ELC Fundraiser

Ok, I have been seriously slacking on my blog!   It's time for an update.  We had our annual ELC fundraiser again on June 2nd.  We did 30 mini sessions (every 15 minutes) of families and children from the North Attleboro Early Learning Center.  This is the pre-school where my daughter currently goes and where my son also went.  The event was a huge success... Here are just a few of my favorites.  To see more go to the client section of my website and type 'ELC' for the password.

Stay tuned for a new contest - coming very soon!

Spring Contest Winner!

The winner is #4, cutie pie Quinn!  She was such a joy to photograph.  Here's another one from her session, she was this happy in just about every picture.  Thanks so much to everyone who voted.  It was a really close contest and we had 820 votes in total.  WOW!  I will be doing this again in a few months for sure.

Spring Mini Sessions

To celebrate spring, I'm offering 2 days of Spring Mini Sessions.  The dates are April 19th and 20th.  These will be 30 minute sessions indoors on a simple, fresh new setup I've been working on.  This will be similar to the types of portraits you are used to for my regular children's sessions.  So break out those spring outfits and come in for a Spring Mini Session.  This is also a great opportunity for the girls to try out the many tutu's I have in the studio now.  This special is open to babies and children.

Session Details:

• $125 session fee includes the session and an 11x14 portrait (a $100 value)
• Babies and Children only
• The first 10 people to schedule will also receive a complimentary mini 3x3 accordian album in a gorgeous spring color.
• 10% off individual prints and portrait collections

Call or email Kelli now to schedule your time.  This event will sell out.

And the WINNER is...

Arianna Jette is the grand prize winner of the Barker Beautiful Child Contest.  She was nominated by Deb Matthy, so they will both be receiving a $250 gift certificate.  Since it was a really close contest and I'm feeling very generous on this Valentines Day, I've decided to add second prize winner.  The second prize winner and the person nominating them will each receive  a $100 gift certificate.  The second place winner is Mia Froio who was nominated by Jodi Molloy.

I want to thank everyone so much for participating in the contest.  I was overwhelmed and humbled by how many entries I received.  The judges had a really difficult time choosing, every baby and child submitted was beautiful.

For my next contest you will get to be the judges!  I am planning on having frequent contests where I will pick some of my favorite portraits from recent sessions and people will be able to vote on their favorites.  This will be a lot of fun so stay tuned, the first one will be in March.

Happy Valentines Day!
