We wanted to share some images of a recent graduate of our Baby's First Year program. We have been photographing Sarah over the past year, chronicling her development from birth to one year. We ended her first year of photography with an outdoor session in the Davis Arboretum, and we captured some amazing photographs of her that really show her sparkling little personality and budding beauty. It struck us again how important capturing the stages during the first year is, as we saw how much Sarah changed over her first year, and how amazing it was to capture those precious changes in development and personality in such a lasting artistic form: photography.
We wanted to share some of our favorite images from this session in addition to a progression of a final large wall portrait edit we did on her parents favorite photograph from the entire year. As you can see there were three stages in the editing process - the first image is straight from the camera with simple contrast and saturation adjustments, the second image underwent our Select editing, and the final image that we prepared for large scale print on a canvas texture had extensive artistic Signature editing performed on it. Can you see all the changes we made?
Stop the press! Michelle is here, and is fiercely captivating us with her beauty. We were blown away by her 'film' from a recent session with Ray, and wanted to share some of our favorite images from the custom modeling session we did with her. We can already tell that she is going to be taking the modeling world by storm with her flawless and versatile look!
A zed card (also called a comp or composite card) is a model's business card and the first tool to booking a job. Here is a zed card we have laid out for Michelle that shows casual, business, swimsuit, and evening looks in addition to a classic and timeless beauty shot.

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!
