Of the numerous sessions I’ve photographed, I think I’ve had *maybe* four men call to schedule the appointment.  You have to admit.  Photos are a “woman thing” - - we get all weepy and sentimental when it comes to our babies. 

So this gift certificate sale is for all the guys.  I know ya’ll love a sale, especially if it means you don’t have to venture to the mall!  Surprise your wife with a Mishka Photography gift certificate for Mother’s Day.  Yes, Mother’s Day is May 9, so no scheduling golf outings that day.  You can thank me for that reminder later.  Bring the kids in for a session or, better yet, do a “Mommy and Me” session.

Gift certificates can be applied to session fees and/or prints but cannot be applied to boutique items (i.e., image boxes, canvas, metal panels, etc.).  Sessions using gift certificates can take place at my Royal Oak studio or outdoors on location.  Sale ends 4.9.10 but certificate can be used for six months, or through 10.09.10.

And, ladies.  Feel free to email this post to your husband.  Sometimes they need gift ideas or that gentle push [shove?] in the right direction.

In a nutshell…..this family rocks.  The upside is that their easy going personalities make my job easy.  The downside is that I found myself click, click, clicking throughout the entire session.  This session brought in more than 220 images - - don’t worry Heather, I’ll narrow them down so you’re not on photo overload, but its going to be tough!  Enjoy your sneak peek and Thank You for thinking of me again to capture your family moments.

Family of Three

March 21, 2010

It is little peanuts like this that make me want another little one.  Meet Joseph.  He’s three months and still has that fresh baby look.  He grins at the silly songs and faces mommy and daddy make.  His hair is that smooth, fine fuzz unique to babies.  Babies like Joseph have me loving my job.  Joseph is on my baby plan, which means I get to see how crazy big he gets every three months.  From spit bubbles and coos to crawling and exploring, I have the honor of photographing Joseph’s first year milestones.

Dawn: Joseph, One handsome little dude.

I photographed this little guy when he was one.  When he walked into the studio, I was shocked to see how much he’d GROWN!  Sometimes I feel like time stands still on my end while the rest of the world carries on behind my back.  Now he has a baby sister and this was her six month session.  Although she made us work for some smiles, she was a happy baby and absolutely content the entire session.  The “P” parents are wonderful and easy going parents - a pleasure to work with.  Thank you for choosing me to work with your family!

Sydney & Kelsey {cuties}

March 8, 2010

Firstly, I apologize for the lack of blog action lately.  Busy, busy.  I couldn’t help but take the time to post about these two beautiful sisters. 

Sydney and Kelsey walked into the studio and I knew that they would make ridiculously adorable photos.  What started with shyness turned into goofy smiles, funny faces, a tea party and dancing.  Mom called to schedule a session and wanted photos of the girls in their dance outfits.  I realize, now, that the sneak peek does not even contain any of the dance photos!  I really had a difficult time deciding what to include!!  Check these sisters out - they have THE.MOST.AMAZING.EYES!!!!  No photoshop enhancements made to their eyes - those sparkles and lengthy eyelashes are all natural.  Gorgeous!
