The VAULT Collections!!

Newly added to our catalog of products and collections last month, we’ve already sold a few and have some other clients showing much interest in them.
What are they exactly? Well, they’re the most cost effective way to get ALL the images from your session. Available in either 5×7 or 4×6, you get each image and a custom image box (Vault) to keep them in. And, should you decide to put the images in an album or scrapbook,
the Vault is great for storing keepsakes, money, hair clips, whatever*.

And sorry for the images, I haven’t had time to get some real product photographs yet, so these are just some mock-ups based on the real thing…

*while it is called a Vault, it's not an actual vault. it doesn't lock, there is no alarm, and there's no armed
guards protecting the contents. just keep that in mind when storing your
great-grandma's priceless pearls in the Vault.
just sayin'...

Session Books!!

Time for another product spotlight. Session books are a great way to get more of your images without having to wallpaper your house with prints (though if you want to do that, let us know :) )
They’re also cheaper than buying the same number of prints individually. And way more convenient than carrying around framed prints for showing off your portraits to friends and family!

Back in November I was privileged enough to be asked to photograph Major Jay Spohn’s last flight in the A-10 Thunderbolt (Warthog) here at the 188th. He was the only pilot chosen from the Air National Guard to fly the new F35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. He will be one of the 12 pilots to fly in the program’s initial cadre. He will *only* get to fly F-15C Eagles’s until the F35’s are delivered later this year. There are more articles on the web here if you’d like to read further. If you check this article, there’s even a picture of me ‘in action’.

And a great big Thank You to Joel of Joel Culberson Photography for letting me rent his 5D Mk ii while mine was in the shop. I shot with our backup original 5D also, but man, if it would’ve been the only camera I had, I wouldn’t have gotten half the shots I did.

And an even bigger THANK YOU to all our service men and women who help keep our nation strong and safe. Thank you for what you do!!

Clients are always asking us what they need to wear. Well, if you have young children, that answer just got a whole lot easier! Check out the new trendy Baby Chic Boutique on Dodson Ave in Ft. Smith.
Just walk into the store and pretty much anything you see would be awesome in a photo. Christal, the owner, is very talented and friendly and is always working on new products (she makes a bunch of the stuff she sells) , so check back often. And don’t forget to tell her we sent you!!!

Here are some outfits we found when we went the other day…

We haven’t posted in a few days since we’ve been crazy busy trying to get all the galleries done in time for Christmas delivery. So here’s a just a couple pics of our two little ones…

gotta start ‘em early… No easy auto mode on that thing, it’s all manual.
(of course the picture before this one had him looking through the lens to take the picture. But hey, he’s only 2)

Time for another New Product update, this time, for accordion wallets. These are 3×3″ books, that instead of being bound at the spine, accordion out to show 6 images on one side and 4 images on the other. Finishing them off are hard covers on each end to protect the images when they are folded closed. There are about 20 different cover options available in different colors of Eurohyde (imitation leather) and Art Cloth (a bit like tweed).  These come in a set of 3 for $45, with additional units being $12 each. The wallets are held closed via an elastic metallic silver bow that wraps around two corners… Actual product shots coming soon.

A couple examples…
