This is the real deal

Taking one child's portrait is challenging but a lot of fun. A photographer pulls out all the stops - making funny faces, singing songs, talking in silly voices, playing catch with favorite toys, blowing bubbles and sometimes the promise of a treat after the photo shoot. But when you add a sibling or two to the photo shoot that is an additional story in of itself. Encouraging all children to look at the camera at the same time and SMILE takes extra effort.

During Ahrend Studios Cute Kids Contest, we will take siblings' pictures as an added bonus to the individual child's session. Check out some of the "real" poses that are a part of the shoot. These are as real as you can get.

Benjamin

Benjamin came in for his portrait to be taken as part as Ahrend Studios Cute Kids Contest. We fell in love with his look and smile. You can enjoy it here with us too.

Lisa

Lisa is a beautiful young lady, we really had a great time taking her pictures. She posed for us in several of our senior "styles", even in our new "Paint the Town" outdoor session. Her gorgeous eyes and sparkling smile are just a couple of her features that stand out. We hope you are not too blown away while reviewing her portraits.

The Woody

Surf City

Two girls for every boy

I bought a '30 Ford wagon and we call it a woody
You know it's not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goody
Well, it ain't got a back seat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I wanna go

And we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every boy

You see they never roll the streets up 'cause there's always somethin' goin'
You know they're either out surfin' or they got a party growin'
Well, with two swingin' honeys for every guy
And all you gotta do is just wink your eye

Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every boy

And if my woody breaks down on me somewhere on the surf route
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wetsuit
And when I get to Surf City I'll be shootin' the curl
And checkin' out the parties for a surfer girl

And we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every
Two girls for every boy

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

"Take me out to the ball game,

Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."

Jack Norworth

It is spring and baseball season...
They say there is nothing more American than baseball and apple pie...
Ahrend Studios captured some young men ready to become their teams hero...



Ready to be the next Babe Ruth or Willie Mays.



"...root, root, root for the home team..."
