that is only a week old and the other can be anywhere between the ages mentioned at the beginning of the post.  One product is simply…a knit hat.  Simple, yes?  =)

Many of my infant sessions are normally in the spring/summer, but I’d hate to have to wait until then.  So here is my free offer to you.  If you would like a free photo session of your lil’ one (or if you’re soon to be having a little one), please leave your name, how old he/she is or when they will be born, where you’re from and your email address. 

If a bunch of people inquire for this, I will most likely choose a couple of participants (using Random.org to make it fair) within the next week or so….

I’ll also be doing a promotion very soon for “Multiples” and for Military families…so stay tuned (and if you know anyone who is expecting twins, triplets, etc or is in the military, spread the word and send them this link to keep an eye out)!  Also, your comment may need to be approved, so don’t worry if your comment doesn’t appear right away.  Check back in a few hours to make sure it posted ok!  Teethy

Lil' Avery…

So yesterday, I had the pleasure of photographing Miss Avery.  She is about 6 weeks old and was just the cutest little peanut!!  It was great to finally meet her parents, Kathy & Bryan as well.  They were a fun bunch to photograph and we had some great laughs after I made them do some tricks (haha, wink wink)  Bryan, you made a great assistant, you’re hired!   Teethy

I think I’m really loving the B&Ws for this session…not sure why.  Maybe because it gives it a great, warm, soft feeling to it.  For the last image, I’ve always done this type of shot with a black background, so this was the 1st time I tried a white.  I like this for a change!  These are my faves from the session :

Top 10 Fave Client Images of 2008…

So in one of my photography groups on another site, we were asked to post 10 of our fave images that we took for our clients.  I think I’ll do the same thing for personal images next but I thought I would post the faves for my clients here too so you could see them as well (if you care to. lol  This is in no particular order)  Hope you enjoy!

Why this one??…it’s the closest I’ll ever come to photographing a celebrity wedding, which I’d love to do! LOL In the center is Dylan Walsh from Nip Tuck, and his lovely wife (also an actress), Johanna Going is dancing with him.

Paying It Forward: For Military Families…

olr_logo

YAY!  I’m so excited.  I wrote a post (see below this entry) about being accepted to the Littlest Heroes Project and just about a week ago, I was accepted to be a part of the photography team for Operation: Love ReUnited!

These are both WONDERFUL organizations and OpLove is for any military families that have loved ones that are deploying, deployed or returning home.  As a wife of a former Marine, I know how difficult it can be to be away from your loved one…even moreso, if you have little ones waiting for Mommy or Daddy or another family member to come home.

(The following is taken from the OpLove website to further explain what this is about):

If you are a member or family member of the United States Military, and are interested in having very special and touching images with a patriotic edge taken of you and/or your family before a deployment or during, and at your reunion, please contact a photographer in your area now.  You will receive a substantial package as a gift in appreciation for all you have been through as a military member.  The package will always include a 4×6 album of pre-deployment images, such as a child’s hand clasped in his parent’s with the faint glimpse of a BDU sleeve, a marine in dress with his family, a salior with his parents right before departure, or a child playing dress up in combat boots and a helmet.  The album will be sent to the deployed soldier by the photographer, at no cost to you.  Also with your package, all session fees will be waived.  Your photographer may have a designated package or other options for Operation: Love ReUnited participants at their discretion with a signed model release.

If you are in the military or have a loved one serving, I HIGHLY encourage you to take a look at their website and find a local photographer near you.  www.oplove.org

For any photographers who may not be a part of this and read this, I highly encourage you to join this organization as well.  Because in my eyes…it’s the least we can do for those putting their lives on the line for our freedom!

Paying It Forward..An AWESOME Opportunity To Help Families with Disabled/Ill Children…

lhp1

Many photographers are aware of this non-profit organization and some are a part of it.  I am so excited to share that I was accepted a couple of weeks ago to Littlest Heroes Project.

Some of you may ask what this project is all about.  This organization made up of professional photographers across the nation and we provide free photo sessions to our Littlest Heroes. If you have a child, or know a child, who suffers from any type of serious illness or life altering disability, you may be eligible for a session. 

For example, if your child(ren)..ages newborn to 21 yrs… is currently fighting, suffers or has fought from:  Autism, Alopecia, AIDS, Bell’s Palsy, Cancer,Chiari Malformation,Cystic Fibrosis, Cerebral Palsy, CHD,Childhood Stroke, Servere Diabetes, Down Syndrome, HIV, Immune System disorders and diseases, Kidney Disease, Muscular Dystrophy, Neurocutaneous Syndromes, Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Shaken Baby Syndrome, Sickle Cell Anemia, Spina Bifida, Tay-Sachs Disease, and other serious childhood illnesses and life altering disabilites….you could apply.

You do have to apply for a session because many people have taken advantage of the free sessions and they have to make sure it’s legit.  Typically, the sessions would be outdoors but of course, that is up to you, the family and photographer and what the conditions are.  Besides the free photo session, you will also receive at least 5 photos (on a CD or printed). 

If you are interested in a session for the LHP, please visit their website (www.littlestheroesproject.org) for more info.  You may view who the photographers are for your state to get more info. 

So, if you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading and help spread the word of this beautiful and wonderful opportunity!!  Just click on the logo above and it will take you to their site.
