Kid + Sand + Water + Shovel = Endless Fun

We're on vacation this week in Cape Cod, where I summered as a child. Visiting friends and family has been wonderful and eating the local foods has been a treat to say the least (lobsters, fried clams, and I can't leave out my Dunkin Donut's iced coffees.)

The most enjoyable part of this trip is seeing my boys enjoy the beach so much.  They literally could be content to play at the beach for hours on end.  Who knew the simple pleasure of a bucket and shovel could provide so many hours of fun.  Our sandcastle making skills are sharpened, look out Seattle.

Kiwi Kid Contest

Vote for your favorite Kiwi Kid.   We had a great day of tasting kiwis with Zesprifruit and playing games with the Red Tricycle gang last weekend. For a bonus I got to photograph a bunch of cuties throughout the day. Please join us in voting for your favorite kiwi kid. The kid/s with the highest votes will receive a complimentary portrait session with Heather Quintans Seattle portrait studio this summer.  (Hint:  Your friends and family can vote too.)  Best wishes.

Red Tricycle and Zespri Kiwi Event at UVillage

We had a ton of fun this past Sunday at the Red Tricycle and Zespri Kiwifruit Summer Event at University Village.   We photographed a bunch of cuties that day as part of the promotional event.  A bit different than my typical style , we were really going for fun and playful as the theme for the day was "play with your food."  We'll be having a contest on the blog  in a couple days so check back and vote for your favorite playful  look.   The winner will receive a complimentary portrait session.

On hand was lots of free tastings of the yummy kiwi (loved the goldens), a kids booth to make fruit cups with ice cream cones  (what a great idea), coloring stations, as well as giveaways with Red Tricycle and Calidora Skin Clinic.    Thanks to the KidsClub in Uvillage for their partnering with this event.

Be sure to check back on Thursday when we'll have a poll set up to vote for your favorite "Kiwi Kid".    Check on the left side here.

University Village- Promo Event - Portraits

It doesn't happen to often, so be sure to join us this Sunday, June 14th at the University Village for a fun summer event for the kids sponsored by ZESPRI® Kiwifruit and Red Tricycle.  I'll have a mini booth set up to take portraits of your little ones throughout the afternoon.  We'll have a "golden" background to highlight your little person, basking in the light of the "Golden Kiwi".    (4x6 prints can be picked up at Heather's studio that week and promotional pricing (hint super bargain) will be available for other sizes.)  Be sure to check back next week for our favorite fun images and vote for your favorite little "Kiwi Kid" where you'll be entered for  arandom drawing for a complimentary portrait custom session.

The family fun day will also include games, contests and prizes, with a drawing for a red tricycle, gift certificates to University Village retailers and more.

Playground Lines

Went to the playground. A common location as a child photographer and a Mom of two very very active boys.  The little one just happened to push all these swings in a row. I just like the lines...kind of soothing and hypnotic.  (The moment lasted about two seconds before he tripped and I went back to Mom mode.)
