New Camera for Christmas?

I’m sure many of you received one of the latest and greatest cameras this year, and now you’re thinking . . . cool! Now . . . how do I use this thing? Digital cameras are getting easier to use all the time, but here a few tips to get the most out of your camera.

  1. Keep your new camera close by. If you want to catch your kids “in the moment,” the camera can’t be very far away. Find a secure place in your main living space that is easily accessible at a moment’s notice.
  2. Get close. If you want to capture the emotion on their faces, get close. If you’re too close, your camera will let you know by not allowing you take the picture.
  3. Limit distractions. I can’t tell you how many snapshots I’ve seen in which the subject, a tiny little child in the middle of a room full of distractions, is completely lost in a sea of other “subjects”. Again, get closer . . . can’t say this enough.
  4. And a little bonus tip: Read the manual! :-)

Taking a Short & Sweet to San Francisco’s Crissy Field.

August 27, 2009 – 11:58 am

Our September Short & Sweet was so hot, we booked solid already. So we’ve decided to tentatively open up a second Short & Sweet session in San Francisco at Crissy Field.  This is a great & very “California” location, with many of the images incorporating the Golden Gate bridge (weather cooperating, of course). We don’t think these sessions will be available long (see availability) . . . so don’t wait! Contact Brian today to secure yours: 408-221-4570 or brian@annamayer.com  See you in San Francisco!

*These sessions require an additional $20 travel charge & will be held only if a minimum of three clients book. If we are unable to fill the minimum, your session fee can either be refunded or transferred to another session option.

Milwaukee Welcomes Images by Anna

July 26, 2009 – 6:38 pm

After starting in San Jose and expanding to Minnesota, we have now officially launched our third market in the Milwaukee area!  We want to start things off by giving a big THANK YOU to Amber the store manager at the Starbucks on Silver Spring in Whitefish Bay for giving us wall space for our first local gallery.  During his research trips, this coffeeshop was Brian’s office, so he got to know some of the staff.  One day as he was chatting with the manager, he showed her this website, some of the photos, and a photo of one of our installed galleries, and just asked if she would ever want something like that hung up in her store;  she said, “Sure, I love to!”  It didn’t happen quite as fast as we had hoped, but now 4 months later, it’s up!  Here’s a not-so-good photo that Brian took of it with his little point & shoot.

We’ve had a lot of fun meeting people here in Glendale and Whitefish Bay, so to kick things off we are offering this extra special deal!  The first three clients to book a custom session will get it for only $100.  That is up to a $275 savings!  Email us from the contact page, or give Brian a call at 414-434-1940 to book your session today!

life. captured. Calling all cuties in Goggles!!

March 11, 2009 – 5:59 pm

No, not the behemoth search engine; GOGGLES! Those adorable things that squish ears and make little eyes all wonky. I am working on a personal project; kids in goggles. I hope to create a book, a web-gallery, maybe an art gallery and perhaps even get it published!! Now I just need some little faces and fun goggles.

Read below to find out how you can have your child photographed by Anna for FREE!

goggle project

How will work:

-You find a cute kid (well, you should already own said child, for legal reasons)

-You find some fun or unique goggles (the kind for swimming, snorkeling or flying B-52 bombers)

-You snap a photo of your child in these goggles (this can be a camera phone, a crappy point and shoot, whatever!)

-You use the contact form to apply to be included in the project.

-You also email a jpg of your child’s goggle shot to images@annamayer.com

-We decide your kid and your goggles are what we need for the project (no one will be turned away for being funny-lookin’, only if we’ve already captured the same age/sex and/or goggles).

-We set aside a time and place to meet to shoot a few images (This will take about 15 minutes).

-You sign a model release, allowing Anna to use the image for the project, for sale, etc. (kinda’ the whole point)

-We send you a link to see a handful of my favorites.

-You tell us which one you love. (well, love the MOST. You WILL love them all)

-We send you a full resolution file of that image (with our logo in the bottom corner)*

-We post some very silly shots of kids in goggles for all to enjoy!

*you are welcome to purchase more prints/images if you choose.

We are now making those negatives available to you in a most exciting way. Our new “Digital Collection” includes all of your session images as full resolution digital files (negatives) and 25 of your favorites as 8×10 prints (4×5 image on an 8×10 digital mat) with delightful titles in a amazing custom box with imprinting. These are simply gorgeous! Not only will you have these beautiful prints to enjoy in their lovely box, but you can frame, share and display them as well. You can even set up a sweet wall gallery and change out the images from time to time. It is an incredible value and a beautiful product we are sure you will be clamoring for. These are priced only as a set with discounts available with collection purchase. Visit our investment page for more details. This collection is available on any session from 2007 and on.* Isn’t it exciting!?
