We Are Back

Sorry about the long absence from the blog. We have not only been traveling a lot to photography workshops, but we have both missed almost a week with this nasty flu bug that has gotten around town so much.

I want to thank the many loyal and understanding clients who had to reschedule because of our illness. Margie and I rarely ever get sick; however this was a very potent bug that really knocked both of us for a loop.

We got an opportunity to study under and work with some amazing master photographers during this last month. We came back with some cutting edge ideas that will continue to make our images the most unique styles that you can find in this area.

Spring is almost here and we have wall to wall senior students getting in under the wire for their 2008 senior portraits. We have a few openings this next week and then March is very, very full. If you have not booked a time, call as soon as possible to see if we can squeeze you in.

The new Nikon D3 camera is making some awesome photographs. The depth of the tonal ranges and the shadow detail is as good as you used to see in big format film cameras. I will get some sample images posted this weekend for you to see.

We will soon have an announcement for 2009 Seniors that will be pretty exciting. We are finishing plans for a set to be built at our Elm Valley location that will be one of a kind for this area. I won't reveal the nature of it just yet, but I can assure you that senior girls will love this new outdoor set. Our plan is to have it finished in April. We will keep you posted on the progress of this unique setting.

We decided to discontinue event photography from our business. Dances and banquets are fun and usually interesting. However, we are so busy with our portrait business that we simply want to be able to devote all of our time and interest to our true love in this business. Nothing is more rewarding than creating beautiful and unique portraits of senior students, families, children, babies and models.
