Since the first portion of Amanda's session took place in some harsh January weather, we met again for another outdoor session in some milder weather.
Whew! Studio dance photos are available now.
I'd like to thank all of you who were involved in picture weekend. We took more photos than ever before and still finished on schedule. Your patience during the process was greatly appreciated. I hope you enjoy looking at the proofs that have been uploaded; they are divided into a Friday gallery and a Saturday gallery (password required). Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.
Amanda - Harrisburg senior (pt 2)
Here are a few more of my favorites from Amanda's session.
Rachel (on-location)
While in Ohio, I had the opportunity to take some senior photos for Rachel, whom I've known since she was a baby! This was the first time I've done a senior session for someone I've known that long. As you can see, she found some great places around town and at a nearby farm where we could take some pictures.
Amanda - Harrisburg senior
One thing I liked about shooting with Amanda was that she wanted to include an item from her family's photography heritage in her session. One of her images includes both a jacket and a lens that belonged to her grandfather during his time in the military.
Not an album, and not a wall portrait
I've been offering these image folios for a few months now, and I really like them. They're a nice compromise between an album and a wall portrait. They can be made with a fabric, leather, or printed cover. When you place your next order, be sure to check out our cover swatches so you can see the variety of designs available.
Gabbi - Harrisburg senior
Although Gabbi is attending school outside of the Harrisburg area this year, she came back for her senior portrait session. She is a photographer herself, and was a pleasure to work with.
The Peck family - Perry County portrait
The Pecks invited me to their farm to capture a portrait during a family gathering. One feature of the farm is a great old barn. They were a great family to work with, and the barn provided a perfect backdrop for their portrait.
Alex - Central Dauphin senior
Alex is a local senior who limited his session to the studio, yet brought enough ideas that there was a lot of variety in his portraits. Shown here are the composites I put together for his image folio.
Brienne - Camp Hill senior
Brienne is a senior from Camp Hill who was a pleasure to work with. There were a lot of great photos from her session; these are my five favorites.
Sam - Mechanicsburg senior
I've known Sam for a few years, and it was a pleasure to work with him on his senior portrait. We had a good time chatting, and he can do an extreme eyebrow raise the likes I've not seen before.
Don't be held captive!
When it's time to choose your senior portrait photographer, you may feel pressured to use whomever your school recommends. Or you may end up at a studio that shoots with the same sets as everyone else, resulting in senior pictures that look like everyone else's!At Long Shots Photography, we offer on-location shoots in addition to studio shoots. That means you choose the location, or we can help you choose from a number of unique spots that will help make your photos stand out. We still have a few senior sessions available this summer. Give us a call before we're completely booked!
Legacy!
The Studio had another great show last month, and I had the opportunity to take photos at the dress rehearsals. Studio families can view and purchase their favorites at a reduced rate.I also recently completed the DVD of the show, and we're doing something new with it this year. This Saturday, we'll be having a premier viewing of the DVD at Midtown Cinema! This will also provide you with an opportunity to take home your DVD (which includes both performances) early if you ordered in advance. Order your tickets now, and we'll see you this weekend. Also, feel free to contact me if you've not yet ordered your DVD.
Happy Memorial Day!
Since it's been awhile since I posted, I thought I'd share some of my photos from this spring.
Another great Studio shoot
Thank you to the Studio dancers and families who helped us have another successful spring photo session. We had to expand to an extra night this year, but with your cooperation we stayed on schedule.
Galleries are divided by which evening your dancer has class: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. If your child's class was combined with another, you may find her pictures on the other evening's gallery. A few of the galleries that combined students from several classes (e.g., the cover shot and Peter and the Wolf) are found in the Monday gallery.
We're offering packages this year. Those options can be found by clicking "Buy" next to your photo choice, then selecting "Package from this Pro".
I'm grateful for your assistance and hope you enjoy your photographs.
More from the Myers shoot
A couple more photos from the recent shoot I'd like to share:
On location with a great fireplace...
Not to mention a great family. I had the pleasure of photographing the Myers family at their home. Their fireplace served as a great background for their portraits, and I was pleased with the results.
Happy New Year!
My thanks to you for your business in 2009. I hope you had an excellent holiday season, and that you enjoy a fabulous new year!
2009 Holiday Cards
I wanted to share some of my favorite holiday card designs from this year. These are the covers for the cards; some are two-sided and others are folding cards. All of these and more are available (including the designs here).
Holiday photos from The Studio available
I owe my thanks again to the Studio families for their cooperation during our biggest holiday shoot ever. I'm grateful for the help you provided, which allowed us to stay on schedule and keep the dancers happy.Visit the Tuesday night, Wednesday night, and Thursday night galleries at your convenience. You can place your order there. If you're interested in holiday cards, you can view some of the available samples online or see Vicki for some additional designs.
