Lisa and Ray were a striking couple. They used this photo in their Christmas card this year, and I have to agree with their choice. It's one of my favorites too! I love the sweet moment against the rugged landscape.

2008 Favorite Photo

Baby Aiden : Pasco Family Photographer

Meet little Aiden. He's 3-months-old and very chatty! I adore this age. Their little personalities are just starting to come out. He gurgled at me in between smiles, chewing on his cute chubby fingers, and discovering his toes. I really hope I get to photograph this cutie pie growing up. I know he's going to become quite the charmer.

Welcome Baby Collin : Kennewick Newborn Photographer

Babies! Babies! Babies! Aren't you all jealous because I get a week full of babies? I know, I know it's a living.

I'd like to introduce you to this little cutie pie. Collin was nine days old when I was lucky enough to photograph him and his brand new parents.

I had so much fun spending the day with them, and they even fed me a scrumptious sandwich from the local deli Collin's grandparent's own. You are going to spoil me! In return, I promise I got lots of cute photos of him in his WSU Cougar outfit.

Welcome Baby Grady : Yakima Newborn Photographer

This is a busy week full of babies. I'm so excited! If I'm not careful I'm going to catch the baby bug and want to have another.

Let me introduce you to my first baby temptation of the week. Little Grady was ten days old when his family welcomed me into their home to photograph him today. Isn't he handsome with all that blond hair! His big sister was simply gorgeous too, and I'm in love with the netting over her perfect princess bed. I want one just like it!

I had a hard time picking my favorite photo from this session. I had so many unique and adorable photos of Kate by herself. In the end, for me it came down to the emotional interaction with her mom. Plus it had a really cool old tree in it!

Then and Now

Little Mason is now 16-months-old! I thought it would be fun to show a few photos from five and nine months along side photos shot this week. They grow up so fast! sniffles I'm putting together an album from all of his photos. I'll be sure to post a link to it when I finish it later this week.

Happy 2009! Now how about some free stuff!!!!

      Thank you for helping to make 2008 such an amazing year for Summerland Photography! To show our appreciation, starting in January we will be running a contest here on our blog. 

     At least once a week, we will be showcasing one of our favorite photographs from every portrait session in 2008.  Be sure to tell all your friends and family to log on and check it out because the client whose photo receives the most comments will win a 16X20 gallery canvas wrap, A $460 VALUE!!! 

    Also, anyone who leaves a comment for every photo throughout the entire contest will be entered in a drawing to receive a Children’s Portrait Session or a $150 print credit.

    To give everyone the same voting time, comments must be made within ten days of the posting date in order to be counted. A valid e-mail address is required in order to leave a comment on the blog and to be notified if you are the winner.  ANYONE CAN VOTE! So log on and leave comments and help people win a fabulous prize.

     We’re so excited about 2009 because we will be offering even more products and services. You can now order beautiful canvas gallery wraps and standouts. For gallery wraps, images are printed on premier art canvas and wrapped around a 1.5" thick wooden stretcher frame. A standout display consists of a photographic print mounted on 1.5" thick, lightweight foam with a lightly textured black or smooth white trim around the edges. Both of these are ready to hang on the wall without a frame.

    But, if you’d like framing, we can take care of that too. More framing styles and matting options are available directly through our online proofing gallery. We will also be expanding our heirloom album line. We have everything from adorable 5x5 hinge-mounted albums, to gorgeous flush-mounted albums, and even a stunning ribbon-bound album. All of our albums are custom designed by us and made by hand by the best in the industry. No cheap plastic and cardboard allowed!

      With so many choices, it can be difficult choosing which options work best for your family’s needs. To make your decisions easier, we are now offering complimentary in-home ordering sessions. We’ll help you decide which photos work best and which products best fit your available space. We’ve put together a helpful handout that helps your organize your favorites and a guide that shows how your images can be displayed. Be sure to contact us for an appointment before your proofing gallery closes.

      You helped make 2008 such a special year, and we hope to see you all again in 2009!
