Two of my favorite friends came in to the studio with their adorable 7 month old baby. Between moments of crankiness he was all smiles and so adorable I almost couldn't take it! Here are my favorites from the session - plus a couple of bonus headshots at the end!
I just started a mailing list and sent out my first newsletter yesterday. Stay in the know and sign up now to hear about special deals, mini session announcements, and more.
Are you planning a family reunion, a big playdate, or just looking for a reason to get a bunch of friends or loved ones together? You can have Aliza Schlabach come to your event and run photography mini sessions at no cost to you. And bonus... the host gets a FREE photo session!
Photographers sometimes host back-to-back mini sessions a couple times per year to keep costs down for clients and profits reasonable for themselves. But now YOU can choose to host a PRIVATE event where the photographer comes to you.
Maybe you are planning an event where your friends, family, clients, or associates might also be interested in getting photos taken. Pictures of your children at a big playdate or mom's meetup. Individual family photos at a reunion or BBQ. Headshots at a networking event.
Or perhaps you've hosted or been to a tupperware party, jewelry party, etc? Now there's another fun and economical reason to get friends or family together: private mini photo session parties.
Please fill out my contact form, send an email to aliza@ByAliza.com, or give me a call me at 215-858-4658.
* Plus 6% PA sales tax. Session fee is due at time of booking to reserve a time slot, is non-refundable (unless event is canceled or postponed due to inclement weather) and includes a discount for signing a model release, which allows me to use the images in my online portfolio and social media. If client wishes to keep their session private, the non-discounted session fee is $100.
Another fabulous Father's Day photo session! I met up with this beautiful family at Appleford Estate in Villanova, and had a beautiful time photographing them as they explored the gardens, found a frog in the pond, examined flowers, blew bubbles. We spent less than an hour together but got so many wonderful images!
This momma surprised her husband with a family photo session for Father's Day. We met up near the Philadelphia Art Museum (Grandma came too) and enjoyed a lovely (if a bit toasty) morning together.
This morning I had the pleasure of taking photos for a family of four at the gorgeous Appleford Estate in Villanova, PA. "E", the cute little two year old redhead, was happy as long as she could move around and explore, so it was a fun shoot with lots of running around. Her one month old baby sister was chill and content, and everyone enjoyed the gorgeous scenery and taking our our time capturing the moments on a beautiful, warm and sunny morning. My assistant Tasha did a great job of keeping harsh sunlight out of everyone's faces, and we ended up with a lovely collection of lifestyle and posed images.
This weekend I was lucky enough to attend an EPIC fusion & blues costume dance party with a "Where the Wild Things Are" theme. I took a bunch of quick photos inside (in REALLY low ambient light), and then set up my speedlight and umbrella outside on the lawn for some fun portraits, using my flashlight to set focus in the dark. The party was such a blast, and it was so much fun to be able to capture these kinds of images.
One of my oldest friends came by to play with lighting and headshots. We took a bunch of somewhat traditional photos, and also played around with dramatic lighting and silly faces; I particularly love the first shot below where he curled up his mustache and gave me that crazy circus ringmaster face.
Yesterday was my kids' school fair, and after a quick chat with the school principal and the Home and School Association, I turned into the semi-official event photographer. I got some wonderful images that I hope the school will use and/or share with parents, but sadly I don't have minor model releases so I can't post most of them myself. What I can share with you are the photos of my own adorable littles (I'm not biased. Am I biased?) and some of the pulled back shots that show the event at large. It was really fun just wandering through the crowd and capturing little moments and happy faces; I hope I get more events on my calendar.
I've known this couple for over a decade, and was super excited when they asked me to photograph them with their amazing new tattoos. We played around with lighting and poses and ended up with a really nice combination of styles: magazine ad, headshot, couples boudoir, and ink closeups.
