STUDIO MOVING SALE!

We’ve relocated the studio. Not an easy task – ever (this is our 5th location in 26 years). What made this one so tough was that we’ve moved into a smaller space, so we had to make some tough decisions about what we could keep and what needed to be left behind. Well, we’ve about [...]

Senior Versatility

High School Seniors are always encouraged to bring several looks and outfits to their session. Kaylee did just that. Here she is, elegant as ever in her prom dress, as well as having a bit of fun in something casual. Two absolutely different looks that worked! Thanks Kaylee!

WE’RE OPEN!!!

You want to know what moving a photography studio is like? Imagine changing Halloween costumes while riding a motorcycle… after a few glasses of wine… Oh yes, it’s that intense. HOWEVER, we’re pleased to report no lives were lost (a few other things are still missing), and we are now in our new digs at 11738 N. [...]

Jessica Frech’s Star is Rising

Over the Christmas holidays I noticed a Hyundai commercial with a young, pretty, guitar playing, singer. Intrigued by the sound and curious if she was really playing that guitar or just an actress faking it, I did a bit of Goggling and found Jessica Frech. Turns out Jessica is quite the YouTube sensation. She’s a 20 [...]

Passport Photos for Any Country

In my early years of business, we owned a “passport camera.” It was a Polaroid. We only did a few passports and immigration photos in a given week. One day the camera broke. It was going to be very expensive to replace that camera and would take quite a while of doing passports to cover the cost, thus, we quit doing passports. [...]

Executive Board

Sometimes, everything falls into place, but the place is all wrong. In this case, the Executive Board for Corporate Financial Associates out of California, looked spectacular, but… the curtains were the wrong color, they didn’t close or extend far enough, there was a wall on the left that crowded the image, the chairs were so orange it hurt [...]

“It’s funny because it’s true!”… Homer Simpson

Sent to me by a very good friend, I’m not even going to comment on this chart, except to say that however exaggerated it might be, it accurately reflects the mindset of a majority of long-time professional photographers in my industry.

PPA Convention Provides Inspiration

Kaye and I just returned from a long weekend in New Orleans, attending the 133rd annual convention of the Professional Photographers of America. Photography conventions have always been a source of inspiration for me, beginning with programming by industry leaders, a world-class tradeshow, and an extremely large International print exhibit. But the most inspiring part of this weekend were [...]

2012 Outback Bowl

What a game! Michigan State over Georgia 33-30 in triple overtime! This is our fifth year shooting images for the Outback Bowl committee. This year they surprised us by putting our name in lights! What an awesome honor, and what a great way to kick off 2012!

Welcome Back to Quality

An observation over the last few months… Welcome Back! We’ve seen many returning clients recently who, as a result of a sour economy over the last two years, had responded to another photographer’s Groupon ad or just hired a brand new photographer who practically gave their work away in exchange for experience. As has become the norm for newcomers [...]
