A quick reminder that I will be out of town for the next week - back on Tuesday, April 20th. In the meantime, some new beautiful images as promised!

First, one of the most gorgeous seniors I know! After getting rained out twice, we finally got to do her photo shoot...but it paid off, as we got lots of pretty green and wild flowers at our locations!

Doesn't she look like a model?!

I love this photo -

I wasn't sure if the last photos we took were going to turn out, because it was getting pretty dark. But I was so happy this one did, because it's one of my favorites!

Next, a session up in Scottsdale for a family reunion. They looked so sharp in their jeans and black shirts!

Love this shot -

Isn't this photo so sweet? I especially love that it's in a railroad car, done in the vintage color effect.

Darling girls (also happen to be my nieces!)....

This might be one of my favorite photos of all time. I love the expressions on these boys' faces.

I'm usually partial to close-ups, but I really like this further-away family photo.

And is this not one of the cutest faces ever?!

The whole, beautiful family.

And here, my sister- and brother-in-law and nieces. Such a good-looking family.

Next up, photos from a mini session of a sweet baby boy that was so well-behaved and adorable. I really like the antiqued effect on this photo...another one of my current faves.

I ask parents all the time to give their baby kisses when I do baby sessions, and I just love the looks I get! I was excited to create a collage with this photo, because it is one of the sweetest I've seen!

Bye for now! Enjoy your week, and look for more photos posted when I return!

I hope you all had a happy Easter and were able to spend time with family celebrating this significant holiday!

I have been incredibly busy the past month or so! Lots of beautiful people, and beautiful photos. I am still working on six more sessions of post-processing that I can't wait to share with you, but here are some photos to enjoy right now.

First, my sweet baby boy's 3-month photo. He's got an intensely serious stare! (But also great smiles....)
Next are a couple photos from March's spring mini session day at Steampump Village. I love this family, and I have had the honor of photographing these kiddos both years that I have done the spring mini sessions. Plus, I have been photographing this sweet girl since she was in the womb! Doesn't she look darling admiring her new pink pinwheel?

And this little dude made me laugh and laugh with his newly acquired modeling skills. He really worked the camera!

This beautiful friend of mine is expecting her second baby in May, and I couldn't be more thrilled for her! Doesn't she have the cutest baby bump?! We did her session on a windy, rainy day, so we were stuck indoors for most of the session...but the photos still turned out great, don't you think?

More photos to come!

Also, I will be taking some time off while my family and I are on vacation beginning next week...AFTER April's spring mini session day this Saturday morning! There are still slots available, so if you're interested (details in posts below) please let me know ASAP. Drop me an email at elka@vignettesphotography.com. Slots beginning at 8:00am; location - Casas Adobes Plaza at Ina and Oracle.

A quick update on this year's Spring Mini Sessions! I am adding some morning slots for the March 13th mini sessions at Steam Pump Village. Morning time slots will begin at 9:00am.

Also, check out these photos from a recent session at Casas Adobes Plaza. Doesn't this first photo want to make you go out and have some family time?! And, oh my...this little girl is the sweetest thing you've ever met. And I LOVED her headbands that she wore during the session!

And here are her brothers...they got into this pose all on their own. I love it!

Saturday, March 13th - Steampump Village on Oracle Rd., north of First Ave., beginning at 4pm

What is the difference between a regular session and a mini session? A regular session with VignettesPhotography starts at $75 (for up to four people) and is usually one to two hours, providing more time for clothing changes and a more personalized location. A regular session also includes 30-40 final images in a private online gallery. A mini session is a great way to try out Vignettes Photography for the first time, or for repeat clients to get a shorter photo session in time for Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or just to update your household portraits.

Mini sessions are $50 and include:
20 minute session for up to two people
Private online gallery with 10-15 images
$10 product credit
Your family's name entered into a drawing for a free photo session in 2010 (valued at $75)!

Also, when you refer a new client who books a mini session, you receive a $5 Starbucks gift card!

Your mini session online album will be ready within two weeks of your session.

Call or email me today to reserve your spot! Mini session slots are limited.
