Hello PortraitBug friends, it’s been too long! All summer, we’ve been photographing sisters and brothers, individually and together. Below, are sweet and sassy Zoe and Hanah who came in earlier this week. Come on by while the sun is still shining to capture one of the closest relationships of all time: siblinghood.

Congratulations to our MommyBites Summit raffle winners!

We had such a blast last week meeting and talking with everyone. Thank you so much to BabyBites and KiddyBites for hosting such a wonderful event filled with food, drink, and lots of information.

Our prize winners were chosen at random by our own collage artist Shannon Clyne who will be making the custom framed artwork for our grand prize winner (value $150) won by Lauren Sek. Shannon dug her hand into the hat and picked both winners. We also congratulate Lauren Rubinstein, the winner of our LadyBug package (value $99) with a no sitting fee photo shoot. What are the odds, two Laurens.

If your name was not chosen, we are still awarding you a gift certificate (expires 8/31/2010) for a complimentary photo shoot and free 4×6 print. Why? Cause everyone loves swag and we love MommyBites! Click here to print your gift certificate.
Please note: you must use the email given for the raffle. All certificates will be checked against the raffle entry forms. This gift certificate is for raffle entrants ONLY.

So we are ALL about Valentine’s Day here. Here are two great outtakes from our photoshoot this morning.
