March Madness

March Madness is here!

During March Madness (which will continue into April!), Wyckoff-Tweedie Photography is doing what we have never done before. We are offering a complete Disk of Images from Family and Children Portrait Sessions taken two years ago and before. If your family or child were photographed 2 years ago or before, you can purchase your complete session on a disk. In purchasing the disk you also are purchasing the copyrights to these images which allows you to print on your own. All the images from your session will be yours forever.

In order to be eligible to purchase your complete session you must be a family or child that was photographed in March of 2011 or before. The complete disk of images is available for $500. ***However, if you have previously ordered from your session you are able to purchase the disk for $250. You may have ordered a few of the portraits you could not live without, but what about the other images? Here is you opportunity to have all of them!

Also, to our seniors who graduated in 2012 or before, your complete Senior Portrait Session is available for $110.

If you have any questions or would like to purchase your Family or Children Portrait Session from March of 2011 or before, call our studio at 708-354-2880 or email tweedie@wyckoff.com.

Wedding Photography

Weddings, Weddings, Weddings! What an exciting time in one's life! Planning a wedding can be fun yet challenging at the same time. Some of the decisions facing couples today are difficult to navigate, for example:  How do you choose a Wedding Photographer?

Your wedding photographs are a timeless way to document your special day. Looking through your wedding portraits should give you the feeling of living your Wedding Day again. They can bring you back to seeing your new spouse for the first time, walking down the aisle together and celebrating with your friends and family. Choosing your Wedding Photographer is one of your most important Wedding Day decisions. We have provided a few strategies that may help you in your search for your Wedding Photographer.

1. Do your research. Talk to friends and family about their experiences with their Wedding Photographer. Who did their wedding photography and how happy are they with their experience? Look at their wedding album to get an idea about what you can expect from that Photographer. Also, research other Photographers in the area. Call their studios and ask questions. The more informed you are about your potential Photographers the better you will be able to decide on the right one for you.

2. Go in for "The Wedding Talk." At Wyckoff-Tweedie Photography we invite each prospective couple in for a "Wedding Talk." We feel it's important to meet your Photographer and view their work. During the talk we go over our Wedding Packages with you, helping you to design a custom Wedding Package to fit your needs and budget. We present sample wedding albums to give you an idea of the work we do and the variety of albums we can design. Also, we review details of your Wedding Day, finding the best flow for the day and times to create Group and Family Portraits.

3. Schedule an Engagement Portrait Session. An Engagement Portrait Session gives you an opportunity to work with a photographer and get to know them better. Even if you have already booked your Wedding Photographer, ask them to create your Engagement Portraits. Learning more about each other during this experience will help you be relaxed and ready for your Wedding Day.

Doing your research, going in for "The Wedding Talk" and scheduling an Engagement Portrait Session are three steps you can take to find your Wedding Photographer. Your wedding is a special day that will live on in your memory forever--be sure the timeless images will also!

Children's Holiday Mini Session--Saturday December 8th

Wyckoff-Tweedie Photography is truly grateful for the lasting customers and friendships we have built over the years. To show our appreciation, we would like to do something special this holiday season. On Saturday, December 8th from 10:00-4:00 we are hosting a Children’s Holiday Mini Session! There will be door-prizes and coupons aplenty and treats for everyone.

This one day only experience will give you portraits and memories of this holiday season to treasure. Do you need a present for mom or dad? How about those hard to shop for Grandparents? Our unique holiday products printed with your children’s portraits are sure to bring a smile to even the biggest Scrooge in your family. Sessions are only $30 (that is 60% off our regular portrait session cost).

We will be making photographs and serving beverages and holiday snacks from 10:00-4:00. Call 708.354.2880 to set up an appointment. Walk-in appointments are also welcome. Your pets may also join in on the fun!

Our white background will be decorated with red and silver holiday ornaments and we will have a variety seats and props handy to accommodate families with different numbers and ages of children. Your child can wear their special holiday attire or dress in another outfit.

Your Children’s Holiday Mini Session will produce 15-20 portraits. These images will be put online in a password-protected gallery where you can place your order. In addition to having access to a variety of unique holiday products you will have access to a special portrait price list for this session only (it is 50% off our regular family price list if you were wondering). This is our holiday gift to so many of you who have been so wonderful over the years. Thank you! And to those of you who don’t know us—this is a great opportunity to meet us.

Babies, toddlers, elementary age children, teenagers and pets are welcome to be photographed at this event. The background and lights are set up—now we just need your children. Thank you and enjoy!

In 6 months I grew this much!

Time is flying by and all our babies who are doing the First Year Special are growing up and getting bigger! What better way to show their growth than to photograph them in the same outfit each time they come in? Look who we had in our studio today....



This fun little Irish guy has been in for newborn, three month and six month portraits. We are excited to see what the next 6 months brings!

For all you who are wondering what the First Year Special is I will explain. You can purchase a package with either 3 or 5 sittings for your baby's first year. With the three sitting package babies are usually photographed at newborn, 6 months and 1 year. In the five sitting package babies are traditionally photographed at newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year. With the five sitting package mom also gets a free maternity session. The cost? $150 for three sittings or $250 for five sittings (plus the maternity session!).

A Baby's First Year Package makes the perfect shower or new baby gift!

Cute Kid!

One of our two Cute Kid Photo Contest winners came in to our studio last weekend to be photographed.  We took a few photos in the studio then headed outside into a beautiful spring day.  This little guy is absolutely adorable and full of happiness.  His fun personality shines through in his pictures!




Childhood is the most beautiful of all life's seasons.
