Preschool Photos

Filed under: kids! — lisamcdonald @ 5:17 PM

as some of you may or may not know, every fall I find my way into our childrens first little school…Preschools.   The first experience of school photos should be a good one – even if they do go downhill from there! HA.   We all remember those dreadful ’sit and stare’ photos from our childhood.

I pack up my little studio kit, wipe lots of runny noses, and spend some time taking some fun images of the kids.  I typically have between 3 and 5 photos for parents to choose between.  It really just depends how comfortable the child is in front of the camera and how much I can get out of them in 3 mins :)  I offer a few different value packages to choose from, or you can go A la carte – with no limit to print sizes.  Being that I am a small independent studio, I can also design storyboards as well.

Not only do parents get a free little ’mini session’ of sorts…but 10% of all sales are also donated back to their school.  So this can be a great fundraising opportunity for a school.   If you know of someone that is looking for a fresh look for their school photos, please have them give me a call!  Heres some samples.

some winter fun…

We reached 10 degrees today and all us Calgarians could not be happier.  It was the perfect day to hit the slopes with the young men and let them finally enjoy some outdoor fun.  I got to spend the afternoon with my dear friend Cheryl and her gorgeous boys.  This kept Jackson and the boys busy, and gave us a nice little break :)

The boys have been friends since they were newborns.

So, after we made it back to our house with our soaked little snowmen, we organized some play and tea. Little baby Tyler was just so happy giggling with us ladies that I thought…you know…lets get that happy baby into the studio! Who am I to pass up an opportunity like that.  Id also like to say that he is the first baby to NOT pee all over my studio. YAY!  :)  What a beautiful happy little boy he is.
