Your first step in the process is more about determining who you are, who your family is and then seeking a photographer that reflects your style. For instance let’s say your family is extremely outdoorsy and loves playing on the beach. You start determining what style you like, browse through photography website portfolios and determine if any of the styles exhibited there would be a good fit with your life and family style. You have already determined that you should probably seek out a beach type photographer (that is if you live near a beach) and then begin narrowing the field down a bit.

Finally after a bit of internet research, you have narrowed it down to two photographers who do what seems like solid work, the sort of outdoor beach look you desire. It is now time to ask yourself: Do you like photographer A’s style over photographer B’s style? Is it because the people in the images of A’s style are having a great time and it seems very caught up in the moment vs. B photographer more posed, looking in the camera images? If this is a case, you probably like LIFESTYLE photography or perhaps even take it a step further and define your desired style as a PHOTOJOURNALISTIC photography style. The photographer you probably should choose is photographer A because their style is very similar to the style you desire.

What custom photography ultimately is all about is choice and experience. Custom photography is about finding someone who will photograph your family, give you devoted 1:1 attention without worry of who is next ‘in line’ or the feeling of a crowded portrait studio.

A custom photographer will typically show you a fairly extensive gallery culled to only show the good images that meet the photographers’ creative sensibilities.
Often the images are fully edited images-color corrected with blemishes and undereye circles removed.
Custom photographers are also known as boutique studios, offering a range of products and unparalleled service. Think Lexus vs. Hyundai, think Nordstrom vs. WalMart.
A custom photography experience should have you, the client and your experience in mind.

Whether it is man-made in studio or nature-made outside we photographers manipulate it and tweek it, reflect it and curse it. Then there are times that we look at it straight on and Yield to it!!

This is a photo taken with my new lighting toy!!! Look closely at her eyes and you will see the “Ring of Light”.

But I have to say that I love the way the music fits with these and it was such a treat to have them out all the way from the Detroit area.

Hope you girls love this and your images are in the mail!!!

As you all watch your 2009 Senior Class graduate start your Senior Year off with some unique and FANTASTIC portraits.

Now enjoy the rest of the show………….

It has been for the last probably 4 years that my son has a tournament on Mothers Day weekend. This year was no exception but it was a local tournament so it meant for us to come home and sleep in our own beds!

This was a GREAT weekend of soccer {the weather could have cooperated a bit more but at least we only were rained on a bit and not a down-pour like last year}.

My son plays on a pretty competitive travel team called Vardar and I am pretty proud of them all….we took second place!

Here is some mega pics that I took of them in their glory!

Here is my son showing nice ball control.

Again, with a soft touch.

He is VERY good at hitting the ball and directing it with his head….

He is so good that his head hit the ball and someones head…this equals to a nose bleed.

BAD on my part that I couldn’t get the shot of the impact of the ball on his head…that shot elludes me!

This was SWEET….he had a ball thrown into him and he hit the ball behind him OVER the defender…..Oh YEAH!!

I am so glad his agility training has done him some good!

Another header…….

Thats all for now…this has been a full and busy weekend. Chaulked full of soccer—-LOVED IT!

I encourage you {the upcoming seniors for 2010} to find these girls in our school and get some info on our studio and what you can get when using us for your Senior Portraits.

We are not just about getting the shot but we are about making your Senior Portraits the most FUN, the most EXCITING, the most SPECIAL time you can have to start off your Senior Year.
