Befores & Afters

January 17, 2009

Even though I just posted a new blog, Chris just finished editing a few images from his session from today, and I HAVE to post them! I am also including another recent session he did. They both came in for the “Star for a Day” treatment to get done up and have a good time- like a star!! Not only is Chris amazing, but his stylist, Destiny, is phenomenal! Here are some befores and afters:

Between regular sessions and mini-shoots for 2010 seniors who have been chosen to be reps, Chris has been one busy guy! Though I have not updated the blog with each session, here is a little collection of some of the most recent reps. 2010 seniors can get a discount card for any of the reps to use for their own senior portraits. If you are interested in being a rep, contact the studio either by phone or email to see if your school is in need of a rep!

Sawicki Studios (specifically children’s portraiture by Jennifer) will be participating in the National Charity Model Search to select “America’s Cutest Kid” and to raise funds for charity.

We’re looking for cute children ages 18 months to 14 years old to model for a portrait to be entered into the contest.

Models Search Special:
$30 entrance fee, which includes a 20 minute model session and one image submitted to the national gallery. So far the available dates are January 16, 30 and 31 and February 6, 13, 20, 21, 27, 28. Update:  Most of the spots are filled (as expected!) but I can squeeze a few more in. Sessions need to be done by March 1st.

Finalists will be determined by online votes. Anyone may vote. Each vote is $1, and all proceeds from votes benefit the non-profit Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. (NILMDTS.org) Grand prize national winner will be determined from the 50 city finalists. Winners selected by photography and modeling industry experts. If your child is selected the national winner, you’ll receive many prizes, including a $5,000 US Savings Bond and a Canon PowerShot G10 digital camera.

If you’re interested in entering your child(ren), please call the studio at 518-843-0190 or by email at info@sawickistudios.com. For more information about the contest, go online to www.sandypucmodels.com.

Our first wedding of 2009! It was really cold out- and very windy! Since all the destinations of the day were in Amsterdam, we went to our Studio to do many of the shots.
