The Skiver Family's Experience

Image
By
This winter has been wonderful here at Walck Portraits!  We have had SO many great people in and out of our doors :)  This shoot with the Skivers is one of our favorites!

Joy came to me a few months back looking to plan a unique family photo session.  She is a photographer herself, so I knew I had to make something really great with the shoot!  We ended up picking a date in the winter with hopes of snow, and Mother Nature delivered!  
Check out some of their images with this slideshow!


The shoot was a little chilly, but that didn't phase this family!  The location was absolutely breath taking as well!  We went up to the hills behind Shinglehouse Pennsylvania, and found some beautiful roads, fences, and views of the valley.  The snow was actually falling so fast that visibility wasn't clear enough for a shot of said valley - but just enough to give the final images depth.
The image on the left is one of my favorites from this session.  Eddie (aka: Dad) has been working on his 57 Chevrolet for years with his dad.  He was having a tough time getting it started to pull it out of the garage, so while the car was on the charger and we were having a chat about the car, I loved the lighting that was happening...  so I snapped a quick image.  I only took 2 frames and I knew I had the shot.  Looking good Eddie!
After the shoot was over, we brought the Skivers back to our studio in Coudersport and went through all their final images.  We had originally planned to fill this wall (to the right) with images, and that is what we ended up doing.  They selected a collection that we call "The Stair Climber" - though the name implies its use is for a stairway, it really worked well in this space as their ceiling is angled.

Here at Walck Portraits in Coudersport Pennsylvania, not only do we help you plan the layout for your walls with special software in our studio, but once your order is complete, we install it for you.  The Skiver family was very pleased with their final product, and we are looking forward to working with them again!
"We are able to save a lot of time when installing the product we ordered. They came and put everything up for us rather quickly and it looked amazing!" - Joy Skiver


"Response time is great when scheduling a session.  All questions are answered as well. And prints take no time at all coming back as well as the editing time to see your images.  We did not even wait a week to come see ours.  Also they were helpful in deciding what is best to order for your home.  Response time is great when scheduling a session.   All questions are answered as well.  And prints take no time at all coming back as well as the editing time to see your images.  We did not even wait a week to come see ours.  Also they were helpful in deciding what is best to order for your home." - Joy Skiver

So You Want To Be A Photographer?

By Anonymous
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

By
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...

Cheri's "Rock Hunting" Portrait Experience

By
Although the idea didn't originate here (see the attached youtube video), our quaint hometown has had something epic going on for most of the summer - a rock hunting/painting/adventure. Coudersport Rocks On Many, many families have participated by painting and hiding rocks; spent time in the outdoors; and more importantly , spent quality time together.   It's been a fabulous and beautiful thing to witness. Local businesses have also joined in on the fun offering prize rocks  to those that are the first to find them.  Our family's business, Walck Portraits , built and decorated a camera rock.  We wanted to build awareness of the online community, promote families spending time together, and get our names out there as we are celebrating the opening of our new studio. Cheri's "Rock Hunting" Rock Hunting Portrait Experience A local, extended family found our rock and allowed us to photograph their Portrait Experience.  We had so much fun sharing...
