I Love Taking Pictures

Okay let me rephrase that... I like taking pictures. I love capturing a moment, an emotion, the real person, telling the story of a moment in time for everyone to see. I love the look on my client's face when we've finished a shoot that has been more fun than work, the glow they get from having such a good time and the anticipation that dances in their eyes as they wonder if I captured what they want to be. And the look of utter delight when they realize that I did indeed capture their spirit and they look more amazing then they ever imagined. Yes, I like taking pictures. But I love being part of the beauty and love that is life and capturing it for all the world to see.

{showcase}

I wanted to share with you the amazing way my friend Tiffany is showcasing her kids' portrait from our holiday session. When you walk into her house this is what you see. (I'm going to sneak in and take a picture of it hanging... it looks even better.)

I love gallery wrapped canvas... so simple and so beautiful. Stretched over a thick wooden frame and ready to hang there is no fuss-no muss with a wrapped canvas. But the impact is amazing.
I love the texture of this canvas. I think it fits the textures and action in the picture.


This canvas measures 30 inches across and is 44 inches tall. When it comes to Canvas bigger is always better. Tiff - You have amazing taste!

"V" is for Very Pretty!

Ms. Victoria is very photogenic and a natural in front of the camera. She wanted some non-traditional pictures so we ventured out to Ft. Desoto... there are so many amazing places to shoot. I think you'll agree it was time well spent.









Thanks for a great morning!

If you're looking for some non-traditional pictures... something that highlights your personality give me a call or drop me an email.

Colorful Confusion

I'll give you one guess who dressed herself...
I posted the cutest ever picture of my kids from Christmas morning here. Lu-Lu jumped up into her brother's arms and gave him a big thank you hug for the awesome princess pencil bag and eraser he gave her. (And picked out all by himself I should add.) She was really into Christmas this year and was constantly singing Christmas carols. Santa Clause is Coming to Town and I Want to Wish You a Merry Christmas were two of her favorites.

But our holidays wouldn't have been complete with out Lu-Lu's award-winning holiday performance at her preschool... her Jewish preschool where she sang about lighting the Menorah on Hanukkah.... all the while dressed like Pippy Longstocking. Bless her little heart.

Please make note of the Princess necklace around her neck. It's made up of pearls and a blue shoe that says "I'm Cinderella." when you push it.
I think she is the most perfectest princess I have ever seen.

Ft Desoto

So I met some of my awesome "friends" at Ft Desoto this morning and we had a blast exploring the fort and the pier. They spent most of the time laughing... at each other and at me... which I didn't mind cuz as you can see it made for some super cute pictures. They said they wanted their pictures to look different from your normal "wegottogetherandposedforsomepictures" pictures. Well Amanda and Michael... here's a little different.

Ooh La La!


Love is in the Air!

And it's sizzling hot!

A boudoir marathon has been planned for Saturday January 17th & Sunday January 18, 2009. The specific locations are under wraps until you book your session - then the details will be released. I've sent out an email to all previous inquirers to get a head start on booking, and I’ve booked up several spots already.


These spots are going to go FAST, and when they’re gone, they’re gone! I won’t be having another marathon until this summer, so you definitely want to get in on this one because it’s just in time for VALENTINE’S DAY GIFTS.


So whether you are looking for something soft and sexy or something a little racy there’s nothing better than seeing their reaction when they open your extra special gift!

I have put together several packages and will have someone on location to help you get ready and look your best. To find out more information, or to book your session, please shoot me an email at elise@eliseschreiner.com. Once you decide on your package, you’ll receive an invoice for half down to reserve your session Once that’s completed, more details will be given, and a welcome letter will be sent in the week prior to the event, to let you know what to expect!

Don’t miss this chance! So many people missed out on the last marathon because they waited too late! I’m adding a free 8×10 art print if you book before Wednesday, January 7th.
