Sara, my very last 2012 senior, came in last month for her senior portrait session. Michelle Maw came over to do her make-up and hair. She did a great job at bringing out Sara's natural beauty. :) Here's a look at just a few of my favorites:
Best wishes to you as you head off to college this fall, Sara!! :)
Last fall I had the pleasure of working with a lot of fun teens who were just starting their senior year. One of them was the beautiful miss Brittney. When they first met with me prior to the session, her mom had said she always wanted a canvas for the wall. Before delivering it to her, I took a few minutes to photograph it so that you can see how gorgeous a canvas wall portrait can be.
The color and clarity is spectacular due to the exceptionally tight weave of the canvas!
The depth on these are 1.5" and they are called a gallery wrap since the image wraps around the sides of the inner frame. However, Brittany's mom chose to have a solid band of color along the edges.
The back is finished with a tyvek style paper and hardware already attached, making this a "ready to hang" product.
There are many sizes available, as small as 12x12 and as large as 40x60.....custom sizes are also available. If you need help deciding on a size or putting together a wall cluster of several different canvases, I'm more than happy to help. When working with a professional photographer, these are the types of options you can expect to be made available to you! :)
Are you a 2013 grad? Ready to book your own senior portrait session? The summer session slots book up fast as I only take on a limited number each year. To guarantee you don't miss out, please be sure to contact me by clicking the "Book a Session" link below. :)
With the new senior portrait season getting underway, now is the time for the graduating class of 2012 to start referring friends who will be graduating in 2013.
The Cash for Friends Referral Program provides cash incentives to former clients for each friend who is referred to the studio and purchases a senior portrait package. You, as a former client, will receive $10 per 2013 student. Yes, that's right - cold, hard cash paid directly to you for each 2013 friend you send to the studio.
All you need to do to ensure you receive your cash payment is to have your friend mention your name at the time of booking their session. A running tally will be kept here at the studio and you may call here to check on the status of your incentives at any time. Payments will be made twice this year - once at the end of September and again at the end of December. That cash will certainly come in handy as you start your first semester of college! :)
Last night I went over to LeMoyne college to watch the swim meet between our local Cicero North Syracuse team and Baldwinsville. What a blast! I've been itching to get into doing more sports photography, especially since most of the senior guys are into that. Luckily, I had met Billy's mom a few months ago and she told me to come on out. :)
Let me tell you, shooting sports is challenging. But swimming....wow - very very hard. Not only are the lighting conditions not all that great, but using a flash is frowned upon too. Add in the intense speed at which these young athletes are swimming and it makes for a very challenging shoot. I took nearly 100 shots in the hour I was there and, despite most of them being in focus, it was hard to tell who the swimmer was as the water splashed so magnificently around them. But I'm thrilled with the shots I did get and am pleased to report that Billy broke our school record for diving with a 291. Amazing!! Take a look:
There are some more images from this swim meet on the Facebook fan page. Stop by and leave some love for Billy!!
Are you a high school athlete? Want photos of yourself "in action"? Drop me a note and we'll get you on the calendar. :)
Phew - I'm a little bit behind in my blogging as I've been too busy getting ready for the holidays. This session was done a few weeks ago with Taylor. I wanted to do a studio version of a rocker chick and had brought up my husband's guitar and amp to help as props. Make-up was done by Michelle Maw and Taylor did her own hair.
We also decided to do a softer look.
Thanks, Taylor, for a super fun session and to Michelle for the awesome make-up.
Yesterday I met up with a small group of photographers, models, make-up artist and hair stylist over at another studio. The theme was "holiday beauty". We did a high key lighting set with a beauty dish - something I've wanted to try for a long time. While I did enjoy the experience, I don't think I'm in any rush to get a beauty dish (which is good for my wallet - LOL). Lakisa Renee did the make-up, Mrs. Nesci did the hair, and we had two models - the two Taylors. Today's post features Taylor Nesci, a local high school senior. I'll post the other Taylor's images another day (still have to process them).
Thanks so much for a fun afternoon. I'm looking forward to another get together in 2012.
Ashley volunteered to come to the studio the other day so I could get some cheerleading images to add to my high school senior portfolio. She is quite an amazing gymnast/athlete and has cheered since she was just 5 years old. The CNY Cheer Team is where she did competitive cheerleading and this team won Nationals 3 years in a row. Pretty amazing!
If you are a cheerleader, or have a tween or teen who is participating in school cheerleading or competition team cheerleading, be sure to contact me about setting up your own personal session.
Thanks for coming in, Ashley - always a pleasure working with you. :)
A couple weeks ago, Sara's mom called to see if I still had any openings for senior portraits. My schedule has been pretty filled up but we worked out a date and I am sooo glad we did. Sara was a lot of fun to work with and so at ease in front of the camera. She brought along her iPod with Adele's music loaded up and a lot of great outfits. Here's a look at just a few of my favorites from her senior portrait session:
And my absolute fave is getting printed up for the studio. I just LOVE how beautifully her clothing works with the autumn colors.
Best wishes to you in your senior year, Sara!! :)
Last week I had the pleasure of working with Brittany, a local high school senior. Before her session, her orthodontist offered to take her braces off which I thought was pretty awesome. Her teeth look terrific!
Her session included both outside and in studio. With the number of outfits she brought we had a lot of variety which was great! And she got her session completed just before the last of the leaves fell off the trees out back. Phew - that was a close one!
Thanks so much, Brittany, for a fun afternoon and best wishes for your senior year!!! :)
