Little Joys Photo Contest: Part II

So we are now in the voting phase of the contest and all finalists are encouraged to invite their friends & family members to the Little Joys and More Children's Clothing Boutique, to place their vote in person with the cashier. All boutique customers will also be encouraged to participate in the voting system. Check out my website to see the new page that I added with all of the contest details and live photos posted for each and every finalist - http://www.athenascottphotography.com/. It has been an awesome experience working with the boutique and putting this whole contest together, I appreciate the opportunity and consider myself blessed. I absolutely loved photographing each and every child and I so look forward to photographing the winners. Good luck to all of my cute little finalists :)

Water Lily Girls

Here is a fun photo shoot that I did last weekend of two beautiful little girls at Okeeheelee Park in West Palm Beach, FL. We ran all over the park and photographed by the lake, on the grass, near the trees, at the playground - but the most exciting photos were captured in the water fountain (they played, splashed and giggled loudly), it was very fun and upbeat. This is what I love, photographing kids just being kids and having a good time (the first photo displays this nicely). I also love close up portraits of the face. Each shot of the two girls above really sums up their personality in a nut shell. The first child was happy-go-lucky & friendly, she had a tendency to "ham" it up for me so I wanted to display this photo of her pretty smile and beautiful curls; the second child was very serious & inquistive, she wasn't very interested in taking photos but when we started having fun she came out of her shell so I choose this photo because I love her serious expression here and her eyes have so much depth in them. I hope you enjoy these samples and please give me some feedback - send a quick lil' comment.

My Precious Baby

Okay it has been a while since I added some photos of my kids and so here is my baby. I already posted the photos of my son with our cat and my middle daughter (see in a previous post) and so I figured I'd do a special photo session for our littlest one. We did this shoot in our front yard and my little princess was so happy to have on her new spring dress, my wonderful hubby assisted me with these photos (for the lighting) and she laughed, smiled, and was serious. She is my little chatty cathy and loves to babble in her lil' baby language, she says many words too. She is 15 months and a very happy baby, she plays wonderfully with her big bro and sis. She just melts my heart with those lil' cheeks and her big heart - she is wildly affectionate & very independent. She plays cars with her bro & dolls with sis, but her favorite toy is the singing vacuum cleaner (gotta train them young).

Little Joys and More Photo Contest

The Finalists have been selected for the photo contest that Athena Scott Photography and Little Joys & More Children's Clothing Boutique (Wellington Mall) are hosting. We appreciate all of your participation and excitement towards the contest :) We are happy to do something that means so much to us and all of the people involved! We have already contacted all of the finalists and will be photographing them this Sunday, March 16th for headshots. The photos will then be put on display in the boutique and all store clients are encouraged to vote for their favorite child in each category. Two children in each category will win. Don't forget to invite your friends & family to participate in the vote as well!! We will have the photos on display for 2 weeks so that you have plenty of time to get to the mall! Stay tuned for more details from the upcoming "Finalist Photo Shoot" very soon...

* Remember this is for fun and all children are winners!

Lovely Little Flowers

MOUNTS BOTANICAL GARDEN, WPB, FL
Okay so I loaded up the minivan with all of the kiddies and we went on our way to the Botanical Garden (a beautiful lil' place that's overflowing with flowers and greenery) to explore and study plants. It was a beautiful sunny day and I had my camera in hand. I love flowers, as you already know from past blogs so I decided to do a little photo project with them. This place is absolutely beautiful, a perfect little getaway in West Palm Beach. I think this is an awesome location for some of my maternity or children's portraiture.

Life's Little Miracles

Maternity photography is one of my absolute favorite types of photography to shoot. It is such a beautiful experience to capture a true miracle inside of mommy's belly-from the outside. It brings back many wonderful memories of being pregnant myself and how it is true when they say that "pregnant women glow" because this client of mine was glowing and just beautiful. I had a wonderful time photographing her and her husband in many different creative ways. We got a chance to incorporate flowers into the shoot and as you can see above it worked well!! I am excited to meet their little princess who is expected to arrive in April :) I hope you enjoy these samples as much as I enjoyed photographing them!
