Savvy Images Client Compliments

Compliments from Savvy Moms • Houston Newborn Photographer

Newborns

Things have been a bit quiet on the blog this past week because I was in Las Vegas for almost an entire week soaking up lots of amazing information at a HUGE photography convention. My ultimate goal was to come back to Alaska with the knowledge to improve the overall Savvy Images experience from start to finish! Spoiler Alert… I’ll talk about that a lot more on the Travel Tuesday Blog this coming week. (wink, wink) Savvy Images Client Compliments Being fairly new to Anchorage, I think it’s VERY important for my potential Savvy Moms to know what to expect of their experience with Savvy Images! What you should know is that I LOVE photographing precious little newborn babies! But what I know, is that it can be a bit scary entrusting someone you know very little about to capture precious memories of your brand new little bundle of joy. Newborn photos are key to capturing those perfect little details, and it’s definitely an investment that you don’t want to question. Even though there are currently lots of very exciting improvements in the works, I wanted to share what some of our existing Moms have to say about their experience with Savvy Images! All you have to do is visit the “Compliments” page on the Savvy Images Website

Most first time mothers don’t realize that a newborn photography session can be a lot of work, but my goal is to see that their session is a smooth sailing success! That is also why I make sure that my moms are properly prepared before hand by providing lots of great information in an electronic “Newborn Welcome Package”. Knowledge is half the battle, and patience is key (don’t worry, I have plenty of that)…haha. It is extremely important to me that each session is as meaningful as possible! This is why I LOVE to brainstorm with my moms about how to make their newborn session completely unique TO THEM. Here are some specific examples of our successful brainstorming: incorporating their little one’s nursery theme into the session, including their fur baby/sibling in the session, having their bundle wear cute outfits that their MOM knitted, or even using dad’s old baseball glove as a photo prop. Not only do I incorporating meaningful personal items in the session if possible, but I also have LOTS of beautiful newborn wraps, hats, headbands and props to use during each session. I love coordinating beautiful colors to compliment, and add the perfect touch to your beautiful photographs. If you are currently expecting, and would like to explore your newborn photo options, please contact Savvy Images, so we can chat more about your perfect and unique newborn session!!

The King Maternity Session • Anchorage Maternity Photos

Maternity

This beautiful mother-to-be had a VERY detailed vision of what she wanted her maternity photos to look like. She contacted me monthsss in advance to schedule her session. Luckily we were able to coordinate it successfully for when I was back in Texas shooting a wedding! We began the first portion at a nearby boutique hotel to capture some classy, beautiful, boudoir belly photos. You are just going to have to trust me when I say that those are absolutely gorgeous, because we’re going to keep those photos for her and her husband’s eyes only. ;-) For the second portion, we ventured to (what seems to be) one of the most popular photo spots in all of Austin… the cliffs overlooking the 360 Bridge. This location NEVER disappoints though. It amazes me that my moms don’t mind making the hike all the way up to the top pregnant, but then again, that just goes to show that they are game to do ALMOST anything for beautiful photos! I absolutely LOVE that. Just my kind of client. Momma King was very passionate about having beautiful sunset silhouette maternity photos. I have to say that we had MAJOR success there! In fact, I actually ordered a HUGE canvas of the very last photo to display in my studio. I CANNOT wait to get that in!! This is their first baby, and I know that they will cherish these photos & moments together for years to come. After all, her glow is just stunning!!Savvy Images Destination Maternity Photos

Introducing Callum Wylie • Anchorage Newborn Photos

Newborns

This little guy is growing up fast, but I’m still excited about officially introducing him and his awesome family!! Seriously, they are SO much fun, and I’m blessed to have such awesome clients! His mom came to me with a fun “before and after baby” idea she’d seen online. Not only do I think we nailed it, but we all had SO much fun actually taking the photos. That is a HUGE plus in my opinion! We took the first silly family photo during their maternity session, and then after Callum made his grand entrance into the world, we took the second photo at the beginning of his newborn session. I LOVE that they wanted to include the entire family in some fun photos! This handsome little guy was a dream to photograph. He was alert during the first part of his newborn session, but posed perfectly for my camera…I think mom and dad may have a little model on their hands?! All his little baby details were beyond precious, and I don’t believe he even cried ONCE.. Just amazing! That certainly happens, but not very often at all. Because we did the session in their home, we were even able to carefully pose him (with mom very close by), in a cool piece of artwork. I always love using personal items in newborn sessions when possible, to add an incredibly personal touch. In twenty years he will be able to look back at these photos, see that piece of artwork in his parent’s living room, and then realize just how small his cutie booty actually was!

