Halloween is Coming!!

Most of you should know by now my favorite time of the year is Fall and I absolutely LOVE Halloween. Now that I have my own kids, Halloween has changed a bit with the focus on the kids and not me, but I still love this time of year!

I am having my next Saturday photo session on October 10th. The theme for this session is:

Celebrating Your Little Pumpkin with A Bunch of Smiles!

Packages start at $40 and include 2 sheet prints. Larger packages are available, as well as Photo cards and other miscellaneous gifts. The session fee includes one child, with a $10 fee per additional child in the image.

Sessions are booked every 15 minutes and are by appointment only - with the popularity of this session I suggest you call for your timeslot as soon as possible!

Due to the restrictive nature of these appointment times a $20 non-refundable fee will be required to hold your appointment time.

The background for the session is still being finalized, but I would love to have an outside set - weather permitting! You can bet that it will be a fall theme with leaves and pumpkins, though!!

I am so excited about this session and just love to see your little pumpkin(s) in their costumes or fall outfits. You are welcome to bring your child in regular clothes and then change them to their costumes here - good luck getting it off of them after the session though!!

Call (602) 527-6595 to schedule your timeslot or ask any addional questions you may have about the session.

Bryan - Celebrating Life Newborn

I just love this family!! I have been their photographer since Ysabella was 3 months old (she is now 4) . This family is so blessed to have such a wonderful baby. Bryan was so easy going and his brother (Bruss) and sister (Ysabella) were so great with him!
If you are friends or family of the Bowmans and you know their event code you can see more of their images by clicking here!


Ysabella is already a pro at being a big sister, she was so happy to kiss baby Bryan and hold him!


This is Bruss's big debut as a big brother! He was very curious about Bryan and loved kissing him!


Sweet snuggle time with mommy.

Gabriel

I had the honor of meeting Gabriel just 3 days after his birth. Both mom and dad were so great with him and we took quite a few images of how tiny he was (especially with dad). Gabriel (at that time just Baby Sal****) had much more on his mind than taking pictures so we decided to reschedule with just mom and baby (dad had to work) to get a few more better quality images of just him. So we met for the second time after his Bris and naming ceremony and we were delighted that he was feeling more photogenic that day.

Here are some pics of Gabriel. If you would like to see more pictures of Gabriel and have an event code for his session goto my website http://www.abunchofsmiles.com/ click on the view and order tab and enter your event code.

I just love how he fits so perfectly in dad's arm.

So many quotes are possible for this particular picture. Feel free to add your own in the comments section.

So sweet...

May 09

Here is our slideshow for the month of May. Like in April, we had so many wonderful portraits, we could only include 3-4 from each client. I hope you enjoy and check back for upcoming promotions and new posts!

April 09

Since we had gotten so behind on our posts and we had so many clients in April, we decided to post a slideshow of select portraits from our clients in April. We only had room for 3 or 4 images from each client, so we had to try to pick out our favorites. It was so hard because they all turned out so great! I hope you enjoy!

Easter Promotion 09

Wow, it has been a while since we last posted! We held an Easter Promotion in April and Thanks to all of you, it was a huge success! We had live chicks and ducks and a live rabbit! The kids had a great time and the portraits turned out great! Keep checking back for more special promotions, or call and join our email list! Enjoy!

Cherise's Work

Well many of you have asked, so we put together a quick little slideshow of one of Cherise's family photo sessions.
I originally hired Cherise to help me, help YOU, make your image decisions. I know how tough it is when there are so many good pics to choose from! So little did I know what a gem I was really getting! Cherise is a fantastic natural light photographer! She especially loves to photograph Families, children, and High School Seniors. Sooooo, if you were thinking you really wanted some great pics, but Brenda really only does studio work, well now we can answer that request with Cherise!
Check out this one session with our good client the Hansen Family! Enjoy!

Valentines Day with Ava

Ava and I got to spend a wonderful, quiet, girls only valentines day this year together. Chad went up snowmobiling, and Tanner and Justin spent the weekend out with my parents. So what better to do then celebrate with a friend during her grand opening celebration of her new preschool - Primrose (Click here to find out more) and then have some fun in the studio! Ava was cutting teeth, so I got a little taste of the "fun" that goes into trying to get your child to cooperate for the camera.
Here are a few of the pics we got from our time together.



I love this picture. She just has the most precious look on her face and the biggest tear rolling down her cheek. So sweet.

Paige

This is Paige Babel. A 2 year old who is full of energy and life. Like any normal 2 year old, Paige found everything to play with and anything was more interesting than smiling for the camera. But I think we got some great shots of her and definitely ones that show off her personality, which I love to capture.

Chloe

The Krich Family first came to us for their living art session. Erin was so beautiful then and I knew that as a new mom, she would be no different. They brought in baby Chloe for her newborn portraits last week and the session turned out some beautiful portraits. Chloe is so loved and adored by her parents, it's really incredible to see! I am so glad they came in and I can't wait to photograph little Chloe as she grows and develops throughout her first year!

I love how she's holding on to her moms hand!

The Beyette Family

The Beyettes came to us when they were pregnant with their first child, Layton, and have been coming back ever since. They are such a loving and caring family and I know that they are so excited for their newest arrival. We can't wait to see their newest addition to the family, so stay tuned for some beautiful newborn portraits! Enjoy!




I love all of dad's tattoos! He even has a picture we took of layton tattooed on his neck!

Elisa

It's Twins! Elisa is expecting twins and will welcoming her bundles of joy later this month. I am so glad that we were able to get her in before she delivered. I think that the pregnant body is so beautiful and Elisa's was no exception. She is a beautiful woman and is so excited about bringing home her little boys. We can't wait to see them and wish you a healthy and easy delivery!

Cassandra

This is Cassandra's second child with us and we are always so honored to be able to photograph families as they grow. Their daughter Reagan is so cute and we have no doubt that their new little man will be just as handsome. We are looking forward to our newborn session with their newest member of the family, so stay tuned for some great newborn portraits!
