Families and Children One of the exciting moments for Stalnakers is that phone call following the wedding day, sometimes sooner and sometimes a few years later. Either way, it is very exciting. That is the call of “guess what, we’re expecting!” Being married and a father of two, Kris understands the value of love and relationships. Using those emotions and his artistic ability of photography, he will capture and create images designed around your family. Starting with the expecting mother, Stalnakers has packages such as The Sweet 13. This package includes, but not limited to, monthly sessions as the baby grows up to one year of age. Capturing the firsts in your baby’s life. Such as sitting, the first smile with teeth and the many faces they learn to express themselves with. Stalnakers continues to capture your growing family with different opportunities though out the year. We offer custom sessions at your home or outdoors, around the greater Salem area. Stalnakers also does special outings during the year such as the tulip fields in April, the iris fields in June, a pumpkin patch in the fall, and a couple of beach trips in between, just to name a few. Senior graduates This leads us then, to your graduating senior! This is your Childs last year in high school and probably their last year at home. As parents, you have watched and helped shape your Childs life. Hobbies, such as sports, academics, and music and outside interest are some examples of a senior’s identity. That identity will soon change to the next level when your senior enters the college or workforce world. Stalnakers is privileged to capture their unique identity and personality. We have sessions that range from a 15-minute high school yearbook image to an “It’s all about you,” half-day session. We have a great time during all of our sessions that it can’t help but show in your images. Family, friends and pets are welcome to come along and enjoy the session. As well, props can be used as a great accent to tell the story of who you are. And back again When the phone rings again a few years later and that high school senior has met that special someone, we will be there to start the circle again. Relationships last a lifetime and so do the images we create.
