This is Courtney Delay from Bloomfield High School (down by Dexter – or if you’re from there . . . “Dayckterrr” . . . I think that’s how them southern folk say it).
Anyway, we had a great session with Courtney today. Here are a few favorites from her session.

These are the Lawfield Sisters. They came in for a session Wednesday afternoon. What a beautiful bunch of lovely young ladies (and twins . . . you two crack me up!)
Here’s an image that will be hanging in the Lawfield home as a 40×30 canvas!

So I’ve been seriously slacking in my blog posts this season. There . . . I admit it . . . and admission is the first step toward change, right? We’ve just been so busy lately. like 10 hour days EVERY day for the past several weeks.
Anyway, enough excuses. To make up for it, I’m going to make 2 blog posts today to make up for it and hopefully get back on the wagon and get with it.
Here’s Kelton Burgi who came in for a senior session yesterday morning.

We just shot our first full 2012 senior session the other day (we’ve been shooting a lot of 2012 models over the past few months, but this is the first full-on session of the season). I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am for all the new things we have in store this year. New backdrops, new locations, new studio, new products! It’s gonna be an AWESOME season.
Anyway, this is Tori Burton from Delta High School. She ordered some of our new products, a 10×10 digital album and some of our mini accordion wallet books. Both items are perfect for showing off your images to friends and relatives.
You can see a few of Tori’s album pages below. If you would like to see the entire book, feel free to view it by clicking here.

We had a family of 12 in the studio last week for some high-key portraits. ”What is ‘high-key’?” you ask. High-key essentially means that the key tone of the image is high, so usually high key images tend to focus on a lot of white. High-key is a great technique for family portraits as it draws the viewer’s attention directly to the faces of the subjects. But as you can see from these images with the Sharp, Clifton and Elliott families, planning in the clothing department is a huge component, and this family nailed it.
At the risk of tooting my own horn, another key to success with this type of family portrait is lighting and posing. You can’t just slap a bunch of people in front of a white bed sheet and expect to get this look. You have to know how to light the subjects separately from the backdrop and most importantly, how to pose the group in the most appealing, symmetrical and flattering way (and it doesn’t hurt to have a few laughs along the way as high-key images generally have a feeling of brightness and happiness).
Family portraits are so much more than just a picture on your wall. They are an heirloom. A well thought out, and well planned family portrait session will capture your family for a moment in time and preserve it for generations to come.
If you’d like to schedule your own family portrait session (high-key, low-key, outdoors, or even funky/non-traditional), contact our studio to set up an appointment.

Maggie Thorn came in to the studio today. In addition to being as beautiful as a greek goddess (see the B&W photo below), she’s also an amazing musician. I mean it. Keep an eye (and an ear) out for this girl. She’s going places. Click here to check out Maggie’s music page on facebook.
Maggie brought in all of her dad’s old vinyl albums to the session so we came up with a few “vintagy” shots that should make her papa proud (and ought to make the rest of us, who actually know what a record player is, feel really old).
On a separate note, don’t forget that the 50% off senior sale goes through until Sunday night. Call or e-mail to book your senior session at 1/2 off the normal sitting fee prices.

Well, my birthday is today and because I’m feeling in a happy birthday kind of mood, I’m offering a ridiculous special for this week only.
Any 2012 Senior that contacts me to book their senior session by the end of this week (Sunday, March 20) will get 50% off of their session fee. Here’s the best part . . . you don’t have to shoot your session this week. You just have to book it and pay the 50% off session fee. This could be a savings of as much as $100. So don’t wait. If you know you’re coming to us for senior pictures anyway, now is the time to get it on the calendar because session fees will never be discounted this low again for class of 2012.
If you know someone who is (or is a parent of) a class of 2012 senior, be sure to forward this message onto them (remember friends don’t let friends miss out on great deals).
If you’re still undecided on where you’re gonna go for senior pictures, be sure to click here and check out our senior gallery. Hopefully that will help you make up your mind.
You can also download our senior price list straight from our website too (just click here). If you do decide to take advantage of this very special offer, you don’t need to decide on a print collection right now. Just choose which session you want and then contact us to book and save 50% off the session fee (Did I mention that’s a savings of up to $100). Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy!
