About our Seniors

See, here’s the thing.

Over the years, we have photographed a lot of seniors. We have met some incredible young people, amazing parents, and taken a lot of photographs that have really added a lot to this important part of their lives.

In 2008, when we moved our studio into Jack Dehaven’s former studio, we stepped up our game maybe a hundred-fold. We are still meeting some incredible young people, their parents, and taking some amazing photos. But the changes we have seen in ourselves have been that much more stunning than ever before.

So, what’s that much different?

We have a facility that was specifically designed for portrait photography. We aren’t stuck in a hole-in-the-wall strip mall, or in the upper floor of a retail store. We’re in a location that we have complete control over. That makes a difference because we determine what we can and can’t do. We can upgrade to the right equipment and install it without regard to the landlord’s issues, or the restrictions of space and neighbors. And that makes us more at ease, and probably a lot more fun.

Well, mostly more fun. There are two things we are very serious about.

One is great images. There’s no substitute for great imagery in our studio. It’s taken me a year, but I think I’ve finally gotten used to the equipment, the lighting, the props and how to best use them effectively. And Diana, bless her heart, has been really putting together some amazing touch-up work to my pictures. You will never look as good until Diana gets hold of your pictures.

But the proof is in the pictures.

Go to www.tlcphotography.com/seniors. Click on the Catalog download. All of the images in that catalog are ours. We took them for 2009 seniors. The work is a joint effort between Diana and I to bring you the absolute best pictures of you.

For 2010 seniors, we have some wonderful new products. This includes two new album options that will give you more of your images in a single place that is a keepsake forever. You will, of course, always want the wall portraits, the desk prints and the wallets. But this year we’re adding 411 cards… yeah, they’re really that cool. We can’t wait to show you all the samples.
