Gwendolyn Waite Photography - fun, fresh, modern lifestyle photographer for newborns, babies, kids, moms-to-be and families in the Twin Cities.
I’m so excited to be doing some mini-sessions this year at Pacifier, my favorite kids boutique in Northeast Minneapolis! Check out the details below. And head to Pacifier to pick up some cute new clothes for your session – if you spend $75 at Pacifier, you’ll receive a complimentary 5×7 print from your session. Or even better, spend $100 and receive an 8×10!
I’m heading out this morning for our annual summer vacation to “the cabin.” Never the same cabin, but always the same dear friends. We’ll be spending the next 10 days relaxing, cooking, sitting by the water, making campfires, and enjoying the last days of summer. I’ll be returning emails and calls after I return on August 21nd. Until then…
I’ve been working quite a bit over the past few weeks on my website – I’m moving to just one site, rather than having the blog and the website portfolio gallery separate. So this is it! When you hit www.gwendolynwaite.com you’ll come to a landing page which looks like this, rather than a splash page where you choose between the blog and the site. I think this is cleaner, easier to navigate, and far simpler. All of my portfolio galleries can be viewed by clicking on the link above in the brown navigation bar named “galleries” (pretty straightforward, huh! I’m all about making it easy!)
Take a look around and let me know what you think. Hope you like it too!
Here’s a photo I shot recently of a Japanese Maple Tree (I think!) – enjoy.

I’m sure that most of you have been following news stories about the devastating earthquake in Haiti, and and some of you might even have personal connections. I have been following a personal story on facebook posted by some friends of mine, about a little Haitian girl named Gracie. My friends’ cousin has been trying for over two years to adopt Gracie from Haiti. After a long and difficult process, and an incredibly stressful few weeks, Gracie landed in Florida on Saturday, and was united with her new mom early Monday morning. They are now getting to know each other as a new family in their home in Columbus, Ohio. You can read more about Gracie’s story here. I know there are stories like this all over the country about people trying to adopt, and so many of them do not have such happy endings. There are still many children stuck in Haiti who desperately need help.
Since the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti, I have been thinking about ways I could help, beyond making an individual monetary donation. About a week ago, my friend and fellow photographer Sally Clark contacted me about taking part in a program she had just created to help raise money for the orphans in Haiti.
It’s called Lenses of Love: Hearts for Haiti, and I am honored to announce my participation. It’s a nationwide effort by photographers dedicated to helping the people of Haiti.
Book your Limited Edition Lenses of Love session by February 14th (you have until April 30th to complete your session) and I will donate 100% of the sitting fee to Kentucky Adoption Services, a nonprofit organization that is helping orphans in Port-au-Prince.
I am offering a special sitting fee for this fundraiser of $150 (normally $200).
Limited number of sessions available. Call 612-747-0372 or email today to book a session.
All Lenses of Love sessions include:
- A pre-session phone consultation to answer questions and discuss location and wardrobe
- A full 1-2 hour photo session at a location of your choice
- An online slideshow featuring 20-35 fully-edited images from your session
- A personalized ordering meeting to choose your prints and products
The session fee is for Gwen’s time and talent only. Wall galleries, albums and other products are available at standard pricing. May not be combined with any other offers. Minimum order of $300 applies.
A great big shout-out to Sally Clark for creating this program, and putting all of the hard work in to make it a success.
Please share this link with your friends, family, and help get the word out. If you are not in the Twin Cities area, please visit the Lenses of Love website and click on “Find a Photographer” to locate a photographer in your area.
