Can't Pick a Favorite

It's just too hard to  pick a favorite shot from my senior session with Lauren.  What a beautiful girl.  Fun day too.

Growing Family

The Dungum's (Dunn-Mangum Family)  wanted a new photo to introduce their two soon to be daughters in love.  I have been waiting  for a family with enough guts and muscle to drag the living room sofa out into their front yard, so it worked out well for all of us. 

They were great sports on a steamy hot evening.  This is a beautiful and very fun family, and I love them all.

New Ad 

Just put together my ad for the fall athletic programs.  

The school year will be here before we know it and I can hardly wait!.  Still, I  wish I could borrow someone's five or six-year old to take school-supply shopping.  I sure do miss those days.

We always seem to celebrate birthdays late in our house.  Ian and Lisa came over for lunch and to celebrate Ian's 21st.  I hope they enjoyed our time together half as much as we did.

Muted the colors here and added a ghosted black and white frame.  On One's Photo Tools ROCKS!  Attend one of their online webinars and you can even get a discount.

This is a senior picture that I took last spring.  She's got gorgeous eyes hasn't she?

Today I spent a little time doing PP work and putting some of my favorites into a new "Seniors and Teens" sample gallery.  

I think I'm going to re-visit this high-key process again. I rather like the effect.

Oh . . . and here's a link to the gallery.  Let me know what you think. Did I leave in too many images?  http://spccreative.smugmug.com/gallery/6107358_2grw7#383844098_rHxoB

Another image from my recent family shoot.  Cute cute and very fun family.  When we were nearly done with this series, their cat came to the back door and wanted in.  He's in a few of the shots too.

I spent some time on PP work for these today and can share them with the family in the morning.  Hope they like them.

Fete Noel

This beautiful family asked me to take portraits that they could use for their Christmas card -- but they didn't want to look particularly "Christmas-y" 

Okay  . . . I need to do some research on finding and using  the appropriate accent marks to go with this headline, but I couldn't resist using a feet shot because the DP community seems to have a fantastic foot fetish. 

We have some awesome photos  . . . and I believe the family will be pleased, but the ZOWIE will come with a  bit of PP work.  I'm a bit overwhelmed, however,  with the workflow issues because I want to be able to demonstrate the finished products but should probably let the family select their images and THEN do magic on them.  

Going a little bit crazy this week . . . but hopefully once we get past a new PP learning curve it will all be worthwhile.

So . . .  Whaddaya think?  The chair in the background distracts me, so I think I'll work on it next.

Secrets on the Playground

These best friends are about to be split apart for a while as one heads off to college and the other stays for her senior year in high school.  We went back to their elementary school, and this spider web was the only piece of playground equipment that even existed when they went to school there. 

Because we spent a couple of hours at three different locations it is way too hard to select just one photo, and I haven't even begun to process the batch.  I've got some others that I MUST finish first . . . but you'll probably see another shot or two of these gals.  

Love those mischevious smiles.  Thanks girls  -- for a very fun morning.

Austin

The other day I got to shoot senior portraits of another amazing student.  I just can't say enough good things about this young man (and his mom).  I'm doing a little processing today so that I can get the proofs posted.  What a fun afternoon!
