Holiday portrait sessions...

It seems like every year the holidays come around more quickly than the year before.

We are scheduling Holiday Portrait sessions now so that you can have your portraits back in time to order Holiday gifts or cards for your loved ones.
We have several new products that we are featuring this year for holiday gifts such as silver ornaments or sterling silver charm bracelets or necklaces with your favorite image/images on them. These are sure to become an instant family heirloom and make great gifts for grandparents or even for yourself.

We've extended our holiday card campaign where you receive 5 free cards for every 25 cards that you order through the end of October!

Call our studio 865-777-5683 to schedule a complimentary Getting-to-Know You session where we can show you some of our past work and help you to create a wonderful family portrait session that will meet whatever needs you may have. You can also go to our website and view some of our past work at www.broylesportraits.com

Welcome Lexi

We would like to congratulate parents Alicia & Aaron on the newest addition to their family. Alicia recently gave birth to a beautiful little girl named Lexi.

Alicia & Aaron are participants in our Bonding Before Birth program. They came into our studio during their 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy and honored us with the opportunity to capture them interacting as a family before Lexi's birth. Lexi has a big sister named Lily and these portrait sessions allowed Lily to bond with her new baby sister as well.

After Lexi was born, the entire family came back into our studio to show off the new baby in a very casual portrait session that I'm sure will be treasured even more in the years to come.

The above images were captured at Michael Broyles Portrait Studio in the Renaissance|Farragut complex in Farragut, TN with a Nikon D200, at F10, with an ISO of 100,using a Tamaron lens of 28.0-75.0 mm f/2.8 on a dark grey muslin background.

Holiday Greeting Card Special

We are offering our clients an early bird holiday greeting card special. If you place your holiday greeting card order by October 15,2009 you will receive 5 free cards with every order of 25 cards purchased. This will also ensure that your holiday cards are back before Thanksgiving.

We now have a page on FaceBook. Become a fan of Michael Broyles Photography to receive details of our specials. Keep an eye out for our Fall Portrait in the Park promotion.

It's a Senior thing...

Senior portraits are about expressing who you are. When Mars came in, to have her senior portraits taken, she expressed that she wanted a more urban/grunge feel to her portraits.We made every effort to accomodate her and by doing so, we got some great images of her being herself. Which is really what senior portraits are all about.

By taking the clothing choices that Mars picked out and simply standing her next to a concrete wall with metal pipes we were able to really capture Mars' personality.

We are still looking for a few more senior ambassadors from Loudon, Lenoir City, Farragut and Hardin Valley high schools.

Being a senior ambassador has many perks, you get reduced pricing on your portraits and some cool free stuff just for letting us capture your personality.

If you are an upcoming senior or you know one then please contact our studio 865-777-5683 to find out how to become part of our Senior Ambassador Program

Baby's First Portrait

Bringing a baby in for their first portrait can be a daunting task.
The new parents aren't sure which outfits will look the best on their little one or how to position the baby to make him/her the most comfortable. The stress and anxiety of Baby's First Portrait session sometimes outweighs the fact that the new parents are creating a cherished memory with their little one.

We want the new parents and their new baby to be as comfortable and relaxed as possible. This is why we provide a complimentary Getting-To-Know-You consultation as part of any portrait session that we do. This allows our new parents to come into our studio and view some of our work and discuss what they want to take away from their portrait experience. Often, we discuss appropriate clothing and background choices and it this time together helps lessen the stress and anxiety that many new parents feel about their portrait session.

This consultation also gives us the opportunity to explain the different Baby's First Year programs that we have available and we can discuss the portrait sizes and to whom they want to give the portraits. We've found that our Getting-To-Know-You consultations also help us to begin building a relationship with this new family.

If you are looking to have portraits of your new baby or even a family portrait, please call our studio 865-777-5683 to schedule your Getting-To-Know-You portrait consultation. You can view our past work at www.broylesportraits.com

Last week the Gibson family came into have Blayke's portrait taken. My how this little one has grown. She's sitting up now and saying small words. It seems like she was tiny just a few weeks ago. Where has the time gone?
