Free photographs this August-September!!!

For all print orders placed by all Ticklebugs Photography facebook fans in August-September, one free 8x10 or 8x12 (or, if you're more akin to the smaller guys, a 5x7 or 8 wallets is fine with me).

Here's the deal:

-Be a facebook fan

-Place a minimum print purchase order of $50 in August or September

-Get a free photograph.

Easy, huh?

That's my easy-breezey summer photography in milwaukee-wauwatosa-brookfield-etc summer special.

Because it's summer.

Summer is fun.

And so are free things.

Like, photographs.

Oh, and your photographs may be from past sessions or current sessions (no archiving fee!). And yes, if we shoot at the very end of September and you want to make sure you grab this deal, you get to be included, too. Just note that due to a busy October shooting schedule, your order might not be placed until November. But I'll still honor the deal.

Wanna see a cute baby?

I know I've been terrible at updating this blog.

I apologize.

(I won't pretend to catch up. We all know that one. I'll just apologize. I do try to toss a thing or two onto facebook every once in a while...gold star for trying? :) Now, let me distract you with this cute baby...)

So, there ya go.

Cute Baby.

10 days-old.

Taken today.

Sneak Peak for the family. More to come (maybe not here, sorry, I'm trying to be realistic). Big brother was adorable, and the family was lots of fun, too! So, more to come (again, maybe here, maybe not).

Okay, I really do want to promise to try to do better here.

Try.

K?

K.

Believe in me.

It helps =)

Maternity Photography

I'm taking a light shooting schedule this January and February to:

A) Catch up on web site development (and blog updates!)

B) Build my indoor studio & learn interior lighting

C) Fall totally in love with interior lighting strategies (and taking them outdoors!)

D) Create sets and story telling techniques for Maternity and Newborn photography.

*E) All of the above!!!

In tune, I'm making a word web/ mind map for maternity photography set design. What, in all seriousness, are words that you want to describe you (in an ideal way) when you are pregnant? In other words, what adjectives would you want your maternity portrait to breathe?

I like a photograph that speaks, or is able to tell a good story. Sometimes the photograph simply speaks an emotion, and a good maternity portrait in my opinion, should do just that. So, pipe up, will ya? =) I'd love some input!

(Just an FYI, I am already 25% booked for March, so contact me if you want to get on the March schedule. I can take 1, maybe 2 more new-new-newborns in March.)

Now Booking: Newborns January-February-March!!!

Please book ahead so I can guarantee you a slot in the first 8 days. I understand the tentative nature of due dates, so I book by the month. I won't overbook each month, so as to make room for the babies booked.

Check the sidebar for combo maternity-newborn session pricing, and contact me for details.

Now go snuggle up and enjoy how cute you look!!!

(Gift certificates are available.)

Newborn: 7 days-old

When looking to book your newborn session, call ahead of the birth and let me know about when you are due (or, book a maternity&newborn package). We try to take the photos within 8 days of birth to get that "newborn skin." I will squeeze you in as possible if you give me enough notice (call me from the hospital/ birthing center!).
