At the end of 2009 we photographed the talented Michael Salas, a local musician.  We had Michael playing his heart out on his clarinet and saxophone, allowing us to capture the passion Michael feels for his music.  Combining the art of music and photography, we ended up with images that truly embody Michael as a musician.

Our studio also offers customized artistic manipulations of photographs tailored to your individual taste and style. 

Check out the cool pop art piece we created for Michael! (Perfect for an album cover!)

Last week we had a blast photographing 1 year old Camryn.  The little cutie hammed it up for the camera, and there were so many great photos that embodied her personality.  We picked a few of our favorites from the session - Enjoy!

This week Ray and I had the pleasure of photographing little Henry, who is 3 weeks 4 days old in these photographs.  We captured some great expressions and detail shots of the new baby boy, and also got some great family pictures (always great for sharing your new bundle of joy with family and friends in a birth announcement photograph!).  We had a great time photographing Henry, and we hope you enjoy looking through some of our favorite photos from his session!

Over the past few months our studio has been working with Active Diagnostics, Inc. (ADI), a rapidly expanding intraoperative monitoring company that is presently providing services to California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona Hospitals.  We provided a variety of photographic services, from on location photography at their business location to studio head shots to designing marketing and promotional materials.  Our photographer Ray Johnston captured photographs in their medical training classrooms, highlighting the employees and the services they offer their patients.

 

On Location Medical Classroom Photography

 

Here is our photographer Ray on location at Active Diagnostics medical training classrooms.  With our studio's knowledge of photographic equipment and lighting, combined with our artistic vision, you can rest assured that we will deliver high quality photographs that will help build your company's image.

In addition to on location photography we also captured commercial product photographs and head shots of all their employees in our studio.  We offer cosmetic retouching and editing to ensure you are putting your best foot forward!

As a full service photography studio we design  and manipulate images for a variety of different print applications.  For this project with Active Diagnostics they wanted to update their look at the numerous trade shows they attend every year.  They wanted something that showed a comprehensive view of their company but that was also high impact and creatively presented.  The final product was a 7 ft by 8 ft banner split into two panels.

Here is their Director of Sales and Marketing, Terry Lloyd, standing proudly with their freshly printed banner.

In addition to this banner, we also designed another sign for various promotional purposes, combining and manipulating three images to create a dynamic collage.  Creative branding images such as these are a huge asset to any company.

We all know that hard drives fail, CD's break, flash drives get lost, and then all that data (including your precious photos) are lost forever.  Make sure that if your digital copies of your images are unretrievable that you have archival quality prints of your most treasured photographs! 

Our studio specializes in custom quality printing, delivering prints that are unsurpassed in quality and breathtaking in the richness of color and fine detail.  We print using only museum grade archival materials, ensuring that your photograph will last for generations to come.  When you print with us, you know that your images will be protected from fading and UV damage, as they are completely sealed off from the environment (unlike flimsy 1 hour prints which fade and deteriorate over time).  We also offer color adjustments and cosmetic retouching for your images. In addition to our standard editing, we also offer our Signature line of editing - perfect for making a wall portrait out of that treasured family vacation photo! 

Come by our studio with your favorite images that you do not want to risk losing, and see how our studio can ensure the lasting quality of your photographic memories!
