MOTHER'S DAY PORTRAIT SPECIAL - 2012

Three cheers to moms everywhere!  It's time to celebrate the lovely mothers in your life.  Whether it's your own mom, your wife, your grandmother, or just your favorite mom in the world, why not spoil her with a Mother's Day Portrait Special by Kelly Fitzgerald Photography!  That's right, celebrate Mother's Day this year by scheduling a custom family portrait session.  Photos make a great gift and are guaranteed to be the most favorite gift she'll receive and they will last longer than a bouquet of flowers!

I specialize in environmental portraiture and the use of natural light.  What is that you ask?  Well, here is how it works.  You pick a location... it could be someplace fun like the beach or a park.  It could be downtown, with an urban setting.  All are great locations.  It can also be a special family spot.  Don't be afraid to think outside the box.

Mother's Day photo sessions can be used by individuals, couples, kids or families of up to 4 people.  Additional people and/or pets are $25 each.  Weekday photo sessions are available as well as weekends, but they always fill up fast, so schedule today!  Offer ends May 31st, though the photography session can fall between May 1st through June 30th, 2012.

Give mom the perfect gift ... a photo of you or the entire family!

Cheers!

I found out today that the image I took of the product "Chicken Crack", along with the label design by Drop Dead Design won New Product of the Year Award!  I started photographing products for Treats for Chickens last year and they have been such a great client.  Their products are of the highest quality and I highly recommend them for your pet chickens.

THE RIMER PHOTO SESSION

Hi everyone!  Meet Real Estate Agent Sandra Rimer.  Sandra wanted professional environmental type corporate images for her business, yet did not want the stiff and unnatural look that you can get sometimes in the studio.  I was thrilled to work with Sandra and happy she was willing to do something different and think outside the box for her promotional images.

Here are some of my favorites from her photo session.  Enjoy!

THE CUNDARI FAMILY PHOTO SESSION

Hi everybody!  Meet the Cundari family!  We recently met up at Coronado Beach on the day of their little girl's 1st birthday.  Though it was a little chilly and windy that day it did not damper the good time we had during the photo session.  The sunset was so beautiful that day!

Here are just some of my favorites from their photo session.  Enjoy!

THE BURKHARDT FAMILY PHOTO SESSION

Hi everyone!  Meet the Burkhardt family!  Such a fun family!  For the location, they wanted a park like setting mixed with old architecture, so we decided on beautiful Presido Park in Old Town.  I also took some senior portraits of their son that day.  The family also has this tradition where they take these "wide mouth" type shots and put them on their cell phones and on facebook.  The one boy is always in the background.  So they asked me to incorporate a few of these types of images in their portrait session.  It is hilarious!

Here are just some of my favorites from their photo session.  Enjoy!
