Senior: Danica
Planned for months, she was a total doll at the session. We had a great conversation, shared some very interesting ideas, and had a ton of fun. I love talking with smart young people.

I’m a sarcastic individual… and it’s great to come across someone who understands and appreciates good sarcasm. Oh, so was she. 🙂
Senior: McKaela
A bold young lady with lots of sass… we captured many of her moods and personalities. She was great to work with.
Senior: Jacob
So, this guy comes in all prepared to pose… he apparently has been the main subject of his sister’s adventures in photography. So, he’s used to being in front of a camera. We were sure to give him some interesting challenges, though. Had a great time with this guy.
Senior: Ashley
Sometimes you meet that “perfect” subject… and this young lady wouldn’t stop being a great vision in front of the camera. We had time, motivation, great light and wonderful timing. And I think she enjoyed herself, too. 🙂
Senior: Matt
It’s not often that a guy is really into his senior portraits… usually mom has to kind of “nudge” him a bit. But Matt was ready to go, and had a few ideas of his own. We encourage everyone to bring their ideas with them, along with a healthy dose of smiles and willingness to use some of our ideas, too. The results often end up quite a bit better as a result. Like this time…

I often think that by the time we are done with a session, that some kids think they just spent the last two hours “playing” in front of a camera. To be honest, that’s really the way it feels for me, too. I’m always having a great time. This particular young lady was game for just about anything, and we had a great session.
Senior: Corey
This is a unique young man… well, not really. In fact, he’s into the adventure and activities that many young men are. The unique part is that he is following in his father and grandfather’s footsteps by becoming a fireman. He has other interests, of course… but he loves being outside, and we had a great time with him.
Matchmaker Update
Almost two years ago, at a senior consultation held at the studio, a young lady from Jefferson High (and her mother) and a young man from Martinsburg High (and his mother) sat through my 30-minute presentation and tour. All the while, Matt (Martinsburg) and I were hitting it off, planning an epic soccer-based photo. Ashlyn (Jefferson) listened with great intent, and laughed along with Matt and I was we plotted how we would create his hero picture.
To make a long story shorter, you can read the recount of the original meeting here.
Well, on Saturday, Matt and Ashlyn came back to the studio with Matt’s family. We did some photos of his family, and then afterward did some portraits with just Matt and Ashlyn. While they were changing outfits at one point, I spoke with Matt’s mom and dad about their nearly two-year relationship. It was only then that I learned that Matt’s parents and Ashlyn’s parents have also become close, taking a couple of vacations and trips together. It’s been quite a two-year adventure.
In honor of their upcoming two-year anniversary together, here’s one of the shots from the session on Saturday.
Workshops: Every Tuesday
We’re opening our next series of workshops, and they start Tuesday, July 10.
The first one is the ever-popular “The Camera,” in which we explore the variety of camera types and styles, functions, menus and what all that mumbo-jumbo means in real life. Everyone who has taken this class has come away with a more in-depth understanding of how to use their camera. You can even ask Tony to spend some one-on-one time to go over questions specific to YOUR camera and the way you shoot. The best part is that the first workshop is only $5… this does not include the one-on-one time, however, which is sold separately.
The next one, July 17 (also a Tuesday, oddly enough) is Photography 101. This workshop gives you all the nuts and bolts in an easily assembled and simply understood set of very specific scenarios. ISO, exposure, f-stops, shutter speed and much more will be covered. Don’t worry too much about remembering it, though, since you will also receive a copy of the entire workshop in an easy-to-understand printed manual. This workshop is only $39.99.
