Sneak Peek - Fresh Faces Contest First Prize Winner

I was so happy to finally get to meet this wonderful family - We had some scheduling snafus but we set a date and they invited us (me and my Husband/Assistant) out to their amazing Farm in Emmett! I was all over that - we had a relaxing drive out there...and for the photos, well I'll let them talk for themselves...



We went for a walk down the street and found (well, they knew it was there!) a dance hall. I loved the red walls - perfect background!



I love this photo! The truck was there and I asked them if it was abandoned - YES! That's like, photographer heaven right there!



I loved these flowers in their yard! (and the Baby J? The cutest baby ever - with the sweetest laugh!)



and the winner, of course.







Thanks so much - your home and farm are beautiful! I had so much fun.

Also (to all other readers!) - We are almost FULL for September! Please email shadylanestudios@gmail.com for available dates!

Grandparents Day Portrait Event - September 13 2009

Growing up, I was VERY close to my Grandmas. One lived just down the road and babysat me everyday while my Mom worked, and the other lived across the country in Pennsylvania. The memories and the photos I have of them (I have 1 photo of both of my Grandma's together and I am working on getting an enlargement of it for my apartment, I love it!!) are priceless to me. I never had professional portraits taken with them, and now, I wish I had. My Grandma Frances (My Mom's Mom) did have a professional portrait taken of herself in the 80's (I remember being completely awed by the professional studio and that I lost my Michael Jackson purse there LOL!) and my Mom has a 16x20 on her wall, and I can say "Hi" to Grandma everyday.

I recently tried to barter with someone for a prop I wanted, in exchange for portraits of their Grandchildren, they politely declined, saying they got to see their grandchildren every day. The sad thing is, we don't get to see our Grandparents everyday forever.

Very limited times are available for these exclusive sessions - email me at shadylanephotography@gmail.com or call 871-1232
