Maternity Marketing with Kay Eskridge, M.Photog.Cr., CPP

Babies are born every day—so there are a lot of expecting mothers out there! Maternity and newborn photography is your way into that market, but you have to do it right. Thankfully, Kay Eskridge is here to show you how. She knows the marketing ideas to reach those mothers, from creating partnership marketing plans with doctors and companies to convincing clients of the value in designing nurseries around your images. She knows how to make even the most self-conscious pregnant woman happy with her poses (a true skill!) and how to get fathers involved (and why). She even knows the portrait programs that will keep the parents returning for all their child's portrait needs. She knows...and she's going to share this income-producing specialty with you!Member Price: $49

Successful Paws For A Cause Event

Saturday, May 9th was our second 'Paws For A Cause' portrait event and once again, with the help of loving pet owners, we were able to donate a lobby full of food, blankets, towels, toys, etc. to the animal shelters who so desperately need help. Through the PACC911 (Phoenix Animal Care Coalition, http://www.pacc911.org/) the donations were able to reach many small rescue shelters and the pets in their care.

The day was filled with wonderful animals, lots of fur and even two tortoises. Here are some images showing our 'pet wranglers' Kristin and Jamie hard at work, the results of their efforts and a few fuzzy little faces.

We appreciate those that supported our campaign and will be contacting you as soon as your images are ready to view on our website. Your complimentary 5x7 and our thanks will follow.

Look for our next Paws For A Cause event coming later this fall.
(I'll have the Benedryl and Red Bull restocked by then - yep, I'm allergic to dogs!)

Vintage Villas Baby Shower

We had such an amazing time last night with our great new connection . . . Vintage Villas! The ladies were launching their new line "Vintage Bambina" by throwing a baby shower to showcase their new furniture, accessories and clothing. Shoppers enjoyed refreshments, discounts and complimentary portraits from us. Here are a few of our favorite little Vintage Chic Bambinas.

Images of Form

On April 10th I shared an entry that was posted on my dear friend Erin's blog about her experience with me. With her permission (and if you looked like this wouldn't you give your permission too?!) here are a few images from her session. The best thing about Erin? She is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the out . . .

Right Place . . . Right Time

Last night I had the privilege of photographing the newest member of the Langbein family. Meet Jack. And true to form . . . he already has quite a personality. Just ask his parents!
