Are you a Little Bit Country? Or a Little Bit Rock-n-Roll?

Which do you prefer?
An edgy urban session, or a more relaxed country session?

Considering Lake County has one of the most expansive forest preserve systems in Illinois, there are so many natural resources in our own backyards! With rolling hills, tall trees, lush grasses, we have everything we need to create that dreamy, relaxed portrait.

What we also have available to us, are so many quaint small towns, with fantastic buildings and back alleys to give us an edgy urban session….not to mention we are located right between two great big cities, Chicago and Milwaukee!
I have photographed in downtown Antioch, Libertyville, and Lake Forest….and would love to come to your town too!

So leave me a comment below…which do you prefer?

A little bit country

A little bit rock-n-roll

As I take this winter season to gear up for the upcoming rush of all the children, families, seniors and couples I will photograph in the next year, I will be doing some retooling and revamping. So make sure you are checking back for all the greatest updates. My “baby” should be debuting in the next month or so, I can’t wait!

In order to keep my creative juices flowing, I am working on a personal project. As much as I love creating portraits for others, there are times I just need to feed my creative soul and photograph for myself. So I started the eighty-five of eighty-five project. I will be photographing for 85 straight days using my 85mm lens. It is my favorite lens, so this should be easy….the 85 days straight will be difficult, but I am determined to do it!

Please check out my eighty-five of eighty-five website…hopefully there will be some cool images for you to check out, perhaps a laugh or two at my expense….should be good times for all.

With the winter comes some time off, some retooling and work on great things for the next year.

If you are interested in a great outdoors session this winter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
However, most of what you will see from here on out will be personal projects I am working on.
Hopefully, you will like what I have to offer!

So check out what is going on below for now and be on the lookout for GREAT things to come in 2012, namely a dedicated senior website! Britt Anderson Photography plans on being the premier spot for Lake County and North Shore high school senior portraits.

Holiday sessions are officially completed!
While I will still be taking on any new sessions needed this month, if you are in need for portraits for holiday gifts or cards, I am unfortunately unable to accommodate any new clients at this time.

I am looking forward to doing some fun snow sessions this winter, so don’t hesitate to contact me if you are up for an adventurous snowy session!

Second, you will probably start seeing some more personal posts in the coming weeks. With the holidays, our family has taken on the Elf on the Shelf tradition!

Annika has named our Elf, Elfie.
Yes, her stuffed dog is named Puppy, her stuffed pig is named Piggy, her stuffed wolf is named Wolfie and her stuffed lamb is named Lambie.
See the pattern?

So here are our first week adventures with Elfie!

Well, one option has been to purchase your cards directly from me.
But now, there is another option for you!

Britt Anderson Photography has partnered up with Tiny Prints this year to help with the ordering and printing of your holiday cards.

Tiny Prints is one of the leading retailers of customized photo cards, whether it is for the holidays, a baby announcement, or a save the date. They provide a high quality product and fantastic customer service.

To start your order with Tiny Prints, please click on the image below which will lead you to Britt Anderson Photography’s storefront. From here, you can shop for any product on the Tiny Prints site.

If you have already purchased a digital file from me, you are free to upload that image directly to Tiny Prints to design and order your cards.

Your other option is to utilize our escrow system. This system is a way for us to release the images directly to your Tiny Prints account to order a card. It will include a small attribution for our studio on the back of the card, which is part of this free file service. You will not have access to the original image file as part of this system, but will be able to use it on the card of your choice.

When you are ready to order, please let me know and I will upload your chosen photo(s) into the Tiny Prints Escrow system. We will then send you a unique code for each image, which you can use in the creation process in the “add a photo” stage to retrieve that image into your personal Tiny Prints account. Once you have retrieved the image, you can use it on any card for up to 30 days. Your card will be printed with the high resolution version of the photo, but you will not have access to that file.
