More "In Focus"

Beach Sessions

The beach is a great place to take kids for a session, because it offers so many different things for them to explore.  When they are busy exploring, they don’t realize we are taking pictures; and, when they find a cool treasure, they are excited to show it off.  Usually, once they get a chance to do their thing, they don’t mind sitting for a couple of “posed” shots for us.  It’s a really nice balance. 

This beautiful family had the perfect beach session.  The live fiddler crabs were a big hit – the seaweed, not as much!  Spending some time walking the beach with mom and dad is always a good thing.  The bubbles at the end were just what the girls needed to finish the long walk back to the car.

Here are only a few of our favorite captures.  We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

The Word on the Street is . . .

Our customers love our custom portrait purses and the service we provide.  After delivering a portrait purse last week, we received the following note of appreciation:

I did receive my purse and it is so wonderful! Just perfect! You two do such a beautiful job!!!  . . .  Everyone is so pleased with the pictures. I even gave the girls at work the website so they can look at the pictures. They cannot believe how great they came out. . .  [We] have been so lucky to have you two as photographers!!! Truly! 

 

In addition to portrait purses, we also offer portrait beach bags.  This is a great time of the year to have a family portrait taken on the beach and then use one of those images make your own, unique beach bag.   Interested?  Contact us for more information. 

Until the next time,

Why We Love Weddings So Much

From the time we are hired to do a wedding, we start working with the bride and groom through engagement portraits and pre-wedding consultations.  By the time the wedding arrives, the bride and groom not only consider us to be friends . . . they trust us, too.  That’s crucial on a day that can otherwise be very stressful.  Most of our brides and grooms have heard horror stories about other photographers, and the ability to know and trust us before the wedding arrives gives them a great sense of peace. 

It is not common, however, for us to meet the parents or extended family and friends that will also be participating in the wedding ahead of time.  So when the wedding day arrives, we are strangers (of sorts) to them.  And, for the most part, they are not really interested in having their pictures taken over and over again.  But, over the course of the day, we witness a transformation.  They not only get to know us and like us, too, they start grabbing us at the reception and ask us to come take pictures of different people.  When the day is done, they, too, have become friends and are excited to see the pictures.   

For us, it really doesn’t get much better than this. 

Here are a couple quick shots from our two recent weddings.  We’ll be posting more soon, so be sure to check back.

Meet Our Final ’09 Senior Representative

This is Anna.  She is a Junior at Catherine McAuley High School, and she loves the performing arts.  We had a lot of fun meeting Anna and her dad, and we are really looking forward to working together this year.  Here are some of our favorites from her session.

 

 

 

 

Anna (and all of our Senior Representatives) should have their promotional cards by the end of this week.  Be sure to get yours for special offers available only through our Representatives.  They will also have their 5x5 proof albums to show-off, so be sure to ask about those, too!

We’ve been busy lately with both senior representatives and weddings.  Stay tuned for some sneak peaks at our beautiful Spring brides.

Another Member of the Class of '09!

We are having so much fun meeting and working with our Senior Representatives.  If they are any indication of what the class of 2009 is like - it's going to be a great year! 

Meet Lindsay.  She is currently a junior at Bonny Eagle and loves soccer and track.  We met Lindsay through one of our favorite seniors from last year.  Lindsay loved her friend's portraits and is excited to be working with us this year. 

 

 

 

We have already started receiving calls to book senior sessions - that's the earliest we have ever booked them.  It looks like this summer is going to be a busy one!

Until the next time,

Judianne and Ron
