Many of you know the family member who spends the holiday gathering or family vacation behind a camera. I've done it myself, despite my mantra to "put the phone down". As much as I love taking pictures, that's not why I take them at holidays and school events. In fact, I'd much rather not take them. The last time Quin had an end of year performance at his pre-school graduation, I realized I had missed listening to the first song because I was frantically trying to get a CF card in my camera. I felt guilty. Luckily it started raining and they ran inside and performed it all again. But I still felt guilty. So why do we parents take pictures in the first place? If you're like me, it's often because of 'picture guilt'. That thought that if you don't capture your kid at that particular moment, you'll never remember it. That you'll child will somehow be worse off if they don't have a picture of every major moment in their life unless you document it. That all of your Facebook friends religiously post pictures of their kids' every move so you should too or you're the worst parent in the world. I feel it all of time, and I hate it. I want to be there, watching with my eyes, not my lens. I'd rather have the memory than an album full of pictures. But then the 'what-ifs' creep in, and I wonder if I'll regret not having pictures a few years from now. So I take them. In the past year or two, I've been trying to find a way to resolve it, to find a balance. So instead of feeling like I have to capture every moment of Quin's life, I've asked myself what I <i>really</i> want to remember. And usually it's the little things. I want to remember that he loved legos and airplanes, how playing in the sink could entertain him for an hour, how he ate breakfast by himself before the rest of us got up, and the snuggles with Daddy. So now, in the quiet moments when I find him doing those every day things, I get my camera. Just for a minute or two. And I don't feel like I'm missing anything. He does those things all of the time. The guilt disappears, and I'm left with pictures that really matter.<br />

