Josh is a soccer player and snowboarder. He requested a selective color treatment for one of his snowboard photos, and I think it was a good choice.

Rachel is a Studio dancer and tennis player, and we incorporated both interests into her senior session. She brought a lot of ideas and enthusiasm to her session, and was great to work with.
Rachel is a Another set gone
Austin, a 2014 graduate, wanted to have some of his senior portraits in an urban setting. Luckily, we were able to capture this one just a few days before the work on the Mulberry Bridge in Harrisburg resulted in it being torn down.Here are a few others from his session:
The sun is setting on some great photo gear...
From time to time, I have to part with some of my photo gear to make room for new items. Such is the case right now. I'm selling the SLR I've been using for the past few years, along with some great creative lenses (you've seen some of the photos taken with them in previous posts). If you're interested, you can check them out at the following links:Canon 5D Mk II digital SLRLensBaby Composer lensTamron 28-300mm zoom lensTamron 90mm f/2.8 1:1 macro lensSigma 50mm f/1.4 prime lensTokina 12-24mm f/4 wide angle zoom lens
Studio DVDs are ready!
You'll be able to pick up DVDs from The Studio's spring performance beginning tomorrow (July 14). For the first time, we're offering the discs in Blu-Ray format. The price is the same as for a normal DVD, with the added advantages of being in high definition and having a more durable finish. Even if you already ordered a standard DVD, you can switch it for a Blu Ray if you'd like.Thank you for your support. I hope you enjoy watching!
No laughing matter - Studio dance pics are live!
Many thanks to all those Studio families who participated in our Spring 2014 photo sessions. You can view your dancer's photos in the Studio galleries (password required). I hope you enjoy them! Galleries are divided up by class to ease your searching.
Goodbye to one of my favorite spots
You may have noticed in my previous post about The Studio's Tenth Anniversary Calendar that one month was missing. I saved that photo for this post, because the location we used was one of my favorite spots in the area to shoot, and it's now buried. Here's one last photo as a tribute.
Coming soon: The Studio 2014 calendar
A couple months ago, I had the opportunity to work with a number of dancers and parents from The Studio to put together their 2014 calendar. We did some photos in the Studio, and others at locations nearby (including one that no longer exists - details will appear in an upcoming post). The dancers all did a great job (as you can see). It was a fun project, and I enjoyed being a part of it. Half of the proceeds will benefit the Studio's scholarship fund, and they'll be on sale in early November.
Long Shots photos in Central Penn Parent Magazine
It's been a busy summer. In addition to expanding The Studio and redesigning our galleries, we did some special photo shoots. One took place in a variety of locations around Harrisburg and is currently under wraps (I'll provide more details later). The other took place at the Ronald McDonald House in Hershey, and the photos appeared in the September issue of Central Penn Parent Magazine. The Studio's community service project this year will benefit the Ronald McDonald House, and we were happy to play a role in that.
Studio Spring 2013 dance photos posted!
Thank you, Studio families, for another good weekend of dance photos. With your help, everything progressed smoothly, and I hope you're pleased with the results. This year, we divided the galleries by age group rather than evening; I hope this makes it easier for you to find your dancers.Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and enjoy the photos!
Aubrey - Camp Hill senior
A couple years ago, Aubrey helped out with her older sister's senior portraits. I was happy for the opportunity to work with Aubrey this year on her own session. She chose a couple locations that I hadn't used before, and I was pleased with the results.

Erin - Boiling Springs Class of 2013
Erin, a senior from Boiling Springs, brought some great ideas to her shoot, and even included her dog. Here are some favorites from her session; stay tuned for more next week.
Ice time
I was able to sneak in one more Class of 2012 senior session. Cain is a senior at Susquenita, and he plays hockey. Since I'm a hockey fan, I welcomed the opportunity to take some photos of him in his gear. We wish him the best of luck during the last few days of his senior year, and as he begins the next chapter of his life.
Stable session
Before last month, I'd not had the opportunity to do a portrait session in a stable. Luckily, Anna wanted some of her photos to be taken there, and I was happy to oblige.
Woo hoo! 2012 Studio dance photos are ready for order!
Studio dance parents, you can now order this year's photos from the usual location. Talk to Jennifer or Vicki if you need the password. Prices are the same as last year, and the same three packages are available as well.To make browsing easier this year, we split the photos into four galleries. One is for the photos taken Friday evening (April 13). The other galleries are designated by the day the classes take place: There is a Tuesday gallery, a Wednesday gallery, and a Mon/Thu gallery.Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and enjoy looking at the photos!
Kaitlyn - Harrisburg senior
Kaitlyn has a great sense of humor, and as you can see she was even open to having her portrait taken with Blinky (as well as a few other places around town). She's a future writer, and we with her luck as she pursues that.
Phoebe - Mechanicsburg senior
Phoebe is a talented dancer and singer, and we tried to incorporate those interests in her shoot. She was also the first senior I worked with who wanted the outdoor portion of her shoot in Boiling Springs, and I was happy to oblige. Like her brother, Phoebe was a pleasure to work with.
Megan - Susquenita Senior
Megan's senior session gave me the opportunity to shoot in a location I'd never tried before: A gymnastics studio. We conquered the challenges involved in getting light stands to stay up on varied pads, and wound up with some good shots there, around town, and in the studio.
Caitlin - Harrisburg senior
Caitlin's session provided the opportunity to shoot at Italian Lake in Harrisburg for the first time. She's a great subject, as I knew from prior sessions, and we wish her the best of luck as she begins her college studies!
