Composition portraits

Composition portraits are usually associated with merging two images together side by side or with one image behind the other faded out.   But using the same technique, we can tell a story by merging 4 or five portraits together to create, mood, and drama to the final image.   Just imagine sitting in the stands of your sons and daughters, softball  or baseball game.    The game hinges on the final ball,  it’s make or break time.  The pitcher, pitches , the batter  swings, misses , the opposition  making a break for the home run,  The catcher catches the ball, the game is over.  A proud moment for the team, the catcher and the parents.   The game is over the, the image captured, the composition created, the memory frozen in time to relive over and over again.   Our job is done.

The biggest obstacle you will come up against in life…is yourself.

Flash from the past

A flash from the past, but not to long ago. 

I remember like it was yesterday shooting all our portraits on film. Our senior was very interested in photography. Listening to what our seniors want in their portraits is important, after all they are our customers and without them we wouldn’t be in business right.

It only seemed right to have a camera in her hand in some of her portrait sessions. The Mamya 5×4 camera is still my pride and joy. Even in today’s day of throw away camera’s with high ress capability, this camera would still stand tall in quality.

The only thing is, it takes two weeks to get the film developed and back then i have to go through and tweak them a little.

Creating Art for your home

Our love for art is tied into our photography. We see past the image to the final print before we even take the image. Photoshop is a means to an end, not there to make a bad photo good, but to make a good photo better. Getting it right in camera is a must. But we won’t let the weather, time of day or hard to light locations get in the way of the final concept when it comes to reproducing what we imagined.
Our signature editing does take time as we feel that we are creating wall art for you homes, that your love for many years to come.  The signature editing takes anywhere from an hour to four hours to finish, depending on the style and vision we use. We see it as labor of love.

fast cars and violins

We ask all our seniors if they would like to have something they like doing in the  photo session.  Some say yes some say no, others want their car or dog in the shoot.  Kylie wanted her pet car and violin in her shoot.   So here it is.  fast cars and violins.   Because of bad weather we had to reschedule a few times, but I think Kylie will agree it was worth it in the long run.

Full time fun portraits.

I cannot help it,  The two most beautiful times of the year is spring and full.    Fall is here once again and as always I am captivated  by the the colors of the leaves as the turn and fall to the ground.    This is not the time for studio shoots for families, couples or Kiddies.   Lets get out their and bring out the very best in you portraits.    Last weeks photo session was the first of the fall season for us,  the temperature drops fast, but its worth raping up a little to get amazing portraits.

Seniors locations, rich colors and warm weather.

I spent the winter months looking out of our window at the bare tree’s and the frost frozen lawns counting the days until the tree’s were green, the flowers bloomed and yep the warm weather and the beautiful glow of the  setting sun of a long hot summer’s day  to create beautiful senior portraits that will melt your hearts, and put a tearful smile on the proud parents of our seniors.

Location senior sessions well on the way.

Well the weather has not been playing nicely. Hey but that”s OK, because our location senior sessions are well on their way.  We have shot in high sunlight, harsh winds and we still got amazing portraits.   So as June fades in to July, we know the weather is going to be kind, (hot but kind.).  So here is just a few of what we got in the past week or so.

This is just the start of our seniors.  🙂

when we say vogue we mean it

Distance could not keep them apart.

I asked Ashely how they met.   Arturo smiled, Ashley giggled, We she said, ” I was hanging out in the Mall with my sister.  Then I noticed Arturo as he entered the building.  Pointing him out to my sister, I said my I would love to meet him.”  Her sister told her no problem and walked over and started talking to him.  I followed a few moments later and come to find out that she knew him. “Well that was how we met”, Ashley said. But the story didn’t end there,  Ashley moved to Hawaii to help her friend with her salon, but they both kept it touch.  Then out of the blue one day Arturo asked her if he sent her a ticket would she come and visit. ” Yes off course she would”, Ash told him so the ticket was sent, Ash visited and never returned to the paradise island of Hawaii.   So there you have it, one became two and two became three, and we get to capture their portraits from model to couple to family.  Got to love my job.
