I really enjoyed the sessions this year – the kids were fabulous – lots of fun and easy to photograph! Here are some of the 289 kids I photographed this year!

Here are two brothers that have been coming into the studio since Nicolas was little. I photographed Ethan’s newborn sessions and have seen them grow! I always find it interesting that what an older brother does – the younger one has to copy!

Two more brothers. Bailey brought in a golf club and he informed me that he had golfed many times throughout the summer and he would rather not go back to school! Gabe said the same thing – he wasn’t ready to go back to school.

Breanne and Stephan have been in the studio for school photos for a few years now – Breanne doesn’t like to have her photos taken – but she’s such a pretty girl and I think this year’s photos was the best one! I loved how Stephan showed his personality by the way arrived with this awesome hairstyle! I think this was his best photo yet – and I think it was because he was just so comfortable and got a chance to show his own personal style!

This time I had four siblings come in. You can tell they’re related – they look so much alike! Easy to photograph – and Sara is graduating this year – hopefully she’ll come to see me for her grad portraits!

Can two brothers be more opposite? I love how Walker’s mom said he could do whatever he wanted to do – what a cool look!

Last year I photographed these girls, along with their parents and dog, on their property in the country. We did some fabulous sunset photos and we ended the evening by photographing them silhouetted in an open door in their old barn (you can see it if you go to my web page). When their mom came in to view the images and place her order, she said that the girls had said that they had a great time at the family session – because they didn’t have to smile once – or look at the camera! All the shots that evening were silhouettes!

When I photographed Andrea this year, I was a bit sad. I have photographed Andrea and her sisters for quite a few years and just this year I photographed sister Leanne for her grad and Tracy previously. I remember when I photographed the girls in a “Charlie’s Angel” pose and Mom ordered it for her husband (Herb) as a surprise and she had me write “Herbie’s Angels” on the photo – it was a blast!
Andrea is so gorgeous – and I remember the first time she came in the studio she was so tense.

This is the first time Justine has been in for school photos – but I had the privilege of photographing her twice in the last couple of years. She has the most beautiful smile and was so easy to photograph!

Meet Jack! His brother Andrew couldn’t make it for photographs this year – but he is graduating so perhaps he will come in next spring for grad photos! Jack and Andrew have come in for school photos every year since I started them in 1999! Jack wasn’t thrilled to be here so early on Saturday morning – but I still got some great shots of him!

4 sisters – beautiful, beautiful girls! And so much fun to photograph!

This time I had 4 brothers. Look at the curls on two of the boys! Just look at Graham – he’ll have the girls chasing him in a few years! Jordan was hamming it for the camera and he really wanted mom to order this image – but she wanted one to match the other photos. But Mom doesn’t know this, I did order some wallets of this pose for Jordan! They’re coming in for a family portrait tomorrow evening and because I’ve photographed them several times – it will be a breeze – and loads of fun with these 4 energetic guys!

This year I offered a School Calendar and here is a sample of Victoria’s calendar. I have photographed Victoria and her sister Mikayla – who both dance at http://www.stoneybrookdance.com/. Sister, Stephany doesn’t dance – but she has a gorgeous smile!

These kids were so much fun! They have also been in the studio before – I did their family portrait last fall and we had some great shots of the family! I love it when kids do their ‘own thing’!

Another new item I offered this year was a personalized Magazine Cover. Amber and Braedon both chose one – and they had so much fun deciding what the headlines were going to be! Just imagine looking at this photo 20 years from now – it will be absolutely priceless!

Let me say again that I had a blast photographing all these kids this year – can’t wait till 2009 rolls around! Thanks to everyone!

We have some exciting new options available this year! One option is the 2008-2009 Calendar.

Another item is the “Design your Own” Magazine Cover.

The “Design your Own” allows you to write your own headlines – three different headlines plus the name of the student and what he/she is “voted mostly like to…..”
