I had an incredible time with these little boys. They had to be some of THE sweetest, most well behaved little men I’ve ever met, plus they were all way too handsome. I had a great time getting to know B, H and M. Maybe part of why I had so much fun was because my boys are similar ages? I just love how little boys are so full of energy, always wanting to wrestle, jump or climb, yet they can be soooo sweet. Especially to their mommas. These guys gave me an awesome gift as I was getting ready to leave…cucumber and zucchini that they grew in their VERY own garden! YUM! Told you they were great boys!

I can’t believe summer is nearly over-for my boys that is-they start school next week! Good grief, I could have sworn they JUST got out last week. It’s amazing how time really does fly by.

Now is the perfect time to plan your fall or Christmas portrait session. We will be accepting appointments through November this year and will be closed in December and the first week of January. Sessions do fill quickly this time of year so I encourage you to reserve your date soon.

We will be conducting our limited Itty Bitty sessions again this fall. These sessions are much shorter then a full session and will result in 5-10 images for you to select from. Sessions will last 30 minutes and are available only on certain dates and locations in central Indiana-to be announced soon. The Itty Bitty sessions fill very quickly, so watch for the announcement on the blog and website.

I love photographing babies that are about 6 months old. It’s really the perfect age to have portraits done-they usually aren’t old enough to make a fast escape, but they’re able to sit up. And they still have that adorable baby chubbiness. Once they start walking…they loose those precious rolls quickly. I had the best time with little Miss K and her mom and dad. She has the cutest expressions and was such a happy little lady. I hope you enjoy the little sneak peek and I can’t wait for you to see the rest.

*Keep the entries coming…we still have space for some more!

Check out these adorable little piggie-tails. How cute!

“Little Marlee loves to have fun in the summer jumping on trampoline.”

Thank you for the adorable entry!

I’m a bit slow at posting these…so I may have a bit of a backlog. Claudia sent in a photo of her adorable little girl dressed in a tutu…I love it!

…here is a picture of my daughter Hope, she will be 5 end of this month. Last Saturday I took her to the local Park where she loves to run and pretent to be a Fairy. She loves to dress up in her Tutu-dress and just run though the grass……I thought I would enter this in your Contest.

Claudia, your little girl is beautiful!

Keep the entries coming…I’ll try to post one a day until I get caught up, lol.

Ok…so it’s been brought to my attention that I haven’t had a contest in a while. So, here we go! We’ve been hit with some pretty rough weather here in Indiana, but this week we’re finally getting some sweet summer sunshine. Which has prompted my kiddos to head outside…they’ve been spending pretty much all of their time outside enjoying the incredible weather. And of course I’ve been joining them after work-who can resist this beautiful weather!

So…the theme of this contest is going to be your little ones enjoying the outdoors. Send me a snapshot of your child having a blast outside and tell me what their favorite thing about summer is (in their words if they are old enough). And if you are older (high school seniors, expecting moms and engaged couples…here’s your chance) send me a photo of you on your favorite vacation and tell me why it was so awesome. It’s as simple as that! Send your entries to lprofancik@yahoo.com

I’ll post the entries as I receive them and then I’ll open the polls. Feel free to invite your friends and families to vote for your entry. Please note that voting will be done by email and we will be confirming the email addresses as valid.

The Grand Prize winner will receive a complimentary session and an 800.00 gift card for your session. Three complimentary sessions and 150.00 gift cards will be given to the runner ups. Sessions must be completed in 2008.

Void where prohibited, rules subject to change without notice.

I had a lot of fun with you guys-thanks for letting me try out all my ideas! It’s hard to believe your little guy’s arrival is just around the corner…there is nothing as sweet as becoming new parents. It’s a whole new kind of love.

I want to invite my readers to come visit the studio from 5-9pm on the second Friday of each month. Take a tour of the studio, enjoy refreshments, and don’t forget about our studio specials available only during the Second Friday events! Also, this month you’ll have a chance to see and purchase Matilda Jane Clothing-one of my favorite brands for children. So stop on by, we’d love to see you!

I had so much fun with this little lady! Little Miss P. came in for her 1 year photos and was the perfect little model with the sweetest smile and such a cute little laugh. What a doll baby!

 I love this  one! From what I hear Miss P. gets this look from her daddy.

We were a little worried about what she would think of the texture of the grass (she hadn’t sat on it yet this year), but as you can see she loved it!

Matilda Jane Clothing, that is. Our next Second Friday event will be this Friday and you won’t want to miss this one! Not only will we have specials available only for Second Friday guests, but we’ll also be hosting a Matilda Jane Clothing Trunk show! If you’ve watched the blog long enough, you know I’m a huge fan of this wonderful brand for little girls.  They’ve got it all-homegrown here in Indiana, the clothes are adorable, unique and funky all at once, plus these are outfits you won’t see on every kid at the mall. So, be sure to come by and check out the styles!
