Recent portraits

About 2 weeks ago I had portrait sessions with a couple of friends with very different requests. The first one is someone that I have worked with and known for the better part of a decade. Chris has a beautiful family and I think we teamed up well to make some very nice pictures. Our plans to do an outdoor shoot were ruined by the wet stuff that was coming out of the sky, but as we are still in a drought in these parts, we gladly moved the pictures inside and changed gears.


The other friend, Chrysta, needed some headshots and wanted to work on a few looks so I gladly jumped on the opportunity to help her out. This session did manage to make it outside, and even to walk through a bit of water... reminding me that you always need to be careful on the green (moss covered) rocks. Yeah, some wet shoes and near falling was involved. Isn't that what makes this type of thing fun?

New Offerings - cards!

Don't you just love it when something you have been using and liking offers something that you didn't know existed? Well, this happened to me the other day with my fulfillment house. It seems that they have been offering cards for a while now and I just stumbled across it the other day. There is everything from birth announcements to Christmas cards. Just think of the time saved by having me, the photographer, handle the making of your family portrait and transferring your chosen picture onto the card of your choice. No more multiple stops and time wasted going from one place to another to get your holiday mailing taken care of. There is a bit more input needed in something like this, but the final product is most certainly worth it. I hope you agree:
