Urban Family Photo Session in Downtown Tucson

My second photo session since back surgery was this morning in downtown Tucson with my awesome sister and her 3 children who happen to make great nieces and a nephew! We captured some great urban family photos and some of just the kids as well. Lots of laughter and hugs were had by all - which made for some great shots I'm happy to say. Check them out below:

How to Look Your Best in Photos! {Tucson Portrait Photography}

If you know me well, you know that I really don't like to go shopping, but we all have to do it at some point. As I was waiting in line one day, probably because I needed to do laundry and I was probably just buying cleans socks or underwear for the boys instead doing the laundry (HAHA!) there it was, the cutest little book I had ever seen!

How adorable is that? It seems like the Northwest side of Tucson keeps growing and growing, so the line was LONG. I start to flip through the pages, but it didn't take me long to find it...page TWO:

SO CUTE...how to look your best in photos! Funny thing is, it was spot on! The whole book is filled with great advice and fun activities to do with your kids at all ages.

Want to make your own bubble bath? Find out on page 24! Give yourself a perfect manicure (yes please!) turn to page 51!  Grow a crystal? Flip to page 107! Act like a celebrity...I have always wanted to know how...lol...it's right on page 23. Too much fun.

They also makes one for boys as well, having two of my own little super heros! Have a wonderful Friday and a superfun weekend! ~Michelle

Tucson, Arizona Professional Photographer & Merit Prints!

I have a couple of exciting things that I would like to share with my wonderful clients and blog followers!  The first is that this past Monday, me and my wonderful second shooter (aka hubby, Owe) drove up to Phoenix for the Arizona Professional Photographers Association's bi-annual print critique meeting and 3 of the 4 prints that I entered received merits! It is such an honor to be recognized by my peers who are all Master Photographers and extremely talented in our industry.  The fourth image was extremely close to receiving a merit as well and I made the recommended adjustments and will enter it at the International Print Competition as well. Owe being the engineer and math lover that he is, was quite proud of me and the fact that only 18 of the 100 prints submitted received a merit and 3 were created by Wondertime Photography!  Here they are:

"Wedding Gift"

 

"Journey Through"

 

"Three's Company"

 

"Twice the Anticipation"

The second exciting thing is that I received my official certification from the Professional Photographers of America and I can now add "CPP" after my name which stands for Certified Professional Photographer.  I had to pass a very difficult exam this past January and submit a portfolio of images to be judged, which also passed first time around. Yay!

I am proud of these accomplishments and look forward to working toward earning my Master of Photography title by entering the above images at the International Print Competition which will be scored at Imaging USA in January 2012 in New Orleans, and each year thereafter.  You can only submit 4 images per year and you need 13 merits from print merits from the International Competition (the other 12 merits come from service/education merits) in order to received your master degree. So, it generally takes several years to earn this distinction, but I am so excited to get started this year! Thanks again to everyone - I have the best clients, friends and family ever! *hugs* ~M

Sisters Urban Photography Session {Tucson Portrait Photographer}

We had a great time photographing these beautiful twin sisters who also happen to be my VERY first models 11years ago when I got my first digital camera!  So here they are all grown up, and thank goodness my photography skills have grown up along with them! ;)  They are gorgeous and sweet and kind and here is a sneak peek.  The next day we did their big sister's Senior Photo Session, who happens to be my Goddaughter, so these girls are very special to me and made this photo session extra meaningful.  I just can't believe how FAST they are growing up! Wow, time sure does fly when you are having fun! Ok, enough chit chatting, here is their sneak peek - more to come with big sis in a few days! ~M

Tucson Family & Children's Portrait Photographer!

YaY! More family portraits from downtown Tucson this past weekend! I photograph so many families with young children, that I am quite used to the chaos and high energy that usually occurs during a photo session with little kids (especially boys --- especially my own!)  It's quite the norm to see me running around and playing while I photograph and so you can imagine --- especially if you have little ones yourself --- how RELAXING it was to photograph this lovely family of tweens! THEY ACTUALLY STOOD STILL FOR MORE THAN 1 SECOND - YIPEE!!!! I think I had just plain forgotten that this can happen with children! ;)  Here's a sneak peek for this wonderful family - thanks again for a great time, weren't the trains super cool?!? :) ~M
