3 Weeks

This is the newest sweet baby, Baby H. She is 3 weeks old. I had the pleasure of photographing mom's maternity photos also. Newborn sessions are quite unpredictable and therefore I leave plenty of time to do them.This cutie took 2 1/2 hours to finally fall asleep for that shot, and then woke up minutes later. The mom even said how patient I am. In order to photograph newborns and children you have to be. Big sister and brother helped with the session too.

Calling all graphic designers

I am looking for a graphic designer to help me design a new logo and marketing look for my business. If anyone knows a good one please leave a comment with the information.I would be interested in bartering for photography services.

Also, I'd love some feedback on my catch phrase - 'capturing life through the lens'.
I am thinking of using three words instead such as 'life...love...laugher'. Or how about 'the heart of photography'?
I'd love some opinions on which is more powerful.
All opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Gift Certificates


Gift certificates make a great gift. They are great not only for holiday gifts, but for valentine's day, birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers and for the birth of a child.
Here is a family shoot that was a holiday gift from a family member.

New Featured Gallery=Free Session

I will be featuring a new gallery on my website in the next month.
It will be called spotlight session and will be updated monthly.
Here is the best part...
I will be choosing a different child each month to do a free session with for the gallery!
All you have to do is e mail me (terry@aprettypixel.com) a recent snapshot of your child and they will be considered for the spotlight. Photos will be kept on file for 6 months. Please include all details in your e mail such as the child's name, age, best time of the day to photograph, etc.
Good luck to all and make sure you check back monthly to see the spotlight gallery!

Special Deal



Right now I am offering a special- a mini session and 11x14 collage print for $99(plus tax). It's only good for a limited time so don't miss out. Contact me for more information.

Triplets

I have the pleasure of photographing these three for an entire year.
They are now 6 months old and growing fast.
It's a challenge getting all three together but we did it. Thanks mom for being a great assistant...we had a real assembly line going for the individual portraits.

1st Birthday

This is the second time I had the pleasure of photographing J.
He's a cutie who has mastered the army crawl and its all he wanted to do during our session. His mom and dad got quite the workout...

New Years Goals

It's not often that I have New Years resolutions but this year I do.
Most are business related. One was to get my website up and running, and I did accomplish that one( though I will be continuing to work on it). The second one is to start blogging at least weekly.I have a few jobs to post since December and then I will try to get into a regular routine of blogging. I follow several photographers blogs myself and find it fun to see new photos and hear about their adventures.
Happy New Year everyone and stay tuned.
