An evening outCalvert, Charles, St. Mary’s Children’s Photographer

Monday night, I took the family out after dinner to Greenwell State Park. It’s been a long time since I’ve taken any portraits of the girls, and I also wanted to get atleast 1 portrait of Tristan since he turned 1 month old on Monday. It certainly was a stressful evening though. The girls decided to play in the dirt and ofcourse, Tristan decided he was hungry, cranky and tired as soon as we arrived to our destination. I didn’t get many shots but my only goal was atleast one of each child, and I achieved that.

I wanted to remind everyone that I am currently booking August sessions and in 2 weeks I will officially be off of maternity leave. If you have just had a newborn, and you would like portraits, please contact me right away so that I can get your little one a session before he/she is 3 weeks old.

Such a sweet pose I had to give it a different post processing than my usual stuff.

I know that I am still on maternity leave, but I will ALWAYS make an exception when I am “off” for a newborn session. Newborn sessions are very important and you only have such a short window to get them in for portraits. When L contacted me and asked for newborn portraits in August, I quickly made an exception for baby T and got her in here within a few days of contacting me.

Little T is absolutely adorable. She started out wide awake but after awhile we were able to get her to go to sleep and then the rest of the session was a breeze. She did very well! I hope to see her back in my studio at the beginning of 2011 for her 6 month portraits.

August Special’s

August is quickly approaching and I have begun to think about some special’s I’d like to run for the month of August when I return to work. I have different special’s for every age group!!!

I am also running a short newborn promotion from now until October 31st! When you book a paid newborn session, you will receive your 6 month old session FREE! After October 31st, the regular promotion of booking a newborn session and receiving a $25 gift certificate for a 6 month old session will go back into effect.

You may begin booking now for your End of Summer session. Session dates valid from August 1st - August 22nd. I have weekend sessions and weekday sessions available. I am available from 10am to 4pm for sessions. Sessions book quickly, so book yours as soon as possible!

Ofcourse, if you ever have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me at heather@chapmansphoto.com!

Please notice that I will be out of town for most of September due to both of my daughter’s birthday’s. We are taking the kids to Disney World for a week and then visiting family in Florida for another week. I will not be available from September 1st - September 22nd.

On June 19th, 2010, my husband and I welcomed a new addition to our family. Our little BOY was born at 3:04am after a long and somewhat difficult labor. I am so excited to have a boy now in addition to my 2 little girls. Here are some portraits of my handsome little guy.

Self PortraitsCalvert, Charles, St. Mary’s Maternity and Newborn Photographer

After getting my hair cut and colored mid last week, I felt great over the weekend! I grabbed my husband and took him into my studio to help me achieve some wonderful self maternity portraits since I only have 5 weeks to go before I reach my due date, and only 2 more weeks until I’m full term. I wanted to make sure that I had some done before the baby was born, and since I felt great, I figured it was the perfect opportunity. This week, I hope to be able to achieve some outdoor maternity portraits, but am not pushing my limits. I went over everything I could with my husband so that he knew what he needed to do to help me capture some great moments. Unfortunately, neither of my children wanted to take part in the portraits.

I do have maternity portraits in color, but these are my favorite’s and I think they look best in black and white.

Most likely, this session with myself will probably be my last session until near the end of summer time when I’ve had the baby and am feeling refreshed again!

I hope that this spring is treating everyone well so far! We’ve had our fair share of nice days, and our fair share of rather cold days as well.

I wanted to send out a reminder that as of June 10th, 2010 I will be going on maternity leave and will not be booking sessions until August 1st. If you would like portraits done before I go on maternity leave, please contact me by May 27th, 2010 to fit your session in, in time. I book 2 weeks in advance but please remember that newborn sessions will be booked right away into the nearest possible slot I have available. Newborn sessions are done before 3 weeks old, so it’s vital to get these portrait sessions booked before the baby is too old.

Please see my website on how to contact me if you wish to book a spring session by June 10th!

Beautiful Baby CCalvert, Charles, St. Mary’s Newborn Photographer

One of my best friends had their daughter just a little over 2 weeks ago. Ofcourse, I dragged her over here so that I could get some beautiful newborn portraits of her. Once this little one fell asleep, she was a dream to photograph. She practically let me do anything with her once she was in a deep sleep. Having this little one around makes me excited about meeting baby #3 this summer! Thanks, H, for letting me photography baby C.

It is now officially spring! Yay! I’m so excited! The weather has been gorgeous lately and I’ve been out and about enjoying it.

Today, I had the opportunity to photograph a gorgeous little 6 month old girl. Unfortunately, she was a bit under the weather and not feeling so great. Even with not feeling well though, this little girl was a trooper. She was such a little cutie pie and her parents were great to work! Thanks S, for letting me photograph little J.

Little A (see below) brought her cousin with her for his own little session. These little ones were such cutie pies. Little N was pretty tired during his session and was ready to pass out by the end but we still got some really cute portraits. Their families were great to work with. Thank you T for letting me photograph Little N.

I don’t photograph too many babies between the ages of Newborn and 6 months, but I missed the opportunity to photograph this little girl shortly after birth. Little A and her family came over today and we were able to get some cute portraits of her at 3 months of age. Thanks B for allowing me to photograph your baby girl! I hope you enjoy your sneak peak.
