Wells Visits Portrait Shoppe!

Can you believe it’s almost March?!? Wells is turning the corner on SEVEN months old this weekend.  Even saying that out loud sounds crazy… time is really flying by! Last week I brought him into Portrait Shoppe for new portraits. He did awesome (mainly because Shelly was playing peek-a-boo with him from behind the camera- he loves that game!)

Being the typical Mom that I am, I had to share the finished product with everyone! And as you can see, he can sit up very well on his own now. (Go Wells!) Oh-yeah, and any day now he should be crawling so things should be getting interesting… enjoy the portraits!

Dust off that camera and come to our Photography Training Class!

Who’s ready to actually learn how to use their camera at home? I know I am! I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of not capturing those special moments at home with my own camera because the pictures don’t turn out how I’d hoped.

Thankfully our senior photographer, Shelly, will be giving us all some tips that will have us well on our way to sprucing up our photography skills!  Join us for our Photography Training Class here at the Portrait Shoppe! Here are the specifics….

 

·        When:  Saturday, February 26^th from 11-1

·        Where:  The Portrait Shoppe of course!

·        Who: Anyone and Everyone! (Don’t worry all you beginners out there- all skill levels are welcome!)

·        Cost: FREE for UKC members and $49 for anyone else that would like to join us!  Don’t forget, this includes a catered lunch as well as our photographer’s awesome class.

·        How: Just call us at the Portrait Shoppe, (859)277-6671, and we will sign you up today!  Or click here to register via email!

I know we all wish Shelly could come over and personally photograph all of our kid’s milestones/holidays/birthdays/etc., (well, at least I know I do!), but since that can’t happen, the next best thing is for her to teach us how she gets those awesome portraits of our children.

You don’t want to miss this!! See you there : )

Meet Miss Taelor!

Sample month was a HUGE success!  We are in the process of creating tons of new samples for our galleries, and we met some awesome kids during their portrait sessions with Shelly!

We will be featuring all of our models in our advertisements, on our website, Facebook and of course some will be featured here on Portrait Shoppe’s blog!

 Our first model we would like to present is Taelor! She did such a great job during her shoot, and she is also an aspiring model.  With her curls and adorable smile (and a sweet personality to match!) this 12-year-old is well on her way to success.

So, here are some of the portraits from Taelor’s session for you reader’s to enjoy- we sure did!

Thanks again for participating Taelor!  And all you modeling scouts out there better hurry up because this girl is one of a kind! : )

101 in 1001- Who's With Me?

I’m an avid blog reader.  I love finding new and interesting blogs to read whenever I have downtime, even if that equals only ten minutes before I go to bed at night. Usually, I like to read blogs by moms- it’s nice to relate to other women out there!

Aside from Mom blogs, I like to find inspirational blogs as well. It’s so easy to have such a hectic schedule that you forget about everything in the world except for your own little sticky note of things to do. The other day I came across a blog that truly made me take a double-take and I wanted to share it with the rest of you mom’s out there!

What I found was the Day Zero Project.  It’s basically a giant to-do list: 101 goals to accomplish in 1001 days.  I haven’t started my list of 101 things yet, (keep in mind I’m in the presence of a 6 month old all day- I’m not superwoman or anything lol) but I plan to start this weekend!

Well, I hope you may also be inspired to start writing your list! I also recommend checking out the Day Zero Project Blog!

Baby Food Here We Come!

Now that my son, Wells, is almost six months old we have ventured into the world of baby food!  We started him on baby cereal at about five months and he did like it, but I found the cereal to be VERY messy. Baby food is much easier to feed him without getting it all over the place!

So far, he has seemed to like every kind he has tried, but I guess anything with flavor would be exciting to try for the first time.  You can’t feed it to him fast enough though- it’s the funniest thing.  As soon as he swallows a spoonful he will let a big whine and give you the, “what’s taking so long MOM?” face.

Looking back at his portraits I posted on the blog in November, I can’t believe he has already grown so much in only three months!  Now I am starting to understand why parents always say to cherish these moments while he is so tiny and lovable.
