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 
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
is a BLAST, a barrel of laughs, nonstop fun! See for yourself…
Ha ha, more of these beautiful sisters to come
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!!
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
Every year I do valentines for my kids to pass out at school or before Emma was in preschool mail to friends and family. They are always a huge hit. I have wanted to do mini sessions for the past several years but shooting strictly on location made if very difficult. So this year I tried to plan ahead. I asked a couple of my friends and clients to model for me. We had so much fun!! I also realized things I needed to tweak and make better for the mini sessions. So we will have a few more options, especially for boys, if you book a session. I have a couple clever ideas for the little fellas It’s a little tough coming up with a boyish theme for valentines with all the hearts and pink/red decorations that go along with the holiday but think you will be pleased
These sessions are ideal for 1-2 kids. No large groups please. You will need to pay the session fee when you book to hold your spot and they are going to be very limited. I will need to proof and design cards from each session and would never have time before Valentines Day to get it all done if I took 100 bookings So what I’m really saying is if you are interested I wouldn’t wait as the time slots will be first come first served.
You will also need to choose images from your online gallery as soon as possible so that we can get your valentine cards designed and ordered.
If you are interested in booking please e-mail me at shannonwalton@sbcglobal.net
I have contacted the winner of our caption contest. Congratulations “J”! I will also be donating $240 to St. Jude. Thank you to all who entered captions and took the time to vote in our contest!
Lots of info to share with you. We have new pricing plans and bonus levels for 2010. Please e-mail me if you are interested in booking a session for 2010. I will be glad to send you the info. We went on a mini vacation for New Year’s and when we got home my inbox was full of clients wishing to book and my calendar is already filling up. Thank you!
We are now offering a new baby plan. I have been wanting to do this for several years now and finally put something together which gives you a REALLY great deal on multiple sessions in babies first year as well as complimentary prints and discounts on some fabulous products. It starts with a newborn session which needs to be done within the first 2 wks of birth and includes each milestone along the way. If you know someone who is expecting this would make a phenomenal baby shower gift I will only take so many baby plan clients so that I have time to photograph regular sessions also. As most of you know I limit the number of sessions I shoot each month so that I can ensure great customer service and so that I can spend time with my family as well.
Phew..thanks so much to each and every one of you for making 2009 a fabulous year! I never dreamed I would have my own studio and booking sessions in Jan. for Sept It’s pretty awesome! THANK YOU!
Lately I have had LOTS of boys in the studio. So here are just some of my faves…
