Finally...

because of the kindness of my friend John I can share my first TV debut. (Thanks John!) Yes, it happened last August and I've been wanting to share it forever but some things are better late than never.
So go can click HERE for Part 1 of the interview or go to You Tube and put Eleni Photography in the Search box. It's Split up into 2 sections because the interview was 12 minutes long and You Tube likes things to be 10 minutes or less (who knew?) So click HERE for Part 2.
I share tips and tricks for taking photos and talk a bit about my biz! Enjoy!

A big shout-out to my models who were perfect angels during the entire interview. The interviewer, Houida Kassem, was super nice, did a great job and put me right at ease.

And because a post is not a post without a photo here's one of Alexi looking as super excited as I feel!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

P.S. The latest blog news is that I got rid of "Followers" and put in a Subscribe to the blog Button on the right hand side. Check it out! Simply put in your e-mail address and you will get a confirmation letter. Confirm and every time I update the blog you will get the update via your email - photographs and all! How easy is that?
Yes, this is yet another geeky computer thing I'm all excited about!

More Summer Fun!

Summer on my mind

Or warm weather on my mind (as we freeze through one of the coldest and snowiest winters I can remember). So with that I'm going to start sharing the photos that never made it onto the blog in 2008 for lack of time in the busy fall.

I love the look of happiness just from playing outdoors and I love the golden sun peeking from behind Theo and his dad.

Party Time!

A certain little guy had his first birthday party!!!!!!!! And all his peeps showed up to help him celebrate.
Big bro was there with Snoopy....
Smiley face came...
As did Little Miss Serious...
Little Girl in Red...
Cousin .....Godbro ...
Pretty Princess ....And what's better than playing with the PAPER that the presents came wrapped in?

Obviously the answer is NOTHING!

PAPER RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Birthday Month!!!!!!!!!!!!

January is a very special month as both my boys are January babies.
This little guy turned one on the 21st (he now has 7 teeth and curly hair)
and my oldest turned four on the 6th.

Two bros

Here's a fave from Christmas. I love the real joy on their faces. I'm so happy that they like each other and get along.
P.S. If you look up top I changed the blog header to the both of them.

Happy [belated] New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone!

It was great spending time with family and friends and relaxing!
I will slowly be sifting through the holiday photographs and posting some here.
For now I'll leave you with this nifty little graphic below. It's a favicon.
What's a favicon you ask? It's short for favorites icon. If my website www.eleniphotography.com is a favorite of yours - add it to your favorites list and this cute favicon will show up making it quicker to find and identify.
I also updated my website with the latest cuties I photographed in the last half of 2008 so take a peek and see what's new;-)

I hope that everyone had a.....

Fantastic and wonderful Christmas!! I hope that everyone is resting and relaxing (like I am). I'm posting this year's Christmas card with artwork on the front by Melanie (a totally awesome artist.)

This is what you saw when you opened up the horizontal card.And here's the back.

My Happy, Happy Youngest Guy!

Here's one of my baby boy in all his good-natured glory!

This Coffee Table Book is...

so stunning my jaw hit the floor when it first arrived. It's something new that I'm proud to offer at Eleni Photography. The pages are thick and sturdy.Here's the cover - it's still in the box here.It lies flat 180 degrees! Perfect for displaying on an easel.
And I love the full page spreads, like the following two.

I loved seeing these

two brothers interact. All of their photographs together express a lot of happiness.

When mom called she said that her oldest boy had lighter eyes fringed with dark lashes and the youngest had big chocolate eyes. Her descriptions did not disappoint me. In the above photo older brother is looking very supermodel-like, but he told me he's never modeled before.(Yes, I asked him.)

And yes, little brother has eyes that you could swim in, they are so big.

Hey, look at my..

two bottom teeth!!!!

And look at my quick manual dexterity. I can lift this heating grate in seconds.
Opps! Caught in the act!

My oldest is...

growing up for sure. He is my "little man" now.

Working on Holiday Orders

and I thought I'd share this cute, non-traditional Holiday card. Holiday cards come in linen or watercolor paper and are unique one-of-a-kind designs.
