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.

Alicia and Michael's Wedding

Here is a sneak peak at Alicia and Michael's wedding. They had awesome weather and overall just a spectacular wedding at the AquaTurf.





Tom had a lot of time with Michael and the groomsmen, which was quite nice. I usually have time with the ladies, but it is a treat that he got a bunch of images of the men being men before the wedding...



I just LOVE this couch! We have photos of Alicia alone and Michael looking at Alicia on this couch -- ooh! aahh!



We are now carrying thses great little 3x3 accordion albums. There are 10 photos in the accordion album with a magnetic closure. They make great gifts and people love to carry them around with them!

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.

You can view the rest of the photographs that we took of her here:

Anne Marie

We photographed Anne Marie's wonderful kids this weekend, wait 'til you see them -- they are great! We had so much fun with them in the studio! Luke was a doll, doing pretty much everything his big sister did!

But at one point I had both kids in the second camera room with the Westcot constant lights and Tom managed to squeak in a half dozen images of Mom alone.

Check these out!



We will be sharing the images of Ava and Luke later, stay tuned!

We love photographing models and actors and offer a variety of portrait packages just for them to help them build their portfolio. Meet Joel...an actor that loves complicated roles and enjoys stepping outsi of his personality to become the character.

I love the scarf -- great prop...

His B&W images are just amazing -- I love em!

Tom T

Tom and I had so much fun photographing Tom. He was in our studio (and the hall and the stairs) for hours. We tried different outfits, different lighting, different backgrounds, etc. Boy did we have fun!

I used a new program to create this composite. I love the way that it allows you to create different collages. Way to go Moirai!

TomT silhouetted

I have been having soooo much fun with silhouettes lately! Here are two more!

High Key Fashion

I am not one to usually take photos with someone's eyes closed but her face and its symmetry and her eye lashes just compelled me to take this one. I made 14 different versions of it I liked it so much. Here is the original and three artistic renditions. I will be posting more of her soon...with her eyes open of course, LOL...

Daria Silhouette

I am behind on my posting. I am going to try to get caught up...

Meet Daria -- LOTS of energy and passion. Wow! What fun to photograph!

I took lots of photos of her, in a couple of different outfits. You will see more of her, but here are a few silhouettes to get started. Enjoy!
