Sassy Baby Sessions!

April is booked solid and to kick off May I will be doing "Sassy Baby Sessions". I am looking for babies around 9 months of age who can sit up on their own. This is such a fun age to photograph! Each session will be conducted either at your home or on-location outdoors. (It is spring afterall right?!) Bring on the hats, funky outfits to make your little one sassy! For sessions conducted in your home, you will need lots of available natural light and fun surroundings. I will use all different areas of your home!

Want to hear the best part?! Each session fee will be half off and you will receive a complimentary 11x14 print from me as well!

There are a limited number of these sessions available. Sessions will take place on May 8th and 9th in the morning and can not be rescheduled.

New Portrait Collections!

Many clients have been asking about portrait collections. After much thought and consideration, I have developed three collections to choose from. I am confident each client will find a collection that is a great fit for their family. The collections contain print discounts as well as specialty items.

You can download the complete collection list here!

Since I am so excited to offer these collections to my clients, when you purchase the Gift Collection you will receive $25 off of your sitting fee or $50 off of your session fee with the purchase of the Keepsake or Heirloom Collections. Act fast though, because this special will expire on May 1st, 2007!

SH Portraits On Display!

I recently put up a display of work at Sunrise Pediatrics in Amherst. The two doctors at Sunrise pediatrics along with their staff are truly some of the kindest people I have ever met. I am honored to have my work displayed in an atmosphere that is so joyful (other than when kiddos are sick, but even then everyone has a smile on their face!). You will find portraits displayed in the exam rooms, as well as in the waiting room. Sunrise pediatrics is located on N. Bailey Ave in Amherst, NY.

PS - Keep checking the blog for a big announcement on new portrait packages!

The Way "Starbucks" Sees It

Have you been to Starbucks lately? Cafe mocha anyone? Well if you have I am sure you noticed the cups have "The Way I See It" on them. I met a great client there today to deliver their portraits and got #205. It said "Many people search blindly for the "meaning of life". What they don't seem to understand is that life does not have meaning through mere existence or acquisition or fun. The meaning of life is inherent in the connections we make to others through honor and obligation" -Dr. Laura Schlessinger How true right?! I know I say it a lot to my clients but I am honored to be able to capture your children in these moments. They grow and change all too quickly and I enjoy being a part of your lives. Thanks "D" for some great chit chat today. Enjoy those portraits and give the baby a big smooch till we get together again!

Like Shoemaker's Children

Ever hear the saying "shoemakers children go barefoot"? Well I can relate, because I truly didn't have but a couple pictures of me with my children. So yesterday I decided to do something about it. With two happy boys in tow, my camera, a tripod and remote, I did some self portraits and I am so glad I did. Now I just need one of me and my daughter together too. So tune in next week and hopefully I can share that then!

A Recent Session

I was lucky enough to photograph little guy again over the weekend. (The last time we met he was just a newborn!) Babies are so great at his age, they are sitting up, discovering new things and have such personality for their size. Here is a little sneak peek at the session!

And the WINNER is. . . . .

Lindsi A. who nominated her dear friends April & John F. Lindsi told me all about their incredible love for each other and their children. Their story was very moving and I am honored to be able to photograph their family. You can read more about our winners here http://faulisesfight.com/Home_Page.html

Congratulations to you! Each family will receive a gift certificate for a complimentary session, including up to 4 people. Make sure to book your session by July 1st!

Thank you to everyone that entered, it was so heartwarming to see how everyone loves each other!
