ASD Portrait Day Announced!

02*10*2012 Posted in Uncategorized

If any of you are on my Facebook page, or read this blog post you know about our sweet girl who lives with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). In 2006, I photographed a school that had several preschoolers on the autism spectrum.  Caroline was still a toddler and we had no clue that she was on the spectrum.  To be honest, I did not really know what autism was.   Our preschool photography company, Spoiled Rotten Photography,  is not your ordinary school picture company- we work tirelessly to get wonderful portraits of each and EVERY child.  One child came to be photographed and his shadow (or aide) was with him.  We worked and worked with him… and I remember feeling relieved when we finally got one shot of him smiling.    What I didn’t realize until his mother called me… it was the first picture they had ever gotten with their son smiling.    WOW!

Caroline had her good friend and ASD classmate over for a play-date.  His mother told me that they had not had a professional photo of their son since he was 3 (he is now 7) because “photographers just don’t know what to do with him.”    There are many other events in between 2006-2012 that have inspired me to have a day, just for kids like mine, where the photography staff understands ASD, and will work to capture the beautiful spirit that lives in each and every one of our kids.   2011′s event was a great success- and so much fun!  See here for a blog post about 2011′s ASD portrait day.  Here are a few of these amazing kids we photographed last year: 

When:  Saturday, April 28th, 2012

Where:  Dublin Park, at Kid’s Kingdom

What:  Complimentary Spoiled Rotten Photo 15 minute Session (for one child living with ASD)

We are offering a complimentary 8×10 from the session & no obligation to purchase, but other images will be available to order on-line at Spoiled Rotten Photo prices.

If you do not live in the Huntsville, AL area…. there maybe a photographer in your area offering sessions!  Click Here to see other participating photographers.

Hey Everyone… My beautiful daughter, Caroline, lives with Autism.  I’ve blogged a little about her here.  If any of you have ever tried to photograph a child on the autism specturm, you know how much patience it takes to get a great photograph of them!  Each year, our studio has an ASD day where I give a free session to children on the spectrum and also a free 8×10 of their choice.  See here for a blog post about last year’s sessions: http://melissatash.com/blog/archives/1598

April is Autism Awareness Month- this year we are planning the ASD portrait day on Sat April 28th. So far we have 10 photographers participating. My goal is to have at least 500 kids on the spectrum photographed!   If you are a photographer and interested in offering ASD sessions in your area- please send me an e-mail:  Melissa (at) MelissaTash.com or call me at 256-658-8275!

Models needed! – Huntsville Photographer

01*19*2012 Posted in Pre-School * Promotions

Calling all Cuties (0-7 years old!)

We need a few little models to shoot some sample images on our Spring Set. They need to be available next Wed, Th or Fri afternoon (Jan 25-27)  I have some time Thurs morning as well. I’m looking for pre-school & early elementary age cuties (ages 0-7).

Boys- would need to wear khakis or jeans with a solid light colored shirt (small print is ok too).  A light colored jacket with a cute tie would be awesome too.
Girls-  I’m looking for fancy girls in pearls– vintage inspired clothing (solid or small prints).  Also, any kind of fashionable outfit will be great for the girls too. 

**I will have some clothing from Itty Bitty and Mint Julep Kids  that we may dress you child in as well.**

This is the backdrop we are using - the set also includes a ruffled ottoman and several canvas/burlap pillows…

 

If you are interested call the studio at 256-658-8275 to set up a time to come in.  Images will be used on our website/Facebook and marketing material.  Let me know if you would like to see what we shoot….   if you are interested in purchasing prints we will post the images to the Spoiled Rotten on-line ordering, but here is no obligation to purchase.
