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!

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 ...

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...
