My Survey Contest!

Hello everybody! I hope you all are having a GREAT weekend! 

So, I have a favor to ask. I created a survey to help me better understand my clients needs and wants. Please take the time to fill out the survey I linked below. It is 10 questions. 


If I get at least 10 people to fill out this survey, I will randomly pick one person to receive a free portrait photo shoot, in which you will receive at least 15 edited images. 

*Disclaimer* I will not be traveling out of the state.  For this shoot I will expect you to come to Smidge Marie Photography or somewhere in the area of Smidge Marie Photography.  Thank you for your understanding!


Thank you for your time, consideration and feedback!

Austin & Colin

Austin & Colin are two great kids from the Allentown area.  I struggled to get pictures of Colin smiling during the photo shoot.  I don't think you can really tell from the pictures though.  Austin is the older boy so obviously Colin in the younger one.  Austin was awesome to photograph, though I could tell by the end of our session, he was ready to play.  Both are adorable kids! 



This is Austin.  This was when we were trying to convince Colin to join him...not very successful...yet...




Yay! We got Colin into the photograph....we certainly didn't bribe him with candy or anything, if that's what you are thinking.... 


Almost a smile!




There we go!





This is certainly not a picture showing everybody how we bribed Austin to get his picture taken...  I think Amy went through two packs of candy and I don't even know how many popsicles! 


I was just dying to try this perspective out, I think it turned out pretty cool!




Look at those two, they are just precious! 


See the candy bribes worked really well.


I let the boys have some playtime so I could photograph them without them feeling like they are being photographed.  They had fun and relaxed, if you can't tell from the picture below.



After, they had play time, Colin had a lot more smiles for the camera.


*HUGS*


I asked Austin to show me the tree he likes to play in.


At this point they were both ready to be done with me!



I fell in love with this picture of the boys eating their pops on the porch.

I hope you enjoyed my pictures.  If you get a chance, check out my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgeMariePhotography

Bailey's 1st & Mark's 30th birthday party

On June 1st, I photographed Bailey's FIRST birthday party.  She is a little cutie that I photographed back in December.  I was excited to shoot the party because it was a Minne Mouse theme.  And of course, because Bailey is so photogenic.


And here is the birthday girl, Bailey with her mom, Rebecca




Presents!



Grammy & Bailey


The boys got too hot outside and decided to watch some cartoon in the AC.

Bailey in her birthday tent.

Oh, hi there!


These cookies were absolutely delicious! 


Rebecca & Mark

The two cakes for Bailey & Mark.  I'm such I don't need to tell you which is cake belongs to who.

These cupcakes well such a cute idea.




OM NOM NOM!







The handbands all of the girls wore at the party.  Some didn't stay on for very long at all!



Bailey was COVERED in cake after eating it.  

I got a bunch of nice pictures from this birthday party, but it was WAY too hot! I felt like I was melting!

Austin & Ady

Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to photograph two adorable kids.  I went to their house in the Allentown area.  Adrienne or Ady is a four year old who has auto immune disease.   She is wearing her bracelet in the photographs that she received from her first treatment.  Since she was treated for auto immune disease   her immune system is weaker, so I went to their house to take pictures.

And let me tell you it was a blast!  Plus I think Ady and Austin were more comfortable at their own house.


Here they are at the very beginning of the session, all smiles!


Pretty little Ady!


Austin, I think he was getting sick of the photos already!


I let them play a little and took some pictures.  They enjoyed chasing each other.  It was really cute, you can tell that Austin is going to be very protective of his little sister.  




*Kisses*


Oh, they loved it when I told them to jump for me.




They are so adorable together. And Ady was so excited to get her picture taken.  She was dragging me around by the end of the shoot!


I love the colors in this photos!  Also, you can see the bracelet on Ady's wrist from her treatments.  I wish I would have taken a close up of the braclet.



Poor Austin is practically being choked by Ady.  I didn't even ask her to pose like this, she just did it!


They loved this horse that lives right by their house.





Austin wasn't very excited about this kiss.

I hope you enjoyed my pictures.  If you get a chance, check out my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgeMariePhotography
