Check out these eyes!!

I can't believe it's already been a year! I've known Miss Anna since she was a newborn, and here she is, a blue eyed big girl. I'm a lucky girl, indeed to work with kiddo's (and families) as sweet as Anna! And no photo of Anna is complete with out her bunny...

And a beret for spunk! Oui, Oui!

Thanks for a great day Anna and family.

Class of '08

Meet Paige, my newest senior rep. This poor girl (and her mom) put up with my torture for a little over 2 hours!! I think it was time very well spent, don't you?

I really don't think she realizes that she's so beautiful. Look out world...she's got it all together...and she's graduating soon. Thanks Paige and Terri for a fantastic Saturday.

Makes me smile

Take a look at Ms. Francesca and try not to smile. Go ahead....

it's not possible is it? What a happy baby with such fun parents (and a cool house, too.) I hope she gets bigger closets, because the girl has a wardrobe any of us would envy.

Really, check her out!! Could you just eat her up?
Thanks Francesca for my Saturday morning smiles! What a way to start your day, your parents are blessed indeed!

Wash tub babies

Do you remember this baby? I know you do... We tried to revisit the tub on her second birthday, but it didn't quite fit...

Ahh, but sister Keeghan fit perfectly!!

Here's the birthday girl with her two best buddies. Is he a lucky guy or what?

Happy Birthday Miss Mia! I hope you had a great party!

We are family....

Today I had the pleasure of photographing one of the largest (and most color coded) groups that I have shot in a while. I want to thank Robin and the Vasquez family for inviting me to be a part of their first ever family reunion. Judging from the lingering crowd, I think all of the hard work paid off, and the party was a great success! I knew you would all want to see 150ish of you in one photo....so here it is!! I'll have the album and the rest of the images ready on Thursday.

Amazing Jewelry Special!!

As promised, I'm back with a great offer!! Check out my newest jewelry designer, Little Whimsy:

http://www.littlewhimsy.com/

The products offered are very unique because the photos are backed by semiprecious and precious stones. Black onyx, mother of pearl, YUMMY! All with your images on them! As a special thank you and a launch to the new product line, take 33% off of the prices that you see on their site. That makes the Mother of Pearl charm $20.00. The lowest price EVER! And the ornaments are top of the line and the perfect gift for the grandparents who have everything.

Haven't seen me in a while? No problem. Order now (this offer ends September 14th) and we can choose your images up to one year from now. Just a hint to the hubbies, Christmas is coming (oh and ladies, did you see the business card holders and key chains for the dads?)

Email or call me with your order or any questions. And thank you for the great response since the new look!

Pumpkin Patch Date

Well, school is back in session, the weather should be cooling off, and my favorite season is approaching. Ahhh, fall, crisp cool mornings that turn to sunny warm afternoons, the brilliance of the colors of the changing leaves, and the anticipation of my favorite holiday...Halloween! There is no better place to be in the fall than the pumpkin patch! For the fourth year, I'm teaming up with the best pumpkin patch in St. Louis; Rombach's Pumpkin Farm. Join me on Saturday October 6th starting at 9:00 a.m. for Portraits at the Pumpkin Patch. Here are just a few examples of what to expect, courtesy of Noelle's Portrait Party last year...By the way, if you're interested in hosting a Pumpkin Portrait Party (also at Rombachs), call quick, I only have 2 dates available!

One of the great little vignettes you can expect see:
My favorite, pick your pumpkin, rural style:

And the traditional portraits in a pile o' pumpkins:


How can you go wrong at Rombach's?

So, mark your calendar for October 6th, and call me at 314.795.0470 or email me at gatermannphoto@sbcglobal.net to schedule your appointment for Portraits in the Pumpkin Patch. There is no session fee, and photos will be in by Halloween. There is package pricing available for this event. Each session will last approximately 20 minutes, so you will have plenty of time to explore the farm and the amazing fun there is to be had there.

Ahh, now where are those caramel apples?

I've joined the cool kids!!

Well, I've finally done it...I've joined the true techie revolution. As if I don't talk enough as it is, I've found more ways to blab. Welcome to the new way to keep up with the busy world of Gatermann Photography!

I plan on using my blog to post my new sessions, artist favorites, exciting events, and more importantly, be able to pass on specials, news and information to everyone much easier (and eat up less of your answering machine tape!!)

Check back often for new events (Pumpkin Patch dates coming in the next couple of days!) as well as sales (new jewelry supplier and special pricing!) and contests!

Thanks for visiting, and I'll post soon with fun and exciting information. Oh, and since I'm posting, I'll add my first blog photo. Are these the cutest kids ever teasing Mr. Alligator? Thanks to A. and D. for the smile!