He is the author of Last Child in the Woods and The Nature Principle, books that talk about "Naure Deficit Disorder"and the need to reconnect kids with nature. As I sat listening, I thought back to my childhood and felt lucky that spaces in nature held such a lasting place in my memories. I would spend hours playing in the field behind our house in Michigan, in what at the time seemed like a vast expanse of tundra, full of varying habitats. There was "the grove", a small patch of young trees, just far enough apart that I could wind in and out through their trunks or hide in solitude. "The prairie", which for an eight year old obsessed with Little House on the Prairie, was heaven-full of waist high grass and the little brown orbs that revealed a small white worm in the center when cracked open. Then there was "the hole", a depression in the ground just deep enough and wide enough that I could lay down and be out of sight from the rest of the world. It often served as my house on the prairie, full of simmering soups and a comfy bed of grass. Sometimes the dogs or my sister would be with me, but mostly I remember being alone and having time to think and imagine to my heart's content. When I look at that spot on Google Earth now, and the woods behind it that we used to travel to and from friends' houses, I realize how small a space it really was. It's not the vast world that lives in my memory. But that place, that space, that patch of Earth was precisely what Richard spoke about that evening. It was My Place. It was one of my earliest connections with nature.<br />
<br />
Shortly before hearing Richard speak, we moved into a house in the middle of the city. It's a house with "good bones", but in need of some TLC in just about every area. It hadn't been touched since the 1950's when it was built, but it was hard to resist-when you walk in it feels like a tree house. It's easy to imagine being in the middle of a rain forest while sitting in the living room. It's only a mile from campus, but it can take you to a much different place with a simple walk in the back yard. At one time, it must have been grand. The greenhouse was surely gleaming, the azaleas must have been pruned, the gazebo full of people enjoying a fall evening, and the treehouse occupied by a little boy or girl who called it their own. Now they are falling down, covered in spanish moss and vines, unloved. But I imagine that treehouse being rebuilt to its former glory-a space for Quin to call his own. A place where he can be alone and imagine to his heart's content. In the meantime, we've been taking adventures beyond the treehouse. We pick a walking stick, which we really use to take down any spider webs we come across, and venture out as explorers in the jungle. We journey down the creek bed as far as we can go-over logs, under trees, and around "tide pools", pretending we are Indiana Jones era explorers on a mission. This time the cat, a bold soul, followed us in our footsteps, traversing the same hazards and stopping on occasion for a good claw sharpening. Today the neighbor stopped us and told us there were some pretty flowers blooming on the floodplain-only for a few days. So off we went, on another adventure with Indiana Quin and the Tiger.<br />
<br />
This is where we found Mies just before we went out. Lounging in my old wash basin planter, comfy as a clam until she saw us heading towards the woods.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tdENLZLe2KY/T10MS6jji_I/AAAAAAAAD_8/hjM_ZdrGzB4/s1600/IMG_0140.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tdENLZLe2KY/T10MS6jji_I/AAAAAAAAD_8/hjM_ZdrGzB4/s640/IMG_0140.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
And this is the view from the living room. You can kind of see the remains of the old tree house on the right. The azaleas, while beautiful, have been neglected for years and are in sore need of a pruning.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d44tHLx778s/T10MVMe6xEI/AAAAAAAAEAE/R1AqyMhhqxc/s1600/IMG_0143.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d44tHLx778s/T10MVMe6xEI/AAAAAAAAEAE/R1AqyMhhqxc/s640/IMG_0143.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
The neighbor was right, there was a beautiful patch of white flowers standing in a sea of leaves. Each one had a colony of little red bugs making a home of the petals.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eVOg21CL0q0/T10MWvrk8iI/AAAAAAAAEAM/DERe-QF5QQ0/s1600/IMG_0152.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eVOg21CL0q0/T10MWvrk8iI/AAAAAAAAEAM/DERe-QF5QQ0/s640/IMG_0152.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Mies usually follows us down to the creek, but this was the first time she insisted on coming the whole way.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XpGPDbiF9Jk/T10MYZkw11I/AAAAAAAAEAU/o-kbgdcz3tE/s1600/IMG_0156.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XpGPDbiF9Jk/T10MYZkw11I/AAAAAAAAEAU/o-kbgdcz3tE/s640/IMG_0156.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
There's even a "wishing well" back there...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vrThefm6pX0/T10MfnfkF2I/AAAAAAAAEAc/omEAxi4NsYk/s1600/IMG_0162_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vrThefm6pX0/T10MfnfkF2I/AAAAAAAAEAc/omEAxi4NsYk/s640/IMG_0162_2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
This is the spot Q loves the most. You can't see it, but just behind him there's an old, run-down bridge. It's holding itself together just enough that he can use it to get down the bank of the creek bed.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V6cJvRbcdds/T10MjIgebdI/AAAAAAAAEAk/VwzO5ZHtyxo/s1600/IMG_0170.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V6cJvRbcdds/T10MjIgebdI/AAAAAAAAEAk/VwzO5ZHtyxo/s640/IMG_0170.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
And here she is, in hot pursuit of us...<br />
<br />

Q is fishing in the "tide pool". He wanted to go out and get some shrimp to use as bait. I think the shrimp would have been bigger than the fish.<br />

And so our journey went. They're not fantastic pictures, but they'll be fun to look back on. I hope one day Quin will remember the adventures in his backyard as I do.Christine Richmond Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936797360739016451noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563254320184812204.post-71729764257127453322011-04-10T17:59:00.000-04:002011-04-10T17:59:31.640-04:00Cool Cat/ Gainesville Child PhotographerDon't worry, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I have been a bad blogger though. Life's been busy...the camera has been in a corner for most of the year...it's slowly coming out. When I saw Quin pick up his accordion this morning and strike up the perfect pose, I knew I had to grab a few shots of him with it. So this afternoon we took a quick ten minutes out of our lazy Sunday afternoon to have some fun out on the street. There weren't many passersby, so the music was just for me, but I think he had fun anyways. Here are a few of my favorites.<br />

