Frontier Senior... finally! / Bakersfield, CA Senior (Gen Y) Photographer

We have this wall that we painted TItan blue... seems like we've done everyone, BUT a Titan on the wall... until Brianna!  We were relieved to finally have a Titan on our Titan blue wall!  We had a great time shooting with her.  Fun, a little silly side to go with all that deep thinking seriousness and super cute.  

The Titan blue wall finally owned by a Titan!

The soft etherial side of a Senior... I know rarely seen and coveted by all Moms!

Yes, those blue eyes are all her- no color tweaking!  Bri- you would be happy to hear a young lady was looking at this and said "I want to look like that".  Yep, you have groupies girl.

LOVE the shoes... and the attitude!

Yes, there is that smiley teenager!

We know, she is gorgeous!

Bri was the last person to rock the pool this year.  And Rock it she did!        

The holidays are crashing in on us! / Bakersfield, CA Holiday Photographer

Yes, it is THAT time!  We are full force holidays!  I love the holidays... and about this time also want them to be further away than they are.  It is a little catch 22.  We are going to try and post on our fan page each day the pick up times.  I'm working on doing something on here, the website, the fan page, somewhere who has orders ready for those pick up times.  There just aren't enough hours in the day (or at least respectable hours!) to call everyone and let them know they have fabulous orders ready!  Let me see what I can do and I'll get back to you all on that idea.  

For now... a little holiday treat... this is Dylan and Chase- super fun and crazy kids that participated in our White Christmas Special.  

Holiday Specials! Sneak Peek at two of them / Bakersfield Holiday Photographer

We are so excited about the holidays this year!  We have some super duper cool sets we are working on!  We are going to give you a little sneak peek at the first two specials coming up!  

Special Packages!  We asked and you spoke up!  We love our clients that tell us what they want this year!  So this year we have a couple packages available that will include the session fee and a few different options all at one low price.  Yes, this is the bargain for the season, but we will have limited sessions available.  Packages will be released on Monday when we accept bookings.  I'll be sure to post them on here. 

This is the Come All Ye Faithful Set shot this morning with the fabulous Miss Leila and Kaiya to model for me.  They are wearing studio gowns which can be available for your session as well.  This one is perfect for cards, Grandmother's gifts and those embracing the reason for the season!  My mom actually inspired this set.  Bring your family bible or use some of our antique bibles to finish off the look.

Fall Families-  We love updating the families and this year is no exception.  So no matter what the style- refined, casual, relaxed or quirky we have you covered.  We are encouraging our families to send us a snap shot of the outfits you will be wearing and we will select the best set for you.  We have been so busy adding sets I think we have something for everyone!   You can make it "holiday" or keep it neutral like these families so it works on your wall year round and we will add the "holiday" to the cards- the best of both worlds!

Sets featured:  The dock, The stairs and our antique vintage doors.

Babies:  Wear Dad or Mom's favorite team jersey or colors.  Bring something to show that pride!

Kids:  Great for wearing their uniforms, don't forget the ball or equipment.

Teens:  Let's get serious- uniform, gear, and attitude.  You don't have to be "cute" scream it out like our soccer player and don't forget- athletes aren't always pristine so feel free to come grubby after practice and show the real player!

 

Swimmers:  I know you aren't used to dry land, but still bring that gear.  We can play and weather permitting we can drop into the pool for something.

**Want something out on the field or court- no problem give us a call and we can discuss the perfect session for you.  Lots of our Gen Yers love some action shots**
 

Mini Session Bargain Alert! Only $30 / Bakersfield, CA Photographer

 We are gearing up for our MS walk in October and team inky-dinky-do has decided to kick it off by doing something crazy!

One September 16th we will be doing mini sessions not for a session fee, but for a $30 donation to the MS Society!  I know major bargain and it goes to charity!

This is perfect for kids, teens, adults, that headshot that you need for your facebook or dating site!  We designed a special background for our Team inky-dinky-do and we will be using that for all the images.  It is fun, sassy and yet can feel contemporary and sophisticated.  Pretty snazzy huh?  

Sessions take only 20 minutes so come dressed and ready to impress!  Call to book your session.  661-588-1984

September 16th

$30 donation for a mini session!

Question:  what should I wear with that?  easy- white shirts will look fabulous, you could go for some bold bright colors if you like.  I can see white shirt, fabulous jewelry for the ladies, cool T-shirt for teen guys, a polo in white or a fun color for little boys and of course little girls can wear almost anything!  Denim, white, creams, bold bright orange or green could be fun!

Question:  Can I do 4 kids together?  Not really for this one guys!  One person, might be able to put two together, but think of  this one as a solo session!

Question:  Can I do a newborn?  Nope sorry guys we need kids either sitting up or Mom or Dad will have to be holding them in the picture. :)  It is a timing thing, we need lots of time for those newborns and this isn't really set up for  that.

Question:  How do I book?  Easy Peasy- just give us a call 661-588-1984.  If you get the machine you can leave your name and number the day and time that you prefer and we will call you back to schedule.
