Wee Cycle Portraits – Aberdeen Portrait Photographer

September 28, 2009 by shawn 

The 2009 Harford and Cecil County Wee Cycle was a great event. It took place at the Perryville Outlets and I hosted a child portrait contest.   I took portraits of almost 100 children in two days and shot over 1200 frames! Thank goodness for digital. It was so great meeting so many people from Harford and Cecil county and working with their children. There were a lot of smiles, some funny faces, some sleeping babies, and a lot of cuties. A lot of the sessions felt too short because the child was making great expressions and I would have loved to spend a full two hour session with them.

The portraits from the event are available for purchase at the links below.  There is no obligation to buy but to do so you may order them directly from the website and please use the coupon code “wee10″ to receive 10%  off a la carte prints.  The photos have had basic touch ups performed on them and all orders will receive a more thorough touch up prior to being sent to the photo lab and then will be mailed directly to you.

I have narrowed the entries down to two babies (highlighted below).  After all the voting took place, they were tied for first.  We are still deciding amongst ourselves how to handle the tie but we will post a separate post announcing the winner (and the winner will of course receive an email from us).  The winner will receive a free two hour session and $50 in prints (a $150 value).

I made two videos, one for each day that I was taking portraits at the event, containing some of the highlighted portraits from the day. These are similar to the DVD slide shows we will be offering with our packages in the future.

I also wanted to highlight a few of the portraits from the event:
I loved the tongue sticking out on this little guy.  He was such a funny little guy.

This little girl had one of the best personalities of the day.  She was sooo much fun both on and off the set.  Plus she was a great help getting her brothers to smile and interact with us.  After her portrait session, she was playing peek-a-boo with us outside while we were in the studio area.  She had us laughing so much.

This little guy was so cute sleeping in the leaves.  He was just so pleasant and peaceful sleeping.

How cute is this guy?!?!  His hat was great but then his expressions were fantastic.  He is also one of our portraits currently tied for first place.

This little guy’s Mom bought this outfit at the Wee-Cycle event just for his portraits.  I thought it was a great idea!  He just giggled and laughed at Mom and it was easy to see the close connection they have.

This guy had some of the funniest looks of the day.

She was such a sweet and happy little girl.  She is our other entry currently tied for first place.

I loved this guy’s outfit and his matching hat.  It went really well with the scene we had.  Oh, can’t forget his great smile too!

How much fun is she having!?!?
