Meet Liz

Hello and Happy 4th of July Weekend! We hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend.

Liz was in the studio yesterday with her family and we captured some great portraits. It’s always great to see new faces but we have seen this family a few times now. We photographed Liz’s sister Sam in the recent past and we get to see their mom, Debbie, down at the Art Center frequently. We really appreciate the support and friendship!

Now, to get the weekend started let’s look at a few of our favorites from yesterday. You did an amazing job Liz – Thank You!

We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

More favorites!

Hey there! Hopefully everyone is doing well and enjoying summer. Things here in the studio are warming up despite our recent cool & wet weather. Child portraits are still in full swing and the phone is ringing off the hook for High School Senior portraits. We love this time of year!

Now, on to the portraits! Below are a few of our recent favorites. Hope you enjoy.

Finally……

….we have taken more photos of Kamryn! We had a few great ideas but she was having an ‘off’ day No matter, we still captured some great portraits! 

Every year our yard starts out as a field of dandelions. It only lasts for a few weeks so we let the grass (aka dandelions) get really long so we could use them for her portraits. In this process we learned a few things that we can’t wait to try next year. Enjoy the photos!

 

We also want to share a few recent (and favorite) newborn portraits. This session was fantastic and we captured so many moments that we just love. Hope you enjoy!

Maternity

Hello everyone! I hope this finds you happy and doing well Things around here are great and looking better than ever. Tanja and Kamryn finally (!) get back in town today. It’s been a long 3 weeks. 

Last week I received a call from someone asking to see more maternity portraits here. Well, ask and you shall receive! I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely Mom-to-be the other day. Actually, as of 2 days ago, she is a Mom! Congratulations Lisa! We took these portraits just in time. Lisa is a sure natural in front of the camera and we took some amazing portraits. Here are just a few of many. 

Thanks for looking and I look forward to your thoughts and comments!

Fairbanks Lady Grizzlies!

This past weekend we had the opportunity and pleasure to photograph the Fairbanks Lady Grizzlies for their new and upcoming calendar. What an awesome (and long!) day. The studio seemed to get really small with 15 or so women, bags and bags full of clothes, hair and makeup artists and one guy with a camera (me!). All the ladies were fantastic to photograph and the camera loved them. Of course, with everything happening so fast I didn’t get to spend much time with any one person but my experience with everyone was great.

I want to thank Ricky and Teresa Bertz and the Fairbanks Grizzlies for trusting me with such a responsibility. Most of all I want to thank the Fairbanks Lady Grizzlies for all their time, hard work and patience. I look forward to working with all of you again! 

It’s hard to call these my favorites since we took so many amazing photos. We’ll call these my ‘initial’ favorites. Also, there was a bit of a ‘Pin up” theme to these. For now, enjoy the portraits and I look forward to any comments you may have

More Friends and Favorites!

Hey fellow Blog readers! We’re back this week with more portraits to share. More friends, new stories and great photos. Hopefully everyone is making it through the last bit of winter ok. Tanja and I are really anxious to get outside this year. The recent warm temperatures have  seriously given us spring fever. Yesterday my parents were talking about how it has been raining for 4 days (in North Carolina). While that seems like a bummer to them I can’t wait to smell rain and fresh cut grass! Not to mention filling the vegetable gardens and flower gardens. Fresh peas! Beets! Carrots and potatoes! Whew, ok, back to work Enjoy the portraits and we look forward to seeing everyone again soon!

2009 Women’s Affair

We want to thank everyone for coming out to see us this past weekend at the Carlson Center. We really enjoy being at the Women’s Affair every year and getting to see so many people. This year we were able to show some brand new things. The ‘4 Ply Canvas Panel’ was a huge hit. Of course, we love it since they are portraits of Kamryn! Our new albums were also getting a lot of attention. Everyone must have enjoyed them because they are covered in finger prints!

I also received an amazing compliment yesterday. A man came up to me an introduced himself as someone who has a degree in fine arts. His definition of a great piece of art is something that catches your eye, draws you in and then rewards you while you take in all the details and aspects of the piece. I had a 30 inch canvas wrap of a baby on our wall. He said that piece gave him that reward. I replied with a very humble “Thank you very much”. Actually, I think I said that 3 or 4 times! 

We look forward to seeing everyone again soon!

 

This is our new ‘4 Ply Canvas Wrap Panel’ – It consists of 4 individual 10 inch canvas wraps.

Claire….

….is a photographer in her own right. She said she did her homework on choosing a photographer and decided on us. The pressure was on when we met her Her session was planned with outfits, props and a direction she wanted the portraits to go. We love moments like that! She also brought samples of her work that were both technically and creatively well done. I’m certain she’ll do well with her career. We look forward to seeing more of your work but for now…..here’s some of ours!  :)
