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!

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!

Voting begins tomorrow!

I will post the caption entries and voting will begin tomorrow (12-23)!  Voting will end Dec.31 at 11:59 p.m.   I would love to donate the entire $500 to St. Jude so tell your friends and family, your families friends and your friends families to vote :)

Only one vote per household.  Good luck to those who entered and thanks so much for taking the time to send in your captions.

The blog has been looking a little blah with all these updates but no photos so here is a couple from our first snow session at the studio.

In the studio :)

I have been super busy in the new studio.  Lots and lots of babies :)   It really is starting to feel like home.  Thanks to all of you who stop by to see what’s new here on the blog and sorry my posts have been few and short.  I’m on facebook, look me up I’d love to be friends :)   I tend to post more on facebook as it’s easier and can do it right from my phone.  I think there is a plugin that I can add to my blog to make it easy to join my friends list but don’t have the time to sit down and figure it out so hopefully that will happen soon.

Hanging out…

Brothers Downtown

So this session has been a long time coming.  Mom and I met this summer when our boys played baseball on the same team.  Really enjoy hanging out with them!  They brought the Harley and their ipods.  Is that one cool bike, or what?  I have sooo many favorites…so many!  My daughter has a bit of a crush on these two.   I can see why, such handsome boys!

Posting Palooza Part III

What can I say except from the very beginning there was the “G” family.  I adore them, I have a blast when I photograph them, they totally get my style of capturing real moments.  I could have closed my eyes and just picked images from their gallery.  I love them all!  Thank you “G” family for your continued support and I am thankful to be your photographer :)

Posting Palooza Part II

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen this little fella.  I told his mom that I can still see his little newborn features even now.  He was a busy one and we had to be fast, but did manage to capture some still moments :)
