Just a fun little bit of news to share this morning. I entered a couple of my favorite images into the photography contest at the Erie County Fair this year. My portrait entry received “best of” and was in consideration for the tri-color ribbon - yay! My pictorial entry received an honorable mention. It made trekking down to the fair 8.5 months pregnant with 4 kids and a husband in tow totally worth it.

Early November sessions are currently booking and October is extremely limited with just one weekend session left - please book now!

Here are a couple of iphone pictures from last night at the fair. . . .

“Best Of” - Portrait

Honorable Mention - Pictorial

Its Fan Friday again! Up for grabs this week is a complimentary 12×12 4 Image Collage with the purchase of your session fee ($160 value). All you have to do is leave a comment below and say why you would love a session with SH Portraits, would love a collage, or have loved working with SH Portraits in the past. Anything really! I’ll use a random number generator to determine the winner. And. . .because I totally forgot to post a Fan Friday last weekend - I will leave this one open to comments through 11:59pm TOMORROW and announce the winner on Sunday. So be sure to share the contest with your friends and family too!

I have some fun exciting news and things in the works that I will be able to share in the next few weeks too. I am just bursting to tell everyone but have to wait - so be sure to keep an eye out.

For now - here is an example of what the collage would look like and it is mounted on my standard styrene to protect it. Just frame and hang!

Its Fan Friday! Today i will be giving away a gift certificate woth $50 that you can use or give to a friend! Just comment on this blog post saying why you would like a session with SH Portraits. Yup - it really is THAT easy! Tomorrow I will use a random number generator to choose the winner.

Of course I have to include a picture with the blog post so I am posting one of my kiddos, from two years ago (well almost). Hard to believe he was this tiny - I love his wrinkly little feet here.

I will be on Long Island for a very limited engagement June 4th-7th please let me know asap if you would like a session! Details below!

I thought it would be fun to feature a session every few weeks or so on my blog so friends and clients can see what a complete session would look like. All featured sessions are ok’d by the family to show to each and every one of my faithful blog readers. I hope you all enjoy the very first featured session! There will be a new page under the information tab that says “Featured Session” where you will be able to find them in the future as well. I hope you enjoy viewing this little guy as much as I did photographing him!
