{Casting Call} Children’s Commercial Photographer, Sheridan WY

A very talented lady contacted me a month or so ago, wondering if I’d want to photograph her handmade hats and dresses for sale through her adorable business:

Noggin Knots

Ummm, yes please!  And so she stopped by last week with a pile of beautifully crocheted hats and handmade pillow-case dresses in the most darling fabrics to adorn some beautiful girlies.  So fun.

And although I rarely have my children “pose” for pictures – that’s just not me – Sophie and I did take advantage of the day we had our blizzard and decided these would fit the bill.  She’s so NOT into modeling, (although she wanted to help me out with this one, sweet thing) you would laugh if you knew the measures her daddy was going to in the background and how ridiculous we were as she fidgeted away, begging to be finished.  hehe. 

Anyway, I am working to build a portfolio for Marcie, with Noggin Knots, and thought I’d have a little fun with it…I’m looking for a 2-3 girlies, aside from my own, to be the cover girls!

Here is what I need:

(ages are approximate as the dresses are made to fit loosely)

Baby Girls size: 12 months ::: 18 months ::: 24 months

To be eligible, you must leave a comment here with interest letting me know what size your little one is, and be willing to sign a model release allowing the images to be used on her website and mine.

All entries are due by May 24th (2 weeks from now!) and 2-3 winners will be drawn randomly from each size category.  No pictures necessary – this is for fun!

Free session, no min. purchase.  You may buy prints at 20% off if you choose once the proofs are released.  All sessions are “mini” in size, meaning 15 min. or so.Are they yummy or what?!!

STAY TUNED FOR SOME SWEET GIVEAWAYS COMING SOON HERE ON THE BLOG!!!Looking forward to hearing from you!  And don’t forget to check out all her cute things – go buy something and treat the little girlie in your life!!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you amazing mamas out there!!!

    OMG! Those are adorable! I will definately check out the website. I also told my sister-in-law, so if you see another Jennifer I didn’t magically grow a 12 month old : )Her daughter Izzy is a DOLL!

    Hi, Alissa! My sister-in-law, Jennifer Ann Reed, told me about this. I loved your pics of Halle!!! You have also photographed others I know, and your pictures are beautiful. Isabelle is just about to move into her 12 month clothes. I have been postponing it because her 9 month things are still cute! :) We would love have Izzy featured and get her life in pictures started. Thanks for considering her.

    Jenni Reed (I know, it’s a little odd, but Jennifer Ann and I both married into the Reed family, and our husbands’ sister is also a Jennifer!!!! )

    Oh, Let me know if you would like a pic of Izzy. You could find some on Facebook through Jennifer Ann or myself.

    My little one is 20 1/2 mo (wears both 18mo and 24mo clothes). I’d love to volunteer her for some pics – she LOVES hats! :)

  21. JennaRae Akers May 17th, 2010 1:30 pm

    Beautiful pictures as always and of course beautiful model to go with. Mallorie is 27mo and still wears mostly 18mo clothing with some 24mo. She would love to put on “pretty dresses” (as she called them) for pics.
