Another birthday boy

Funky Monkey Photography — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 08:15:18 +0000

Happy 1st birthday, Charlie! You’re such a sweetheart and give the biggest smiles! You already have lots of teeth as seen in your smiles but still teething according to your mom. Which means everything – I mean everything – goes in your mouth immediately. You are very adored by your parents and your big sister. Hope to see you in the summer with your family!

Angel Baby

This adorable baby angel graced out Madison studio last week. She’s only 3 months old and such a trooper already. Her mom told me she had a heart surgery in January but she was ready for her first modeling session! And she did great. Very curious, a little cautious, but 100% sweet!

See, she even had wings! What an angel.

Birthday Girl

First birthdays are very special and fun especially when the birthday girls (or boys) come to celebrate in our studio! We had lots of pink, balloons, cupcakes, candles, bubbles, tutus, crowns and more! Oh what fun we had!

Thank you!

Thank you to all everyone who took advantage of Funky Monkey Extravaganza yesterday, I was glad to see so many of our clients come back. I’m happy to be seeing you all again soon. I’m also excited about meeting new families in 2012! Here’s to a great year and seeing you soon! I’m currently in the process of creating and sending e-Certificates to everyone who made their purchase yesterday and they will be going out today! Along with answers to any questions you have and more information about how to redeem them. Thank you for your patience and you can expect to be seeing them in your email “Inbox” today.

In the meantime, I wanted to leave you with a little “Eye Candy”, which is our line of fun to have (and to look at!) photo-related products. This is a “Brag Book” which is an accordion style small album that fits in your pocket, purse, on your desk or a shelf. It’s 3×3″ and it holds up to 10 photographs. With a personal cover and custom design, this book is a beauty! It comes in a set of 3 identical books for giving and sharing. Once you slip on its protective clear plastic cover, you can carry it with you to show off those gorgeous faces of your family.

So many fun photo sessions, so little time…

… to blog about them. Yes, once the busier-than-busy season starts in October every year, we fall behind on blogging. Or rather give it up for a while so that we can concentrate all of our efforts on our getting our clients their images.

We’ve had sooo many cute families and children this year again! It’s been great to see so many familiar faces and yet continue meeting new clients. We spent lots of time at a Tree Farm for holiday photo sessions. Here are just a few of the fun images I captured recently.

PS. Check back on Monday morning at 8am for our Cyber Monday special!

Wagon rides

Funky Monkey Photography — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 08:14:21 +0000

He’s about to start walking but for now he was thrilled to be pushing and riding in the wagon. He’s also a fast and efficient crawler, I was impressed! I may have rolled around on the ground just to stop him from crawling past me a few times to his delight (see first photograph below, I’m shooting from the ground and he’s trying to get pass me to my right). I was glad to find out he hit it off right away and I got lots of smiles from this little man with white blond hair and sky blue eyes. Thanks for taking me on your family walk around the neighborhood!

A monkey, frogs, trains, sticks and boys

Funky Monkey Photography — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:27:30 +0000

That’s what playing with little boys pretty much consists of. Since this was the 2nd time this year I got to see and photograph this dynamic duo of brothers, we started playing right away and had loads of fun. From finding a (toy) frog in the grass, playing with the wooden train set under the covered wooden bridge, “mowing” with their plastic mowers (one for each brother of course), it was one chase after another. After the session, their mom wrote me that she doesn’t know how I do it (keep up), she was exhausted after our adventure. She had to chase one of the boys while I took some one-on-one shots of her other son. It is true, our “playdates” or photo sessions are as active as the kids are – I enjoy chasing little kids around and they get such a kick out of it, I can capture their adorable spontaneous expressions. It pays off in the end because their mom also mentioned she keeps coming back to me to capture her boys’ true personalities and expressions.

Fall Frolicks in Madison Wisconsin

Funky Monkey Photography — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 08:48:15 +0000

Are you enjoying the current weather? Frolicking in the fall leaves is so fun when it’s sunny and pleasantly warm outside. I’m spending all day today at a local Madison nature reserve creating memories for my clients. Fall is the most anticipated season in portrait photography. Many of our repeat clients book their fall family photo session way in advance to make sure we time it during the optimal color and weather season.

This fall join me in a local park or a wooded area to create memories of beautiful colors and family fun. We’re scheduling limited Fall Frolicks photography sessions for children and families in Madison, Middleton, Verona, Waunakee, and area. Mini sessions available! Limited dates in October 2011, only a few spots left so please book early so you don’t miss out. The Wisconsin fall colors are vibrant but don’t last long. Contact us to reserve your family’s Fall Frolicks photo session. Let’s have some fun playing the leaves! Our sessions are never boring. Just ask Eli.

Fall farm photos Madison WI

Funky Monkey Photography — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 02:51:27 +0000

Every fall for the past several years I get to spend a little bit of time with a happy little guy name Eli. He’s a curly hair very handsome 4 year old who has always been had a laid back, happy personality. He’d shower us with spontaneous smiles and not shy away from the camera, in fact, he wanted and still does want to be photographed. I told his mom Eli is one of the easiest “subjects” to photograph ever. Now I also get to play with his little sister, a beautiful brown-eyed itty bitty girl who just turned 1. She was pretty generous with smiles too. Both the kids had lots of fun exploring the farm and meeting various farm animals. What a great way to spend a warm sunny October afternoon for all of us!

This image captures the “Childhood’s happy moments” for me and I was excited about the gorgeous late afternoon sunlight.

Of course, not every moment caught has to be happy, I enjoy a moody image now and then.

Big brother got a “Baby Chic” sister now.

Who’s very sweet and has brown eyes just like him and can walk now!
