I posted this image on facebook and I could not believe all the great comments. As many of my blog readers are not "facebookers", I thought I would share this here as well. Mason cam in just under two weeks old for his fist portrait. We photographed him with his mother for the main look but thought a whimsical holiday portrait was important as well. Is he just the sweetest little Christmas gift? Any how feel free to comment...
By the way we are working on a valentine baby image if you know anyone that is expecting in the next few weeks.

Today is the first day of 2010 that we are back at the studio. I am so excited for this year and have many new backdrops and ideas to implement. Kate and I are spending the morning returning all the phone calls from our week off. You know it is going to be a great start when several are to schedule brand new babies. Of course, I did have to take down the icicles that grew this last week so we could get in the door.
I hope to see all of you this year,
Audrey
I wish all of you a very happy and healthy 2010.
I cannot believe how quickly 2009 went by. You would think with the turmoil in the world and the U.S. economy struggling that the year would have crawled by, but it didn't for me. 2009 held many things to be thankful for both personally and at the studio.
I am looking forward to a great 2010.
All my best this year to you and your families!
Audrey
p.s. I am finishing up the studios "Resolutions" for the year-#3 is to blog more often...
Photographing Newborn babies here at Wancket Studios is becoming a very common event...and we are loving every minute of it. In fact if we have a week without a baby, it seems like we are missing something. I think all babies should have a portrait before they are two weeks old. There is something so profoundly beautiful at this stage when babies sleep so peacefully and contented.
Clients that are expecting a baby can call and let us know delivery dates. We are very flexible with scheduling these sessions as time is of most importance. Look at these sleeping dolls.

This October, Audrey Wancket and Wancket Studios will participate with an elite group of photographers around the country in a very special family portrait promotion. Throughout October, we will celebrate “Family Portrait Month,” a wonderful opportunity for you to update your family portrait (or portraits of your children), and help to support Operation Smile, which treats children around the world who suffer with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.
Along with other studio members of Professional Photographers of America (PPA), we have pledged to contribute $25.00 from each session to PPA Charities, which has chosen Operation Smile as its charitable partner.
What’s more, we have decided to have a few delightful portrait products not offered at any other time where the proceeds will also go directly to this great cause. Just a hint:
“Smile Cards” This set of 5 custom printed cards that feature your portrait on the front and Operation Smile's logo on the back send to your special friends and relatives...
Visit the studio to see the other "portrait " gifts and how you can help save a smile.
Thank you to our Smile Partners, Children’s Dentistry Group, LLC at 195 South Rand Road Lake Zurich, Illinois 60047 847-726-0300

Hi everyone-Yes I know, I am behind in my blogging...again. If you know me, then you know I have plenty to say, it's just that I need to sit still long enough to put it on the blog.
It is Family Portrait Time here at Wancket Studios. Our clients are so good about bringing in the children and the grandchildren and for some the great-grandchildren. Now it is time to celebrate the family. Families are always changing and it is so important to capture different phases in your lives.
This is one of my favorite quotes:
Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.
~Henri Cartier Bresson
I know...summer has been here a while already, it's just that it really has not felt like summer until this past couple weeks. It seems like we wait around for summer to begin and before we know it, it's time for our kids to start back at school. I can tell that many of my clients have felt the same because all of a sudden we are scrambling to find available portrait appointments before school starts.
Our wildflower garden has been well loved this year. If you have always wanted a garden session, please let us know and we will put you on the waiting list for next year.
Fall outdoor portrait sessions tend to fill up fast as well. Call the studio to inquire about having your family photographed outside in September and October.
By the way...When was your last family portrait? If you have children living at home and it has been more than five years...yes that’s right, you’re due!
Have a great end of summer,
Audrey
