Portraits and head shots for Amanda Picone, a talented New York City wedding photographer.

I met Johanna and Harper on the Upper West Side for the maternity portrait session.  We made our way into Central Park as well.

This was the first part of the portraits;  second session is coming up right after the baby is born.

Here are some beautiful portraits of Johanna and Harper.

Thank you for all your help Alicyn!! Can’t wait to see Johanna and Harper again and meet the baby.

I have decided to give something back.  

I did this last year and it was such a great success I have decided to repeat it again this year.

In honor of Mother Earth and birthdays in general, I am giving one lucky couple a maternity portrait session and a newborn session.

Here it is how it works:

Anyone can apply who is expecting their baby sometimes between end of May and end of August 2009.  It does not have to be your first baby.

The session will take place at a location of your choice.  After the maternity session once the baby is born we’ll schedule the newborn portrait session as well.

Any couples who are interested please send me a recent photo of yourselves and a few sentences about yourselves.  The last day to enter is Wednesday, April 29th by midnight.

The results will be drawn on May 1st and posted on the blog.

Please send the photos/e-mail to mariann@bluedaisykids.com

Looking forward to it!!

Mariann

(here is one of my baby photos…)

I spent six days in the Carefree area in Arizona in January while attending a wedding photographers’ convention.  I also organized two photo sessions with local models and make up artists so I can take advantage of the beautiful Arizona landscape and photograph for myself.  I had a great time photographing all the models and some photographers as well.

Here are some images that I really like.

This is Justine and Brent.

This is Gina who is actually a fellow wedding photographer from Vancouver and also a bride.

This is Nicole.

This is Monika Broz a very talented photographer from New York/New Jersey.  Monika jumped in last minute to model for me as one of the models got sick.  Monika was so much fun to work with and she made a gorgeous model!!

Justine with AJ.

This is Rebecca.

This is Travis.

Monika and Rebecca’s make up and hair was done by Heather Wilson, an extremely talented and experienced make up artist.  Heather travels all over the US and she does everything from bridal make up to runway models.

Justine, Nicole and Gina’s make up was done by Stephanie Nault a young and talented make up artist.

The fall months are usually really busy with family portrait sessions.  Some kids I have been photographing for several years and it’s amazing to see how much they grow and how their personalities shape.

Here are some favorite portraits from the November and December sessions that were taken in the studio, on location and at the families homes.
