While spring has welcomed us with the promise of a colorful and fragrant season, we’ve
been busy at the studio, sprucing up for a season of portraits and creating beautiful sets for
children and adults.

Soon we’ll be photographing one of our Limited Edition sessions, Renaissance. Our
Renaissance set is a child’s fantasy come true with romantic castle walls and realistic
wardrobe. This charming indoor set transports young princes and princesses to a magical
Renaissance kingdom where castle walls provide an enchanted paradise to play. Royal
wardrobe is provided. Recommended ages 7 months to 7 years for this indoor location
session.

Ask about our Limited Edition pricing. Availability is limited. Call 614-633-0820 now to schedule
your appointment.

Before you know it, summertime will be here and we’ll be enjoying picnics in the park and fun
days at the pool. Oh, the memories that summers create. Some of the greatest pleasures of
our youthful summers are days spent poolside, swimming, and playing in the water.

I’ve created a new Limited Edition portrait session to celebrate summer fun. Underwater
Portraits is the perfect portrait session for kids who love to swim, splash, and have fun. Don’t
miss the opportunity to capture the essence of the fun days of summer with this pool portrait
session. Slather on the sunscreen and come to the pool location to create a fun portrait. Water
Babies is also a Limited Edition session and that pricing will be in effect. Call for details.

I’m proud to tell you about my involvement in the first National Charity Model Search
competition to select “America’s Cutest Kid” and to raise funds for charity.
Nationwide, 2,000 portraits of children 18 months to 14 years old were entered into the
competition, and nearly $112,000 was raised for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS.org).
NILMDTS is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization committed to assisting parents and families
going through the difficult time when they experience an early infant loss. NILMDTS connects
families with photographers and provides them with a DVD and a reproducible CD of the
images of their baby at no cost to the family.

Votes were tallied online, and anyone could vote. Each vote was $1, with all proceeds going to
NILMDTS.

Photography and industry experts determined the contest’s national winner from the 50
finalists, and the grand prize winner was announced May 1st. The national winner received
many prizes, including a $5,000 US Savings Bond and a Canon PowerShot G10 digital
camera.

The response for this competition was wonderful, and the best part was the money raised for
NILMDTS. All in all, the competition was fun for my clients, and it was heartening to be a part
of an event to help fund a worthy charity.

Be sure to join me next year when I participate once again in the National Charity Model
Search.
