Just in time!

The maternity client from below ended up delivering early, just days after our shoot. Thank goodness we got the maternity shots done in time! Sweet baby girl "S" looks pretty darn happy to be here, though, don't you think?
I was so thrilled that we caught this great smile!
S was the most smiley and the most sleepy newborn that I've ever had, I think. She let us move her around a ton, it was great!
So content.
Recreating a shot from the maternity. This time with babe in arms. :)

S was born in the Chinese year of the rat, and I just had to incorporate the pillow that her parents had for her to signify that fact into the photo shoot somehow. I looked it up, and I am also a year of the rat baby! Just a few years' difference though. ;)


What girl wouldn't want a gorgeous chandelier like this in their bedroom? I would've loved it and had to capture the beauty.
Thanks for having me over guys, it was fun!

Senior reps

I'm on the lookout for some fabulous senior reps for 2008/2009. I've got positions open for one boy and one girl from each local high school, but positions are going quickly.
What does a senior rep get, you may ask? Many wonderful goodies. :)
*To start, there's no session fee, woo hoo!
*Then, 15% off of any prints ordered from your session.
*5 low-resolution watermarked images meant for your myspace page or facebook.
*And a nice, big stack of rep cards personalized with your images to hand out to your friends

Below are examples of the rep cards:

For every card that I receive from a friend of yours who books and completes a session....cash back in the hand for you! Seniors receive $25 for each friend referred, in the form of a Visa gift card, something you can spend anywhere! That can really add up quickly, just refer 4 friends and you've got $100 in your pocket.
So give me a call or shoot me an email at jmahoney72@comcast.net to see if I've filled all the rep positions at your school yet or not. See ya soon!

411 cards!

They're here, the hottest new thing, 411 cards have become a must-have among seniors. Give them out to friends...they have all of your pertinent information. With two sides, you can show off some of your favorite shots from your senior portraits and share your cell phone number, email address and myspace/facebook info too.
Exciting new styles coming soon!

Sweet maternity

Ok, this couple was just so sweet, I'm sure they got tired of hearing it from me, I just kept telling them how cute they were together. So in love and respectful of each other. Mom-to-be is just gorgeous, perfect round belly and tiny everywhere else...just how every woman wants to look while pregnant. And can you believe that she only had two weeks left to go? Still very nimble, hopping up and down like it was nothing. I remember me at the end of a pregnancy...you needed a crane to get me up. :)
I wasn't sure what they would think of doing some ice cream shots, but when I suggested it I couldn't believe that they actually had personalized ice cream bowls! How fun!


I adored their modern furniture, and had to use it in the photos!

My favorite!

L&J's sneak peek

Just another wonderful experience with this great family! Their sweet baby made his entrance and is so gorgeous...and that hair is adorable!
For this first picture, I had to include some of the dad's handiwork.....he redid the nursery really well, with paint, beadboard, chair rails, the works. And I just had to fit little K up on this cute shelf. The big monkey was the dad's as a child, it was so sweet, patched up and everything, like his very own Velveteen Rabbit. I love incorporating items that really mean something to the family.
Oh, and my dad loves their choice of universities! Go Beavs!

This was a fun capture, I loved how the little man wrapped his whole arm around dad's finger. Pure love and trust.
This has to be one of the best presents I've seen. The baby's aunt ran out the day he was born to have this necklace inscribed with his name and birth date for his mom to wear. So thoughtful and beautiful!
Brand new happy family!

Baby A and big brother R!

Had a fun time with this sweet family! R was just the best poser and A was quiet and sleepy and super sweet.

*As always, double-click to see photos larger.


Had to share this shot just for fun....baby A was blessing us with a little surprise and R was....surprised! :)

I love that we caught this little smile!!!

R & B and baby boy

This couple was so in love and so adorable and their baby boy was so gorgeous, sparkling blue eyes and such a sweet nature, I'm not sure I heard him fuss once! They put up with the chill of the day (this is June?) and even getting rained on a bit while at the park.
R and B are some of the most sweet and genuine people I've met, it was a pleasure working with you both, and little man J too! Thanks!
