Fall Mini Sessions

I am excited to announce Fall Mini Sessions. This will be the only mini session event I will hold all year. Since my focus has mainly been seniors this summer and fall, I have had to turn away so many family sessions. I think its so important to document your family each year!

Read more below the image!

While these sessions are smaller, and more compact then my normal sessions, I will not be skimping on the setting, style, and experience. Bring your props, creatives ideas, and I will be there to help stylizes sessions. I'll bring some fun new props as well! (read: large frame, wooden letters, etc.)

Slots will fill up fast so please email me at bethany@bethanyhailephotography.com  to reserve your time. Package reservation fee is due at the time of booking (via check or paypal), and additional images and products will be available to purchase once proofs are sent out. 

Each session will include 15-20 minutes on location in an urban setting in downtown Albany, OR, a disc with 5 images with copyright release and the possibility to purchase more images, digital cards (for e-mailing, posting to Facebook, or printing) and a new item this year, a calendar with your photo on it. 

Wondering what to wear? Check out this post and the images below!

Baby Girl~ 3 Months Old

This sweet baby girl is already three months old. We took some sweet sister pictures and also some super cute family portraits as well. Believe it or not, we just used their gorgeous backyard. It had everything we needed for some oh so cute and fall-ish backgrounds!

Fall Family Session

I love fall! I get to drive past this gorgeous grove of trees every day! I was excited to do this session here and this cute family just finished it off...Mrs. T. is one of my daughters kindergarten teachers and she absolutely adores her. (She was pretty disappointed that I wouldn't let her come with me!)

South Albany High School Senior Session

I loved meeting with Whitney and her mom...we had an evening session with some absolutely gorgeous sunlight! Whitney and her mom are both so fun, we got some really cute shots! *Even in the middle of the road!

Leanna Class of 2010~ Milwaukie High School

We took our chances on Friday for this session and with a gorgeous morning and afternoon I thought we had it made, but not 20 minutes into the session it started raining on us! That made things interesting for sure! But we still got some great shots! (Check out the raindrops on the water...) Leanna was fun to shoot, and ready to try any pose. She is a natural in front of the camera even when she wasn't sure what to do. And she has gorgeous big brown eyes! I loved working with her. Thanks for being so patient Leanna, I know you have been waiting to see some images from your session!

Still more to come...

Busy-ness

Wow, the soccer season is here and we are in full swing! All three of our girls are playing this year, on three different teams! It has been fun, but a bit crazy over the past few weeks. On top of that we had a group of guys from our church come help us put a new roof on our house, and if that wasn't enough I picked up some free paint, borrowed my dads paint sprayer and have been painting the exterior of our house! So...I have been keeping quite busy. I have a fun senior session coming up and I am excited to get back to my photography after all the distractions lately! That isn't to say I haven't been taking pictures though...

Don't throw tomatoes....but I LOVE this cool fall weather! I am even a little bit jealous of the snow they are getting on the East Coast! I can hardly believe that October is coming to a close! We have had a great Senior Portrait season and still have a few more to come!

I am offering my first Holiday Mini Session special and can't wait to get started!

I got a chance to finish the session with Tonya yesterday. Thanks for giving me a little more of your time! The pictures turned out so great! (Its amazing what daylight can do for your pictures!) I used a custom white balance (from a grey card) and I love the results. I don't plan to do much editing, maybe just some color fun! Here are a few that I am excited about!


The picture above is the same as the first one, only with natural color.

Look at her eyes in the picture below! (You might have to click on the picture to view it larger)

They look amazing!
