Nicole and Rascal were my first clients for the annual My Pup and Me mini sessions. Together with Nicole and the other wonderful people who booked, we raised over $100 to help sponsor spay and neuters for the Sullivan County Humane Society! This is very exciting and such a great accomplishment! Can’t wait for next year!
Tracy is another local photographer here in Kingsport. She runs Daisy Smiles Photography and is a huge inspiration of mine! When she contacted me to model for my upcoming My Pup and Me sessions and let me know her and Bella’s story, I couldn’t resist. Bella is such a special dog with a strong will to live, and her momma is just as special for helping her through a rough time. I’m so honored to have been able to capture these images for them and I hope they will be cherished for years to come.
I had a model call for my mini sessions coming up in August and Eli and his Great Dane, Max made the modeling cut! However, his new brother Sean got to join us! The more the merrier I say. I think they really like Max. 🙂
I wanted to fill my blog people in on a little thing I’m putting together for the first weekend in August. I’m starting to take bookings for My Pup and Me Mini Sessions for August 2nd and 3rd. Here are the details:
If you book with me before Friday, your 8″x10″ will be upgraded to an 11″x14″! This is a great value and it is helping a very important cause for our community. If you are interested in booking, there is a 25% retainer fee due to hold your date and time slot! Email lakynhayesphoto@gmail.com or message me on Facebook to book!
I’m looking for newborn models that will be born in late September! These modeling sessions will take place in October in my studio. I need these models to represent the new branding of my newborn sessions. These sessions are going to be fully styled to represent my new branding of “Pure. Vibrant. Timeless”. Forget sessions that date your images. These sessions will feature soft, vibrant colors and natural, handmade props. If you know about newborn sessions, you know that getting a free one is hard to come by! Here’s how you can apply for your baby to be a newborn model.
1) I’m looking for one baby girl and one baby boy.
2) Must be due in late September.
3) Must be willing to travel to my studio in the Kingsport, TN area.
4) Must be willing to pose with baby for at least one photo.5) Babies must be less than 14 days old on October 4th.
Please email lakynhayesphoto@gmail.com to express your interest in your baby becoming a model. Please include your name, the babies name, your due date, and why you think you’d be a good fit for this new adventure. If you are selected you will receive your maternity session for 50% off!
