Alison Waring: Photography Graphic Design

Baby fever! I’ve been away and haven’t be able to post because of all the babies!! I love it (and so does Mr. Bacon).  As long as I have a steady stream of babies to shoot I’m less likely to want another of my own

Baby girl “L” here was a dream.  She slept just about the whole time and didn’t care how we posed or folded her.  I hope new mommy and daddy enjoy this sneak peak.

I heart back rolls *swoon*

XoXo,
Alison aka “Mrs. Bacon”

I had the ultimate pleasure of shooting baby girl twins! I love babies, especially newborns.  They smell so sweet make the cutest little grunts and don’t object too much to being dressed up.  These little cuties were only 2 weeks old and aahhhhhdorable! They’re already on the same schedule too, which made shooting a breeze.  We knew if one had to be change/fed/burped the other was minutes behind.  I hope the family enjoys these pics of their little princesses as much as I did shooting them.

The Princess(es) and the Pea(s)

Thank you everyone for voting! I had over 70 votes between Facebook and the blog- that was a lot of printing and cutting. All the votes were placed in a brown paper bag (super official), shaken vigorously and then birthday boy Baconbits pulled out a winner. Here it is-

Sherron•Posted January 15, 2010 at 5:40pm “C is a beautiful family!! And looks like the true meaning of valentine’s day!! Love is in the air!

So congrats to family “C” you’re the winner of 16×20 canvas. I’ll be contacting you to find out which image you liked printed. And the rest of the families don’t worry you’re winners too. I’ll have something special for you all :0) it’s a surprise so sorry you’ll have to wait.

The week before I ventured off to the Photographer’s Mecca I had a valentine mini shoot.  I’ve decided to have a little contest.  While I was in Nashville I won a 16×20 canvas.  I’m going to give it away to one of the Valentine Mini participants.  Here are the rules:

1. You may only vote ONCE on each network the pic is placed.  So that means you get ONE vote for commenting on the blog and ONE vote for commenting on Facebook.
2. The winner will be chosen randomly.  That means I print up the votes and have one of my precious children pull a letter out of a hat.
3. Voting starts immediately. So tell all your friends and family.  The winner will be picked on Jan. 20th

So y’all get to voting on which image you like best.  They are lettered (A, B, C you get the picture).  Please leave a letter comment i.e. OMGosh “A” is like the most awesome picture I’ve ever seen.  So on and so forth.  If you are not a friend on Facebook ask me & I’ll approve so you can vote.

The participants you are voting for *drumroll*

Vote for one: A, B, C, D or E

*The fine print.  No cash value.  May NOT be substituted.  Image must be from Alison Waring Photography.  16×20 Canvas must be redeemed by Jan. 31st.

I had the craziest week y’all! I attended Imaging USA in Nashville, TN.  It was chockfull of knowledge, vendors and FREEBIES.  I attended so many classes I swear you can smell my brain smoking from the knowledge overload.  I’m already planning to attend Imaging 2011 in San Antonio (Jan. 16-18 I think?).  If you are a photographer you should seriously consider going.  Also if you’re a member of the PPA you get awesome discounts.  Plus you’ll see me there, I know how could you miss that!?!  It’s also great to connect.  I met some old friends that I hadn’t seen in over a year and also made new friends.  I even stalked some of the big named photogs (see below).  There’s also some crazy iPhone pics in the mix.  It was a 10 hour drive. Cabin fever cannot be avoided.

Jeff Rodgers- he's not drunk in the middle of the day. Blinking? Maybe?

It's Becker. Please note his "Expo Only" badge.

How cute are the Boudoir Divas!?!

crazy short potty stalls, the map!, free coffee cozy from GP Albums

Last but not least one of the crazy photos I took with the ShakeItPhoto app on my iPhone.  I haz cabin fevah! You can see other craziness on my twitter if you don’t follow already. Muah xxoo Mrs. Bacon (aka Alison)

Mrs. Bacon *cabin fever*

I had the extreme pleasure of shooting “K”s family.  She won a gift certificate I donated to the Juvenile Diabetes  Research Foundation Gala Event.  I couldn’t have asked for nicer (and good looking to boot) family to win.  She had all her loved ones there parents, grandparents, and a super cute grandson.  I hope you enjoy this teensy little sneak peek.  Don’t worry the rest of your pics are on the way :0)

Ah the holidays are here…holy cow the holidays are here!?! Where oh where did the time go?  *sigh* It’s time to face it I’ve been ignoring it hoping it would go away.  I’m just not ready for Thanksgiving, my 31st 29th birthday (again) and then Christmas.  I have no idea what we’re going to do for our holiday cards.  Absolutely none.  Fortunately my clients are completely together and know what they want.  Take the “P” family lovers of the sand, sun and sea.  Me not so much.  I still had a bunch of fun of shooting them on the beach and I hope they enjoy this little sneak peek.

Had a shoot a couple of weeks ago.  I was lucky enough to have a friend let us use her farm.  No big deal right? WRONG she owns a Zebra! Cutest thing you ever did see.  Doesn’t matter how many times I see him it’s like meeting for the first time :0) Here’s a couple of pictures of the kids from that shoot.

His name is Zuka and he likes to give kisses

We then ventured to downtown historic Sanford.  It’s so beautiful down there.  I managed to snap a pic of my just turned 6 yr old.

I’ve been a bad bad photog blogger.  However, I’ve got some new things to make up for it.  I’m getting ready to change my logo and branding.  It’s gonna be super sweet.  So hopefully my next post will be about my brand spankin’ new logo.  Until then here some products I’m offering.  Picture this sweetness:

Some of my new packaging

The cold has finally broken and the toddler & I took a trip to Pappy’s U-Pick Strawberry Patch, located in Ovideo (you should totally go give them a call to see if the patch is open 407-366-8512).  It was a bunch of fun and only ended up costing me $5. Win/Win in my book!  Of course I did most of the picking while “A” practiced jumping over the rows of strawberries and threw sand.

We met up with another photographer and we tried to get pictures of our kids.  Please note they are photographer’s children so no smiles will be seen in the following images :0)
