Liv is almost 3!

 

Her birthday is Easter weekend, so we’re celebrating this coming weekend with our family.  I can’t believe she’s 3!  How did that happen?  You all know…time flies (as we get older, LOL!).  I thought it was time for a formal portrait sitting with the littlest Miner.  See, even I have a hard time deciding which portrait I liked the best, so I thought I’d show you my top 3. 

You’ll also notice a brand new hand-painted, canvas backdrop I’m using.  I have had the honor of meeting Julia Russo.  She is a Master Photographer who has retired and recently opened an AWESOME boutique called Stork and Veil here in Alpharetta.  I bought this backdrop from her and am LOVING it!  It’s like spring, inside!

Contest - Location, Location, Location

How many times have we heard that in our lives?  It IS all about the location afterall. 

With Spring just about upon us (although with today’s weather, I’m beginning to wonder!)…it’s time to start thinking of those lovely outdoor portraits.  You guys have the most wonderful ideas of where to do shoots.  So, I thought, why not hold a contest to come up with some fantastic locations for outdoor shoots?

Here’s the rules:

  1. The location has to be some place new I’ve never shot at before (which, unfortunately, I’m the only one who knows that one).
  2. The location must be “free” to photograph at (for example: the Botanical Gardens are fantastic, but they charge a hefty fee - $150 per shoot).
  3. I’d really like to find some awesome Alpharetta - Roswell locations.  Those within Alpharetta and Roswell will receive 2 entrys for the hat!
  4. Contest ends March 31, 2008
  5. Every entry participant will be put into a hat and on April 1st, I will draw a winner. 
  6. Winner will receive one weekend session!
  7. Send all your entries to j9photography@bellsouth.net

I can’t wait to see the awesome ideas you come up with.  When thinking of these locations…make sure it would be a place YOU would want your family portraits done.  That helps you to qualify the location better.

On another note…don’t forget to “Spring forward” tonight! 

Gorgeous Family!

Forgive me for not keeping up with the blog the last week or so.  The site has been down for “renovations” and hopefully…we’ll have a brand-spanking new site up tomorrow!!!

I’ll just jump right back in and show you a few from a wonderful family I worked with this past weekend.  You will notice the two kids are exact replicas of their parents.  Unbelieveable, isn’t it?  These children were sooooooo good to work with.  Not a single complaint about ANYTHING…and enjoyed just playing around with me.  One of my favorite things to do with families is to capture them all “squished together” in some way.  Capturing the close bond a family has.  It’s so awesome to see how much these kids love their parents.  Mom and Dad…you’re doing it right!  Hope some of that will rub off on me for my kids.
