CONTEST EXTENDED!!!

Much like when Katrina happened, watching the news on the horrible situation in Haiti saddens and frustrates me. There are many incredibly brave men and women who are out there volunteering their time and risking their lives to help. I wish I was in a position and of strong enough constitution to do the same.

But I’m not.

So instead, I’m going to try to do something to help. But, I need you, too! Here’s the deal:

You or your loved ones could win a photo session!

• This session will be photographed by me and will be held the evening of Friday, February 19th or Saturday, February 20th.
• Session is for up to 2 adults or 2 children and will last between 1-2 hours.
• Winner will also receive 15 fully processed, high resolution images on CD. Print to your heart’s content!

How to win:

• Make a MINIMUM donation of $10 to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief Fund.
• Forward a copy of your receipt to tonihamelphotography@gmail.com.
• All entries must be RECEIVED by midnight (Central time) on February 9th.
• Winner will be drawn at random and announced on February 10th.
• This will give you over a week to shop and find a babysitter, if need be.
• You can enter as many times as you’d like, but each entry must be the minimum $10 donation.

Other details:

• Session participants must sign a model release.
• Session must be held in Madisonville/Mandeville/Covington Area on Feb. 19^th or Feb. 20^th.

with Mike Zito and Anders Osborne… 

I had the pleasure of photographing the production stills for the music video, “One Step at a Time” by Mike Zito and Andes Osborne.  Here a couple shots, to see the entire gallery, become a fan on facebook!

from Thursday.

We have been working with Heather of Goosie Girl for years now and her tutus and costumes are just wonderful!  Take a look at the sweet Sparkle Fairy and Frosty the Snowbaby! 

If you are interested in custom tutus, Heather is your girl!  You can find her at the link above or be a fan on facebook!

How cute is litte Dracula!!  One sneak peek for now…  Your gallery will be up soon!

Thanks!

Bring your little one in a Halloween costume or cute fall outfit to have their photos taken!

They grow up so fast so capture them in a wonderful portrait before they do! (example Sophia as Roller Girl 3 years ago)

How sweet is she?  We had so much fun!  She totally rocked that pettiskirt too!

…that was NOT rained out!  I am totally rethinking scheduling these sessions during these hot and rainy Summer months…  Lots of sweat and red cheeks!  It was really hot yesterday but Mr. M was SUCH a doll!  Here’s a few sneak peeks!
