Five Pretty Princesses | Atlanta Children’s Photographer

Monday, May 17, 2010 12:47 pm

I recently met five darling princesses and I thought you might like to meet them, too. Though rain clouds loomed and thunder grumbled in the distance, we seemed to be under a magical umbrella for our Fairytale Portrait sessions! We experienced only one very brief rain shower as we wrapped up one session and were preparing for the next. And then, as if erased by our Fairy Godmother’s wand, the rain disappeared and the sunlight came through! I have heard that it poured that night in other parts of Atlanta, so it seems we were truly under a magical spell.

I’ve only just begun editing these sessions, so I only have a few to share so far. But I know the moms and dads are so anxious for a sneak peek! All of our little royal children did a beautiful job at their sessions. I hope they loved their time spent in their own personal Fairytale.

A special thanks to Heather Lickliter of Stylized Portraiture in Athens, Georgia for sharing her incredible princess gowns and joining us for these special sessions. It was a ball!

Much love,
Shannon

Thank You | Atlanta Child and Family Photographer

Wednesday, August 12, 2009 10:46 pm

I didn’t know what to expect from this holiday season. The months of September and October are generally the busiest months of the year for a portrait photographer, and I work around the clock, it seems, during those months. But I wondered, with the state of our economy and this shaky time for our country, if this year would be different. And so, more than ever, I have been truly amazed and grateful for the flurry of calls and emails I’ve gotten in these last couple of weeks. Just today I posted an update on my Facebook page that I only had a few openings left, and my inbox was full in no time. Wow! And so I must say thank you … Thank you for the opportunity to capture these moments in your lives. Thank you for the investment you choose to make in my art. Thank you for your enthusiasm and for helping my business grow as you have in these recent years.

As of tonight, my holiday session schedule is fully booked for the remainder of 2009. I have saved room, as always, for newborn clients.

**If you and I are already in dialogue about your session but have not yet chosen a date, please know I have saved a tentative spot for you on my schedule, so don’t panic! I will hold these tentative places for approximately one more week to give us time to plan your session. But please let me know your chosen date as soon as possible!! If you are interested in a holiday portrait session, I invite you to still contact me, as I will be keeping a waiting list in the event of schedule changes or cancellations (but I cannot guarantee an opening will become available).

A reminder for those of you currently scheduled for sessions … The holiday order deadline for this year will be November 15. Please plan accordingly!

Thank you again! I think I have the best clients in town. Blessings to all of you!
Shannon

Sunset Sessions | Atlanta Children’s Photographer

Wednesday, April 8, 2009 11:27 pm

Hi Friends!

It’s been such a great week, having a little time off work to play with my kids during Spring Break. Tonight I relaxed with my hubby in the backyard while the kids scampered about. And then it hit me … that itch to have my camera in hand. I can hardly go more than a few days without the urge to photograph something.

You see, it was the yummy, yummy light! About 6:00 in the evening, with the warm Spring light filtering through the trees, reflecting off every blade of grass, every curl in my daughter’s hair. I just can’t resist the photography opportunity! I’m such a sucker for backlight.

So it triggered not just my photography craving, but an idea … I’m thinking about offering a special price on Sunset Sessions for a limited time. The sessions would take place around 6:00 in the evening, in the Roswell or Alpharetta area at a location of my suggestion, and would likely be limited in the number of subjects. First, I’d like to see what kind of interest is out there … so drop me a line, ok? You don’t have to commit. Just let me know if you love the idea and would consider a reservation. Once I see what kind of response I get, I’ll nail down the details on price and dates to be offered.

And yes, I gave into the craving tonight. I grabbed the pettiskirt, which conveniently matched the crocs she refused to take off her feet, and captured some of the exuberant toddlerhood in that delicious light. Gee, my girl doesn’t like being the center of attention, do you think?

Facebook

Tuesday, February 10, 2009 9:25 am

I’m here to publicly admit that I am completely addicted to Facebook. I have so little free time in my life, so Facebook actually fits quite well … I can check in for 30 seconds here, 7205 seconds there, on my notebook while I’m watching “Heroes”, or on my iPhone while sitting in the carpool line at school. I’ve reconnected with long lost but fondly remembered friends from my high school and college days, and I’ve learned new, fun tidbits about the friends in my life today. I even have many clients on my Friends list, and I love that Facebook offers us a new way to get to know each other better.

Are you addicted like me? Let me know! You can even find Shannon Holden Photography on Facebook! I’d be tickled pink to see the SHP fan list grow!

P.S. I’m 29 hours into my Twitter addiction as well.
