Emily's Back!

Emily came back to model for us this summer. She was one of the girls who braved the 10 degree days of this last winter to do some Rock the Frock Promo shots for us. We asked her then if she would come back again in the summer. Since Ed had all these masks, we figured she would be great for that. Who other than a dancer would have all the costumy types of outfits we would need for these types of images?

Our intern, Harley, was working with Ed on this shoot. She held the reflector and flashes and such for him while he shot. She was also there to help tease Ed as he worked. We always need help for that!

Senior Rep - Kim

Kim is our latest senior rep from Wallenpaupack High School. She is our only rep from Paupack right now, so we do still have room for more!

I've known Kim a few years from soccer. She even missed a World Cup game to come over. But, we had it playing on the big screen for her mom.

I had an idea of what we wanted to do with her before we got her here. We did a few indoor shots, then moved outside to do some lazy outdoor summer shots. I love the feel of these field images! Kim did a great job!

If you go to Wallenpaupack, look for Kim to get a rep card from her. You will receive 16 free wallets with your order!

Arabesque Academy of Dancing

Most of May found us at the Arabesque Academy of Dancing. We were there to shoot candids of the kids as they had dance class. We also came in to do their class and individual photos. Then, we went to the recital to get some candids there as well.

We love coming into this studio. There is a great group of kids here. We love getting to know them and seeing all of their hard work pay off in the end.

This year, we went a different way with some of the group photos. The instructor's group decided to move outside. We LOVE LOVE LOVE this shot! Thanks Amy and all the kids for having us! We can't wait to do it again!

2011 Senior Reps

As you may know, we do things a little differently around here when it comes to seniors. We have Senior Reps. Simply explained, these kids represent our studio. They come to us in the spring of their Junior year. We do a free mini shoot with them so we can get images to use for marketing. We then make business cards with the Rep's image on them. They pass these cards out to their friends. For every card that comes back to us, the Rep receives a $10 Visa card. The person who redeemed the card will receive 16 free wallets. As the reps send us more seniors, they earn different prizes along the way. At the end of the school year, we add up all of the referrals. The Rep that sent us the most, will win a $200 Visa card! This is our way of thanking them for helping us to get our name out there.

Here are a some of this years reps. If you know them, be sure to get a card from them so you can get your free wallets!

Soccer!

Where do Sundays usually find us? On a soccer field! This week was FC America vs Valley View. Its always good to see the girls together and playing. This was the second game of the session, and another win.

A few of our favorite shots of the game;

Another Senior

This is Rich. We went to his house to do his family's photos as well as his senior photos. They have Border Collies, and puppies! The dogs and puppies ended up being so much easier than I thought they would be to shoot. Whew! Here are some of our favorites from the shoot.

Danae

Miss Danae came for her senior portraits. Daae is a senior at Nrth Pocono. We had scheduled indoor and outdoor sessions, but the weather was not cooperating with us. We really had a lot of fun wth Danae. I love her eyes! They just draw you right into the image.

Here are a few of my favorite shots.

Fall 2009 Newsletter

Fall is a beautiful time of year. The trees each have their own color, and give perfect contrast to the bright blue sky above. Footbabll and soccer seasons have started and are almost over. Soon the kids will be Trick or Treating and before you know it, Thanksgiving and then Christmas is here. Its amazing how fast the year seems to fly by! When we were kids, it seemed like forever. Now, they just kind of all blur together.

Wedding Season

This year we have met a lot of great couples who are getting married. We've done a few engagement sessions, and some weddings this year. We love being a part of their special day. The nervousness, the excitement, the love, the magic of it all.
We had a booth at the Bridal Expo in Wilkes Barre this month. This was a first for us, but we really enjoyed ourselves. We hope to do the next one in the winter at the Scranton Cutural Center.

Outdoor Studio

The digging for the outdoor studio began back in the summer. Thanks to Jeff from Fischer Brothers Landscaping, the wall is complete. We are now working on the floor of the patio in front of it. Our only obstacle is the weather. It doesn't stop raining long enough to get anything done. We have used the wall a few times for some sessions. In the spring we hope to add flowers and ivy all around the wall. By adjusting our angles of the camera, we hope to be able to get totally different looks from that one wall. We also have other plans for next year if the weather cooperates.
Senior Class of 2010

You do have time to make the yearbook if you haven't gotten your pictures done yet. Most schools need the photo by December. We can proof right after your session so you can choose your photo for the yearbook. We will edit that photo, and get it to you so you can hand it in on time.

Another Senior

This is Maria. She is a senior at Dunmore High School. We have known her family for a while now. Instead of taking the summer off like most kids her age, Maria spent the summer in boot camp.

We did a few indoor shots, but she really loosened up when we got outside. I think she did a great job modeling! Any of you last minute seniors who go to Dunmore, be sure to get a card off Maria. You'll receive 16 free wallets!

Caitie from Crestwood

I wanted to share some photos from a shoot we had last week. This is Caitie. She is a senior at Crestwood High. Very sweet girl. We were happy to have her, and honored that she drove almost an hour to get to us! Caitie had seen some shots of my daughter that we had done in her soccer uniform at night, and wanted that style. We LOVE different. So, that was right up our alley. Caitie is also a rep for us, so if you see her, ask her for a card. You will get 16 free wallets and she will earn some cash back.

Here are a few images from her session;
