Last portrait of the year!

Well, it's been an amazing 2009 and we had a great little session with Ethan to end it on a good note. We had a lot of fun watching him meander back and forth through the studio. He had some serious tasks to accomplish, moving stuffed animals from the basket to the shooting area and it was really funny to watch. We squeezed a couple of good shots in between trips and most importantly he seems very comfortable with the studio now, so we should be good to go for his next portrait.

Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and is looking forward to the new year. We've currently got a huge rush for family portraits at the studio. Since I know everyone's family is in town I'm extending my hours and booking multiple sessions per day, so if you're hoping to get a family portrait with someone who hasn't been in town since last Christmas, give us a call and schedule your appointment today.

Chelsea's Senior Portraits

What a fun portrait session. The falling snow looked great, it streaked across the background giving this familiar railroad bridge a whole new look. We worked fast to make sure no one got uncomfortable, or wet, and to ensure my batteries held out long enough. We ended up taking about 100 shots, but we were only outside for about 30 minutes total, so that's a really fast pace, much faster than I normally shoot. We got some really cool shots with the bridge and with the curved bit of track on the other side of the road. Three of my favorites are in my senior gallery, and stay tuned for the montage I'm designing for Chelsea.

Well, he made us work for it, but we got a couple of really cute shots of James last night. He was really more interested in running around and hiding under blankets, and hey, who could blame him, but the few times we got him over to the shooting area, we were able to focus and get some good portraits made.
