I’m teaching a photography class in January! Carroll County, Maryland

I’m going to be teaching some photography classes through the Carroll County Department of Recreation and Parks in the winter and spring of 2009.

The first class is called “Oh Baby, Baby!” and is geared towards anyone who wants to take better pictures of their baby or toddler.  The program will present quick and powerful techniques for lighting, backgrounds, posing, composing and more that will work no matter what kind of camera you have.  The class is January 27, 7 to 9 pm at the South Carroll Senior Center.  The cost for the class is $30.

Here’s a link to their site: www.ccgovernment.carr.org/recreation (I’ve discovered this link doesn’t work in Firefox, by the way.  Try Internet Explorer.)  You can view the Program Guide under “Things To Do”.  The Spring 2009 guide is due to be released in mid-January, and you’ll be able to sign up for the class online at that point.  You can also call their offices directly (410-386-2103) to register.

A visit from some old friends ~ Melanie B Photography ~ Family Photography ~ Maryland

Some good friends came to see me for a session last week with their new little girl and her big brother.   We got some wonderful shots of this beautiful family!  Check them out below.

This little one is 6 months old and learning to sit up on her own.  I love her beautiful little lips!

Big brother just turned 3, and took a little coaxing to get him into the pictures, but his daddy got him laughing!

And here’s the whole gorgeous family all together!

Last 2 year old of the year ~ Melanie B Photography ~ Main Street, Sykesville, Maryland

This lovely lady and her parents met me on Main Street to wander a bit and take some pictures.  Only 2 years old and so much beautiful, long, curly hair!

I loved this one where she grabbed her daddy’s head and turned his face up so she could see him.  :)

Don’t you wonder what little thoughts are running through that head?! Perhaps it’s, “Yes, I’m cute, I know it!”

We ended the session back at their house to warm up a bit and see if we could get a few close-ups of this beautiful girl…..success!

New Price List for 2009 ~ Melanie B Photography ~ Maryland

I’m putting the finishing touches on my new price list for 2009.  I’ll be introducing some new products, and a whole new structure to the price list….including three print collections and three digital collections!  The price list will go into effect on Jan 1, 2009, but if you make an appointment now (that is, pay your session fee before Dec 31, 2008) for a session to be held in January or February 2009, you will be able to use whichever list better suits your needs and your pocketbook.

I’ll be posting about the new products on the blog soon, so come back and visit to check them out!
