Freckleface Photography Blog

It’s that time of year again!!

Need some great family portraits but don’t need a full session?

This is for you!

Send me an e-mail at frecklefacephoto@mts.net to reserve your spot!

We get the Winnipeg Free Press everyday. I love to have a cup of coffee and read the paper after my girls have gotten on the bus to go to school. But for last couple of weeks I haven’t read it. I can’t. The devastation in Haiti is heartbreaking. I tear up whenever I do catch a glimpse of it on the news. My kids asked me about it today as their school is raising funds. My middle child said they were raising money to help save people who were trapped under buildings. I almost lost it right there. How do you explain to a 7 year old the difference between a rescue mission and a recovery mission. Like I said, heartbreaking.

So what can I do to help? I can’t go to Haiti, I can’t give hundreds of dollars. But I can do this…

This is an effort started by Michele from Pinkletoes Photographyand Lyndsay from Life in Motion Photography which I’m sure will balloon across the globe.

I had so much fun at the baby & kids show this past weekend!

It was great to meet so many new people and get some great feedback on my work.

I also got to meet some other photographers who work in and around Winnipeg!

Here are a few pics of my booth!

Congratulations to Jackie K. who won the draw for a Simple Session and an accordion album with prints from your session! I’ll be in touch!

And there is still time to get the Show Special! You have until Feb. 22 to book your session to receive $50 print credit, a 3×3 accordion album with prints & a FREE meal from Supper Central!

For those who were wondering at the show, most of my knitted props are made by my friend Lee-Ann from Paper Raisins!

Thanks for looking!

Here are the rest of my Holiday card designs!
Some of the elements are customizable, just ask!
Same sizes and prices apply!

I meant to have these up ages ago but a nasty cold and a whole lot of sessions got in the way.

These cards are 2 sided with a solid colored back and available in 4×5.5($50.00 for 25) and 5×7 sizes ($60.00 for 25). They are printed on card stock so look and feel like a store bought card.

They can also be done on photo paper ,one sided ($35 for 25, $45 for 25)

If you’ve had a session done during the year and want to take advantage of these holiday cards, contact me and we can use an image from your session.

Check back tomorrow and I’ll post the bright and fun cards!

Thanks for looking!

So my computer’s playing tricks on me today and I’m having trouble with these new card templates. I wanted to have pictures in them but for now I’ll put them up just blank.

These new card designs are courtesy of mydoodlebugdesigns and they are so cute!! They could definitely be for anything, not just baby announcements. They are completely costumizable and the textures can be turned off for a cleaner look.

Here’s the 4×5.5 size:

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Little “P” loves Valentine’s Day!! She’s been so excited and has been counting the sleeps! You’d think Christmas was coming again! She was very excited for school this morning to share her valentine’s with her friends.

I took these pictures a few weeks ago after seeing the on another blog ( http://brendaacuncius.typepad.com/ ) and had to try the “ponyhearts” myself! She LOVED them!!
Another storyboard! 10×30

Have a great Valentine’s Day!!

Storyboards are a series of photos mounted on foamboard that tell a story. They are a great way to showcase a few of your favorite images. I will be offering them as part of the collections recently added to the website. If you haven’t seen them yet, check out “the Investment” on the site. Here are a couple samples and I will be adding more over the next few weeks. They come in 3 sizes,12×12,10×30 and 20×20 and in a few designs for each size, but if you want something specific, they can be completely custom.

20×20: Stay tuned for more!!
