christine plamann photography – milwaukee photographer - » { lifestyle photography that's fresh, fun and full of life }

so yeah.  an entire month off results in a pretty boring blog.  i didn’t pick the best time of year to launch this thing, did i?

a session scheduled for february 3 just had to reschedule, so my very first regular session date of the year (besides my itty bitty squishy newborn shoots!) is now open!  since i’m itching to get my camera on some cutie pies, please email me for details if you’re interested in taking this slot.  session fee waived with a modest print purchase commitment.  this would make for perfect valentine’s day gifts!

also!  i launched a slightly modified version of my website tonight!  check it out. 

A big CONGRATULATIONS to Maggie Amin and her friend Michelle Butzine on winning two $300 gift certificates.  Here is Maggie’s winning entry:

every year, i take january off to recover from the holiday rush and to give myself time to experiment, play and photograph just for the fun of it.

the exception to this rule? newborns. i will always find room in my schedule for a newborn session. ittle june was a photographer’s dream — happy and sound asleep the whole time! how can i resist this? her doting sister was a hoot, too. all she wanted me to do was put the camera down and play puzzles with her.

almost-three.

why be photographed when you can play puzzles?

here we go, proof. this is a fairly typical shot of my two year old. not quite as cooperative as the little one!

the holiday contest deadline is fast approaching!!

i think that the #1 comment i receive upon discussing my occupation is “wow! you must have a ton of fabulous photos of your kids!”

not so, my friends. when my oldest was about one, she decided that she would have nothing at all to do with my camera. it came out, she ran away. thankfully, i have fabulous photographer friends who make sure my walls are covered with great pics of my girl.

the little one, though, she’ll still smile at anything that moves. i figure i have about nine more months of photographic opportunities.

Happy New Year, everybody!  I hope that everyone’s 2007 has gotten off to a great start.  Any good resolutions? 

To celebrate a new year full of health, happiness and fabulous photographs, I am offering a PRIZE to the first person to book and pay for a session (and mention this post).  The PRIZE is a Family Membership to the new Discovery World in downtown Milwaukee.  The aquarium wing is FANTASTIC for the little ones and the Science wing is every big kid’s dream.

So, book today!  Session must be held before May 30, 2007.  If you’re not ready for portraits by the end of May, then tell a friend and receive a $30 print credit for the referral!
