New Website, New Brand

I think we have been going through business names like water these days. First was Michael Alan Photography way back in 2005. Last year, I felt bad that Becky was playing such a big role in the business yet wasn’t getting the recognition she deserved so we switched things to Paramour Photography back in 2009.

Becky is about 14 weeks pregnant with our second child so we both agreed that it will be best for her to focus on being the best mom she can be to our children and I will fly solo with the photography… Shooting a wedding has become way too taxing on her so she will be sitting on the sidelines for now. I do have a couple amazing second shooters to take Becky’s place for the rest of the 2010 wedding season so no worries there.

So I present to you the final re-branding of our business — Michael Alan Bielat. Same great service. same great photos.

Thanks for everyone’s support and understanding.

A Special Portrait Photography Promotion

I’m fortunate in that I have an amazing ability to take photos of our son. I realize that not everyone has this opportunity. As a photographer, I photograph a portrait session and then have parents come to our home studio to pick out the photos that they want printed. However, we see all the time that there are more photos that our clients would love to have but simply cannot afford. Being a parent myself, it would kill me to know that there were photos of my child that I’m in love with but cannot have and that will be gone for good.

Because of this I have decided to do a special portrait promotion. For the price of $500, you will receive a photo session with myself along with a disc of all the images (in high-resolution) and a copy release form. These images will be large enough so that you can also blow them up to any size you would like. I’m are hoping that with a special like this that you will be able to capture this special time in your life.

From experience, I am urging you to capture the moments. This promotion is valid for ANY type of portrait session. Maternity, family, newborn…you name it, just give me a call at 716-491-8854 and book your session today.

A photo says you were happy and I wanted to catch that. A photo says, you were so important to me that I put down everything else to come watch

I ♥ FILM

I haven’t posted pics of our little guy (who is not so little anymore BTW) in a while so I decided to shoot his year and a half portraits entirely on film. Man I am loving film! It brings me back to when I first started photography over thirteen years ago. All I am missing now is the smell of those chemicals in the dark room ;) Probably not the most healthy thing for you but nevertheless… Enough blabbering, time for the pics.

Baby “T” Turns One

This little guy was a champ! He did an amazing job throughout the entire session today and he totally rocked out the photo shoot. He was dressed so spiffy that I thought I was doing a commercial shoot for Gerber or something. And don’t even get me started about those blue eyes!

Here are some pics:

Baby “O” Turns One

It never fails to amaze me how fast children grow up… I love seeing how much they learn and watch how their personalities form.
This little guy recently turned one so we did one of my classic “cake smash” sessions. Of course he was just too cute so we had to do some other pics as well.

Take a look:

Models In The Making

I have been photographing these two for quite a while now and every time has just been so much fun. As we all know, the weather here in Buffalo has been less than stellar so an outdoors shoot was out of the question. It was really nice to change things up and do some high key portraits in the studio.

There is a funny story with that last image. Kailey came out dressed like a little rock star and I said something like “When did Hannah Montana get here?” She just ate that up and got all excited so she was all smiles for the rest of the session. With that, I decided to take a little bit of extra time and make a poster for her. Think she’ll like it?

Thanks for stopping by!

Children Portraits of Our Son

Having our son Cameron has been the best thing to happen in our lives par none. He is always a ray of sunshine and brightens up our day every time we look at him.

I’m sure you can only imagine how many photos we take of him with both his parents being photographers…
