"Peeking In On Mother"

Portraiture 3rd Place

This extraordinary print was captured while the mother calmed and soothed her baby for us to continue their Fine Art Session. As I sat there waiting and watching this most intimate time between mother and child, I was moved and captivated at the beauty of both of them and knew I could not let this precious moment slip by. This is, by far, one of my most beloved prints of all time.

"No Luck Today"
Portraiture 2nd Place
Caught on the fly, running after this delightful 2 year old and---WOW! Did we ever capture incredible images of Nick! Michelle stood by with a reflector and an outstretched hand ready to catch him if he leaned forward a little to far! We knew he was cute but he surprised us with a wide variety of fantastic facial expressions. Just look at this pout! The judges and audience loved it!

"God's Promise"
Portraiture 1st Place
How could we not title this "God's Promise"? For everyone is, and when we saw Mia in this perfect pose as if she were listening to God's whisper from the Heavens, we knew it was perfect. This portrait was praised by the judges as unique in infant portaiture: they were awed and surprised at the use of deep, rich colors and the ability to evoke the art era of Renaissance and Baroque.

Winning Best of Show is quite an honor. A Best of Show print is chosen by the judges as the top print of ALL categories, of ALL prints.

"Earth Goddess"

Best of Show and Art Tech 1st Place

This portrait was captured during a Senior Portfolio Session in Annalise's Sun Room. She is a vibrant and absolutely beautiful young lady who enjoys an active lifestyle as well as the arts. She agreed to do artistic posing and portraiture during her session and we obtained rockin' imagery! This print was altered for competition to be entered into the Art Tech Category. You should see it in person!

4 months: this is a really fun time since your baby is most likely to starting to smile, Has lots of great eye contact, and has probably found his/her toes! For this session, a simple outfit will be nice but we'll also photograph your baby in just his/her diaper.

8 months: by this session your baby should be sitting up on his own very well. Bring several outfits for different looks. Consider having your baby in just their diaper again. I have a few "props" to help contain babies who are great crawlers!

12 months: your baby will be standing and most likely walking by this session. We'll definitely get a good workout chasing them around! Your home is a perfect location because your toddler is most comfortable in their enviornment! We can change outfits for different looks, play with all their favorite toys,or consider a small cake for the end of the session and let them dig in!

Once your Milestones Collection has been completed we highly recommend annual professional portraits of your children.
