Mystery Location Theater, Take 2 [Kansas City Child and Family Photographer]

****Thanks everyone who emailed/called and texted about the Mystery Session #2! The winner of this session is Kari Y., who proved that the early blogger bird definitely got the worm this week!

The next Mystery Session will be announced here on the Blog only on Tuesday July 7, 2009, between 8am and noon….so bookmark the blog and check back!******************************************************************


Mystery Location Theater, Take 2 ...

Location Description: riverfront with view of downtown, in Kansas City.

Time of Day: morning session, 930-1030 start time.

Best for: Any age, but would be fun to have ages that could be trusted to be NEAR the river and not dive in. This is not required though... Families are good, too. No age limit.

Clothing suggested: clothing with contrast (black, navy, denim), that will realy POP againsy the KC skyline and river. No white, too pasty for this location. I will provide cool chairs, etc.

Session will be open for one week or until someone books it (remember, its FREE!!).

Go.....

Mystery Location Sessions {Kansas City Child and Family Photographer}

I’ve been living here in the Northland for almost 8 years….been in the child photography business for 5 of those years. And yet there are still lots of places I haven’t used for any sessions…..or used maybe once many years ago. Why don’t I use them? I don’t know….some part of it is laziness; it’s easier to go where I know. Another part of it is dependability; its best to take your clients to places that you know will be comfortable and pleasant for their portrait experience.

But, I get these itches that I need to scratch…and I can’t afford my kids going rates for “modeling” for me..so, what’s a girl to do?

Oh yeah, give aways!

So, here’s the deal….each week or so, I will post a general description of the place I want to have a session….and the first person to respond (email is always faster to me, I have my “Crackberry” on all the time) with a “Why I want the session”, gets a complimentary session (a $500 value)! No prints are included, but a 10% discount on purchases, is.

The sessions will be held during the week, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday….usually morning, but some evenings (I will include the times in the description). It just depends on where the location is and what time of day I think would be best.

*if you have previously participated in my “model calls”, you are regrettably not eligible, as I would like to give others the chance to have a session.)

The sessions themselves will also be tagged with whether a baby/child/siblings or family can enter…some locations would be ideal for a family session, some would be better suited for 1-2 kids only. Just check out the descriptions carefully J

The first of the Mystery Sessions will be announced Tuesday, June 23, 2009 on the blog….so bookmark it and check…it will be up by 12pm.

Good luck!!

Another Gorgeous Newborn {Kansas City Newborn Photographer}

Last month (I know, I know, so far behind in everything!) one of my very first clients that I had when I opened my business 5 years ago gave birth to her second son...you should see her eyes light up when she talks about her boys...its like looking at the face of love itself. I aspire to be the gentle and patient woman she is with her sons (she claims that it is not always so, but I dont believe her).

Baby G, accompanied by Mommy and Big Brother K. held me awestruck by their bond for a couple of hours and after they left, I felt happy all day.....love does that to me...I'm a sap.

I know I am biased...{Kansas City Child Photographer, Susan Robichaud}

because these sisters are my friends daughters, and I love them, but how beautiful are they??

It is hard to photograph your friends kids, b/c they are used to seeing you in your driveway, in your jammies getting the paper, or chasing the runaway dog down the middle of the street. They dont really think of you any other way.

When I told them that I was a real professional photographer, published in a book, people fly in from around the world to have me photograph their families, they laughed at me.

Maybe I should have stayed in my jammies for their session? Think that would have helped?

Anyway, here are my beautiful neighbors...and the first of the Line Creek Portrait Fundraiser sessions (betcha wish you had purchased one now, dont ya?)...
