{Newborn} {family}

It was such a privilege to photograph such a gorgeous baby, lovely big sister and beautiful family. To my surprise baby E gave us a smile for every pose! Definitely knows how to win the camera over already!

Here are some of my favorite poses from the shoot..

Cotton Candy Photography has reopened its doors!

Dear friends,

Cotton Candy Photography is up and running.

Important information, please read:

How does "Cotton Candy photography" compare to other studio photography
well, it pretty much does the same thing, it takes "portraits" of your children.. but there are many differences, and I strongly consider them to be my stronger points
1- I offer edited pictures with an extensive knowledge in photo editing software. I can convert a picture black and white or sepia, or add texture, or vintage tones, etc. All pictures that I like from the photoshoot will have some degree of photoediting.. all to my liking.. and depending on the picture itself. In a regular photostudio.. they take the picture and just like that, they print it.. there is no editing in contrast, saturation, and much less textures or special effects (such as sepia, B&W, vintage tones, color focus, etc)
2- I am offering a long photosession.. At the regular, everyday studios, you generally go in, have the kid sit, take 6 shots and from there hope to get a good, or a great shot. The number of pictures I take will depend on the child itself, the location, weather, number of outfits, etc.
3- You get to choose how many pictures per pose, per size. The charge is per pose, so if I edit 20 pictures, and you only like one, then you only pay the prize of ONE pose.. plus the printing fee of the number of pictures you want per size (8x10; 5x7, wallets, packages, etc)
4- If you have your own accessories you wish to include, feel free to bring them to the photoshoot, I can incorporate whatever is important to you.
5- I shoot on location, I need a place with plenty light such as indoor near a big window, or outdoors like a park or any location you consider beautiful! shooting on location allows the children to feel more relaxed and shine!

How does it work? How much are the pictures? when can I see them?
Since pictures will have some level of editing, I will need about a week to edit them, then I will email the proofs and the family will decide which pictures they want to order and how many.

Updating computer/ and software

I am currently working on software update as well as in purchasing a new computer with better memory and disk space. My old computer is about to give out, I have resorted to putting the business on hold due in order to fix these issues, however, I am surprised by the numer of calls to ask for a photosession. I am estimating to have these issues fixed by 6-1-09, please call me back, I would love to take those pictures!

repeat customer, with a twist! :)

it's Miss V again! :) one of my favorite little girls, this photoshoot was a surprise for mom and dad from grandma. She is wearing clothes from grandma's trips to Vietnam, China and India! cuuuute! :)

Something a little different

A good photographer is supposed to be able to take pictures of different age groups and situations, here is something a little different than my "specialty"...

special promotion!

Just a thank you for all the great clients I've had, thanks to you I have learned so much, and got a bunch of practice. I have a long ways to go as a photographer, the more I learn the more I also discover my own limitations, but I am headed somewhere, and I now have a clear goal in mind.

Special promotion, one free POSE (excluding first pose) (10dl value) .. this is an awesome deal!
And here is my very own ballerina and her teacher (well part of her!)
the 5% off build my portfolio promo is still valid!




promo valid for shoots done from feb1-apr1 2009, previous paid poses not reimbursable

Mr A.. I love this little dude!

He's like a nephew to me, just about the sweetest little boy I know, natural observer, calm, gentle spirit. I love you Mr A! :)

And then, the parents, they are best friends, partners, companions... what a fun collage (I think so anyways! )
