I did a little "photography" rant...

...over on my personal blog.  It is Photography related, so I wanted to share it with you here too! :)

You can find it HERE.

Have a great day!

attention photographers :: repost of family picture idea

I put this up on my personal blog, but in case I have followers here that aren't there, I thought I would repost for you all to see too!

I have a thought.  I am a photographer.  I know many photographers.  The common thread I find is, as photographers, we have MASSIVE amounts of pictures of our little ones and our spouse.  However, I have yet to find a MASSIVE amount of pictures I am in (partially because i don't like to be in pictures). I want to get nice family photos, however I don't want to pay for something I can do myself!  

I think I found the solution.  What about a photographer's meet up and exchange?  Like if we all meet up - take pictures of each family, have a shared Flickr account where we can all upload our edited images and then make them all available for downloading?  In addition, we can upload all the copyrighted ones too for Facebook advertising and whatnot.

What do you say?  Good idea or not?  Win-Win in my book!  Select number of photographers obviously and by "invite-only"?

Input?

I love to give ideas - because I love to receive ideas!  I found a great photographer that has some GREAT clothing ideas.  Had to share them for you all as you are preparing for your Fall Family Shoots!

You can see her original post HERE - and while you are there take a peek around.  She is fantastic!

But for now, check this out:

I hope this helps you prepare for your family photo sessions!

I had a great time taking pictures of this fun and energetic family.  See for yourself, just beautiful little boys and beautiful parents.

Here is a sneak peak at my adventure.  Enjoy!

Fall Mini Sessions :: This weekend!

I have had a couple people ask if I was doing mini sessions this year.  So, let's do it!

Here are the details:

Fall Mini Session
Price :: $75

Date :: Saturday, October 29

Time :: Sessions will be 20 minutes.  I will be booking on the half hour starting at 9:00 am and ending at noon.  If these slots fill, I will add additional times.

Location :: Location TBD but will either be in Jenison or Byron Center.  These mini sessions will ALL be at the same location.  Once booked, I'll confirm location with you. :)

Additional Details :: You will get 10 images on a disc with copyrights, black and white as well as color. I will also include my photographer's release so you can print your own pictures.

Good Idea For :: Christmas Card Pictures, Updated Family Pictures, Yearly kid pictures to name a few...
