Black & White Pop Up What?!

black_white0002
Fo schizzle yo nizzle…time for another pop-up! This time the focus of the mini pop-up session is to capture a stellar black and white portrait of your little one. The biggest challenge will be trying to get your mini you to sit for more than 2 seconds but the end result will be a striking, classic, black and white image that 60 years from now you still can’t get enough of.

The basics:
A 20-30 minute portrait session for up to two kids (max) aged 4months to 8 years (ish). Your offspring should be able to sit up on his/her own and/or have the capacity to sit still for at least a few seconds (ha!). We’ll have a preset backdrop and lighting set up and ready to go. This is not a family portrait session, so sorry. The framing of the shot will primarily be upper body (i.e. portrait) so I’d encourage dapper hats or costume items that may accentuate the personality of your kid/s (i.e. crowns, tiaras, glasses, etc). We’ll do some photos with/without costume items.

When:
May 24 from 9am-3pm. Sessions happen on the hour and time slots must be reserved in advance. Additional days may be added based on demand.

How much and what do I get?
$200
20-30 minute session

Session fee due at the time of booking to reserve your time. The fee is non-refundable. From the online gallery you will choose your 5 favorites photos and send your selects to me.  I will electronically send you the high resolution digital files for you to download. The download will include a permission to print release for personal usage only (copyright still belongs to me). Turn around time for the digital files will be three weeks from the shoot date.

Snap, can’t make it on the 24th, will you be doing this on any other days?
Potentially. We’ll see how the demand is and considering that it is a holiday weekend and not too far away we’ll probably offer another date in June or July. Email me if you are interested and can’t make it and I’ll get a sense for need. More pop-ups to come.

Give it to me! How?
Email ali[at]aszichild.com and let me know:

1.) Your name and the name/s and age/s of your offspring. Two kids max per each session. If you have more than two kids you’ll need two sessions.

2.) Your top three picks for time slots in order of preference (i.e. 9am, 11am or 1pm). Reservations are made on a first come first served basis and will start on the hour.

A Magical Place Called Ziji Early Elementary

Once upon a time, actually once upon today, there is a magical place in the beautiful plains of Boulder Colorado called Ziji Early Elementary. At Ziji the kids are free to play, discover, explore and witness…they are encouraged and supported by some of the most loving teachers and parents I’ve ever seen…and the space around them is INCREDIBLE! Imagine a beautiful home converted into a school where every corner sparks creativity and imagination…building blocks galore, art stations that make me want to PAINT!, a library full of books and comfy couches, a yard with so much room to run and neighbors who are horses. I was fortunate to get to spend a day at Ziji capturing some of the little details of the school and let me just say the following images don’t even scratch the surface. This place is seriously magical. I want to have a kid just so he/she could start his/her schooling in a place like this!

jupiter and mars

Yes’m I’m in love with this little girl and her creative, warm and very welcoming family. I am so in love that I could have easily made this a 25872938753897 image post but I tried to restrain myself. Actually, as I write this I feel the draw to share more because their little girl and their home were just so inspiring. Reason #902385092385 why I love living in the bay area: such awesome and modern San Fran families!

Thanks, DwellStudio!

The folks at DwellStudio were kind enough to feature the previously posted family session involving their gate azure pillows and papier-mâché animal heads. I love working with moms like Jeanne Moeschler…her modern interior design eye makes kid photo shoots that much more photogenic (even though her kids were already overly cute!). I’m a major modern design fan myself so her home + cute kids = MAJOR WIN! If you need guidance with interior design for your home let me know…I’d love to put you in touch with Jeanne. And of course, THANKS DwellStudio!

a pancake party, gardening and yoga!

I got really lucky. I was fortunate to photograph an amazing family with wonderful kids in an impeccable modern Eichler home with lots of ammmmmmazing light. We had a pancake breakfast together, ate some KitKats, picked carrots, did a bit of gardening and practiced our yoga moves! (well, they did all that stuff…I just photographed it and ate pancakes).
