New Direction

Lately I have been hitting the post production of some of my images rather hard. I have also gone back to the basics of shooting with the camera. It's nice now that I relay more on manual mode setting of my 50D rather than the Auto pre-sets... Now that I am in control of the camera I want to further understand what it is that I can do with it that will save me time on the post production side.

I am looking forward to this spring and summer... Always some great shots of outdoors. Since my last posting I have now opened a studio in my house. Its really great and I am excited...so much to learn and so little time. These late nights can go on forever.

God Bless

Joseph's Birthday Invitation

Lately I have taken my post production to a new level and have experimented with doing 5X7 Cards with my photo's like Announcements, Invitations, Birthday's and such. For a very special boy I have created a birthday invitation for all his pre-school friends and of course our family and friends as well. My wife told me today she needed them tonight so I did this in about 20 minutes. Normally I don't like to rush my art like that but in this case they turned out to be one of my best. So when you look at these lets' see if you look at them with a Child's mind or an Adults. Most kids will spot out this immediately. I will give you a hint. Between the front and back there are a total of 3 shots of the birthday boy, Joseph...My son who loves Thomas the Tank Engine.

Cookies with Santa

I had the best time taking pictures of the kids with Santa the other night... Seeing each little smile go so big when they approached Santa was a great pleasure. I hope people enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Have a wonderful holiday season.

Merry Christmas, and happy birthday Jesus

Little Trunk or Treaters

I had a blast taking pictures of the little people at Little Saints and Scholars.  All the costumes were adorable.  I wish I had those options when I was younger.  I can't believe my boys are getting so big that my wife and I are not doing school functions with them.  They are worth every second though.

This was Trevor's first hockey practice wooohooo 

Senior Portraits

I am now interested in doing story builds and senior portraits...I found out the other day that a mother paid $1800 to have her daughters senior portraits done.  She received an album and some prints...  Now the work I saw was good don't get me wrong, and I firmly believe that an artist should be compensated well for there work but come on!!! thats a lot of money...  So to all you parents out there who would like to have your son's or daughters in  some really great pictures please let me know and I will be sure not to take your bank in delivering an awesome package.  If you read this post and sign on to follow my blog let me know and I will do the work at cost with only a $100 Fee which is my normal session fee anyway.  So basically if you want a flush mount album done, unlimited enhancements, B&W, Sepia tone, 100 prints...sky is the limit...your choice.
