Proud momma

Yesterday I got super excited to have a little photo shoot with Abigail. Well, throw out any expectations for a photo shoot with a one year old.
It actually started out with abigail wearing a dress my mom sewed for me as a toddler. But, she did not like it at all! So, we got down to a diaper really fast, but I was able to slip on a tutu and a bow and capture this sweet shot you see first.
My baby girl is approaching 18 months, I can not believe it! She just keeps getting longer and blonder.

Cute story…last night I heard Abigail talk in her sleep. She said, “momma”. I love my life.

I give God the glory for the talent he has given me. Amen.

Vintage Bridal Session

I’m really wanting to make a statement with my photography, so I went a different route with this bridal session. Considering I asked sweet Bethany to be my model and it was strictly for my portfolio I was able to do whatever I wanted and did not have to worry about pleasing my bride. I was still nervous though, because I really wanted this shoot to be a, WOW! Also, I may have a huge opportunity to do some promotional work in Chicago. So, I wanted to give the owner something new and fresh to look at.
I will have to say, I had a blast and would love to shoot more sessions like this. I will have to say, I am not your typical traditional photographer.

I know I’ve already got a lot of feedback on this shoot on my fan page, but I would still love to hear what others have to say about this shoot.
Just a FYI– my fan page on facebook is Anna Pociask Photography and I am on twitter @annapociask.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Model for a boudoir session

Dallas-Fort Worth ladies–
I have recently started offering boudoir sessions, but the thing is, I do not have any sessions of this sort in my portfolio. I am curious if someone has had one and would like to have another one done for free. I basically just need to build up my portfolio. Please read the post before this to understand my regulations for these type of sessions.
I want to start offering this to my brides, wives to give gifts for valentines and birthdays.
If your not familiar with my work, check out my website. http://www.annapociaskphotography.com

So, basically, I am asking for a model, or maybe a few models. Thanks!!

Explanation for the Valentine sessions…..

I feel as if I need to explain my Valentine session offer. I really hope some people did not get the wrong idea. So, I want to clarify some things.

1. This is only offered to girls that are married, and their images will be protected on a private web gallery only available to whoever they want to see.
2. I do not take pictures of women naked.
3. I am offering this to ladies that are married because I think all women like to feel sexy for their husbands, and what better way to give a gift to your hubby.
4. I will not advertise these photos due to not wanting any man or woman to stumble/sin while looking at these photos. If I do post pictures they will not be anymore revealing than some wedding dresses reveal; cleavage, and a swimsuit would show.
5. If anyone ever wants to see this work, they will have to ask to see it in my private web portfolio that has been given permission from women that gave me the okay to show.
6. These pictures will specifically be fun, classy, and showing some skin. But, hear me out, this is NO WHERE CLOSE to being soft porn.

Lastly, most importantly…all work I do is to be glorifying to God. That is why I strictly only do this with all the regulations I listed above.

Blessings,
Anna

We have a winner!!

There was a pretty close race through out the competition, but Zahra, one of my senior sessions was always in the lead. Then, these past two days one of my favorite couples took the lead! I have always been crazy about this shot, this couple, this setting! Congrats to you and Sara. I will get your 8×10 to you soon!
Thanks to everyone that played along and voted!

I had a lot of fun doing this, and plan to host more competitions like this in the future.

Vote!

I have seen a lot of other photographers doing this and thought it looked like fun. So–this is what I need from you!
Vote for your favorite image once, and you can come back tomorrow and vote for that same person if you like. Whoever wins will receive an 8×10 print of the image that is displayed on this post. So–email and post on your facebook page to come vote for their favorite image. Have fun! This is only going on until January 10th.

Sidenote–it was hard for me to post some of these images because I started picking apart how I would edit some of these images differently. Oh well…next year!

A Christmas Wedding

So it is 1:00 in the morning and I am not feeling to clever when it comes to writing on each image. I hope my work speaks for itself. I was a second shooter for this wedding, so I was able to relax and capture a lot of fun shots. I think being a second shooter is so much less stressful. This wedding took place in Arlington Texas and ended in a mansion over in Dallas Texas.

Let me know what you think! That means…leave comments.

They did not mess around when it came to make-up!

This house was perfect for capturing classy shots. I love the framing of this shot.

Doesn’t the puppy look so pitiful…he was sad to see her go. Notice the dress in the background.

This ring has much history behind it. This was the brides grandmother’s ring.
First time for daddy to see his daughter once dressed…such a precious moment.

Journal

If you want to read what I have to say….I have a journal now. This blog is for my photography business. Thanks!
