Peek-a-boo

One of my faves from a recent 2 year session.  I have been photographing her since she was new.  She is always full of spunk and I could post every single image in her gallery.  There are more on my facebook fan page, just click on the link at the bottom and become a fan :)

Not quite a newborn….

but still a beautiful new bundle :)   His momma saw one of my newborn galleries and decided she wanted images like that too.  Newborn images are best done within the first two weeks and since he was 5 weeks she decided to just book the baby’s first year plan and start at 3 months.  Her husband knew she REALLY wanted those newborn shots so he secretly booked a session for her for valentines a few days after we spoke :)   How incredibly sweet is that and such a great gift if I do say so myself :)   I was a little skeptical we could get the “newborn” look but this little guy was absolutely perfect :)   I’m looking forward to watching him grow.

I’m getting ready to have a little giveaway on my facebook fan page.  If you are not a fan, click on the link at the bottom of this page to become a fan :)

Happy Valentines Day!

I hope everyone has a wonderful valentines day!  Thanks to everyone who participated in our valentines day special.  We got loads of great images and created some ADORABLE valentines for friends, family and classmates :)  

Shannon Walton Photography has a new facebook fan page :)   Check out the link at the bottom of  the blog and become a fan!  I’ll post news and specials on a regular basis. 

No post is complete without images so here is one of my sweetest little clients!

BEAUTIFUL little peanut!

This little guy was so adorable!  Seriously, look at this head full of jet black hair, eyelashes that go on forever, squishy little lips.  Now, he was a fiesty fella and definately made me work for it, but we got a gallery full of images like this….

Baby “A” is one of my Babies by Shannon baby plan members so you’ll be seeing a lot of him this year :)   Congrats to mom and dad on their BEAUTIFUL new bundle.  I’m looking forward to watching him grow!

A session with me…

is a BLAST, a barrel of  laughs, nonstop fun!  See for yourself…

Ha ha, more of these beautiful sisters to come :)

He melts my heart…

Just a tiny sneak peek :)   My little nephew is 9 months!  I can’t believe it!  9 months is one of my FAVORITE ages to photograph and we got so much cute stuff.  I can’t wait to proof the whole session!

Isn’t he adorable!! 

There is nothing like…

a brand new baby!   Newborn photography definitely requires a bit of patience as they are typically my longest sessions because baby calls the shots :)   I have photographed lots of new babies and over the years have learned many things that work and many things that don’t.  I’m constantly trying to come up with something new.  Each and every session sparks some creativity which makes them so much fun for me.  Another bonus is that most times I get to watch them grow.  Our new baby plan has been extremely popular so you will get to see lots of these newborns grow right along with me. 

I’m going to post some recent newborn images but also wanted to mention I would like to get one more newborn lined up for my workshop in March.  You can view the post below for info. 

**Update**  We have enough newborn models!  Thanks so much everyone!!

Newborn models needed!

I am hosting a workshop at my studio  March 2nd and 3rd.  A  group of photographers will be attending to learn how I photograph newborn babies.  I can’t have a workshop about newborns without newborns so I need your help :)

I would like to do a live newborn session and need at least two babies 14 days or newer.  If you are expecting mid to late February or  scheduled to have a c-section at the end of February and are interested in beautiful images of your new baby please contact me. 

The session will be complimentary and include a very nice print credit as a thank you for letting us use your baby as one of our models. 

I may also need some child models, I will let you know if I do :)

Thanks so much and look forward to hearing from you!

**Update** We have enough newborn models for the workshop.  Thanks so much everyone!

Then and Now!

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is watching “my” babies grow.  I really don’t know where the time goes.  I photographed this little one when she was brand new and just had her one year session at the studio the other day.  I have photographed big brother several times and it was so nice to see them again.  Baby “E” was a little unsure of me at first but soon warmed up.  Big brother was so good and we got some great stuff of him too!

Baby “E” brand new…

and now…

Heart breaker.

Photographed Kyle for his valentines and wanted to show you a couple options for the older boys mini sessions.  I can’t decide on the front of his card.  I think he likes the fire image, which by the way, was added in photoshop. 

There are still openings for our mini sessions :)
