NO choosing of clothes based on set colors. All colors look great! Even dads love them because they are in a nice cool studio and there are snacks and drinks for everyone. 

The photos are just for example there will be more details added to this set for a final production.

What is special this year

This year will be the first year that you can add The Santa Experience.  Last year was a trail run with Santa and it was such a hit that we brought it back and we are giving it a few more bonuses to help create a real “experience” for the children to celebrate with Santa.  If you choose to add The Santa Experience (highly recommended based on last years results) you will receive a bonus questionnaire for Santa to have so that he can have real interaction with your child about their pets at home, their Elf on the Shelf and some other fun things to chat about. 

There will  be a gift from Santa for your child to open and a few other surprises also!  This will truly be a magical experience for your child.  It will not be a rushed 2 minutes in the mall with crowds all around and an impersonal experience with Santa.  This will be a time to remember and it will all be captured in portraits for you to cherish forever!

Safety Precautions for Covid-19

I want you to know that we take the health of our families very seriously.  We are taking all precautions possible to make sure the studio is safe from Covid-19 for all families.  Here are just a few of the things we will be doing to ensure safety for our families …

Communication

We will communicate before your session about your feelings moving forward with scheduling.  We will talk about the below safety precautions in the studio or on location.  I will confirm that no one participating in the session as had any viral symptoms in the last 14 days.  Upon entering the studio, each family will be asked to sign a form that says they have not had any symptoms of Covid 19.

Hand Washing

 Upon entering the studio all family members will be asked to wash their hands.  There will also be hand sanitizer readily available to be used at anytime during the session.  I will also be washing my hands thoroughly before, during (if needed) and after each session.

Masks

You are welcome to bring your own masks but Tracy will have them also.  She will be happy to wear one during your session if you prefer.  She will also have them available for you if you prefer to wear them.

Gloves

Disposable gloves will also be available.  Tracy will happy to wear them if you prefer.  You will also be welcome to use them if you prefer.

Shoes

You will be asked to remove your shoes while in the studio.  If you will be wearing them for your session, you will put them on to wear in the shooting area and then asked to remove them for the other areas of the studio.  The floors will be disinfected after each session.

Family and session frequency

Until further notice, only immediate family members will be allowed in the studio.  Only those participating in the session.  ALSO-  for now, sessions will be scheduled every 3 days.  Although the studio will be disinfected thoroughly after each session this will ensure an extra measure of precaution.

Studio Cleaning

 After each session the studio will be disinfected with medical grade disinfectant and all wraps, props or wardrobe clothes borrowed will be washed and disinfected.

I hope all of these precautions will help you feel safe and comfortable before, during and after your session.  If you still have concerns and would like to chat about covid-19 or anything with Tracy you are welcome to reach out.  She is happy to address your concerns and reschedule or postpone your session if you are more comfortable doing so. 

Peek Inside TGP

I am so excited to share a real sneak peek inside a session with ME at the Tracy Gabbard Photography studio! It showcases what the real experience when you choose Tracy to capture the most important time in your life.  Wether a new baby, a milestone session or a family session Tracy strives to give you not only custom created albums and wall art that will last a life time BUT ALSO an amazing experience.  She wants you to walk away with your heart full and with your home full of the joy of your family.   It took many hours of hard work, a WONDERFUL family and a talented videographer Shannon Kelly to pull it all off! It will now grace the home page of my website tracygabbard.com. Check it out when you have a chance! But for now… here it is!

*Disclaimer…. we did this peek inside video BEFORE social distancing. So, if you are uncomfortable meeting in the studio for consult we can do it via video until this all passes! :). We are enrolling families, children and babies for summer months. If our situation does not change with the virus dangers all prepaid money will be refunded if cancelled because of COVID-19.

NO Corona Virus at My Photography Studio

It’s crazy out there!  We all want to say “NO Corona“. I understand, we are all concerned about so many aspects of this new virus and how it might effect our lives, health, finances and even on an entertainment level as more and more things are being cancelled we worry about tickets we have purchased and vacations we have planned. 

For those mommy’s expecting a baby or with small children they have even one more worry.  BUT I am here to tell you… “Don’t worry TGP mommy’s, I have you covered in at the photography studio“!  We are taking ALL precautions at the TGP Photography studio. We are stepping up our game even more that normal to make sure that if your baby or children are in the studio we are PREPARED and doing everything possible to ensure your families health. 

To Stay Safe

Here are a few things that we are doing (some of them we do anyway, all the time) to help make sure we all stay healthy!

1. LOW volume!  My studio is ALWAYS a low volume studio.  I choose to not take on too many sessions per month to make sure I have enough time to devote to my clients and my family at home.  I DO NOT have many families in and out of the studio ever!  and rarely have 2 sessions in one day (in the studio at least).  Right now I will GUARANTEE at least 3 days between studio sessions in order to keep TGP photography studio sessions health.  Even if that means pushing a newborn session a couple days past when I would normally schedule them.  It looks like many news sources are sharing that this virus lasts up to about 3 days on surfaces.  So that will hopefully ensure that any germs that may have been left after disinfecting will also be gone!

