With so many brides calling me back with a bun in the oven :), it was time to add first year baby photography packages! Check out our new packages, and give us a call if you have a little one on the way. As always, we can create a custom package to suit your needs as well.
We have our Arlington photography studio all set up for babies and little ones. There is also a great park nearby for pictures in nature!
Here is one of our most recent six-month old baby portrait sessions! This sweet little one has just learned to sit, and is loving her new world Six-month portrait sessions are always so much fun. She was ready for outfits changes, and all the chances to play with new things, too.
This is pure joy!
Just a couple of days left to reserve your spot in the Eternal Stories Mini Christmas Portrait Session Event! Join us for Christmas fun and pictures in your own special time slot.
$95 Covers your session, retouching, disk of images and 25 Customized Christmas cards!
One of the things I always wanted to do, but didn't have enough room to do in the old space, was to make a room especially for infants and kids. The boutique room is the prefect blend of these ideas - beautiful natural light, lots of room for kids, brothers, families, props, backdrops and fun :). Thanks to two special families, I have now had my first two shoots in the boutique! Ryleigh is the one-year-old of one of my special wedding couples from last year.
Ashlynn is the four-year old of a special friend of mine from college. She's the same age as my son, so we turned the shoot into a (hectic!) playdate, which included a romp in the park.
We have two parks nearby, giving us the perfect opportunity to do an indoor/outdoor shoot.
Thanks so much to these two families!
I have taken Eternal Stories on quite a journey this summer! We have said farewell to our old office space, and hello to our new studio suite in Arlington! 175 square feet, as a couple of my clients and families have seen, is not enough space to office, shoot, and grow creatively. We will be much better able to grow and create in our new space which is at least 6x bigger. My only regret is the fact that I have not documented the journey as much as I had planned here on my blog! So, I am now going to go back and share some of the pictures, thoughts, and moments from the past couple of months.
Our decision to move started when I realized how many of my wonderful brides from the past were coming back to me for pictures with their lovely new (growing!) families. I wanted a space I could be proud to bring these loyal clients back to year after year, with enough space to give them the shoot they were looking for. I had my eye on The Woods office park, even if for no other reason than the fact that is is less than a 4 minute drive from my house, and I would be able to meet a client at a moment's notice. I was immediately drawn in by the homey feel of the location - the windows, small front porch, back doors, fireplace and kitchenette.
Here are a couple of shots I took when i first signed on the suite, with ideas of how to make it "mine" beginning to form in my mind.
I knew immediately that this was just the place for me. I would have two rooms to shoot in, each achieving an entirely different look. The larger room is dedicated to studio shooting with all of our studio lights, and the other room is dedicated to natural-light shooting (perfect for newborns and infants!)
Now it was time to begin the process of moving and getting everything ready for the first shoot! Next blog posts on the topic will contain a couple of "after" pics of the new space.
