Facebook Casting Call

Hello Everyone!
Given that the first five months of the year haven’t been as productive as I’d hoped for my photography business, I was thinking that I should revamp my photo skills a little more to give my future clients a more satisfactory result in terms of image quality.  We all learn new things every day and part of growing IS learning.  I love to push and challenge myself to achieve my goals and my new goal is to have a wider and happy clientele.  My main goal is to give my clients quality, great service and affordable prices. People love variety and creativity and I don’t want to stay behind in either of those =0). So I’ve decided to expand my portfolio by doing a Facebook casting call.
I want to be able to WOW my customers with my work. I want to give them the gift of THEIR memories on the best quality work and products and I can only do that by striving to get better at it.  From May 2013-November 2013 I want to work on the following:
Maternity
Sessions are to be scheduled between 34-37 weeks of gestation.  You can choose studio, home or outdoor locations.  The session will last between 1-2 hours depending on poses and set ups.  If you desire a particular pose, please let me know ahead of time so we can plan it. Bellies of all types are welcome.  Please keep in mind that you will be posing as models; therefore, I would like for you to be open to ideas and suggestions.
Newborns
Single newborn sessions are to be scheduled during your last trimester and no later than 5 days after the baby is born.
Multiple Newborns (Twin and Triplet Sessions)
Babies of any combination are welcome!! Sessions will be scheduled once mom and babies are home, I understand how delicate twins and triplets are so no dates are locked in before birth. Please include your due date and the sex of the babies if known in your application. Sessions can take place in the clients home if space and light permit or in my Philadelphia Studio.
3-12 Month Milestone Sessions
Boys and girls babies, twins or triplets currently aged between three and twelve months. Please include a recent picture of your baby. 10 – 20 models needed.  The sessions will take place in my Philadelphia studio as well as on location.
1-5 year old Milestone Sessions 
Babies 1-5 years old have such unique personalities and character and I want to explore more of those unique expressions!  Sessions will take place in the studio as well as outdoor weather permitting. In your email please include a recent picture of your child(ren). 10-20 models needed for this age group.
Big sister/Big brother sessions
For this category, I’m looking for siblings old enough to walk on their own but younger than six years old.  It can be any combination of boys/girls, girls/girls/, boys/boys. Friends and immediate family welcome as long as they fit this age group. 
Look at me! I’m growing sessions (7-12 yrs.)
This particular group should be one of the most fun to shoot!! Children this age are already acquiring their “grown up” personality. They tend to be independent and I want to capture that. Friends and family welcome also.
What’s in it for you?
A FREE session valued between $150 and $300 depending on your session type.  You will also receive a $75 credit for images for milestone and maternity sessions. A $150 credit for a multiple newborn session. You will also be given a password protected web gallery. The images will be available for 3 months if you wish to purchase more prints or products.
Please note, this is only for Facebook fans. Make sure you spread the word, the more you share the more rewards for you!!! Not a fan yet? Click here

I had such a great time doing this shoot! Jenn and JP certainly look great together. JP loves golf so we figured it would be fun to do this shoot at a golf club and them playing out Jen beating him. It was so much fun!! Thanks you guys for allowing me to be part of your day =)

AlmeidasFloralDesigns (1) One of Center City’s finest and friendliest flower shops.

When it comes to your wedding day, there is so much that needs to be done. You have to find the perfect wedding dress, the bridesmaid dresses, flower girls dresses, etc. It seems like everything is just dresses!! There’s so much more that goes into having the perfect wedding. The catering, photographer, videographer,  wedding planner and so on, but the flowers are just one of the most essential assets of the big day.

Finding the perfect flowers are as important as finding the perfect florist shop!! You need someone with a vision that can help YOU see exactly what you had in your head. You need someone that will guide you through the process of choosing the right flowers. Well, Art from Almeidas Floral Designs is just that person!!

Opened in back in 2010, this cozy flower shop services any and every type of occasions. I asked Art what was his most popular arrangements and without a doubt is the cat flower bouquets. Those are the ones with an array of different types of flowers varying in textures and colors. “It makes it easier for the costumer to choose what kind of flowers they want,” he said.

Don’t be deceived by the elegant decor. This place is a as affordable as it is beautiful with prices starting as low as $30! Who says beautiful flowers have to cost a fortune? I went to see Art the other day and my first impression upon entering his shop was one of “I’m home” feel. When you go in, you immediately feel the friendly atmosphere surrounding the shop. Just passed the entry way is this beautiful display of vases and small details that really catch your attention.

The mixture of exotic flowers mingling with your everyday roses just makes this flower shop your backyard garden.
