Our Style and Sessions

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

What is our style and how do we do our sessions?

We are not your traditional photographers. We specialize in on-location natural light photography capturing candid moments at your choice of location – contemporary photojournalistic style. We are laid back and casual and try not to direct poses. We don’t like to be intrusive or forcing you into any uncomfortable and uncharacteristic poses. We capture personalities with unusual and different creative perspectives allowing for the freedom and independence of being yourself while interacting with the world and your family – sincerity and genuineness in every photo. Then we turn it into a fabulous piece of art for you and your family to enjoy and pass down.

Your choice of location can mean the comfort of your backyard or it can mean something more rural or urban. Whatever you have in mind. If you don’t have anything in mind, we have several places we can recommend based on your preferences.

We recommend scheduling morning or afternoon sessions when the sun is not harsh. We also recommend you wear solid colors…nothing distracting like logos, stripes or cartoon characters. Keep it simple and please do feel comfortable in your own style! If one of your children wants to wear a tutu with cowboy boots…whatever makes her feel comfortable. The more different the better!

We shoot 2-3 hours or whatever it takes to get the shots you want with two photographers with two different styles. We attempt to go above and beyond to make your photographs a special moment in your family’s lives and that we will guarantee! If you are not happy with your prints we replace them free of charge.

If it rains or someone in your party is ill we will reschedule.

In addition to family and children’s portraits, we do maternity and newborn sessions, weddings, seniors and pets. We also do trash the dress sessions for brides and seniors, event photography, modeling portfolios and boudoir sessions. If you have something in mind that we haven’t listed send us an email.

Trash the Dress Sessions

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Have a special dress that is just sitting in your closet gathering mold or smothering in plastic? A wedding or prom dress? We have ideas…a rural or urban setting, water, arched rustic bridges, fields of wild flowers, waterfalls, wild sprawling trees, abandoned buildings, rail stations…imagine those as the backdrop of you in your dress. We can turn those fabulous photographs into works of fine art for you to gift to your husband and hand down to your children.

We can work with you if you have little or no budget. We believe that beautiful fine art portraits should be available and affordable to all.

We can offer you portfolio books in addition to fine art prints including gallery wraps and standouts.
