Amber called us the day before she needed a portrait sitting to get a few photos she needed for her entries into the Miss Teen West Virginia Pageant. We were happy to help. Amber brought quite a few outfits and mostly just needed a few different looks and views.
Below is one of her photos.
We’re not sure when competition starts, but the camera seems to like Amber and we think she’ll do well.
We first met Tamra when she was a cheerleader in Jefferson Youth Football. Her mother was the coach of her team and was as enthusiastic and energetic as the players and cheerleaders themselves. It comes through in her daughter, who is not only pleasant and cheerful, but also somewhat soft spoken, but determined in what she wants.
Her sitting was a reflection of her personality. She was a great subject, and knew exactly what she wanted. We did a few shots in the studio, and then moved to the nearby Morgans Grove Park.
Below is our Roses shot, which she very much wanted… Diana and her mother helped set it up, patiently lying on the floor while we arranged flowers around her.
After roses came the mirror. A staple with so many seniors, this one was especially nice because the colors and hair complement the image.
Lastly, a photo at the park. We did plenty of others, and her mother called a few days later after saying there were some poses they didn’t do, to tell us that it wasn’t necessary since the photos we did do were wonderful and quite sufficient.
Tamra will graduate from Jefferson High School in 2007. We wish her the best of luck.
Each year, Becky Ramsey and her husband celebrate their anniversary with a portrait sitting and have contacted us for the last two years to do so. Below is their annual portrait from a short sitting.
So for a year or so we have been trying to sell our piano. It belonged to Diana’s grandmother, and when Diana’s mom asked if she wanted it, she agreed to take it because Jess and Tara both had some musical interest and it might be beneficial to have around.
Until now. It mostly gathered dust, was a haven for a dog to lie under, and was a table for things that needed a home when we walked in the door.
So Diana listed it on Craig’s List. This was the first time she’d listed anything there. Two days later she got a call from a person who was viewing Craig’s List for the first time. They came to look at it a few days later, and agreed to take the piano. But they didn’t have the manpower or transportation to take it right away.
But today, they did. 🙂
With a piano lifting gizmo, four extra sets of hands, a lift-gate trailer, a big pickup to pull it with, and a little patience and coordination, the piano was gone about 30 minutes after they arrived.
We moved the chaise lounge into its place, and love having the extra room.
Of course, now I don’t have a place to sit my laptop bag. 🙁
