Hannah & Dave's Newborn Photoshoot Experience

Just a few short weeks ago we took a ride over to meet Hannah & Dave at the Roulette Pa fire hall to make some fun maternity images with the fire trucks. Within a few days Louis made his grand entrance into the world! He is a sweet, super easy to work with and 100% adorable little man.

Hannah & Dave brought a bunch of fun props, like a fire hose, helmets, boots, fire coats - all the gear! So we got creative and came up with some fun ways to use them and pose. I had to do some improvising with the firehose - its much heavier than you may expect, and also not as squishy as a newborn may like. For those reasons I used wood clamps to position the hose into a nest, then we used a warm comfy beanbag as a base for easy baby posing with a super soft blanket on top - finally we added in the superstar of the shoot!

Once their session was over, we brought them back to the shop to check out all the images so they could place their order. They ended up getting a few framed gift pieces, a 10x20'' metal print, and a sweet metal print collage!

I just installed their collage today, which matches their fireman themed nursery with a super cute J made out of fire hose in the center! This was a really fun family portrait shoot!

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...

Cheri's "Rock Hunting" Portrait Experience

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...
