What’s happening in the land of lifeXpressions?

Newborn & Baby Model Search | Naples Baby Photographer

I simply adore my profession and being able to preserve precious memories for my clients. I often arrive at a client’s home for their session with several concepts in my head and ideas I would like to try. However, when commissioned for a session my first goal is to capture the images my client has his or her heart set on. This means I don’t always get the opportunity to bring the ideas rolling around in my head to life. To accomplish those personal goals and try some new techniques lifeXpressions photography is looking for a few fresh faces! Specifically we are looking for Newborns under two weeks of age and babies 6 months – 14 months old.

Newborns under two weeks of age with one or both parents. Mom and/or Dad should be comfortable in their own skin as some of the images will involve skin on skin intimate portraits with your newborn. Newborn must be younger than two weeks of age at the time of the session. Expecting Moms who are interested and due within the next 6 weeks are encouraged to call. Twins are welcome!

Babies age 6 – 14 months old with outgoing personalities who love meeting new people and exploring their surroundings. Being able to sit unassisted is helpful but not required.

For participating on this model search and helping me bring to life a few of the creative ideas flowing through my head you will receive a complimentary child session, an online gallery for sharing the images captured with family and friends and 20% off print prices. This session will be geared toward bringing a certain pose or artistic concept to life, additional poses, looks and ideas may be captured as time permits but are not guaranteed. A signed model release will be required as some of your images may be used for future marketing purposes. To inquire please email us at info@lifexpressions.net Please include your due date/child’s age and a recent snapshot of the child if available.

Warm Your Heart Mini Sessions

warm-your-heartBaby it’s cold outside! What better way to warm your heart than with some fresh photographs of that special little someone in your life? The Warm Your Heart mini session offers the perfect opportunity to capture a few great shots- whether you would simply like to document a new milestone or create a few updated portraits between full sessions. Now is the perfect time to break out those super cute hats and colorful scarves, how often do we get to wear them in Florida anyway?

They’re Baaaaack! | Limited Edition Mother & Child Portrait Sessions

It was about this time last year I announced the limited edition Mother & Child sessions with lifeXpressions, the response was overwhelming. I have to tell you, these sessions brought me (and the participants) so much joy that I just knew I’d have to do it again. To give you just a little sampling of how much fun we had take a peek into some of last year’s Mother and Child sessions: Deena with her beautiful children; Lauren, Alec & Kaia, Connie and the ever charming Alex, Louise and her spirited little man Liam and of course I could never forget Megan & sweet baby John.

Is it any wonder that over the last few weeks I’ve received several emails from clients who are just as eager as I am for another opportunity to capture those special mother and child memories? Call us at (800) 487-0064 to schedule your Mother & Child session but please hurry, as the title implies – these mother and child session dates are limited!

Flashback Friday

Here’s the scoop: Each Friday I’ll randomly select one photo from two different sessions from the lifeXpressions archives to share here on the blog. The featured family will be eligible to win a free 8×10 of the image showcased on the blog AND a $50 gift certificate towards a future session which they may use for themselves or pass on to a friend.

So what’s the catch? The flashback image could be as recent as this past January or as far back as 2004, names of the clients will not be given so you’ll just have to make sure you’re checking the blog every Friday to see if your session is featured. If it is, you have just one week to claim the prize so you better act quickly! I’ll start off easy and just dig into the 2008 session archives. Are you ready?!? Here we gooooo….Flashback Friday

If one of these totally cute tots belongs to you, contact us at info@lifexpressions.net to claim your prize by midnight eastern time on Thursday December 10th.

You might even be one of those brave souls who plan to venture out and see what amazing deals are waiting for you on Black Friday.

New Contact Number | { Call Us Toll-Free }

With lifeXpressions being located smack dab in the middle of a tropical paradise like Naples Florida you probably aren’t surprised to hear that we work with a LOT of vacationing families. Most live right here in the good o’ USA but many also travel to see me each year from Canada, England and Germany. In an effort to make it a little easier for them to reach us we’ve added a dedicated 800 number for the business and will slowly begin transitioning away from the local number currently shown throughout the website and on our marketing materials. If you’ve already got us in your handy-dandy address book you’ll want to take just a moment to update your records as well.

Our new toll-free number is: 1-800-487-0064

And since no post is complete without a photo, and partly because I’m terribly behind on sneak peeks due to the holiday portrait season wrapping up here in the land of lifeXpressions, I’d like to share this one from a recent sunset session with a most adorable young couple. We had already said our goodbyes but when I turned back and saw them cuddled up to watch their first Florida sunset together I couldn’t resist snapping just one more. Yeah, sometimes I’m a little sneaky like that. ;) Hang in there Jamie and Phil, I’ll have those proofs ready for you two REAL soon!lifexpressions photography

And since I’m on a roll right now <grin> I’ll share a few here from Max & Mimi’s recent family session at Wiggins Pass…so sweet! If you’re a fan of lifeXpressions on Facebook these last couple won’t be new to you but they’re cute enough to be worth a second look. If you’re not a fan of lifeXpressions on Facebook I have just two words for you: WHY NOT??! :) lifexpressions photography family portrait session, fort myers florida, on location photographer, naples beach photographer, naples newborn photography, sibling portraits, sanibel beach portraits
