1st Communion – Paige

Paul — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 21:20:24 +0000

So this post is a little special because my daughter is the subject. She came to me a few weeks ago and asked me to treat her like a bride and take pretty pictures of her getting ready for her First Communion. She’s eight. She’s going to have some high expectations come her actual wedding day!

This was just a dress rehearsal. Her actual First Communion isn’t for a few more weeks. I’m sure she’ll have more expectations for her photographer on that Sunday as well!

Team Photos – Soccer

There is no reason team photos have to be all boring and one some pretend stadium backdrop. Make the kids look like all stars. A crop like this even has room for a team logo, or league logo in the negative space.

Lilly & Leah: One Year

This is the second time twin sister’s Lilly and Leah make an appearance here at LoC! This time around it’s to celebrate turning one! Woot!

Have you ever seen a more stoic wooden pony rider? That’s serious business going on! Speaking of going on. One year old is a lot more mobile that six months! When they were done with me, they were off on the go!

Family: Erin, Matt and their Girls

Matt and Erin are friends of mine. I’ve coached their girls in soccer. Matt coaches my kids on swim team. Our wives gossip most mornings during the summer over coffee and swimming lessons. This winter they were looking to update their family photo and gave me a call. They wanted something simple. Nothing is simpler than black and white on white seamless paper. It’s a look I’m hoping to do more with this year in all my sessions.

Kicking off 2012!

Well, another year has come and gone. 2011 was incredibly successful for LoC and I’m hoping that all my past, present and future fantastic clients help make 2012 even better.

I know a lot of photographers post “year in review” blogs right around now, I was tempted to as well, but there were just to many photos to amazing photos to choose from and I didn’t want anybody to be left out. Instead, I’m going to look forward at what I want 2012 to be like for LoC.

1. More Weddings! I’ve got a goal to double the number of weddings I shot in 2011! Are you one of them? If you’re getting married, or know somebody that is let them know how great LoC is!

2. More Maternity sessions and newborns! Isn’t it time some of my past bride and groom’s started having babies?

3. More High School Seniors! This is an area I haven’t spent much time focused on in the past and this year I’m hoping to be a little more aggressive. I’d like to find some senior reps that will help spread the word about LoC at their school in exchange for discounts on their sessions! Let me know if you’re interested or know somebody who could be!

4. Establish Black, White and Boudoir. Boudoir photography continues to grow and gain in popularity and it’s something I’d like to be known for. It’s a great groom’s gift from the bride right around the wedding day. It’s a great anniversary gift for somebody special in your life. The sessions are fun and the pictures are always amazing!

You get the idea! LoC is about continuing to make great photographs of the things important to you! Your family, your wedding, your moments! If you are already a client then I can’t wait to see you again in 2012! If you aren’t, well, what are you waiting for?
