Cutest Couple

Okay, so I need more models other than my 3 sweet children (and the 4 other children I've selected recently for modeling purposes) to help me get my business going and showcase what I can do with a camera. Therefore, I've decided to have a Cutest Couple Contest! Here is all the info you need to participate!

1. Send me a recent photo of you and your sweetheart to: aprilswancey@hotmail.com

2. Be sure to include a short story about you and your sweetheart and why you think you guys should win.

3. Make sure to include your full name, mailing address and phone number in the email (this information will NOT be published on the album, it is just needed in case you win!)

4. Photos will be uploaded to my "Cutest Couple Photo Contest" album on April Swancey Photography's Facebook page. (http://www.facebook.com/AprilSwanceyPhotography?fref=ts).

5. Deadline to submit photos is January 31 at midnight. Photo with the most likes wins.

PRIZE:

Winner of the contest will win a free photo session with 15 poses, CD with printing permission, (1) 8x10, (2) 5x7, (12) wallets of your choice.

Good luck!

My Favorite Shots of 2012

So even though I waited to the very latter part of this year to dive head first into this photography thing, I did manage to capture what I think were some pretty awesome shots.

With that being said please bear with me. I am still new to this, and everyday I learn something new whether it be new lighting ideas, flash settings, poses or whatever, I'm learning, I'm mastering my art, and I couldn't be more excited about it all.

Thank you so much for all the support you've given me. From the sweet family that was my very first clients, to those of you who've agreed to let me use your kids as models, to the ones who have allowed me to photograph your wedding (and bridal and engagement session), and even those of you who pushed to create a Facebook page, put my name out there or just the ones who have told me I can do this and supported me 100%.

To my family, friends and those of you that I call my second family, thank you. You guys have been so amazingly supportive not only this year but for many years. It is because of you guys that I finally built up enough confidence in myself to make the jump and go at this full speed ahead.

I'm so thrilled about what the new year is going to bring. It is going to be awesome. Stay tuned, spread the word and check out my favorite shots below!

Photo of the Week

I captured this photo yesterday. I've always loved photos of raindrops on glass. Yesterday was a rainy day (as is today) so I took the chance to capture my own rainy day photo.

 

 

The Harper Family

Last weekend, I took the Harper family's annual Christmas portraits. I've known the Harper's for about a year now, so I was excited to have the chance to photograph their beautiful family. I have to say the photos turned out great!

 

We took the photos at Bonita. It was a beautiful Sunny day and the temps were nice.

 

 

Beautiful Family!

 

Even though little Miss Callie tried to give us trouble, I managed to capture a few smiles! This is one of my favorites!

 

I truly enjoyed photographing this family! Hope they'll give me the chance to do it again!
