Everyone has a story. Let us tell yours. | Maris Ehlers Photography

Every one has a story.  Let us tell yours.  


Maris Ehlers Photography is currently "looking" for certain people with stories to tell, so if you know anyone who fits an item on the following list, please have them contact us ASAP.   Please also feel free to post this on your page and share with others to help us find the right stories.  




Our photography services would be at no charge, and if they wish to purchase prints, etc., it would be at a 30% discount.  


1.  Engagements - if you are going to pop the question in the near future and would like to have that captured, we are looking for two "couples".  If you are chosen, photographing your proposal would be at no cost. 


2.  Military Family - if you know of a military family who has had a parent serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, with children under the age of 18 at home, please have them contact us.  We are looking to tell a powerful story, and will chose the family based on their story! 


3.  Life stages - we are looking to tell and document the story of an adult parent who has recently had a life-changing health diagnosis.  This parent must have children at home under the age of 18, and be willing to share their journey and story through photographs and words.  Our services for this family / parent would be at no charge, and would include several sessions over time.

• Babies - ages 6-10 months (must be sitting independently and NOT yet crawling)

Please keep in mind that I am not the only one who will be choosing who we use, so if you are not chosen, please, please do not take it personally.  

TO APPLY: 

1.  Email us at info@marisehlersphotography.com.  You MUST include a JPEG photo of your child.  Include one of yourself if you are applying for the mother / daughter category.

2.  Please give first name only, an email address, city and state, and child's pertinent info (hair, eyes, and all clothing sizes). 

3.  Tell us a little bit about your child and why you think they would be a good fit for their age category. 

How we choose and when we shoot: 

Older children would not be needed until summer (or close to it), babies selected may come earlier (weather depending).  

If you are chosen, an agreement would be sent to you with specifics (including a model release). 

Please email us no later than May 15, 2011.   Thank you!
