Don’t blink – it goes so fast! Look at the fun our sister studio captured at The Loft York last weekend! <3
Anyone looking for a cool, chique, sophisticated, and accessible venue for capturing some fun to film? Let us know you'd like to schedule a birthday party with us!
Caught between the dimples of childhood and polished teenage personalities, tweens are often seeking to define their identities, their passions, and their place in the world. In January and February we will be holding sessions specifically designed for tweens to capture the internal fire they are sparking and the wonder we see in them.
Transitions can be awkward, but they can also be beautiful – gifting one of these sessions can remind a tween that they're a butterfly, just waiting to take to the sky.
Options are available! Want to incorporate interests? We can do that. Want it to be simple and low key? We can do that. Want a full glam squad on hand for help with makeup and hair? We can do that, too.
Start now by reaching out to us with our contact form – we can help you gift-wrap the very best Christmas present (and memories that last forever).
The first birthday Cakesmash is often a captured milestone and then suddenly you find yourself with a third grader that you only have some obligatory school pics of. It's such a wonderous time of child hood that your children don't often recall. What do they like to eat, their favorite movie or shows, what's that treasured toy that has to seemingly tag along everywhere?
Lets talk about the TWEENS , this is the most rapid growth and marked changes you will see since their baby stage! And yet often parents get so busy carpooling to sports, working on those Art projects etc.. all the busy stuff that comes with this age! Aside from an occasional family portrait do you have anything captured that really freezes this time in their life?
They are starting to explore makeup and may even be pushing limits of fashion. Often they found a passion for a certain sport, talent or hobby.
In a world that is so fast paced and the internet and social media being so Infuential. It often leads to the innocence of these years to fly by and fizzle.
Insecurities also develope during the informative years, heighten social pressure coupled with body changes can lead so many kids to develop negative doubt and poor self feelings regarding body image social status and everything in between.
We offer TWEEN sessions that will not only capture all the things about them that changes so quickly, but a shoot full of confidence boosting and fun (let's face it we all enjoy being pampered dobted over). Styled shoot with hair and makeup artists on set as well as older girls who are great positive role models acedemically and, socially in the community...what an experience! Lights, camera, action !! They will be sure to remember this experience for years to come. Our hope is to freeze this time forever with tasteful heirloom quality images to cherish AND have the experience be a huge positive impact as they embark on the teen years that can be oh so trying and tough for some.
Change. It's inevitable. We do it daily. Actually, every second of the day things are changing all around us. We welcome and embrace each new season.
So with seasons changing, so do we. While we are true to our style and brand...we haven't been just shooting behind the lens. If so, we would be stale! Year after year we keep growing and evolving. If we wouldn't, how can we stay up to date fresh and stylish for our lifetime clients?
We brainstorm, get creative, and pull together some amazing sets and concepts. We also spend hours and hours learning and perfecting our craft. Behind the scenes, we are taking workshops and classes from world renowned professionals. We strive to stay on top of the latest trends while creating timeless, sharp, crisp, clear, and vibrant images for all of our families.
Sometimes we find some photographers like our ideas and often they replicate concepts and sometimes they just plain ol' playgerize. We are flattered ...but one thing that contributes to success that has stood the test of time isn't from mimicking others, it's from being innovative yet doing so in such a way that our clients want to come back -time and time again, because it's about the experience they had while with us and the professional product they leave with.
We wanted to write this blog to keep you updated on the things we have changing! We are adding some new faces to the Mudpies team, but, just because they are new to the team doesn't mean they are new to photography or new to the studio, but rather their focus is on other areas of Mudpies that can be grown. Stay tuned for formal introductions!
