Sneak Peek of "M" brother and sister!

Posted by Carol Graham Photography | 2 comments

WOW....ok, WOW again. I knew these kids were super cute, but once I got into the editing, I could not stop-absolutely beautiful! Mom had said that her son was a bit shy, and that her daughter was into this funky biting her lip smile but once they warmed up, we got past the bunny teeth and downward looks! I do not think I have taken a better picture of a brother/sister! Loved the jersey-go Hawk!s And the cute Marilyn Monroe dress! Thank you for letting me capture these moments and I so apologize for this HUGE peek! There were just too many.

Sneak Peek of Baby "H"!

Posted by Carol Graham Photography Labels: Babies | 0 comments

Oh my, if boys could technically be called beautiful... I tried to think of another word to describe him...hmmm. No, he is just beautiful! I have photographed baby "H" since he was 9 days old, and so love seeing how he has changed with each new session! Mom and Dad-you sure make them cute! Thank you for being so wonderful today.

EXTENDED NEWBORN SESSION

1 day-4 weeks old.

Extended newborn sessions run up to 2 1/2-3 hours, versus my standard sessions which average 60-90 minutes. During the extended session, we will capture awake, sleeping, nursing or feeding shots, as well as Mother baby, and or Mom, Dad and baby images. Extended time allows for 3 changes of clothing, a variety of newborn poses and shooting in bowl or basket. I provide a variety of super cute knit buntings, hats, headbands and tutus. I have found that to capture a newborn awake and asleep, it is best to allow extra time. This stage is very fleeting, so capturing all we can in one sitting is important. It is also important to take newborn pictures as early as possible. I recommend scheduling these between 1-6 days of the birth.

PRICING

$200.00 Extended Newborn Session Fee. For print pricing and other photo products, please view the Pricing section of our Blog. Thank you!

BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS

I offer many different birth announcements, and also welcome custom orders. Discussing your preferences prior to the photo session allows me to capture exactly what type of images you would like to have on a card. Photography clients receive 15% off their birth announcement order. Card designs can be viewed at http://www.frommyheartcards.com/

About Me

Photography is my passion. I like to think of the outdoors as my canvas, and view images as art. I live in Naperville with my husband, 2 sons and daughter, and get a lot of inspiration from our daily lives...as well as a lot of experience! I believe that capturing natural images has a lot to do with the communication and connection I have with each client. Before booking a session, we will spend 10-15 minutes on the phone going over locations, clothing and some scenarios that ensure our session will be successful for everyone. I strive to capture candid real moments. Editing your images is a key part of creating my final product, and is included in my session fee. I use a variety of art finishes and professional editing programs to complete the look of the images in your gallery.

I have a photo journalistic approach to my sessions, and do not like to "pose" anyone. Once I start to communicate with the kids, our session will roll. If a child takes time to warm up, I prefer that parents not worry about how long this takes, and rather that they encourage their children to be themselves. When children are relaxed, I capture the best candid memories. My Sessions typically run between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on how the kiddos do and the number of people in the session.

I prefer natural light photography, on location or outdoors. I do offer in studio sessions during the winter months and at all times for newborns and maternity. One year old cake smash sessions are taken at my in home studio, or can be taken outdoors depending on the season and weather.
