Joe (the Senior Session)

Joe stopped by for his senior session and brought tons of great stuff! A cello... which is gorgeous... an awesome guitar that he built himself!! Love it! and don't forget that Jacket Pride!!

Here's a sneak peek...and YES! he's actually playing a little number during this photo!The guitar that he made!!!!

canvas... I really love me some canvas...

All righty!!!! Keeping in mind that there are ENDLESS possibilities for canvases... shapes, sizes, etc... Here is something I put together as an example of getting a little bang for your buck with multiple images...

The finished piece would be 34 INCHES square. Therefore making the large image at least 30" across, and the little ones about 4-5"... Sorry, I'm not going to take the time to do the actual math... :)

Love it!

BTW!! The WALL OF CANVAS is finally here!!! Ya gotta see it to believe it. Four different sizes, all the same picture, so you can see just how big you should go... Fantabulous!!! An 11x14 never looked so small.....

Cards, Cards, Cards....

The card selection from studio 60 has gone from.... Non-existant... to slightly ok and a little boring... to Much is better!!!

Check out a couple examples of these cards using images from this year's seniors and weddings! These examples are just front and back 5x7 size, but there are folded and tri-fold also... All include envelopes and are around $2 each. (Which is CHEAP! Have you priced a Hallmark lately???) Look for the new Holiday cards coming up soon too!

OH! and a little side note, don't think you have to save your card sending for the 'major' holidays... Why not Thanksgiving? or Easter? How about New Year's?? And of course the no brainer... A new baby :) and Wedding Thank You's?!? Now! Get on some photo action so we can make some wonderful cards!!!!

Alicia + Toby (the WEDDING)

Hello Hotness!!! Maybe that's why I couldn't sleep last night... Well.. Who knows, but anyway! Alicia and Toby totally brought it on with their images... (maybe it's because I coached them and prewarned them about a lot of little things during their engagement session...)

Enough about that... Here's a sneak peak (because I'm a dork and couldn't wait to show everyone!)
Hello!!!! Yummy....Isaac got 'Transformers' for the day... Bribe? Yes. Did it work? For the pictures. Ceremony? Nope....This is one of my FAVORITES!!!!

Retouching...

Just a little reminder about retouching!!! As a photographer, I will choose my favorite images and naturally retouch them to what I believe is an outstanding representation of the image. HOWEVER! If you have an image in mind that I didn't choose, I will always retouch them with the same care and consideration as the rest!

Crystal + Justin + Boys

What do you get when you have 2 boys, their baby brother and couple suckers? Cooperative kids. (almost) Yeah! for Blowpops!!!

Here is a sneak peak from their session!! I love these!!!!!!

This girl brought the prettiest dresses!!! A Senior Session like no other... these images are straight out of a magazine! Love, love, LOVE IT!!!

Early Morning Wonders...

You just never know what you're going to find when you're getting ready in the morning.... Today it was this little fawn in our front yard... Not so special by itself, because, well... we are surrounded by corn fields and country!!! but this little guy found a friend.... another of the many residents here on 'The Hill'... and of course the beautiful sun coming over the trees...
and the geese flying over.... this one was by his lonesome...

Little Miss Muffet

Lilly and I had an impromptu session... Only because I realized that she was lacking in the photo department and well... We can't have too many gaps, you know!! Now if only Faith would still like to get her picture taken!

Jena + Josh (the WEDDING)

Jena & Josh had a wonderful "Beginning of Fall" day for their wedding... I don't think it could have got much better! Here are a couple sneak peaks...
... if you can believe it, I got them all out in the middle of the street for this shot... they acted like they were scared or something!!! until the flasks came out and I told them to JUMP FOR ALL THEY WERE WORTH!
