Can we say DIMPLES??!!

YAY! I finally have dimples to add to my portfolio!! And even better...it is FIVE SETS OF THEM! Today I was lucky to finally photograph a gift certificate client with 4 children and a hubby...all with the best dimples you have ever seen! Unfortunately it was super wet so we didn't get to capture them in all their glory, but what cuties they were! AND SO WELL BEHAVED! Thanks Diana for a great session!! :) More to come!

Back in Action!!!

Okay, so I have been in pregnant holiday world, then baby world for the past 6months, now I am finally coming up for air! I will eventually find time to go back and upload a few from my many sessions from November to present, but will start with my session today!

I look forward to being back to work and meeting so many new families!! :)

I love my job!

Michelle, I am soooooooooo excited that we FINALLY did this session! It took over a year to get it done, but we finally did it! Your children were a breath of fresh air! So fun and cooperative and so very cute! Thanks for such a great session!! More to come!

Helmick Crew....

We managed to get the whole crew there for the photos and with the help of some Pez candy, got the boys to cooperate! Candy is my friend! :) Thanks for letting me photograph you for your parents special gift!

My first Studio Client!!

I finally opened my natural light studio in Vienna! These were my first group and were so very cute! Little man was a trooper and managed to cooperate with the big kids for this first cute shot!!! Thanks Katy for being my guinea pig in my new studio! More to come! :)

A Photo Challenge!!

This is one of my favorite repeat clients! Oh what a challenge today was! Between the 18month old melt downs and the thunderstorm rolling in, we still managed to get some cute shots!! Thanks Monique & Chris! It was GREAT to finally meet the kids!! :)

Daughter Love!

I experienced the wonderful love for a daughter today! Barb & Daniel just adore their sweet Danneke and it shows in everything they do with her! I just loved watching them together! Thank you all for allowing me to capture her cuteness and I hope to be able to photograph her again in the future!! :) :) :)

***PORTRAIT PARTIES!!!!!!

Okay, so I caught wind of a GREAT new idea in family photography...Portrait Parties! A good friend of mine, Reb, is doing them out in Wisconsin and they have been a HUGE success! So, I thought I'd give it try to see if there is any interest in good ol Virginia! :)

Here is how it works: Just like a Southern Living/Candle party, the host/hostess invites guests to participate in mini-photo sessions at his/her home or other location...and in return receives a print credit of 20% of total sales from the party. I will be happy to help you work out the details of your party, and will supply you with custom invitations. Guests receive a free mini-session, and in return will be required to purchase at least $75.00 in prints, which is due at the time of the mini session and held as a print credit towards their order.

Each mini-session will be about 20 minutes in length and is for up to four people. If a guest requires more than 30 minutes, or wishes to include more than four people in their session there will be a $50.00 fee.

I will bring a few backdrops to the party so the host need not worry about having the 'perfect' spot in their home. All I need is an average sized room with some good window light. Often I push the dining table out of the way and take advantage of patio/sliding glass doors. Or if the weather is nice, a shaded area in the yard for photos. In order to host a portrait party you must have at least 6 guests book mini sessions.

If you would like to host a party, please contact me at: cordeauphoto@gmail.com ! We can work out the details and explain how it works in more detail when I hear from you!! :)