2. DISINFECTING everything after every session!  We always do this anyway but we will be much more vigilant now.  Wiping down furniture and disinfecting floors.  Thankfully the studio is VERY simple so there is not much to disinfect!  We also use safe disinfectant that is not harmful to the environment to say “No Corona” to the virus!  BONUS!!!

3. WASHING all laundry!  Again – this something we ALWAYS do after every session.  Anything a baby or anyone uses gets washed.  We also use safe, non toxic laundry detergent to ensure your baby doesn’t have any reactions to any blankets or wraps that their delicate skin may touch.

4. DOGS – We love to welcome dogs to sessions with their new babies but at this time we will not be able to schedule any sessions with fur babies!  It is just to risky to any other families that may be headed into the studio, even if it is 3-4 days later.  We will let you know once we are able to welcome them back!  We will certainly miss them!

5. PLAY AREA – We have a nice little area with toys and things for children to do in the studio.  Until further notice we will remove the toys from this area.  We will ask families to bring in some small baskets of toys from their home to help keep the kids busy while they wait.  This is just to ensure that children are not playing with toys that other families children have played with.  This will also keep us from worrying that we missed something when disinfecting them.

6. GLOVES AND MASKS – We always have hand sanitizer out in the studio and I use it frequently when working with newborns but I will also have gloves and masks (until they run out LOL!) available for myself and any moms and dads that would like to use them.  I will also use them during your session by request.  I have NO problem doing this to help ensure your confidence!

7. SCREENING.  All clients will be contacted with in 24 hours of their session to make sure no one is exhibiting any symptoms of any type of sickness.  Most families are very respectful of this normally and reach out to let me know if they or their babies are not 100%.  However, I will be reaching out personally just to make sure we are all on the same page.

8. CHANGE – you are welcome to change your studio newborn session to an in home session!  This may give you a different look and feel to your session but we can do so and it will be just as beautiful as a studio session. If that is something you are interested in just let me know and we can talk about it!

I hope this helps reassure any families that already have a session scheduled or are thinking about it but are unsure because of any reason or particularly the corona virus that we are taking every precaution to say “No Corona” to the virus, and more to keep our studio a HEALTHY studio!  Please reach out if you have any questions!

New Beginnings Plan (NBP)

I have been blessed to see this family for the entire year!  They are members of the popular New Beginnings Plan (NBP), the TGP’s 1 year baby plan.  We have planned their session for the entire first year.  Each of their sessions will be unique with each one including something different.  Their fur baby, each set of grandparents at different sessions and I “think” the fur baby will come back for the first year session!  The New Beginnings Plan includes a minimum of 3 sessions but more can be added for no additional session fee.  They chose to add a 4th session.  This session is what I call a “heads up” session.  It happens around 3-4 months of age when they are holding their heads up really well on their own and smiling at their favorite people. 

They have chosen to do the New Beginnings Plan album.  An album that will build throughout the these sessions and will be printed and delivered after the last session.  They are also building a wall gallery that will include a favorite wall print from each session.  We have 1 more session left and I am excited to design their album!  I will make sure to show it to you when it comes in!  

Here are some favorites from her newborn session with her best friend and a few more I couldn’t leave out!

Here are a few favorites from her “heads up” session.  I am so jealous that I did not get professional pictures of my babies with their grandparents!  What a special memory for not only mom and dad but baby too!

Last but not least… here is a sneak peak of her first year wall gallery design on their actual wall!  We add a piece to it from each session.  I can not wait to see the final outcome!

Puppies Photography

TEN puppies in the studio!  It was SO much fun to play with these little ones and doing puppies photography in the studio!  We had a great time watching them try to sit and walk.  I LOVE how all their eyes look so blue and they absolutely LOVED to snuggle with each other!  They continuously would dig their little heads into each other so they could snuggle, stay warm and sleep.   I was even able to use some of my newborn session tricks to get them all to sleep at one time. 🙂 . There were lots of hands on deck to help corral them all together and keep them comfy. 

In this litter of puppies there were 4 sets of twins and 5 boys and 5 girls.  A perfect littler!  I love the second picture as the middle puppy yawns and the other one tries to eat it’s siblings ear.  There were so many fun pictures to post it was hard to decide but here is a few of my favorites.  They will all make you smile.

Very similar to newborn sessions

This session was similar to an actual newborn session.  We kept the studio warm, tried to keep quiet, relaxed the puppies by rubbing their little noses right between the eyes and evened “shushed” them a few times with the “shhhhh” noise.  If you have ever had a newborn session with me, you know those are all things I do with the babies to keep them sleepy and relaxed.  

I thought it would be fun this summer to photograph a few other things that I love besides all my babies and toddlers. And, of course puppies was at the top of the list!  I had a great response to my shout out for a litter of puppies and it looks like I may have another set at the end of July.  There might be some other baby animals in store for fun this summer also so make sure to keep your eyes on social media and the blog!
