We’re proud to again be sponsoring the Clive Festival Portrait Contest and excited to be unveiling the first of three new categories for this year’s contest.  BQ is our category for Boys ages 2-10.  Stay tuned for other new categories and full contest details on our website at www.photojeania.com/clivefest.  In the mean time, we hope you like the cover boys who helped us create this cool new theme for the contest.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to photograph dozens of beautiful children all dressed up for Easter at Glen Oaks Country Club.  In continuing with our flower girl theme, most of the girls wore flowers or pretty ribbons in their hair.  The flowers were provided by Danette Lynd of Fleur de Lynd.

A few of the images from the event are included here in this post.  We also have a beautiful video posted on our website arranged to an appropriately named Bobby Darin tune http://www.photojeania.com/glenoaks.  We hope you enjoy it.

 Any families interested in purchasing or viewing more of the images can contact our studio at 888-482-5735 and ask for Jeannie.

In February we were inspired to create fine art children’s portraits with a flower theme and just a touch of color and our friends and clients were eager to volunteer.  Our friend Danette Lynd designed the floral head dresses for us.  She is a very talented and experienced floral designer and is in the process of starting up a high-end floral design business aptly named “Fleur de Lynd”.  Here is what we came up with.  Please let us know what you think.

If you like this type of portraiture we will be offering children’s sessions for Glen Oaks Country Club members at their Easter Brunch on Sunday and we will also be offering to the public at the Clive Festival Portrait Contest in June to Des Moines area children ages 2-7.  Of course, you can always book a session with us in the mean time.  These portraits are great Mother’s Day gifts and would look great on a Gina Alexander Handbag.
