Torie's Senior Modeling Session

Torie's Senior Modeling Session at Walck Portraits in Coudersport Pa

We had a blast with Torie! We planned to spend some time in the camera room, and then head outside. Torie did a wonderful job picking out cohesive outfits which our backdrops and locations complimented well. We like to have fun with our seniors, and Torie was up for the experience. We had her spin in her dress while Meg (my wife and co-owner of Walck Portraits) used a light reflector as a fan for her hair! This resulted in a few fun photos, as well as some amazing captures :)

Once we finished up in the studio, we headed out to the Baker's Creek area of Coudersport PA and trekked into the snow! BRRRRRRRR it was cold, but this didn't seem to bother Torie! I had packed a bunch of lighting gear with anticipation that the sun would be too low, but to my surprise, the light was just perfect. So happy these short winter days are starting to get longer! Check out some of the images in the snow from this slideshow:

Shortly after our session, we brought Torie and her mom back the studio, where we showed them all of the finished images on our larger than life projector screen. They loved them! They ordered a handful of our die-cut wallets, a few 8x10's printed on our professional Metallica Kodak Endura papers, and a hand designed 5x7'' album. The album is my favorite!

"We had family photos done previously and were thrilled with the results! Tim is very easy to work with and he makes the process fun. The finished product is amazing and well worth the investment." - Jalyn Tezik (Torie's mom)

So You Want To Be A Photographer?

Are you interested in becoming a photographer? Do you want to turn your passion for creating images into a source of income to support yourself and your family? Tim Walck Photography will soon be offering online courses in photography training, and portrait business training. Each course will span 4-8 weeks. Every student who participates in all classes will gain the tools necessary to succeed in the wedding and portrait photography business. ---- I started my photography business with only $2,000, which I had saved from working as a tele-marker, social services provider, and substitute teacher, all while being a full time graduate student at Mansfield University. That was enough to buy a camera, lens, and flash. I poured my heart and soul into photography, read everything I could get my hands on, and began to build my business. After 3 short years of juggling multiple jobs, and being a photographer on the side, I made the leap into phot...

The Struggle with Senior Portraits Posing for Guys

If you search Pinterest for senior photos, overwhelmingly, girls show up. Tons and tons of examples of beautiful senior girls in flowery fields, on the town, in a stream. There are a few exceptions (and some really great ones) for guys, but it made me stop and think about the struggle with taking senior photos of boys. Sure, many of them aren't really into it, but rather having photos done because mom said so. Many aren't used to having such undivided and direct attention showered their way. Also, the teenage years can be awkward for boys. Where do you put your hands? How do you look like you're not enjoying it too much? What if you're not into sports? The struggle is real... but fixable. Here are our some of our best senior portraits and tips for making them feel comfortable : #1. Talk to them and wait for just the right moment for the "natural smile". #2. Photograph them in places the...

Valerie Gaberseck: Mom & Me Winner

In late April, Walck Portraits advertised that we were looking for nominations for exceptionally deserving mommas. We wanted to celebrate a few moms that deserved a special portrait session and some gift prints because of how hard they work to take care of their families. With over 25 applicants, it was so hard to choose, but one of the most endearing nominations was for Valerie Gaberseck . Normally, women aren't keen on their mother-in-laws, but Valerie was nominated by her daughter-in-law Angelee Kamats . There were many, many great things that Angelee stated about Valerie, but there were a few things that stood out the most: Again...the fact that she was nominated by her daughter-in-law. This doesn't happen often. She's a mom of four: two adult boys and two teenage daughters. Phew. That's some work. She has faced many personal issues within her family, and yet she still perseveres. Everyday. She stays true to her faith in God....
