The Boka's Newborn Session

There is something magical about black and white photography, espicially when the subject is a newborn!

Abby and Wayne did a beautiful job at their portrait session. Posing was a breeze, and we were lucky that Charolette was happy and sleeping the entire time! We couldn't have asked for an easier newborn shoot :)

The Boka family is signed up with our "Grow With Me" experience, which is a photography package designed to document a newborn's first year off life, starting with a maternity session. It includes: Maternity, Newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 1 year sessions. The big gem at the end of these packages is the art that comes with them. With all of these photo sessions, we hand craft a "First Year Of Life" baby album, using hand crafted materials that are designed to last a lifetime. We also include a crib display, which is a three piece collage designed to hang above the crib and then easily moveable to other parts of the home.

For the Boka family, we are all ready set to shoot their 3 month session this coming Monday! WOW how time flies! We can't wait to see how much Charolette has grown, and espicially can't wait to create another magical image set :)

Liz Valentine's Headshot Session

As always, we had a blast with Liz! Her fun, happy, energetic personality is SO contagious! Liz is the owner/operator of Studio V Media & Photography in Port Allegany, and we often work together, weather we are taking pictures for each other's families, talking "shop", or just hanging out for some fun. For this shoot, Liz has just become the proud new owner of a Cannon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. If you don't know what that means - it is a REALLY BIG LENS that EVERY photographer wants, and once they have it... it becomes part of their family. Its generally one of the most favorited pieces of glass ever created - so, yes, it is worth getting a photo shoot for yourself to celebrate the occasion!

Competition? What Competition?

Photography Often, we are asked how we make our photography business thrive when there are so many competitors out there, especially in a rural and isolated location like ours. Sure, there are mom-togs, those who do it for a hobby, those who undercut our prices, those that far out price us, those that offer downloads, free prints, etc., etc. After all, in a boutique business like ours, people are going to either love our work or hate it. They're either going to come to us or go somewhere else. That's okay. We're here to help those people that love our style, our personalities, and our art. Sometimes what we offer doesn't fit the customer's choice. That is okay. Hopefully we can help them out in some other way. Perhaps we can give them guidance on what to wear , a checklist for wedding preparations , or even recommendations for a colleague that might suit them better. TOP: The Walck Family Captured by ...

Black and White - Conversion VS Infrared, See the Difference.

Digital Black and white photography can be created through many techniques. You could use the Instagram app and click a pre-made filter, use a more advanced software program like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop, convert it directly inside your camera body, screw on an infrared filter to the front of your lens and convert it to black and white post production, or convert a camera to only capture infrared light. Today I'm just going to explore my two favorite methods: 1) Using an infrared converted camera. 2) Converting images in Adobe Lightroom. So what is the difference between the two methods? A color image that is converted to black and white allows you lots of control over each color channel. This is handy if you want to make different colors stand out by being brightened or darkened in your final black and white image. An image that is captured from infrared light has much less control over colors as the only colors captured are tones of red. Ho...
