Annapolis Preview

Last week I went to Annapolis and walked around with my camera. I have lived in Maryland for almost 5 years and I still hadn't taken the time to go capture beautiful

downtown Annapolis. It was a beautiful morning. It started out as a quiet morning, but after a little while the city started to come alive.

Here are a few of my favorite shots of Annapolis: (click on photo to see full size)

I love Annapolis and was so happy I had the opportunity to spend a couple hours taking it all in. I think these pictures really capture the city and people of Annapolis! Enjoy!

Cutest Kid Contest --- Free Photo Session

Want to win a FREE photo session? Here's how!

Starting today, August 3rd, 2011, I am holding a "Cutest Kid Contest." Here is how the contest works:

Each person may enter one (1) photo per child. You may enter photos for all of your children, if you have more than one. Boys and girls are both welcome!

Children up to age 15 may be entered into the contest.

The photo must be a snap-shot, not a professional picture. Professional photo entries will be disqualified. Pictures I have taken will be accepted!

Photo entries will be accepted today through Saturday, August 13th, 2011.

The contest (voting) will begin on Sunday, August 14th, 2011.

To submit pictures, please email a .jpeg image to Brooke Olejniczak at photographybybrooke08@gmail.com

Please include the following information with your child's picture:

Name (first only)
Age
Favorite hobby

Photos and information will be added to my Facebook fan page --- "Photography by Brooke."

Beginning on Sunday, August 14th, those of you who enter photos into the contest will begin sharing the Photography by Brooke fan page with all of your friends and family. You will ask them to "like" the fan page and then to "like" your child's picture.

Every "like" on a picture will count as one (1) vote. Comments are definitely welcome, but they will not count as votes.

Voting will run from Sunday, August 14th through Sunday, August 21st, 2011.

The object is to share the fan page with as many people as you can...the more votes your child gets, the more chances he or she has at winning the contest!

The child that gets the most votes will receive a FREE PHOTO SESSION! The session will include 30-45 minutes with Brooke, an 8x10 of your favorite image, and a CD containing 15 fully-edited, high-resolution images.

Free session is valid for one (1) year from end date of the contest.

Send me your "Cute Kid" pictures now! Good luck!

Welcome To My Photography Blog

My name is Brooke Olejniczak. I am an amateur photographer located in Bowie, Maryland. I proudly serve the Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Virginia areas. I am a self-taught photographer. Since I have always had a passion for photography, I decided to take it a step futher in 2008 and began taking photographs of my family and friends. My goal is to open my own photography business. Since 2008, I have done numerous photo shoots including engagement, wedding, individual, family, children, senior, maternity, and holiday portraits.

I spend a lot of time before, during, and after each photo shoot to ensure that you are receiving the best photographs possible. I am very patient and understand that children need time to warm-up to the photographer and tend to need breaks during the photo session. While my photo packages include a specific amount of time, I adjust the time based on individual needs to provide you with the best experience possible.

My Equipment

I use a digital camera for all of my photo shoots. I have two Nikon cameras, the D40x and the D5000. I mostly use the Nikon D5000 for my photo shoots and utilize the D40x as my backup camera. I have an external flash, five lenses, indoor lighting, and some props, but you are always welcome to bring your own.

My Photo Shoots

I LOVE to conduct my photo shoots outside in natural light, but also provide indoor photo shoots. All photo shoots include clients' choice of location, unlimited pictures, unlimited poses, and at least one change of clothes. ALL pictures are edited and retouched no matter which photo package you choose. Depending on the length of the session, the number of proofs available for purchase is AT LEAST 15-20 and most of the time more than that!

Flexible scheduling with lots of times are available. Rescheduling due to weather or other circumstances is NEVER a problem. I will even come to your house to do the photo shoot. I DO NOT charge a sitting fee or additional person fees. The price is the same for 1 person to 10 people. Turn around time for your proofs/prints is done as quick as possible without compromising quality!

My Promise

I will continue to take pictures or redo your pictures until you are completely satisfied!
