Today’s Feature Friday is Brett from Photo Studio B. If memory serves me right Brett is the first male to be featured! Don’t worry Brett, we don’t bite (unless you are holding the last piece of turtle cheesecake, then I make no promises). Brett is a family friend I have known for almost two years now. He recently took our family photos and I could not help but share! They turned out amazing! The pics and *a giveaway* are coming up soon, but let’s get things rolling with the one-minute interview.

• What is your favorite crafting tool or secret weapon? Photoshop
• What would be the one piece of advice you would give us moms out there trying to capture great shots of our kids? Don’t be afraid to take lots of pictures! You can always delete the bad ones. I do! & Don’t be afraid to change the settings on your camera & play around.
• If there was one thing about men you wish women understood what would it be? Men can be creative too.
• What/who was the subject of your favorite photo ever? My daughter at Snowbird
• Toothpaste: are you a tube squeezer or a tube roller? I squeeze until I can’t get anything, then roll to get more.

Here are a few of Brett’s favorite shots from his portfolio:

Ever wonder how to lock your blog photos so people can’t steal them? Brett gives you the html code to lock the photos on your blog.

The thing I loved most about our recent shoot was that it was so much fun! It wasn’t stress about keeping my crazy little guy still or making sure every one’s eyes were open, it was just us having fun and being a family. The fact that my little one is so curious just added to the opportunities for great pics. This is the way I want to remember us, laughing and loving each other.

Here are some of my favorites from my shoot with Brett (sorry there are so many, it was hard to decide!):

If you are wondering…How can I get in with this guy. Well, since you are all my close bloggy friends, I will tell you. Brett does 1 hour sessions for a session fee of $50, but he has agreed to waive the fee until August 31 so you guys can give it a whirl! You know how I love free! The cd of your shoot (20-40 images) with printing rights is only $75 (they wanted $99 for this in addition to the other fees when I got my sons pics at Target). See more details on Brett’s Photo Studio B page.

I know, I know, you are all wondering what the giveaway is. Well, Brett has been so awesome to offer one 1/2 hour photo session for FREE! Yep, free. And I will be throwing in a free 8×10 print of the photo of your choice. Woohoo!

And now for the fine print nitty gritty details of the photo shoot giveaway:
