One vibrant red umbrella. One cuddly stuffed animal. One pink toy radio.
Two "J's".
Colorful trinkets that reflect the hearts of two equally colorful kids, Jean Claire and James.
A late afternoon stroll through the park set the stage for our session -- warm sunlight streaming through the trees -- as we stopped along the way at a playground, lingered amongst cool, vibrant architecture and enjoyed the serenity of the greens.
It's funny. Sometimes, kids need a bit of patient encouragement to have their picture taken. But at age five, Jean was more than eager to light up the afternoon with her smile and welcome the camera. In fact, I was told Jean Claire was very much looking forward to our shoot, and, after reviewing the pictures, I think her enthusiasm shows! Jean Claire knew just how to flash her pearly whites, mug for the lens, and just have fun.
Joining Jean Claire were her lovely mom, Jessie (make that THREE "J's"), and Jean Claire's new baby brother, James Caleb. Literally wrapped in swaddling clothing, James was the picture perfect baby, peeking out from behind his robes now and then to see what we were all up to. James didn't have any problem smiling, either. He just seem to have a knack for cheesing while I was occupied with Jean Claire. Ha! Eventually, I was able to sneak up on James and capture him in all his grinning glory. Babies -- you gotta be fast!
Thanks for the great time Jessie, Jean Claire, and James. I hope you and your dad (Jose Conrad) enjoy the pictures! A slideshow is on the way with plenty more.
Happy New Year everyone! I've been busy on a few new exciting developments, plus experimenting with a couple of new camera toys -- so, I haven't had the chance to report much on the blog these past couple weeks. However, brand new work will be showcased here shortly! Keep checking in.
"Fireworks"
Have a safe and wonderful start to 2008!
It's hard to believe 2007 is nearing a close. So much has happened this past year with Stephen Grant Photography, and I'm very excited about all the new directions coming up in 2008. I want to thank family and friends, and Gian, in particular, for all of their support and motivation these past few months in getting things off the ground. I also wish to extend a special thanks to all of my clients -- for your patronage, good nature, compliments, and referrals. I really couldn't have asked for a better group of people to kick things off. And thanks to those who've made visits to my site, checked out the work, and come back for more. You're always welcome. Feel free to say hello.
In the coming weeks, Jean Claire's portrait session will be gracing the blog, and then we'll relax a touch for Christmas. If I've been good enough, Santa Baby just might be leaving me a few new camera toys. I look forward to working with some of you again in 2008, and welcoming a bunch of new faces as well! Here's a bit of my holiday graphic design for your enjoyment (click for larger view):

Happy Holidays!
Thinking about booking a portraiture sitting? Looking to order products from a previous session?
Photo shoots are fun, casual, and a great way to let loose. For a small slice of your afternoon, you'll come away with one of a kind images that last a lifetime. A few different portraiture packages are available, which vary in length of session, number of images delivered on CD, and inclusion of popular extras such as slideshows and prints. There's always room for customizing something special for your own needs, whether it be for yourself, children, adults, pets, family, product, business, event -- you name it, be creative. Anything goes (almost!). For pricing, package details, or to chat about what you have in mind, feel free to drop me an email, and I'll be glad to help you select and plan the perfect session just for you.
For those of you who have been wanting to buy merchandise, proofing galleries are available online for each session, making it easy to select your favorite images for printing. All photographs are professionally printed at a quality lab with top grade materials and vivid color. Sizes include 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, as well as many larger format prints and cool gallery wraps. If you have a favorite slideshow, consider purchasing it on DVD to enjoy on TV. All DVD slideshows and high resolution image CDs include custom artwork on both the disk and exterior packaging. Again, please email for pricing and ordering information, and we'll get you started.
As always, thanks for the interest.
One vibrant red umbrella. One cuddly stuffed animal. One pink toy radio.