Mostly due to the fact that the mirror in my camera broke, so I had a month without anything to shoot with, but also because I just wanted the break. It's been a great first year in business and I've enjoyed every minute of my sessions, but this is the perfect time to reflect on where I want to go from here and what I want the business to become. It's also the perfect time for some creative inspiration, and there was no better place for me to get that than with the fabulous <a href="http://www.shannonsewell.com/">Shannon Sewell</a>. I find it pretty funny that I didn't discover her until we had moved here (she's from Portland). Not only did I get a fun day of shooting with her, but I also finally had the chance to meet some other fabulous ladies in the area who are all wonderful photographers themselves. I think one of the biggest things I learned from the day was that even if it's 3 in the afternoon on a bright, sunny Florida day, you can still get some nice shots. Normally I would have been worried about finding shade, breaking out the reflector, and saying "oh my, I can't have a highlight on their face". But Shannon wasn't the least bit phased. So out we walked in the sand and the surf with three adorable models. I can't wait to see what we all came up with from this shoot. Here are a few of my favorites...<br />

The last time I "saw" her she was still in her mom's belly, and now here she is, a smiley, happy cutie pie. I'm so glad this isn't the last time I'll see her because let me tell you, she has a dream closet full of cute girlie hats and clothes that I can't wait to use again. She has a pretty handsome brother too, doesn't she? <br />

I typically go through the images from a session three times before narrowing down my choices of what will go in a gallery. It often leaves a lot of "OK" images behind, ones that I might use in an album or storyboard. But sometimes I'll leave one behind just because I know it will need a lot of processing to make it good. Maybe it was underexposed, or there was something distracting in the background. Here's an example of an image that was far from being right straight out of the camera. It was the very first shot of this session, so a test shot really, and ended up pretty underexposed. It was still sharp though, and he's such a cute little guy that I decided to see if I could bring it back to life. Here's the result...<br />

So there you go. Not every picture you take will be great straight out of the camera. Sometimes they just need a little boost to make them pop!Christine Richmond Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936797360739016451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563254320184812204.post-24894136882560757522010-11-03T20:28:00.001-04:002010-11-03T20:29:55.815-04:00Get Minted!/ Ocala Family and Newborn PhotographerAfter seeing what they had to offer, I couldn't pass up a chance to be an affiliate photographer for Minted.com. I'm happy to announce that now all of my clients will have an additional option for ordering beautiful press printed holiday cards, birth announcement, and birthday invitations. So how does it work? Just go to my <a href="http://crp.minted.com/">storefront</a> and choose from a huge number of custom designed cards. Once you've made your selection and have placed your order, I'll upload your photo for you and their design professionals will make sure your cards look perfect. I'll still be offering my regular custom designed cards, but this gives you so many more designs to choose from at an economical price. Of course, if your interested, please contact me for prices and more details along with suggestions of which images to use. You'll see that I've suggested a few designs, but there are so many good ones it's hard to choose!Christine Richmond Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936797360739016451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563254320184812204.post-58522115156952065452010-11-01T12:16:00.001-04:002010-11-01T12:17:51.658-04:00Boo!/ Gainesville Family and Child PhotographyThere are many times when I debate whether or not to bring my camera with me for an event or special day. Often the iphone just ends up in my pocket because I'd rather be experiencing the moment than have my eye behind the camera, at least when it comes to my own family. But, this time I decided to bring it along since Halloween makes for some excellent photo opportunities. Here are a few crazy characters to put a smile on your face. <br />

The weather is blissful, the bugs aren't too bad, and the sun is shining every day. In honor of fall, the upcoming holiday season, and this glorious weather, I'll be offering sessions for 50% off the regular price for the rest of October and November! There's no better gift than pictures.<br />

Have trouble figuring out what will look best above the fireplace or couch? It's always tough to narrow down your choice of pictures, especially if you're not sure exactly what size to get or how to arrange them. Luckily, I now have a great new tool to assist you in those tough decisions. Either during an in-person proofing session, or through your online gallery, I can show you a variety of options including canvases and framed prints in multiple sizes and combinations. That way you'll be able to see what your images will look like on your wall before you order. You'll also be able to see just how great that 24 x 30 canvas will look compared to an 11 x 14. Here's just a sampling of ideas. And of course there are great discounts on wall packages!!<br />

