Our September Baby of the Month!

This month we feature a newborn that just did not want to stay awake, and who can blame a newborn for sleeping? We photographed this precious newborn at Clovis Community Medical Center. We love the fact that you can see the newborn's face, as well as the relative size of the hand to adult finger. Parents love when we can incorporate features of the newborn, and not just the same boring old pose.

New services at your home!

Next month we will look to expand our services to include at home photography. Photo Nursery will be able to visit homes and capture those important milestone photographs. Anyone can go to a studio and have photographs taken with studio lights, but we will be able to capture your newborn and family members with natural lighting in the comfort of your home.

We will also include family members into the portrait session so that we can document this important time in every family members life. We will offer the ability to proof orders via the internet, as well as the ability to buy a photo CD with the rights to print more photographs later, as well as use the CD as an insurance policy if anything happen to the photographs.

Our August Baby of the Month

This month we feature little Addison who we were able to photograph at Clovis Community Medical Center. As you can see we were able to capture some very precious first moments and we were honored to do so. Thanks again mom and dad for allowing us to showcase your newest family member!

What is new?

Well we are currently ramping up to take care of existing and new mothers in Fresno and Clovis. We are excited as we have added new photographers today, and we will continue to train them through this weekend.

Welcome Tiffany!

After interviewing many candidates for our District Manager position in Fresno, CA, we were delighted to add Tiffany Bremer as the newest family member to Photo Nursery. Tiffany comes to us with a solid academic background, as well as a positive can do attitude who will quickly earn the respect and admiration of her staff. We will definitely feel the immediate positive effects of adding her to our team.

In the meantime we continue to interview for our photographer positions for Clovis, CA and Fresno, CA as we will start operations on July 31st.

Making the move.....

Making the move to California to start operations for Community Regional Medical Centers was a fun journey. I decided to drive and enjoy the scenery rather that take a boring flight. After all, I have taken hundreds of flights through the previous years, and it was most cost effective than flying.

I did stop and take photos a couple of times on the way to Fresno. On the way back I will take many more, so I will keep everyone up to date.

May's Featured Newborn

We were invited to photograph a precious newborn today at Winnie Palmer Hospital, one of the largest birthing centers in the United States. Melani comes to us at just over a healthy 7lbs and is full of love. Welcome to the growing Photo Nursery VIP list!

April's Featured Newborn

This month we look at Becky who was recently born at Cape Canaveral Hospital in Cocoa Beach, Fl. We were again contacted by a family who wanted something more than just a snapshot of their newborn. We were happy to help out and captured some great photographs.

Thanks again and congratulation to Becky and the entire family!

Photo Nursery's newest addition

Today we are pleased to welcome Katherine Stodtko to the Photo Nursery family. Katherine brings a wide range of retail and hospitality experience. She has worked with Kodak, Margaritaville, DKNY and Kid City USA.

Katherine's skills will be used to assist in the opening of new facilities, as well as the training of new staff members. She will also assist Jeff Secrease in the daily operations out of Orlando, Florida.

Success!!!

Thanks to the help of many talented individuals we are off and running. Today we received word that we have been awarded the contact for two hospitals run by Community Medical Centers in Fresno, CA. These facilities have very common goals to our own, and we will bring the hospitality and constancy that their current provider has lacked. Community Regional Medical Center and Clovis Community Medical Center will deliver over 10,000 newborns a year.

We will do this with our very well trained staff, and even some help from our friends at FIRST Day Photo! Again thanks to all those who have helped start Photo Nursery and get us moving in the right direction.

Thanks to Lorena Secrease, Brad Person, Jessica Person, Ryan Giron, and Christina Harrison.

Friends in the media.

Today we highlight Jessica Person who is with FIRST Day Photo! I met her and her husband Brad about 18 months ago and they are fantastic people, and here you can see just how kind they truly are. During a training I was doing while working for Kodak, I met Brad and he told me all about their company. Brad was the first person to speak with me about what their company provides. Our services and philosophies are very similar and he Today Show on NBC did a spot on NILMDTS and Jessica was a huge part of this. Please check out the link to watch her on this national spot!

Find out about our services!

We are please to announce our latest Information Packet designed to give a basic overview of our operations and philosophy. We are committed to providing talented staff with a desire to exceed the expectations of the families we serve.

We would like to thank Visual Prospect with their diligence and design in this project. They have been a pleasure working with and we will continue to patronize them in the future.

The right cameras

At Photo Nursery we understand the importance of having up to date cameras to ensure optimal results. After all most parents are going to photograph their newborns anyway, so we must provide better quality than what the average person is going to capture. We offer a true service, not just snap shots of babies.

We currently use Nikon Professional D200's, D300's, and D80's to ensure a high resolution image, as well as a consistent platform in which to provide outstanding images for all our parents.

Professional Lens

We pride ourselves on not laying a newborn in some silly contraption with a camera attached to a pole to take a photo. We only use Nikon Professional lens to help ensure we capture high quality images of all out newborns. We use the ultra high-end Nikkor 24-70 2.8 lens as our choice in newborn photography. It allows us the ability to capture images with great contrast, and unprecedented sharpness in the hospital baby photo industry.

Our look....

As previously posted, at Photo Nursery we decided to go with an "apple green" polo for our standard appearance, with the help of Queensboro. We feel this will allow us to convey a consistent look while operating in hospitals.

In facilities that feel this look may not be proper, we are also to create a more professional appearance in a business casual look as well. You can also view the updated images at Photo Nursery.
