My Little Guy {Rockford, IL Child Photographer}

April 26th, 2011

My son turned two earlier this month. He is my little Easter baby. I took him outside for some pictures today, despite the icky weather. He has so many expressions! It’s amazing what you can get in your own back yard with the right angle!

I couldn’t resist this week’s photo challenge because we just got a new puppy a few weeks ago. I’ve never had a dog to practice on before, so it’s been pretty interesting. I think it’s hysterical that the best way to get Chloe to make eye contact with me is to let out a little bark. Yep, I’m sure I look pretty ridiculous. Chloe is a 5 month old mix between an Australian Shepherd and a German Shepherd. She is a rescue and we are happy to be her new family. She’s pretty mischievous, but she is also very gentle, which is essential around little kids. She loves to sunbathe and have her belly scratched.

Sample Client Orders

One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is the day a client’s order arrives and I get to finally deliver the culmination of all the hours spent preparing, shooting & editing. Today, I had two different orders arrive, so it was twice as fun. I thought I’d take the opportunity to snap some pics of what you have to look forward to when you book a session with me.

First off, every full session comes with a proof book. Every edited image is included, and it is spiral bound so it’s easy to take with you to work or show off to your family. Plus, your proofs are protected by a plastic cover and thick cardboard backing.

All the proofs have the file names on the back, which makes it really easy to pick out your favorites for when you order. I always order these books as soon as I’m done editing the session.

When a client orders prints, they get the royal treatment. Everything comes in a pretty little box like this:

I print through a very high quality lab and always upgrade the paper to the linen finish, because it looks amazingly rich and almost reminds me of canvas. And of course, everything is in protective plastic.

Now you see why I look forward to getting these orders in the mail so much!
