Little Miss Bonar
A good friend of ours since her high school days, mom brought her first child to us for some newborn shots. She’s a few months older here, but quite the adorable one.

Little Mr. Bean
Not the kind of bean you’d find in your favorite soup… this little mister is the kind that steals hearts. Take a look. 🙂
Melissa & Jayson’s Engagement
Apparently they were engaged at Bavarian Inn some time ago, and came back to the Inn from their home in Pennsylvania just to have portraits taken. These are just a few.
Senior: Paul
Ever meet someone and instantly know that they are someone who will always be a friend? I felt that way with Paul. He was a fantastic subject and has also since been a great person to know.

Senior: Samantha
It’s hard to know how to begin with some senior posts. I only met Samantha this year, so I really had no history to back onto. But once I got to know her a little, it only took a small amount of effort to give us both a great working relationship.
As one of our senior models this year, Samantha sent at least five seniors to us throughout the year.

Senior: Kellyn
Here’s an interesting character. Feisty, mouthy and funny… and that was just in the two hours for her session. We got along great, and her mother was a real hoot, too. This is actually from last year, and Kellyn is now in college, but I couldn’t resist posting one for her. We still trade barbs on Facebook. 🙂
Senior: Victoria
When a senior says that they have a musical instrument they would like featured in their portraits, I get a little excited. Props that define someone are a great way to create a portrait that will be treasured forever. Victoria’s passion for her music made a distinct difference to her session and her images.
Senior: Zach
Here’s an interesting personality. It didn’t seem to matter what we threw at Zach, he was game for anything. And the greatest thing about that is it opened up a lot of fun moments. We photographed Zach’s sister, Brie, a couple of years ago, and while she was also interesting (extremist sense), Zach tore down any walls there may have been. 🙂
Senior: Tyler
I’m constantly reminded of how different each person is that comes to us for anything… not that I need reminding, but when the creative energy starts flowing, it seems like the differences are what make it so much easier to pull something together. Tyler truly personified that creativity.
Remember when…
… I would blog 2-3 times a week?
It was pretty regular, too. Sometimes 2-3 times a day! Oh, yeah.
But I got behind, and busy, and didn’t have as much time to do it anymore. And I still don’t. But you will start seeing them again soon. The best reason I can give you for why you will see them is because I have been asked to do so. So, here goes…
First, before I start in on blog entries for the sessions, weddings, and more, I have a couple of new projects we are getting ready to roll out. Both take full advantage of the fact that we have a super, large studio with state-of-the-art facilities and lots of space. Having a studio gives us a unique opportunity to create new stuff that we sometimes can’t do on-location. Once we’re ready to reveal them, you’ll know what I mean. One of the projects has been in the works for about twelve years, and the other going on three years.
Some news items for you, too. Diana’s birthday is November 6. Please feel free to wish her a happy birthday. We won’t be at the studio on her birthday (it’s a Sunday), but will be all this week thru Friday. She likes purple, Scottie stuff, and sugar-free licorice. 🙂 We will also be closed on Saturday, November 5 so that we can celebrate her birthday in style.
There are really no holiday cutoffs this year. However, if you want your print products for Christmas gift delivery, they need to be ordered by December 17. A few items should be ordered earlier than that, such as books. Please ask if you aren’t sure.
The studio will be closed for Thanksgiving and the remainder of that weekend. We’ll reopen on Tuesday, November 29. The studio will be closed for Christmas and New Year’s from December 24 through January 2. As always, we will be happy to try to accommodate your holiday portrait requests during those times, but we won’t be at the studio for you to pick up or place orders during those dates.
Model calls. We have three model calls coming up. One is for a model for one of the two projects I discussed above. We have one model already, a young lady we have photographed before, but we’d like to have another to kind of round things out. The next is for newborns… this is not specifically a model call, but we have changed a lot of things about our newborn photography, and we welcome anyone whose had a baby, and who is no more than ten days old, to contact us about getting a complementary session. The last is for next year’s high school seniors (Class of 2013). Senior models get two full sessions, free products, cash, and discounts on their future orders. For any of these, email me or call 304-263-3100 and talk with us (or just leave a message).
I think I’ve said enough for one email. Hope you’re looking forward to the new blog entries as much as I am.
