MODEL CALL

I am currently looking to expand my portfolio in the area of maternity and newborn images.

Models will receive compensation for their time in the form of an 11x14 finished print from their session.

Maternity photos are best done in the 7th month of pregnancy--far enough along to have a nice baby bump, but not so far that you are getting terribly uncomfortable.

Newborn sessions are best done in the first 10 days, while baby is still curling up and sleeping a lot.

If you are interested in being a model for either maternity or newborn sessions, please email me at barbie@barbieschwartz.com, or visit the contact page of my website.

Molleigh + Aleah

Had fun this morning with my BFF Rebekah Pope, photographing her daughter Aleah, and Aleah's BFF Molleigh. We took the girls down to Edgehill Village and had a great time. Aleah has the most gorgeous eyes and lips! And Molleigh has such pretty eyes and a great smile. Makes me miss my daughter--and favorite model-- even more. Had some fun with vintage processing and textures on a few of these.

Emmy

Just who could resist this face? Little Emmy looks so Irish with her reddish curls and her green eyes. How stinkin' cute is she?

If you wondered why I haven't gotten back to everyone...

I've been in Ireland! I had a fantastic time, fell in love with Ireland, and can't wait to go back. I took nearly 2,000 photographs, so there's no way I can share them all. But here's a bunch--I hope you enjoy them! If you have any questions about any of them, just leave a comment and I will respond.

Now, I am trying to get caught up on everything in my voicemail and my email while I was gone. For some reason, my iphone would NOT work over there, and I couldn't get to my phone, email, or voicemail the entire time I was gone. Please be patient, and I will get back to you.


















A message to all Lifestyle Images clients or potential clients

Just wanted to let you know that if you are waiting for returned phone calls, emails, or galleries to be loaded, we are working on it. We apologize for the delays. After being out of town on vacation for more than a week, and then having to go out of town again for several days, we are still trying to get caught up on everything. We appreciate your patience. Thank you!

Giving Is Awesome!

Back in December, I participated in the Giving Is Awesome Project. People nominated families to receive the gift of custom portraits from Lifestyle Images. The Foriest family received one of these gifts. Their story was on our local news when it happened--their house burned down and they lost everything. Mom and all ten kids were in the house at the time the fire started, but miraculously escaped unharmed.

This was a big challenge for me, since I don't do a lot of big families. But it was fun, and the kids were great! Kudos to mom and dad for raising such well-behaved children! Anytime you take ten kids ranging in age from 13 down to 8 months out in public, it's got to be a challenge, right?



Here's a sneak preview from the session last night. Enjoy!

Rob & Talli are just as nice and fun as Andy & Marianne, and we had a great time creating some fun family photos for them. Here's a sneak preview, including some of Rees & Emme, Andy & Marianne's adorable kids. Love you guys!
