Summer Mini Sessions

I can’t believe how fast this summer is flying by!  I am getting ready to head up to Detroit to go to a workshop, so I wanted to post about the mini sessions before I go.  I will be back Wednesday night, so if it takes a while to get an email or voice mail response back from me in the next few days that is why.  I’ll have my laptop, but I know we are going to be busy day and night…

And I know that I owe some sneak peaks,  I will try to get at least one more out before I go, but no promises!  It’s been a busy week and I have been working all hours to get some galleries and orders done before I go.  I also had a fun request from Norm Van Ness (a great photographer as it turns out!) over at NBC channel 24 and managed to fit taping a session and editing pictures for a “Darn Good Question” segment.  It will air either this Tuesday or next Tuesday at 7PM, so watch if you would like some tips on taking better pictures of your kids!

OK, mini session info:

The summer mini sessions will be colorful, fun, and nostalgic! I’m going to have several themes to choose from, and they will all be in cute spots around downtown Grand Rapids. Backgrounds will be picket fences, steps, flowers, or alleyways which I will choose based on the theme.

Themes (choose one):
Lemonade stand with bowl of lemons, old table & cloth, etc.
Watermelon slices with trike/wagon (or parents can buy an ice cream cone from a local shop)
Old- fashioned pull toy (for babies)
Colorful pop in glass bottles with straws: 7-up, orange crush, etc. (older children only)

I suggest colorful clothes and bare feet or sandals!

Dates:
Friday July 31 8:30 AM – 11 AM and 6 PM – 8:30 PM
Sunday August 2 8:30 AM – 11 AM
20 minute sessions every half hour, your session will be shortened if you are late.
