Fairytales and Daydreams - Fairytale Portraiture in Boise, ID

On May 1st we welcomed several little fairies into our Fairy Den. We all donned our favorite colors and summoned the butterflies to fly and flit around us. We giggled and searched for other fairies in the forest and even saw a few! Afterwards, we all feasted on Nectar and Fairycakes....

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

I am having another Fairytale Event on June 12, 2010. You can view the event on Facebook here or keep reading!

At this event, girls 2 years - 8 years get to dress up like Enchanting Fairies and are photographed by me, Lauren Harms in an outdoor setting.

I CAN photograph little boys (1-5 years) as "Sprites". I am fine with an older boy, if they WANT to be a sprite!!

If you would like an older or younger child to participate, please contact me - The reason why we didn't include younger than 2 years is because they take more time, and older than 8 we have a hard time having dresses that fit properly and modestly.

When: June 12 from 10am -4pm. (see below for available times)
Where: Boise ID (you will receive the location when you book)

Cost: $49 creative fer per child photographed. Each child gets a 15 minute session with me - groups of 2-3 are okay, but you must book an appointment for each girl back to back - I do not guarantee posed group photos. Each child gets a Complimentary 8x10 portrait of themselves and a special prize. We also provide Snacks and Juice for everyone.

You may choose to purchase additonal portraits - Your deposit will go toward your order - We will have portrait packages from $79 - $499 and they include things like prints, keepsake books, and enlargements.

To book - Email me at SHADYLANESTUDIOS@GMAIL.COM with what time/s you would like, and I will send you an PayPal Invoice to complete the transaction. Your time is NOT reserved until payment is made - last year we had no-shows which was unfair to people who were on my waiting list.

You may also call me (Lauren) at 871-1232 but if I am with a client or my family I will have to return your call later. Email is best!

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

Tea Party ! - Boise Idaho Tea Party Photographer

Today we had a Tea Party! It was so much fun! Many thanks to everyone for coming :-)

We had fun with our bears, dollies, and loveys at the tea party table and pretending! We also heard a Fairy Story from Princess Brittnie and played Ring around the Rosie! We also got to have Cream puffs, eclairs, strawberries and apple juice for a picnic.

Here are some of my favorites in 2 slideshows.





To the Mom's of these little sweeties - these are not my final edits, I will contact you on how to view the gallery within 2 peeks with the final images.

Thanks you guys for coming! it was a blast. I also got to photograph some adorable butterfly fairies on Saturday - go check out my blog to see!

Fairytales and Daydreams - Sneak Peek!

Wow - what a day! I had the best time today photographing all of these little fairies, pixies and sprites - they ranged in age from 9 months to 9 years old! I know all of the families are dying for a peek, so here you go - in no particular order my favorites of each girl individually!










































I also had so many adorable sibling/cousin/friend images that I'll have to do a post just with those soon! All Fairy galleries will be complete by May 25th.

Now, I am going to rest for the rest of the weekend and spend time with my Mommy! Happy Mother's Day!
