So Many Sweet Faces!

We’ve had a ball wrapping up our spectacular summer special!  So many sweet faces…

We have a winner!

Well, we have to say we are in a place of SHOCK AND AWE at the response of our Beautiful Baby Contest!  We did not expect to have 31 entries, and we SURE didn’t expect to receive more than 1,200 votes!!  What!?!!

Every baby got a ton of votes and MANY of those votes were from people who did not know any of the babies- just people going online and viewing all the babes and choosing their favorites!  And drumroll please….. the winning baby is…..

 

 

#19!

Here mama wins a free photo session and CD of all the images!

Because of all the wonderful enthusiasm for this contest, we changed our minds and are now offering every person who entered the contest a FREE mini session** for their baby!  After the session, you can order prints OR you can order a CD of all the images for $150 OFF our normal package ($350 instead of $500)!   We’ve never offered anything like that before so be sure to schedule now to take advantage of it! 

(**All sessions must be booked between now and August 28!  These sessions will be just for baby, and just the one that was entered in the contest.  If you’d rather have a whole family session, or a full hour session then you can!  You just need to do our minimum order of $350 or get $100 off our packages)

Please call with questions!

And every person who voted in the contest (yes, 1,200 of you!) gets $100 off of any of our packages for July and August! 

We may be crazy for doing this but we loved the response to our contest!

Mixx it up!

I do things like go in for an oil change and leave with a new car.  Or go out to lunch and end up doing an impromptu photo shoot of my salad.  I’m not sure why I’m like this.  Be glad you are not married to me.

Anyway, new favorite lunch spot!  Find it  just South of the Plaza and soon to be in the P&L – The Mixx!  YUM! 

We’re looking forward to working with the brilliant entrepreneur who owns this place on some upcoming projects!

This little piggy…

When you have a whole mess o’ kids, I say steal their shoes, throw ‘em on a bed and shoot those piggies!  Thank you to the “H” family for bringing this band of houligans to my studio!

Do-gooders unite!

Nick and Sarah are two of the sweetest people you could meet.  They are into the environment and helping people and serving others.  It was a joy to share their wedding day and capture their special moments!

Waitin’ for babe…

When families with small children are waiting for the new baby to come… I think it’s a special moment in time to capture.  All the family dynamics will change with the arrival of the new baby.  The one who has always been everyone’s baby will suddenly be a “big”. 

I feel blessed to have these families come see me to grab that moment in life and pop it into a bottle to keep forever.

Sweet, sweet chub

There is nothing like some rolls of sweet chub and a big grin.  Can babies stay six months old for about a year? Is that possible?

Eclektica Models – A Great Shoot!

Wheat Photography has been partnering with Eclektica Salon in Briarcliff Village for the past 6 months.  This week we had the opportunity to photograph some of their favorite models with varying hair styles for use on display in their salon.  Check out how great some of these turned out!!!