Introducing Kasen Campbell • Anchorage Newborn Photos

Newborns

There has been a lot of catching up, as well as exciting plans in the works over here at Savvy Images!! You may remember cute little Kasen’s sneak peek from last spring. This little guy was born three weeks early weighing in at a whopping 4 pounds and 10 ounces, and spent lots of time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). I can say one thing with certainty… this handsome mini man is a fighter! Though he was a bit gassy during his newborn session, he continues to make his parents very proud. Haha, it could have been worse. He put us to work, but we definitely captured some pretty precious photos for mom and dad. Including their first family photo with his fur-brother Presley! I can’t wait until he grows up to see how little his butt once was in his daddy’s baseball glove!! And I bet one day he’ll also play many great rounds of golf with his grandpa’s golf club. There is no doubt that dad will make sure Kasen is a great little sportsman!Savvy Images Newborn Photos Kasen

The Dorman Family • Houston Family Photos

Families, Kids

Each year I gift a pretty frame and a family photography session to my sister and her husband for Christmas. Last year she decided to use that session for portraits of her beautiful step daughter. It took us SIX months to coordinate our schedules to get that session done! This Christmas we did her family photo session the VERY next day, and I was beyond eager to take photos of them! They live way down in southeast Texas, so we actually ventured to Louisiana for their session. It was definitely worth the drive, because I am IN LOVE with their family photos! You better believe I’ll be printing a few of these myself to hang in my home. They have their hands full with a beautiful sassy teen and two rambunctious, yet handsome boys. I’m beyond grateful to be their Aunt, and am SO glad they’re so much fun. As always, the boys were incredibly silly. They had a blast running around the huge deck! My little newborn inspiration and aspiring photographer even had to break out his new iPod and take photos himself. I absolutely love it!! Looking at these photos again makes me miss them something major, BUT they also make me smile… because I know they have beautiful photos hanging on their walls now! Just as everyone should. ;-)Savvy Images Destination Family PhotographerSeriously so precious and SO silly!!

Savvy Images Destination Family PhotographerSince they’re family I had to sneak in one of their funny face test shots! Haha

Savvy Images Destination Family PhotographerThey have to keep an eye on this pretty Miss! ;-)

Ayden is ONE • Anchorage Baby Photography

Babies

Photographing this baby girl over the last year has been so much fun! Sassy ~ Sassy ~ Sassy!! I called it the first time I met her during her newborn session, and then shortly after that she made it even more apparent during her six month photo session. I’m so glad that I was right, because capturing all that sass in her photos is an absolute blast! Her mom wanted to do Ayden’s one year session at their brand new home, so it was the perfect opportunity to take some really fun photos where they get to hang out everyday. BUT, it’s not every day that you get to take photos with balloons in your bed, and smashing cake on mom’s nice marble kitchen counter! Just LOOK at those cute little pony tails!! In a dozen years or so, mom and dad will need to look back on her all her cute photos to remind themselves what a sweet little bundle of joy she was. I have a sneaking suspicion that Ayden will definitely keep them on their toes for years to come, and I look forward to capturing many more of their fun moments along the way.Anchorage Baby Photographer - Savvy Images

Introducing Thomas Brady • Houston Newborn Photographer

Newborns

This little newborn was such a handsome little guy. He was curious about what was going on during most of his session, but was definitely a laid back fella. His full name is Thomas Brady, but he his parents have decided he will go by his middle name, Brady. As you could potentially suspect from his name, and definitely tell from his newborn photos, someone’s daddy MAY or may not be a BIG fan of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. ;-) I absolutely love when parents choose to incorporate things into their newborn sessions that are incredibly meaningful. OH, I should mention that his sweet mom handmade all of the little newbie outfits that we used during his session! Her future little ladies man modeled everything very nicely for us! Another personal touch that makes his newborn photos even more meaningful. She has made lots of cool things for Brady and his big sister. One day they will be VERY proud to have such a talented mommy! I only wish I had time to teach myself how to crochet…lol…maybe one day!?

