Our ducks are now about a week old, and the in-studio garden scene–complete with pond–is built . . . so it must be time for Easter Portraits! We gladly brought in a professional Duck-Handler for her portraits. We’ve been creating Holland’s portraits since she was only slightly larger than the ducks themselves.

Holland kindly brought several (!) different changes of clothes. If you’re wondering how to dress your kids for portraits, here are some great examples of formal clothing. [The parasol is ours. If you love it, remind me when you arrive–I’ll have it handy.]

Here’s another example with casual wear.

Personally, I love the look of either, and the scene accommodates either formal or casual. I’ll have a stack of towels on hand, but if you think about it, bring one. Between kids and ducks, I’m expecting a few splashes. One other random note: Ducks poo-poo! We’ll be rotating ducks for feeding and photographing, but be aware that accidents happen [we all had plenty of accidents at a week old], and we can’t be responsible for a dry cleaner’s fee.

[It’s great being a Photographer–I just blogged about the hazards of duck poo!]

One final note: I have never seen anything like this! We have scheduled more appointments than we’ve ever seen for a Quick Pic! We are afraid that we may run out of available appointments at the studio. Our other locations in Hot Springs and North Little Rock are also filling up. If you haven’t scheduled yet, or have a friend who needs to schedule, contact us immediately! Call or email and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible [the phone did not lay silent for even 10 minutes yesterday]. Check out the “Promotions” tab for pricing, dates, and to pay your reservation fee. If you’ve never been to a Quick Pic, scroll down in this blog to read about the process [it’s a fun, crazy week].

A few days ago you read about Troubled Tim, the duckling who fell into the wrong crowd (&*^%$#@ guineas!), then ended up in the back of a police car. Yes, the story ended sadly, but there is hope on the horizon! Check back tomorrow to see how the love of Bev turned his life around. Soon thereafter, you’ll hear the classic children’s story of the “Not-As-Attractive-As-The-Other-Ducklings, Duckling.” Finally, you’ll see the beautiful, crazy love tale of Little Liz and Trey. Subscribe to the blog so you’ll always know what’s new.

See you soon!
