She might not look 1 but this tiny, cute little girl celebrated her 1st Birthday a couple of weeks ago. She's full of energy and loves to dance. She's an absolute pleasure to photograph! Thanks for letting me be a part of Dallas' 1 year!

Family love...

Sometimes when photographing two little ones, it’s a challenge to pose them together. This session was no exception, but they were so adorable together it just took a while to find a comfortable pose for these sweethearts. Thanks, I really enjoyed your families company and hope you enjoy this sneak peek!

Best Blogger Tips Pin It Wow what a year...2008 came to a quick close....and man did it fly by! Seems every mag I pick up this time of year has a best of list. So why not make my own. LOL

So, I wanted all of my blog readers to take the time to look over last year's images and vote for your favorite image(s).

The image with the most votes (at least 5) will win a Free Session! So, if you had your portrait taken last year start calling friends and family and beg them to vote for you!
In about a week or two I will come back to this blog and see which images had the most votes! Good Luck!

FREE PUPPIES!

| 1 comments
Best Blogger Tips Pin It


Are you looking for a Great Dog? Stop by Oasis Pet Resort in Jesup. They have some great lab mix puppies and the best thing is they are FREE to a good home. These puppies have been dumbed next to the road and found Christmas eve. Oasis Pet Resort took them in to get them healty again and they are now approximatly 12 weeks old. There are 4 pupies left, mostly black and all females. If you are interest or now someone that would just love any of these puppies please call 530-9779 or just bring them a visit at 656 E. Pine St.

While we are talking about these precious dogs I would also like to let you now about our new upcoming event for pets

OH MY DOG!

Oasis Pet Resort and Photographic Portraits are offering a Special Pet Portrait Weekend!
We know how important your pets are to you - they are part of the family and deserve the same special attention. Whether you have a prized show dog you want photographed or just your lazy house cat, Photographic Portraits knows exactly how to photograph your pet so that you have a beautiful portrait you will cherish for a lifetime. What we want to capture is your dog’s essence, their spirit and character. We want to give you photographic memories -- portraits of your dog being themselves -- to cherish for years to come.

So what do I need to Bring?
We have an assortment of props but really encourage you to bring your own - so your pet feels comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. Don't forget all those cute outfits & accessories or their bed's and pillows!!

So what happens in a Oh My Dog! photo shoot?
Each dog or cat session is fun and easy-going, keeping in mind with the more natural, casual style of my photography.
The session typically lasts 10-15 minutes.
But my dog is a nutcase. She’s wild and unruly and doesn’t know sit-stay ... or ... My dog is shy ... or ... My dog bites ... will you still shoot her?
Absolutely. We’ve worked with fear-biters and shy dogs alike ... with or without the camera. It may take some extra patience and a little more time, maybe a good walk beforehand, but we’ll get there. As for wild, unruly FiFi, of course, a little obedience certainly helps ... but again, these aren’t formal "studio" portraits.

Where will the session take place?
Oasis Pet Resort
(located inside D&E Pools)
656 E. Pine Street

How do I book?
You do not need to schedule an appointment. We will be photographing from 10 until 5 on Friday February 20th and Saturday the 21st from 1 until 5.

The Oh My Dog specials!

Great Dog Special: $80
(Same pose package)
Session Fee
1-8x10
2-5x7's
8 Wallets

Fun Dog Special: $60
(Same Pose Package)
Session Fee

When & how do I get my portraits?

Your Portraits will be available for pick up approximately 3 weeks after your session at
Photographic Portraits
142 S. Brunswick Street
Jesup, GA 31546