Not only can they come in multiple sizes with rounded corners, but the front and back are custom designed (by me!) hard covers. These are such a great way to share the images from your session with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends. And with the holidays coming up, it's a thoughtful, easy gift idea.<br />

"What!?", you say, "it's not even October." I know, I know. But in the world of photography, NOW is the time to be thinking about holiday cards. Whether you need to book a session to get that great image, or whether you are one of my fabulous clients who would like to order cards with an image from a previous session, the time is here. I have many great cards to choose from, everything from modern to traditional. Here's just a sampling of some of the cards I'm offering for 2010. Each card also has a back image and can be customized to your liking. November 25th is the deadline for ordering cards, so book now if you need a session!</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TKIgveA2eFI/AAAAAAAAD60/mgufrLj0rsQ/s1600/example7.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

It's sad and happy at the same time. I'm am so grateful to all of the wonderful families I've worked with here that have allowed me to capture their special moments, and there is much I will miss about Portland including its endless locations. But don't fret, I plan to venture back to the great Northwest and offer a weekend of sessions every so often, so keep your eyes out. And for you Florida folks, check in with me starting in September to book your sessions. In the meantime, it's off to the Emerald Isle for a well deserved vacation followed by the chaos of moving 3,000 miles across the country with a three year old, dog, and cat in tow!Christine Richmond Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936797360739016451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563254320184812204.post-53195264181359946152010-07-29T00:41:00.000-04:002010-07-29T00:58:36.757-04:00Victoria's Growing Up!/ Gainesville Florida Baby Photographer<div>I can't believe she's already three months old, and how is it possible that she's even cuter than when she was a newborn?

It was a different experience for me, having complete creative control and not worrying about whether a newborn was going to be sleepy, or a two year old would be shy...I have to say I loved it.

He was full of smiles and completely on the go. Luckily the rest of the family was fully up to the task of getting those big grins out of him and keeping him wrangled. He had a great time walking the vineyards and checking out the plants. I don't know how I've gotten so lucky with the weather, but it was almost perfect (OK, maybe a little chilly) this morning for our shoot. I hope you guys had fun and enjoy your sneak peek!</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TEKKbA02hCI/AAAAAAAADz4/KOAeot61mUI/s1600/IMG_7753+wmcopy.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Cowboy boots=LOVE. Besides the swarms of mosquitos that they had to fend off while trying to look oh so awesome, we had a fun walk around the hood. As I said in the last post, I love just taking a walk around where people live and borrowing neighbors' lawns, trees, and garage doors. Luckily Portland is full of cool neighborhoods with endless possibilities. Thanks guys for sticking with it when you wanted to run full speed towards a can of deet (or citronella I'm guessing). :) Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TD8u93OnloI/AAAAAAAADxw/rIGfsXJkziA/s1600/IMG_7328+wmcopy.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I really think it captures that place in time for the family and years from now, hopefully they'll cherish having nice pictures of where they lived. Laurelhurst is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Portland, so it was an extra pleasure to be able to shoot there this morning. Raife, you are a doll, thanks so much for being such a good guy and falling for my silly jokes and games. I think you were on to me by the end, but you still pulled it off. Thanks guys for a lovely morning!</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSy81-X0I/AAAAAAAADwg/GTiyy71Dsn8/s1600/IMG_7099+wmcopy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px; height: 500px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSy81-X0I/AAAAAAAADwg/GTiyy71Dsn8/s1600/IMG_7099+wmcopy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492793730811191106" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSyadoKVI/AAAAAAAADwY/jB0b2qe3URo/s1600/IMG_6975+wmcopy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px; height: 500px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSyadoKVI/AAAAAAAADwY/jB0b2qe3URo/s1600/IMG_6975+wmcopy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492793721582266706" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSxzKbdWI/AAAAAAAADwQ/ZH-dyh2jdoM/s1600/IMG_6751+wmcopy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px; height: 500px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSxzKbdWI/AAAAAAAADwQ/ZH-dyh2jdoM/s1600/IMG_6751+wmcopy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492793711032759650" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSkhIPwOI/AAAAAAAADwI/KA1meuRt-cE/s1600/IMG_6806+wmcopy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px; height: 500px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSkhIPwOI/AAAAAAAADwI/KA1meuRt-cE/s1600/IMG_6806+wmcopy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492793482853466338" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSkAsA72I/AAAAAAAADwA/d-8-sGj4Kdo/s1600/IMG_6828+wmcopy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px; height: 500px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSkAsA72I/AAAAAAAADwA/d-8-sGj4Kdo/s1600/IMG_6828+wmcopy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492793474145120098" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSjjoRl9I/AAAAAAAADv4/3HZ8_sNxU50/s1600/IMG_6761+wmcopy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px; height: 500px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSjjoRl9I/AAAAAAAADv4/3HZ8_sNxU50/s1600/IMG_6761+wmcopy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492793466344806354" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSjJtzjOI/AAAAAAAADvw/lKhus8JkE7o/s1600/IMG_7037+wmcopy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px; height: 500px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSjJtzjOI/AAAAAAAADvw/lKhus8JkE7o/s1600/IMG_7037+wmcopy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492793459388681442" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSiljoMmI/AAAAAAAADvo/Gw31nL71y70/s1600/IMG_7071wm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 750px; height: 500px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TDpSiljoMmI/AAAAAAAADvo/Gw31nL71y70/s1600/IMG_7071wm.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492793449682317922" /></a>Christine Richmond Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936797360739016451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563254320184812204.post-15331130912786961502010-06-28T18:51:00.000-04:002010-07-18T01:13:54.097-04:00Toddler Time/ Portland Child Photography<div>I think the greatest side benefit of this job is getting to see old friends and meet their new families. While I've known these guys for a long time, it's been years since I've seen them, and this was the first time I had the pleasure of meeting their new addition, Hayden. What a happy little guy! It was a glorious summer day in Michigan and luckily we found just enough shade to work with at the Children's Garden. I'm so glad the stars aligned to allow me to photograph your beautiful family.

