Little Ella is six months old and what a baby doll she is!  You couldn’t get any cuter!  We had such a fun time with her in the studio, she’s at the perfect age for a session!  Able to sit up nicely, but still not yet walking.  Babies at this age tend to sit happily and are very cooperative!  I enjoy capturing childhood…such a treasure!  Look at this beautiful little bumpkin!  She’s such a sweet girl!

My schedule is booking up fast!  My computers have been churning away editing images for two weeks straight non-st0p!  A lot of galleries are going up this week for clients!

If you want to book a fall session so you can have prints ready for holiday cards and gifts there are a few openings left at this time.  Once they are gone they are gone!  The fall is always our busiest time of the year!

Enjoy the day everyone!

Little Zoe came into the studio at one week of age for her very first photo session!   She was just as sweet as can be!   And she had an awesome photo shoot!   I always tell my clients the earlier you can get them in, the better! Under two weeks is best.    I know this is bigger than my usual peek, but this family has been waiting since before my vacation!  Just check out this beautiful girl!

Happy Summer!

July 12, 2010

Vacation week over!  Back to work!  Lots of phone calls to make, editing to complete, blog posts to present!  Can’t wait to get it all done!  During my week “off” we managed to lose the hard drive that contained emails.  SO, if you’re waiting to hear back from me via an email and you have not, you may want to give me a shout because I am probably in need of your email address!  You can email me at linda@lindahawkinsphotography.com or give me a call at 401-486-3656.  Wedding clients are all set, I have all your info.  I’m looking for a couple of recent clients who I have orders in for and ready to deliver or galleries up and I’m missing the contact info on a couple of Littlest Hero clients!  One was a recent shoot, two others we were working on scheduling!  Also, if you were a recent inquiry via email and you did not receive a response, I am sorry, it’s likely your email was lost as well.   So please contact me!

I’m booking fall out now so if you were hoping for a beautiful fall session with the  colorful leaves and you’re thinking about Holiday gifts and Holiday cards during this fabulous hot summer, give me a call or drop me an email ASAP so we can get you scheduled!  It’s booking up fast now and you don’t want to miss out!  I will be extending my $100 “Smithfield” session special through the end of September, so it’s a great time to get those photos done!   For anyone who books a session with me and has it in any location in Smithfield the session fee is only $100 for a regular session!  This can be used for families up to four!   Does not apply to newborn sessions, sorry!  I will also continue with my $100 Pixie sessions!  These are sessions for babies who are no longer newborns, through toddler-hood who will not sit for a full 2 hour session.  This is a one hour session and the child should be between the ages of 4 months and 3 years of age.  First birthday cake smashes are not included.  This is a one hour session either at the studio or 20 minutes from zip 02828.

Also, don’t forget those Bellies and Babies packages!  Starting at $350 and includes BOTH maternity and newborn session at the studio and a beautiful brag book containing 20 of your favorite shots from both sessions!  This has been a very popular package this year!  It makes a fabulous shower gift too!   Brag books are my most popular seller!  They are really stunning to see in person!

I do have gift certificates available!  I’ve had many people buy gift certificates as birthday and baby and bridal shower gifts this year!   The gift of beautiful portraits is something cherished for a lifetime!

Once again, I want to remind everyone that fall is the busiest time of the year and the schedule books up really fast!  If you have your heart set on a session with me, please contact me ASAP.  I feel awful turning people away once the sessions are full  but it happens every year!  Don’t wait till the last minute!  In a couple of weeks I’ll be putting out the cut-off schedule for getting your products in time for the holidays.  We cannot guarantee that any sessions done after Thanksgiving will be in in time for the holidays!  All images are individually hand edited by me and this takes 2-3 weeks minimum after your session!  Then time to make choices, time for labs to print and return items all needs to be factored in!

Back to work!  Watch the blog this week for lots of previews!

Have a beautiful day everyone!

I just LOVE Sydney!  She’s a cute as a button!  She came to me through the Littlest Heroes Project which is know known as Inspiration through Art.  She did not stop smiling the entire time she was in front of my camera.  I just wanted to squeeze her she’s so cute!  Her Mom, Mattie, is a good friend of mine and I was honored when she asked if I’d shoot her Littlest Hereos session!  Mattie is a photographer too and she has loads of beautiful photos of her little Sydney so they wanted some sweet family images.  Again this session was shot in an overgrown field on a summer evening.  Something that seems so plain and boring is magical once again!  Check out Sydney and her family in some of my favorites from their session!

I had the honor of photographing this beautiful Little Hero, Elizabeth!  She is the sweetest little girl ever!  At 2.5 years of age she was a joy to photograph!  I really enjoyed my day with your family and I hope that you enjoy your peek!  I had a really hard time narrowing it down, Elizabeth is beautiful!

So excited that summer has finally arrived!  With it comes fantastic evening sessions shooting in rustic fields (my favorite) creating breathtaking photographs!  My favorite place to shoot is a field of wildflowers or even a simple hay field and you cannot get better than fabulous evening light!  I’m bogged down with loads of editing at the moment but I wanted to share just a couple of shots with you for now!

Coming up this week I’ll preview a beautiful two year old girl and the sweetest six month old baby girl…can’t wait to share!  Hope everyone has a safe and memorable holiday weekend with your loved ones…enjoy all the moments and make fabulous memories!