Mckenzie is ONE • Houston Baby Photography

Babies

This photography session is proof that just because everything doesn’t turn out exactly as planned, doesn’t mean it’s going to be anything less than perfect. I’ve photographed this beautiful little lady since she was in her mom’s belly. It seems as if that was WAY back when..lol. I was very excited to also take her One Year Photos when I returned back to Texas last month! Her session was early in the morning, it was chilly outside (for us Texans), and little miss had the sniffles. Not a good day for her. Even though we did her session at her favorite neighborhood park, she just wasn’t feeling it. But we went with it regardless, and I am SO glad that we did! We ultimately had to pull out all the tricks we could to get a sweet smile out of her. She always has been such a serious little lady! Thank goodness momma knows just how to get her baby girl to really giggle! I mean, how precious is her cute little giggle AND her precious little pout?!? I love that we were able to capture each of those expressions! I have no doubt that her mom is going to break these photos out to show off when Mckenzie gets a lot older. Just as she should! ;-) Anchorage Baby One Year Photography

The Withrow Maternity Session • Anchorage Maternity Photos

Families, Kids, Maternity

These maternity photos make me SMILE!! Seriously…how in the world could these photos not make someone smile from ear to ear..?! From actually taking the photos, to editing them, to writing this blog post. All around, it was such a great photo session. Thanks to this handsome little ham Halen (and recently proud big brother), mom’s awesome style choosing the outfits for their session, all the lovely fall leaves, and even the evening light was fantastic!! I thought the Boardwalk at Potter Marsh would be a great place to keep this little guy’s attention, and get a good variety of great photos. Working with kiddos his age definitely keeps me on my toes and I love it! We played in the leaves, walked along the boardwalk, looked for birds, bears & fish, and mom & dad got lots of silly kisses. We manage to snag a few photos of Halen’s stunning momma, and even some of the proud parents alone. Someone (ahem…Halen..lol) loved taking photos, and tried to sneak his way into all the great shots! Haha. Of course we didn’t mind though. It was clear that this little guy lovesss his mom and dad. There is no doubt that he will absolulely love his baby brother Hudson just as much! SO DARN CUTE. I’m already looking forward to photographing the whole family soon!!Anchorage Maternity Photos

Introducing Novi Snow • Anchorage Newborn Photographer

Newborns, Pets

As I was driving to this newborn session, I started getting abnormally excited. Not only was it my first session here in Anchorage, but as I continued driving further up the mountain side, I came to suspect that it would truly have an authentic “Alaskan” feel to it. I was definitely right about that. At six days young, with her nine pounds of cuteness, Novi (which means “New”) was VERY curious to know what was going on! Luckily mom and dad’s iron stove kept all of us warm and toasty, so she was cozy and calm for her first photo shoot. Her big brother Cooper (a 3 year old handsome Alaskan Malamute/Lab mix) was just as curious, and even more so, protective of his new baby. I can’t even explain the cuteness of these two together cuddled up on an old sheepskin that has been passed down thru her dad’s family. Priceless perfection in her little log cabin nursery! Now they can start a new family tradition and pass their precious photo down WITH the sheepskin. It will be really cool to see the size difference between Cooper and Novi once she gets a little bigger. I have no doubt they will have a blast playing in the snow up in the mountains!Best Anchorage Newborn Photos

The Thorsson Maternity Session • Anchorage Maternity Photos

Maternity

This beautiful Momma-to-be and I have a couple mutual friends back in Texas. Once our move to Anchorage was in motion, I was SO excited to hear that she was interested in having maternity and newborn photos taken! With countless beautiful new spots to photograph at, I had such a hard time deciding where to do their session! Though the wind definitely kept us on our toes, I’m very happy with our decision. Big Sister-to-be was such a little ham! She is certainly not a fan of being in front of the camera, but she kept us all cracking up while running circles around mom and dad, and photo bombing their photos! That little lady definitely has a personality, and we’re both eager to meet her little brother sometime soon!! Be sure to subscribe to the Savvy Images Blog (to the right of this paragraph) to be one of the first to see the “sneak peek” from his newborn photo session shortly after he makes his grand appearance!Anchorage Maternity Photos taken by Savvy Images
