Introducing... the Brand Spankin' New Campaign

What is the Brand Spankin' New Campaign you ask? Well here's the scoop: I'm looking for sweet little newborns to add to my portfolio. So I'm offering a deal for the first three newborn sessions that are booked following this post. Read on carefully though - there are criteria that have to be met...

Criteria:
* You must be due on or before April 1, 2008
* You must be willing to do the session within the first two weeks following the baby's birth
* You must be willing to sign a minor model release (allows me to use the images in my portfolio and on my website)
* All sessions will take place on weekends
* All sessions will take place on-location (typically at your home) in the metro New Orleans area
* All sessions must be completed by April 30, 2008

You get:
* My session fee WAIVED
* One FREE 8x10 of your choice
* 30% off a la carte print prices

If you're interested and you meet the criteria, email me at amydrouet@yahoo .com for a full price list and be sure to put Brand Spankin' New Campaign in the subject line. And be sure to check out my website for samples of my work.

Dylan is ready for the big game!

Here's my Pats fan.... go Pats!

Triplets!

I'm sad to confess that I've been a very, very bad blogger. It's been 2 months since my last post. Ooops! That means that there's lots of cute faces I need to catch up on here. (Will you forgive me if I tell you that I'm pregnant? The exhaustion is killing me!) But I had an unusual session at the beginning of January and I've had several requests to share it here. Why was it unusual? Well if you read the title of this post, you already know! It was three sweet, darling, (and not-at-all-sleepy when I wanted them to be) boys. :) So without further blathering on my part, here they are:

What could be sweeter than three boys in a basket?

I think he's sticking his tongue out at me!

"Aaaah, I finally got bro #3 out of here so I can get comfy."

(sigh) Wide awake...

Still wide awake...
"Is she done yet? Now, I'm sleepy."
THIRTY toes!!!

As a side note, you'll notice that all of the ones I posted here are black and white. Very unusual for me... I'm usually more of a color girl. But there's just something about newborns that begs for the classic feel of black and white. Don't you agree?

2008 is Coming!

Well, 2007 is drawing to a close and preparations for 2008 have begun. I only have a few session slots still available in December so if you're interested in squeezing in a session before the end of the year, be sure to book it soon. In 2008 all sorts of new developments will be coming down the pike... new products, a new information package, web site updates, and alas, new prices. I'm finalizing my 2008 packages and prices as we speak and they will be available for anyone interested in 2008 dates soon. I want to thank all of my 2007 clients - it's been a pleasure to capture your children and families. I hope to see you again in 2008!

Holiday Cards

Okay, I know most of us aren't ready to think about those December holidays yet. BUT... I do want to let you know that I am offering photo holiday cards this year. So, if you had a session with me earlier this year and would like to use the photos for holiday cards, please let me know as soon as possible. I'd be happy to send you pricing and a link to the samples gallery. Remember... it takes about a week to get the photo cards from the lab and you'll want time to get them out in the mail so there's really not a lot of time to waste if you are interested. Here are a few examples of the designs I'm offering this year:

We're back!

We had a fabulous two weeks in Italy, but it's nice to be back too. I've been derelict in my blogging I'm afraid. I have lots of cuties to get up here! But it will have to wait until I get caught up on my proofing, I'm afraid. In the meantime, here's a quick picture from Italy. The quality isn't great (holy shadows batman!), but never the less, that's my Dylbaby with the Leaning Tower of Pisa behind him. How freaking cool is that? :D

It's alive!

My website that is. There are still a few typos, etc., that I have to straighten out, but check it out: http://www.amydrouetphotography.com/. And let me know what you think!

How does your garden grow?

Here's little Raegan. You may remember her from her 4-month session back in July. Here are a few pictures from her 6-month session.

Canvas

I finally got a canvas for myself. Woohoo. Isn't it pretty? I love it.

Side view:

Cheeky Monkey!

Kevin and I got Dylan his Halloween costume the other day. Isn't this the cutest monkey you've ever seen? ;)

(please excuse the inconsistent colors - I was in a hurry! :))
