What a sweet little thing this wee one was — the most amazing red hair, gentle face, and sweet little toes and ears. The best part of photographing newborns is the quite moments in between everything when I just get to take it all in. What a privilege to be with parents in these first precious days. I generally like B&W photos with newborns, but I simply couldn’t resist some color with little Meredith.
I love photographing newborns, but it’s been some time since I’ve had a little one in the studio. In celebration of sweet little Meredith’s session, scheduled for Mother’s Day, here’s a flashback to the angelic Rowan.
A reminder re Flasback Fridays…. On Fridays in 2010, I am posting an image or two from a past session. They could be as recent as the week before or from 2006, my first year in business. No names will be provided, but if you spot yourself or your kiddo in the Friday Flashback, drop me a quick email to claim a complementary 8×10 of the image and a gift certificate for $50 toward a future session for yourself or to pass along to family or friends. Be sure to check back every week, as you must be in touch before the next Friday to qualify for the photo and certificate (that email needs to reach me by midnight on Thursday). You can check the blog or, to get a reminder each week, become a Facebook Fan of Laura Brophy Photography, which has a feed from the blog.
And what if I don’t post on a Friday? The first person to email me with a friendly reminder on Saturday receives a $50 gift certificate toward a session for their immediate family’s use. (Sorry, this one can’t be passed along.) You are only eligible to receive this award once in 2010.
A few details to keep in mind: Only one certificate may be redeemed per session. The certificate must be used within 1 year from the Flashback Friday in which the image appeared and may be applied towards a wedding, family or senior session. There will be few “black out” special mini session dates for which you may not apply the Flashback Friday certificate. Those will be noted when posted. Certificates may not be sold and have no cash value.
Please note that Flashback Friday is a feature on the blog, and post dates are based on the BLOG date. The blog automatically feeds to Facebook. It can take anywhere from a few hours to several days for the feed to work. So if you are in doubt and you are trying to catch me on a Friday I don’t post, you’re best off to check the blog.
For the last couple of years, I’ve been creating custom Valentine’s cards for my special little girl, and others have asked about getting in on the action. It’s such a fun way to beat the winter blahs and have a little fun with February 14th. It’s perfect for our little cupids, high school students who want to have a little fun, or even our older lovebirds. Join me in the studio on Saturday, January 23rd, for a 15-20 minute mini-session. $50 fee includes the session and 50 complimentary little Valentine’s cards with envelopes. There will also be mini session collection pricing for digital files and prints, or prints may be purchased at prevailing rates ($25 for 5x7s and $35 for 8x10s).
This is also the perfect session for folks looking for some great head shots for Facebook or a dating site. Let this Valentine’s Day be a great start to finding a new love in your life.
Each session will result in a gallery of 8-10 images for your review and selection in an online gallery. The gallery will be available for 3 days for viewing and orders. Orders must be placed on time in order to print and deliver for Valentine’s Day. Late orders forfeit the complimentary cards.
The Details
The Valentine’s Cards: The cards are business-card sized, perfect for school distribution but not appropriate for mailing, unless placed in a larger envelope. You may upgrade to 25 mailable 4.5×5 cards for an additional $25. You will have a selection of card designs to chose from at the session. For those not interested in the cards, you may substitute an 8×10 print.
Multiple Children: You may have up to three children photographed together for a mini sesssion, with one set of cards. If you want individual images of children, please schedule individual sessions back-to-back. 1 child $50, 2 children $100, 3 children $125. All children will get sets of cards, and we’ll reserve a few minutes for a joint picture as well.
Mini Session Digital Collection: $125 includes 1 5×7 and 4 web-sized images, sized and watermarked for social networking, such as Facebook, myspace, or dating sites.
Mini Session Print Collection: $235 includes 1 8×10, 4 5x7s, and 3 3×3 Mini Accordion albums with 9 images. These sweet little albums look adorable on a desk or shelf, and travel beautifully in a purse for mom or grandma or even a doting aunt!
Backing up to September and we meet beautiful Rowan. He’s just three weeks here and absolutely delicious. He was not in agreement about my plan to have him sleep for some photos, but we got some great ones. I loved spending time with this beautiful new family.
I’m working on the blog and starting to update materials to the new logo. Things will be a bit of a hybrid until I can get everything rolled over. Sounds like a good project for snowy nights in January.
