Ben is two!

Some of you might remember Ben from his one year shoot:I won a prize in the Humorous category in the Miller's Baby & Child photo contest with this image last Spring! It was very exciting!
Now he is two! Such a big boy!

This is my new paper color....Hickory. I really like it!

The Mad man.....

Mr Maddox came to me for newborn photos and he was such a good baby! He was a chunk and he slept through everything! Now he is 6 months old and still chubby! I was excited to try the truck shot again to show how much he has grown!
Here he is as a newborn:
and here he is at 6 months! He has grown so much!

I love his big blue eyes! I just ordered the bathtub photo as a 20x20 and I have it hanging in my new studio bathroom! It is so cute!

Looking for a few models!


A few photographers are having a meeting of the minds at my studio, and the studio down the road from me. They are coming from all over! OH, MI, PA, MO, WV and IN!
I am teaching a class on Saturday January 23th, and possibly one on Sunday January 24th. (if we can find a newborn!)

For the Saturday class this is what I am looking for:
A 6-8 month old that can sit well and can't crawl. This will be for a few shots with clothes of your choice (I might make a few suggestions), and a few nekkid shots. The studio will be warm. This shoot would be at 10:00am and last about 45 minutes. This will be a complimentary session and you will receive 5-10 images from the session on a disc with a reprint release. You will also be able to order prints at a discounted rate.A well behaved, not shy toddler/preschooler. This can be a boy or a girl, with siblings or without. Clothing suggestions will be made. This shoot will be at 10:45am and last between 30-45 minutes. This will be a complimentary session and you will receive 5-10 images on a disc with a reprint release. You will also be able to order prints at a discounted rate.

We are also looking for a Bride (alone) or a Bride and Groom couple for a class on Saturday after lunch (about 1:00). Location to be announced (it will be in Millersburg, but not sure which church). If you are getting married or just got married, this is a perfect way to get some nice shots of you in your dress. This will take place at a church and there will be a class about posing you and there will be about 20 photographers shooting you....with their cameras!! For your time and trouble you will receive a disc of about 5-10 images from each photographer. You will receive a print release for these images.
For Sunday we are looking for:
A newborn that is less than 10 days old. Yes, I realize that means that he/she hasn't been born yet! But if you or someone you know is due around January 14-20 please contact me! The newer they are the better they sleep, and the better the session will go!
This will be for a class on how to pose and light and photograph a newborn. I will be teaching and shooting. And other photographers will be shooting as well. This will be a long session and will go from about 9:30-11:30am on Sunday January 24th.
With your complimentary session you will also receive 25 of my beautifully designed announcements (4x8 size). You will also be able to order prints at a discounted rate.

If you would like to be considered for one of these sessions, please send me your name, the names and ages of the children, and a short description of the children. If you are interested in being a bridal model, send your name, and a photo please.

I will be going through the applications this week. Thanks so much!

Look-alikes!

I met Baby G when he came for his newborn session in May 2008. His sister Baby A was born just before Christmas and I was so surprised at how much they looked alike!
Here are a few example....
I have taken photos of lots of brothers and sisters but I think that these two look more alike than any of them!
I was so happy to meet Miss A, and her photos will be ready soon!

I have been so busy!

I want to thank all of my wonderful customers for making 2009 a great year!
In case you haven't heard we had a big change here this year! In September we had our old barn torn down and we built a new studio! We moved in the first of December and we are loving it! It is so spacious! We have two shooting areas, a sitting area, a storage room, an office, a bathroom and a HD projector for watching TV, DVD's, and we can even play the Wii on it! It has gotten lots of use this winter!

I have been too busy to keep up with the blog, and for that I apologize! Here are some of the sessions I did this Holiday season....
