limited edition summer sessions are BACK! woo hoo!

Because last summer’s Limited Edition sessions were so popular, we’ve decided to bring them back this summer - for July AND August - twice the fun!

Here’s the scoop:

You’ll receive a one-hour studio or urban session, a gorgeous ten-image photo album and an 11×14 wall print.  The session fee is $500 — a savings of $180!  There are a limited number of sessions available, so call or email us right away!

As always, please feel free to call or email with any questions.  You’re also welcome to schedule an in-studio consultation to discuss your portrait ideas and needs.

~~

Also, Christine Plamann Photography was recently nominated for Milwaukee’s Best Family Photographer by Nickelodeon’s Go City Kids web site. But to be crowned the best, we need your support! Vote for us at the Go City Kids web site! You can vote once per day through mid-July - so vote often!

i want to eat him up! | milwaukee baby photographer

i love love love when clients choose the year in the life collection!  it’s 3-4 sessions over the course of a year and i love how well i get to know the family and the children in that time.  after the last session, we all sit down and go over all of the images and work on designing an amazing coffee table book that chronicles the year.  it’s great to lay out the images and see how much the family has changed.

a lot of families choose this option as a baby’s first year photo plan, but lots of other families take the opportunity to do four different concept sessions.  one outside (at a park, in their backyard, an urban session in the third ward), a documentary-style session at home, a birthday party, a cookie decorating day, a pajama party, whatever.  i love seeing how creative everyone gets!

here is a sweet little bub that is so cute i want to eat him up.  this is his third session in the year in the life collection.  we photographed him when he was still cozied up in his mama’s belly, and again when he was a teeny tiny delicious newborn.  now look how big he’s getting!

my little loves | milwaukee photographer

woo! two posts in one day.  let’s see how long this streak lasts :)

almost every single client, at one time or another, comments about how i must take such great photos of my children.  i always laugh because my kids are the most uncooperative subjects ever (for me, anyway).  on any gift giving occasion, i tell my husband that all i want is to do a session of the girls and try for one of them together.  on mother’s day, after a wonderfully leisurely breakfast, we set out with the girls and the camera and for the first time ever, i feel like i succeeded in capturing my girls for who they are.  yay!

my ellie in all of her fake-laughing glory!

the aldrich family

yesterday afternoon, i was honored to be invited into the home of the aldrich family to capture bits and pieces of their life.  the love in their home was overwhelming - i felt it as soon as i walked in the door.  words fail me in situations such as these, so i invite you to visit jake’s caringbridge site to learn more about this family –

jake loves legos.  their home is filled with completed lego projects and we spent a lot of time working on another one…

long time, no blog | milwaukee newborn photographer

oh my goodness, it’s been awhile, hasn’t it?  i’ve been traveling a great deal these past few weeks.  first, five days in las vegas for a photographers convention and tradeshow.  my husband came along and we had a great time learning, checking out new product offerings and networking with other photographers from across the world.  i’m excited to take what we learned and incorporate it into an even better and more unique experience for our clients!

this past week, i travelled to the twin cities for some awesome sessions with my nephew, mike, who is an up and coming photographer.  many of you will meet him this summer while he works at the studio.   we snuck away for a bit to take some fun urban shots of mike and his awesome girlfriend, vicky.  (by the way, if any of you are interested in a summertime babysitter, let me know - vicky is looking for a part-time job while she’s in milwaukee with mike!).

happy valentine’s day!

i’m running out the door to catch a flight, but i wanted to post the winner of this year’s give away contest.  thank you all so much for participating ~ your entries made me laugh, smile and cry.   i’m brainstorming on a way to reward everyone who entered, so watch for an email from me with more details in the next few weeks.

meanwhile, i was incredibly surprised when i saw that FOUR different people nominated the same family.  as far as i know, and as far as the nominated family knows (i already called her to ask!), these four people don’t know each other and didn’t know anyone else would be nominating the family.

this year’s winner is the aldrich family.  i’m looking forward to photographing jake and his family.

thank you to those who entered and keep an eye out for an email from me detailing something special that i’m planning!

eight days new

i recently had the pleasure of traveling from milwaukee to indiana to photograph the sweetest, sleepiest newborn and his amazing new daddy.  due to his rather eventful entrance into the world and some unforeseen hiccups, we did this session in their hotel room where they’re camping out for the next couple of weeks.  i can now add ‘extended stay hotel room’ to my list of locations :)

i have had so many fun sessions lately and i promise to get better about posting the images!  before i sign off, let me post a few from a session i did at the beginning of the year.  sweet clara moved to seattle with her family and had to leave her two best friends behind.   to celebrate their friendship, they came in for a fun, fun, fun session so that each girl could have an album of the three of them.

super cute valentine’s day cards!

for those of you who ran out of time and didn’t sent out holiday cards, how about sending valentine’s day cards?  that’s what we’re going to do.  every year, i spend weeks designing the perfect holiday card but every year, i run out of time and don’t send them out.

these would also be super cute to hand out to the kids at school!