This gorgeous mama was truly ready to pop when we met up at the Children's Garden at Michigan State University on Friday (lovely trip back to my home state by the way). I was fully expecting a call that week saying "never mind, she's in labor", but luckily, little girl was nice and snug as a bug in there and let us get some beautiful belly shots of her mom and family. Susi is a "more like a sister" cousin of one of my dearest friends, who decided to surprise her with a photo session. What a great gift! Susi, you have an amazingly adorable family and I hope you had a smooth day today meeting your new little girl. It was a pleasure to meet you guys, I just wish I was around to do your newborn pictures! </div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RF9PvNzUT6M/TCgXDpkt3SI/AAAAAAAADqk/bJOHCAFlL20/s1600/IMG_6122wm+vint+copy.jpg"><img style="display:block;

So how does it work? Just invite 4-5 of your child's friends to your home or a nearby park and have a fun play date while I do mini-sessions with the little ones. Each child will get 15-20 minutes to strut their stuff in front of the camera (or rather, have me chase them around acting silly), and afterwards, your pictures will be posted in a private online gallery. So what does it cost? That's the best part, there's no session fee, and even better, the host will receive a $50 print credit! Parents simply order any prints they want from the gallery. And to make it even more fun, any brave moms or dads can get a complimentary low-resolution profile picture for use on Facebook or other social networking sites. How fun is that!? And wait, there's one more offer...any families who book a full session that day will get $50 off their session fee. Interested? Give me a call or send me an email to set up your party today!Christine Richmond Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00936797360739016451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563254320184812204.post-84639074085042056982010-06-08T13:57:00.000-04:002010-08-22T17:54:23.304-04:00All About Me Books/ North Central Florida Child Photographer<div>If you're anything like me, you're constantly thinking that you should be writing down more about you child, documenting those funny things they say or do, or taking more pictures. Before you know it, the memories fade and you can't remember when they took their first step or what their first word was. Well, here's a great solution.
