Through the eyes of a child…

Frankie Wylie — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:05:20 +0000

That’s how I try to approach all my sessions with kids, from their perspective! Really, what kid wants to hang out with some grown up and be told what to do? Heck, I’m not a kid and there are even times *I* don’t want to do that

So, the best way to put them at ease is to just be their friend. You can play and have a good time with them while still capturing their wonderful expressions. Of course, you have to be willing to make yourself look a little silly to the other adults around, but secretly, I am always dying for an excuse to be silly!

These two brothers came by the studio with their mom and dad this morning to hang out and play. And that’s exactly what we did! Did you know that elephants and bears could fly? Did you also know that you can play a game that is a wonderful mix of “red light, green light” and “freeze tag” and get amazing smiles? I think the best game all day was making an elephant jump out of the soft box

I hope mom and dad had as much fun as I did hanging out this morning. For two hours I got to pretty much forget about my torn abdominal muscle and just be a kid again. Great way to start a Wednesday if you ask me. Well, that and a pain pill

Ohhhhhh brother!

That’s what’s coming for this sweet family, a new baby brother! They were in last Christmas for a session for their big little man last Novemeber. When mom came to pick up her order, she had found out they were expecting this baby! Exciting stuff I tell ya! Mom gets to remain the sole princess of the house! This time around mom and dad chose to do the Belly to Baby plan and the Tales From the Crib! Stay tuned for baby’s newborn session in a few weeks!!!

Pretty in Pink…

Oh good gracious!!! This little beauty is one of our Tales From the Crib babies. She is the most chilled, laid back, hard to make really smile babies I’ve photographed! However, I could just stare at her ALL DAY LONG! She has fabulous eyelashes, perfect lips, and the bluest eyes! We hung out this morning in the natural light studio and just captured her being herself! I can’t wait to see the beautiful little girl she grows up to be!

Did you know….

Frankie Wylie — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 13:54:33 +0000

That today is not Monday? Yea…I vaguely remember yesterday being Monday. Something about the summer and my kids being home EVERY DAY makes me sort of forget what day of the week it is

Did you also know…..

That we have a Book Club!? As our Tales From the Crib baby planners graduate, they can move on to our book club! What is Book Club? It’s AMAZING is what it is

For $650 you get 3 sessions per year, and an 8×8 album at the end of the year. JUST LIKE the Tales From the Crib plan! Awesome? Yea, we know

So, since this is a fairly new thing for Stylized Portraiture, we decided to make it part of our Manic Monday special this week! If you would like to sign up to be in the Stylized Portraiture Book Club, then now is the time to do it! Everyone who signs up for Book Club before July 31, 2010 will receive $50 off your fee AND a 10×20 storyboard at the end of their year! That’s a savings of over $200!!!

For additional information on the Stylized Portraiture Book club, you can visit this post http://www.stylizedportraiture.com/ask-and-ye-shall-receive/

Party of four!

Frankie Wylie — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 17:15:54 +0000

I swear four was the magic number here. Family of four, four minute apart contractions. Yea, all about 4. All throughout the session mom was hanging in there with some ferocious contractions! Having been on bed rest for FOREVER, this was her first day back on her feet! She had finally made it far enough that going into labor was no longer risky. And so, of course, having your photos done is the way to spend your day! I am not gonna lie….I was sitting there WAITING for her water to break. It would have been just our luck! The bummer for mom is……no water broke, and baby boy is STILL all comfy cozy on the inside! He’s just setting the stage for what he’ll be like as a toddler….everything on HIS terms

Jaaaaaaaanie. Janie, baby!

Frankie Wylie — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 17:10:46 +0000

Oh good grief! Just look at this precious bundle of joy! Heather usually shoots newborns, and occasionally we will tag team a few. This is the first one I’ve done by myself in a LONG time! It was a ton of fun to hang out with Miss Janie and her people. She has a proud big brother who was off the Atlanta Aquarium the day we took these. So fitting seeing as how he is Jonah These were all done in the natural light portion of our studio!
