Alleyway Photography Model Search!

MODEL SEARCH! Do you or someone you know have a cute child 0-4 years old or a baby on the way? I have some new props and ideas I'd like to try. Your child will get a free 30-60 minute session and a $30 portrait credit. Please send me a FB message or email lori@alleywayphotography.com if you're interested. I will finalize the details as soon as I know how many children are interested in participating. Parents must sign a portrait release allowing me to use their child's image in advertising, brochures, Facebook or other types of print or web media that I deem appropriate and tasteful.

The many expressions of Caleb - 3 months

Here is a sweet boy that I have the privilege of watching grow.  His parents purchased one of my 1st year Baby Plans.  I love seeing all the changes in both personality and looks when these little people come back to see me every few months.  Caleb is so laid back and normally smiles a lot, but on the day of this session, he decided to provide us with many OTHER expressions.  lol  Take a peak at the video and you'll see what I mean.  This set cracks me up!  :-)

A recent maternity & newborn session

I had the privilege of going out to Lisa's house for her maternity session and then again right after her baby boy was born.  Here is a sneak peek video.  Please select 1080p HD when viewing. (You can choose that at the bottom of the video screen.) Enjoy!  You can also view the images separately on my Facebook fan page at www.facebook.com/AlleywayPhoto even if you're not a Facebook user.

Cute cowboys...a great way to spend the day!

How can anyone resist such cute little cowboys?  I've known mom and dad for a few years, but since they now live in Alaska, I didn't meet these adorable boys until last weekend.  I'm so happy that they were able to take an afternoon during their vacation to meet up with me for a great family session!  It was so much fun and even when it got close to nap time and the boys started getting a little grumpy, Daddy stepped up his game with a song that brought big smiles to their faces every time he sang it.  It was really funny to watch them just light up when he started to sing.  Here are just a few of my favorites...

Sweet baby boy

This little guy is soooooo adorable!  I loved having the opportunity to do his newborn session!  Daddy and Mommy were so patient.  Extra points to Daddy for going on even after baby left a present on his chest during a diaper off moment.  lol  Doesn't Baby C have a sweet face?  And just look at the scrunchy nose one...hilarious!

REMINDER! Session fee discount ends February 28th!

20% DISCOUNT off session fee applies to any type of Blue Ribbon Session on any future date. (Maternity, Newborn, Children, Seniors, Family).

The session fee has to be paid by February 28, 2010 in order for you to get the discount.

The Blue Ribbon Session fee is my "no session fee" session. You make a deposit toward your future order, and I waive the normal $100 session fee. So, any day it's already a $100 savings.

Until the end of February, you will save an additional $55 by paying $220 instead of $275, but you will still receive a credit of $275 toward your future order.

Don't have to pick your session date yet unless you want to.

It's like buying your self a gift certificate to use at any time in the future!

I'm looking forward to making memories with your family!

Stories - 2

This one is from a few years ago. If I remember correctly, this was Hannah's one year shoot. This shot was after almost two hours of trying lots of different things to get a happy look on her face. She was having a hard day and had been crying or fussy for most of it. We did get some other great pics in before this, but this is one of my favorites from that day. I got it by playing peek-a-boo through a white wooden rocking chair. :-) Playing with little ones is one of the ways you can get them to perk up or smile.

Genevieve is ONE! (I can't believe it!)

I probably overdid it a little with the preview on this one, but this is my niece Genevieve. Her mom and I have been best friends for 20 years, so I'm Aunt Lolo. :-) I can't believe she is one year old already! This year has flown by SO fast. It might have something to do with the fact that I also had a baby in April last year. It was the first time in our 20 year friendship that we've had a baby the same year and NO we didn't plan it. lol It's been so fun watch her grow. She was already walking a few months ago, so now she's on the run. Isn't she ADORABLE?!

Aren't these kids cute?!

I've been photographing these kids for three years. One of the main things I love about being a photographer is the opportunity to watch families grow and be a part of providing great memories for them. I can't believe Henry turned one already! It seems like just last week that I was taking mom's maternity portraits and his newborn session portraits. He is such a cute little guy! It was really fun to go out to their new house for his 1st birthday session and to include his big sisters, too. Here is a sneak peek for mom.

Just for fun - Austin - 6 1/2 weeks

Just had to share these snapshots of Austin today. He's 6 1/2 weeks now and already in 3 month outfits. Uncle Mark picked this one out for him, so here he is...just chillin'.

How YOU doin'?


What up, dawg?

My baby

For those of you who don't know, we welcomed a new addition to our family on April 5th. His name is Austin and we think he's pretty cute. Here are a few images of our new baby with his biggest fans. :-)
