The many facets of Paris

Pairs came in for her portfolio builder photo session with a MUA/Stylist and lots of clothing choices. we had an awesome session with her and took LOTS of photographs. The portfolio builder session differs from a regular model session in that it is designed to really enhance your portfolio overnight. Most photo sessions involve one or two changes of clothes, but the portfolio builder session involves different lighting and different backgrounds to compliment each of the multiple outfits. This way the images in your portfolio makes it appear that you have been to numerous photo sessions rather than just one session with one photographer.

You can see many more images from her session here in her gallery on our website.

Bruce

Meet Bruce...



I just love that opening image -- looks like an album cover!

You can see more images of Bruce in his gallery on our website

Here is the same dramatic image processed three different ways.

We do offer a variety of modeling packages -- from a simple one session modeling portrait session to a 'change with me' package and another (portfolio in a day) designed to quickly build up your portfolio.

Breanna in her junior prom dress

We photographed Breanna this weekend in the dress she wore to the Junior Prom. Wow!

Ava and Luke

Meet Ava and Luke -- two absolutely adorable children. Ava is just the right amount of precious and Luke shadows her and does everything that she does! Ava is also quite the conversationalist and I enjoyed talking with her.

I know this is cliche, but don't you just want to pinch these little cheeks...



We really had fun with Ava -- she was so personable and easy to photograph.

The stairs are usually a big hit.



Look at this young man...you can just see the mischief in his eyes, all the time, not just in this photo. I bet he gives momma a run for her money ;-) too cute!

so expressive -- perhaps she will be a senator, an orator or an actress when she grows up.

We like the traditional images and the fun images but also enjoy creating something different too.

This next image was processed and at the end "hot fudge with a cherry" was applied. I love it!

I love Ava's smile, but we were pleased to capture many of her expressions in the Studio.

This next photo was processed in two different ways, one an artistic simplify and the other an HDR simulator.

Meet Kayla

We photographed Kayla in our Studio so that we could create a signature photograph for her upcoming Quinceanera. Her Sweet 15 ceremony and party afterwards will be in a few weeks and we are looking forard to photographing this wonderful young lady as she becomes an adult.

We took LOTS of photos of Kayla, she brought two dresses with her too! It was very difficult to find favorites because I liked so many!

Here is the 11x14 (matted to 16x20) photograph that will be placed in the signature mat for everyone to sign -- you can see that she liked a good number of photos and we created a composite signature photograph for her rather than the typical one large 11x14 image.

Amanda

Meet Amanda -- a budding photographer! Amanda saw our display and called us up and will be working with us on some of our weddings and portrait shoots. She came to a recent wedding at the Aquaturf and helped Tom while he photographed the groomsmen before the wedding and the bride and groom after the wedding. She was a big help so it was a win-win for both sides!

I love the juxtaposition of these two center images -- she looks intense on the left one and so happy and fun on the right on. I think that we captured many aspects of her personality.

Hazel and Dave

Tom had a LOT of fun photographing Hazel and Dave! They both were very involved in the process and I think Dave gave Tom some useful feedback too. I know that Tom would love to have them back in the studio for more photos.

Charles and Family

We photographed Charles, Cheryl, Elli and Ally -- what beautiful girls! wow!!

I just love the expressions on the girls faces. They came in dressed so beautifully and the colors worked just great with our background too.

When it comes to nature photography 99% of my photographs are color, but when it comes to people I still tend to be drawn to Black and White. It just shows the soul of the person.

There were sooo many great expressions -- I could not decide upon just one favorite so I just had to make this montage!
