Well senior portrait season is in full swing.  I LOVE this time of year!  Tons of gorgeous subjects who follow directions and who don’t make me work up a sweat chasing them down and doing silly dances to make them smile.  Don’t get me wrong, I adore my tiny subjects, but senior portraits are nice for a change of pace for a couple months out of the year.   

I just finished proofing this beauty’s session and I couldn’t help but share some here.  LOVED her outfits!!  LOVED her session!  I hope she has an amazing senior year!!!

I don’t know about you, but I am thoroughly enjoying this gorgeous spring weather!  To celebrate all the beautiful spring color and lovely weather I thought I would offer some special spring mini sessions.  For the next two weekends (4/24 & 4/25 and 5/1 & 5/2) I will have a limited number of mini sessions available with the following portrait collection choices:

Buds~$125  Includes:  session + 1 8×10, 2-5×7s and 1 set of 8 wallets

Blooms~$250 Includes:  session + a cd with 5 digital negatives with one 5×7 print of  image

Sessions will last 15-20 minutes and are for single child, siblings or an immediate (parents and children) family group.  There are a limited number of these sessions available, so please inquire as soon as possible.  Email me at alicia@baybreezephoto.com with any questions or to book a session.

In honor of Valentine’s Day I’d like to announce our Share The Love Sessions. Book your 2010 session and get two for the price of one. You can either schedule bothsessions yourself if you are planning on two sessions this year, keep one and give one as a gift OR split the cost with another friend or family so that you both get half off your session fee. Offer ends February 10th.

I wanted to post quickly to say that I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!!  Things were crazy busy and I’m afraid I didn’t have any free time to keep up with the blog.  I am beginning to work on much needed updates to my website.  I’ll be sure to let everyone know when the work is complete and all of the new images and information is uploaded. 

You can now follow us on Facebook!  Follow the link and become a fan!  I have already posted some special offers there.  Look for more special offers and sessions coming soon!  And I promise and new blog post soon with lots of new photographs!!

Sometimes when I am in the middle of a session I get a shot that I just know is going to be THE shot.  This was it for this senior session:

This is my second “little sister” this year.  I took her sister’s senior portraits two years ago.  It’s frightening how quickly time passes!

This poor girl has been waiting too long to view her proofs.  Apparently I am completely dense because it never occurred to me (until recently) that having three children means that colds have one more little person to make miserable in my house.  I learned a few other things over the course of the past three weeks as well.  Do they get sick all at once?  Nope .  Do they do it when the pediatrician is in town holding regular office hours?  Nope.  Do they do it when the covering pediatrician is in the office closest to us?  Nope.  (Had to drive 45 minutes to the Dunkirk office three times in the last two weeks).  The poor baby is sick right now and on breathing treatments.    I can’t tell you how much I am hoping that he can kick this soon so we are all better and resting comfortably at night again.

Anyway, the moral of the story is that this poor senior has been forced to wait since I’ve only been able to grab a few moments here and there to work the past couple of weeks.  Her gallery will finish uploading tonight so I am really hoping that she will be thrilled and they will be worth the wait!  Here’s a little peek…

This is my first senior guy from the class of 2010.  The girls’ sessions begin in June because they are so excited about their senior portraits, but I usually don’t see the guys until school is about to start.  I really enjoyed meeting this senior and his family.  I love the way his portraits came out.  Even if he wouldn’t jump into the pool for me….   

I have one more senior session to proof and then that’s it for the Class of 2008. Just in time for my phone to start ringing with requests from the Class of ‘09. Anyway, I can not tell you how much I loved proofing this session! First off, it was for a senior GUY! I think I have one guy for every 10-15 senior girls, so it is always fun to get them in front of my camera. Secondly, he and his family were just so nice to work with. I’m thinking about hiring his little brother as an assistant. He kept his big bro laughing the entire time. And lastly, well, just look at him! I hope I don’t break any teenage hearts by posting these here. Oops! I hope I’m not embarassing him. I’ll shut up now.
