I could not believe how much Reid has grown since the last time I saw him. Well, the last time I saw him, he looked like this at his Naming Ceremony …
And now in a few short months he’s grown into this amazing baby boy …
We had lots of fun with big sister Kira …
There was laughter …
And tears …
But all in all …
It was a great day!
I just finished working on this little cutie’s portraits and I couldn’t resist posting my favorites right away. I took Sofia’s portrait while in the LA area for a very special engagement session. But more on that later! In the meantime, here’s Sofia’s portraits!
I’m off to Vegas for the annual WPPI convention to check out the latest trends, albums and products for 2010! I hope to come back next week with lots of great new ideas for this years wedding season. Our studio will re-open on Friday, March 12. If you need to reach me during this time, please call me at 408-497-5050. I will be periodically checking emails, but response time will be delayed.
Computers … they’re meant to make our lives easier … or are they? Sometimes, things can go really really wrong. Unfortunately, I discovered today that the contact form on my website has been down for what I’m guessing has been about 3 weeks! We’re working hard to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
I’m painfully aware that perhaps a few of you out there may have sent me an e-mail via my contact form, and you never got a reply. I promise, I wasn’t ignoring any one! If this happened to you, I truly apologize, and hope you’ll re-send your e-mail directly to: info@claudiaakersphotography.com
When Andrew of Studio MSV & I spoke about doing a promo video for me, I was a little hesitant, to say the least. I really don’t like being in front of the camera (ironic, isn’t it?), and I really can’t stand the sound of my voice. Two major roadblocks in creating a promo video! Finally I posed Andrew the challenge: only if I don’t appear anywhere in the video. As crazy as this sounded, we set out with a plan. It would be a testimonial video, featuring clients of mine. Three of my fabulous couples agreed to be interviewed and under Andrew’s guidance we set out to film. Well, one thing led to another and before I knew it, we decided to film a photo shoot, as well. I was absolutely terrified of being on camera! But Andrew was great! He really set me at ease, and before I knew it, I had completely forgotten about the camera.
In the end, we ended up with two videos. The original testimonial video is posted on my About page. Here’s the fabulous short version he put together:
