Young Des Moines Models Wanted

September 8, 2009

We currently have opportunities for little models to break in some new clothing and sets we have purchased for the studio.  We will compensate all models with at least a complimentary gift portrait and discounts on any prints or products using images from the photo shoot.   I have listed what we are looking for below.  Even if your children do not fit the criteria, we would be grateful if you would refer friends with photogenic little ones that might be interested in some freebies.  To reserve a spot for your child, please call our studio at 888.482.5735 

  • Newborn babies (preferably girls)
  • 18-36 month boys
  • 6-9 month babies (that can sit up)
  • 24-36 month boy

Lydia’s back!  And she had to wear many hats to sit for this hand-painted portrait series.  Lydia quickly remembered that my lap is the coziest place in the studio, but we managed to get her to sit for the camera between visits once she discovered mom’s bubble wand.  The first image is an “Expressions” Collection Print which we will proudly display in our studio.expressions-toclydia-310lydia-355lydia-347lydia-335lydia-330lydia-384lydia-374lydia-423

Haven’s First Birthday

September 4, 2009

Haven first came to our studio when she was about three months old and wowed us with her big beautiful eyes.  Now she is all grown up and back for a little birthday celebration in our studio.

We are excited to be helping Ride for the Cure Iowa and Komen for the Cure create the first “Young Riders” calendar.  Photojeania is donating portrait sessions to create images for a 2010 wall calendar.  An online photo contest will decide the images to be selected for the calendar and contestants will receive generous discounts from Photojeania and freebies from Ride for the Cure.  All proceeds from contest entry fees and calendar sales benefit Ride for the Cure Iowa and Komen for the Cure.  The contest is open to children ages 6 months to 6 years of age.  For more information, please visit www.photojeania.com/youngriders.

Meet Lydia - a red-headed, blue-eyed princess with a serious side.  Lydia is very comfortable in the studio and made herself at home in my lap when she wasn’t striking poses.
