Family E session

I recently got together with Nicole, Kurt and their son Todd for a pre wedding session. I always like the opportunity to get together with my wedding clients before the big day. It is such a nice way to break the ice and get to know each other. Here is a favorite from our session together. I look forward to photographing the Aug. 16th wedding out in the Devon area.

Enjoy,

STYLEsmith at work!

A couple months back I had made a post about Wendy and her business "STYLEsmith" If you don't recall take a look back in the old posts. Anyway, I just love doing the "after" shots for Wendy and her clients. It is always so exciting to see these gorgeous transformations. And check out the clothes.......Well I am always excited to check out new clothes. Wendy has greatness when it comes to finding beautiful pieces and at a great price. I really should go shopping with her one day.

So here are some shots from a couple of my sessions for STYLEsmith. 2 fabulous ladies with their great new looks!!

And remember if you need a new look give Wendy a call!

Boys and Dog

Here is a couple of handsome boys and their family dog. Simba (the dog) is actually the oldest of this group. This shoot was set up especially for her! It was a little tricky to get her to perk her ears as she is starting to lose her hearing. My usual barking tactics didn't make the cut but a high pitch whistle still caught her attention.

Restoration

Here is a restoration I did awhile back. It was the only photograph my client had of his sister, she had died as a child. Since it was the only image he had it was difficult to reconstruct the part of her face where the original image had been folded. But he was very pleased with what I was able to bring back. I am happy I was able to give him a cleaned up version.
It shows us just how important a portrait can be to a family.

Stephanie and Matthew

July 12, 2008......what a beautiful day. I had the honor of photographing a gorgeous wedding in the Legal area. There was so much love and happiness it couldn't of been a more perfect event. I wish the newly weds a long and happy life together.

Family Time

A little time has past since my last post. Things were a little busy and sometimes it just gets hard to find the time to make a post.
Here is an image I recently shot of the Fredrickson family. I am thinking of possibly using it for competition this year. I really like the feeling of it.
I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

Headshots

I just wanted to take a moment to talk about head shots. They are very important for a person's business image. I mean you wouldn't just use a marker and a piece of card board to make your sign or logo. So why would you use an old outdated snap shot to portray yourself??

Whether you are an actor, politician, CEO, or even a photographer you have likely needed a head shot at some point in your career. Maybe it was for a campaign, a business card, a website, or an audition. No matter what the use, the head shot is an important tool for identification, even name recognition. So it is important that you have a head shot that represents you in your best light. Natural and approachable. And of coarse flattering.........nothing is more unflattering than a big old flash bouncing off your face while you are standing right up next to a wall!
That's just a little something to think about the next time you open a newspaper or check out a website.
And now I am off to change the business world one head shot at a time.
