Denver, Co Senior Photographer | Taylor

Today’s post is of Taylor, Hannah’s older sister. She was a natural in front of the camera, despite what she might say. Very easy to get a real laugh from, and after all, those are the best kind of photos.
On a side note, Taylor’s going to be a senior next year and is working on getting us some more seniors from the Denver area. It may seem early to get Senior Portraits done while still a junior in high school, but it’s a great time if you want to be a Photographing Sound Senior Model for us like Taylor. It’s just that much more time to recruit new clients for us, making that much more money per referral for her. That’s right, be a Senior Model for us, and we’ll pay you for referring new clients to us. Refer enough people and you could earn a new flat panel HDTV or even a new laptop. Yup, a new laptop or new TV, wouldn’t one of those go great in your dorm room? And it’s not like we’re just giving away one to some lucky Senior Model, each model that refers enough people earns one. Heck, get enough referrals and we’ll buy you one of each! (that would be a lot of referrals, but if you’re up to it, so are we!!)
So you’re saying what’s the point of Taylor being a Senior Model for us when she lives in Denver? Well, glad you asked: We’re planning on doing some sessions in Colorado later this year, so if you’re in the Denver area and are interested in a session, drop us a line in the comment box below or the contact us section above.
Now, on to Taylor’s pics…

Fayetteville AR Baby Photographer | Little Man Jayce @ 3 Months

Maybe you remember this little guy from his newborn photos. He’s now three months old so mom & dad wanted some new pics. Despite it being crazy crowded at the park, and having far more direct sunlight light than I expected (silly ice storm taking out all the trees…), I think the photos turned out great. They sure do grow up too fast!!

Fort Smith Photographer | Product Spotlight…

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!
Check out the prices on up at the top under INFO-> PRICING - FAMILY PORTRAITURE (email us for the password).

Fort Smith Military Photographer | Thunderbolts to Lightning

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!!
