The Website

http://www.auntspray.com/ We are artists! And what better way to communicate about the fabulous world of design and photography today than a blog? We will attempt to keep a casual dialogue about our current design/photography projects and anything we come across that is new, shiny and just plain awesome. Our company name is taken from the book La Cart: The Secret Lives of Grocery Shoppers (by Hillary Carlip, Barbara Green), where it is mentioned that a person actually wrote and misspelled this on their grocery list. Anyone stumbling in via RSS feeds etc...Welcome!

Calling All Grandparents!

Grandparents play such an important role in a child's life. They are role models, mentors, friends and they always have gum and junk food. So why not capture some of these specials moments of your children with Grandma and/or Grandpa? We can schedule a nice date in the park, take some pictures, and give everyone in the family a collection of treasures. Schedule your grandparents' session before March 15, 2010 and receive 50% off of your session fee!

Here are a few shots of my daughter and her "Grandpa Gary". Enjoy!

Baby Joseph

Today I went to visit a good friend in Livonia, MI, to take pictures of her handsome little man, Joseph. He is now six months old and could not be any cuter if he tried. He is already starting to crawl! He was such a great sport and was so cooperative. Thanks so much, Joseph! And thanks mom and dad for the Jimmy Johns...mmmmm..... :)

Enjoy your sneak peek. There are many more images coming your way in the next couple of days. Remember, Mallory has dibs on him so no girls for the next 25 years.

Introducing Portrait Parties!!!

Great news! Aunt Spray is now booking Portrait Parties! As a host, you will invite 6-8 of your friends and their families (or kids, significant, others, etc) to a local park and book them mini-portrait sessions. There are no sitting fees for these sessions and you earn 15% of all print sales to order your own prints. In other words, you can get your session and prints completely free!!

These parties will typically last three hours and each guest will get a 20 minute time slot for portraits. All guests will receive a slide show of roughly 10 edited images to choose from! There is no obligation to buy anything and the sessions are totally free. You can choose a theme for your party (such as dress up, fairies, first communion, graduation, dance, etc.) or keep it simple. It's totally up to you.

I am now booking parties for May 1, 2010 through October 30, 2010. For more information on hosting a party, email us at photography@auntspray.com. We are working on a website update to include this service and it should launch within the next two weeks.

I am only booking a limited number of parties so email us soon to book your date!

Lauren and Jessica

Yesterday I had the privilege of taking some portraits for two adorable little girls, Lauren and Jessica. These two blondies are extremely photogenic!!! We shot these in their living room between play times, feedings, bathroom breaks, etc. This really is the way to get pictures done. In your own home, around your schedule.

Don't forget to stop by www.auntspray.com for information on how to book your custom session!!

Enjoy this sampling of our images!

SnoMG

Well, we are getting pounded by a winter storm here in Northwest Ohio. Roughly ten inches so far and we're maybe halfway through. Needless to say, we were stuck in the house. I took this opportunity to grab some shots and work on some photoshop actions. This first set is of the kiddos while they were playing:






This next set is Bill playing the guitar:







I'm hoping I'll be able to get outside tomorrow and shoot some winter landscapes! Be sure to come back and check. Have a good evening and stay warm :)
