Baby Weekend 3.0- comin April 16/17/18

Baby Weekends have been going so well that I'm already scheduling one for next month. Those who book before 3/27 at noon (E.S.T.) will receive a free 8x10 print. Retainers must be paid to be booked! Also, I'm opening the hour sessions up to families of 4 who would like some group shots. I will email you rates based on the number of people in your party. Please leave a comment with how I can contact you, who you'd like photographed and if there is a preferred day/time based on the schedule! All comments with private information will be left private.

 We're at it again! The next Baby Weekend is April 16th, 17th and 18th. There are a total of 15 available spots  so make sure to contact me A.S.A.P. if you want to get in on the fun! I've scheduled this upcoming marathon just in time for all those sweet easter outfits.

 What is Baby Weekend? Chaos and a lot of work for me, but super rewarding! I book multiple portrait sessions of babies (age 0- 10 yrs. old) each day and shoot my heart out. 

 How long is each session? I book each baby for 1 hour. Typically, shooting only takes a half hour but sometimes there are cranky babies and wardrobe changes to figure in, so that extra half hour is a nice bumper if needed. I run the hours consecutively so it's important to be on time! 

 What do we get for booking during baby weekend? Notoriety. Fame. Fortune. Well, ok, not really. It would be nice if I could provide all that though, right?? You'll get 20-30 fully edited images of your munchkin in your email within a week to share on facebook and emails and a disk of the full-sized images with private reproduction rights within 3-4 weeks. Also, after every B.W. I will do a contest that lasts about a week, whichever baby picture gets the most votes is printed, matted and framed for the proud parents as a special prize. 

 Can we use the pictures to enter Baby other contests? Absolutely, but there are a couple of stipulations. 1. You have to tell me! I like knowing how other people like my work, it keeps me motivated and knowing people are in love with their portraits. 2. You need to provide credit to me. You can either link back to here, my FB fan page, or my blog (http://bossyphotographer.blogspot.com/). This helps other people get ahold of me to book their own portraits and keeps me in work.

 So, how much does this cost me? $85.00. I know, I know... it sounds like a lot but consider what your portraits mean to you and how much you'll spend going to the Big Chain portrait studio. You get the images and the rights to print as many and as big as you want with no extra charge from me. I don't require a minimum package or purchase ammount and there's no watermark for you to try and Photoshop out when you decide to print more (you know who you are!). I do give discounts to families with more than 1 child.

 Where is Baby Weekend held? We shoot in Niagara Falls (NY) and surrounding parks. There is both an indoor studio location and beautiful outdoor locations.

 How do I get in on this AWESOME opportunity? Leave me a comment with how you want me to contact you- FB, e-mail, phone, carrier pigeon... whatever is easiest for you. (Additional fees apply for carrier pigeon.)

We're booking-  Due to popularity I have added an extra session to each weekend day and made it a long weekend by adding 3 sessions to Monday! Perfect for spring break families who have busy weekends.

Angel, Alaina, Abby and Amelia

 At the beginning of the month I had the chance to photograph newborn Amelia and her big sister, Abby. Well mom and dad (Jess and Mike) decided to bring in all 4 of their beautiful daughters for Baby Weekend. They're all so different and full of personality, it was a great finish to a fantastic weekend.








 Thank you so very, very much for coming out a second time for portraits! You have such a gorgeous family and I enjoyed photographing all of them.

Kaleigh and Her Cake Smash!

While all the shoots were fun, this one was especially fun since little Miss Kaleigh turned 1 and we celebrated with a Cake Smash! She arrived with proud parents Danielle and Derrick, and her friends Gracie and Vicki, decked out for some sweet portraits. Little did she know what was in store! This session warrants a few extra pics and if you're interested in celebrating your sweet one's first birthday with a Cake Smash session let me know.











 It was so great shooting this little cutie, thanks so much for coming out everyone! P.S. did you check out the makings of a face plant 4 shots up?

Gracie

 This little beauty is Gracie and she came in with mom Vicki for her Baby Weekend session Sunday afternoon. She took awhile to really warm up but she really lit up towards the end. Serious or silly she was still great to have in front of the camera. 






 Thank you both for coming to me for your portraits! You two are great!

Amanda's Boys

 I shot one of these beautiful boys last month during Baby Weekend and was so happy to hear that Amanda wanted to book shots of her two oldest as well. They are Colden, Ayden and Keegan. And with mom Amanda they make for one stunning family!







 Thanks so much Amanda and sons for the shoot and the coffee!

Lexi

 Lexi is one of the most theatrical kids I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She showed up ready for her close up w her mom Maria and aunt Anna. I really hope to hear that this kid has taken a shining to theater as she grows up. 





 Big thanks to the three of you for coming out for the session. I had a great time and hope you did as well!

Carter and Sophie

 These little darlings are Carter and Sophie. They came in with mom and dad, Kristen and Nick and make an absolute beautiful family! They were so easy-going I feel like their shoot was quick and easy.








 Your children are gorgeous, Kristen. Thanks so much for coming out, and especially to Theresa for the referral!

Kaleb

 This little cutie, Kaleb, is going to be a big brother soon! He and his mom came in for my first Baby Weekend hour and he really made me earn those beautiful smiles. I'm a big fan of children's portraits as they naturally are and enjoyed getting some shots of the serious side of Kaleb. 





 Thank you Kristina and Kaleb, I cannot wait for your maternity session!

 This little cutie is 5 week old Amelia who I had the great pleasure of photographing this afternoon. She showed up with Mom and Dad ( Jessica and Mike), as well as bigger sis Abby, in tow. At the end of the shoot I also got to meet her beautiful bigger sisters, Angel and Laney, who I can't wait to photograph! These are some of my favorite shots from shooting the two youngest girls.
