Introducing Senior Model: Hannah

Hannah attends Boonsboro High School, and is in the class of 2013.

Hannah came to us with her family for portraits a couple of years ago. We were happy to see her back. Hannah braved 25mph winds to get some great images for her folio.

Introducing Senior Model: Addam

Addam attends Musselman High School, and is in the class of 2013.

When we first talked with Addam, we compared his name with the infamous “Addams Family”. Now when we say his name, we click twice.  Not everyone will get that… only the cool people.

Introducing Senior Model: Desiree

Desiree attends Martinsburg High School, and is in the class of 2013.

I first met Desiree on Facebook, when she “friended” me as a local photographer (she is an artist in her own right). She does pretty well on the other side of the camera, too.

Introducing Senior Model: Sydney

Sydney attends Musselman High School, and is in the class of 2013.

Although I’d met Sydney during her older sister Jordan’s model shoot in Charles Town last year, it wasn’t until Sydney herself was before the camera that we learned that she really knows the poses.

Introducing Senior Model: Katlyn

Katlyn attends Hedgesville High School, and is in the class of 2013.

The first time we met Katlyn was as a model at one of our posing workshops. That kind of set things in motion…

Introducing Senior Model: Jacqui

Jacqui attends Musselman High School, and is in the class of 2013.

She’s a face in the crowd to some, but when she stepped in front of the camera, all that changed and she became someone people will look at a little differently now.Senior pictures in Inwood and Martinsburg

Summer Help

It is about this time each year that we start our quest for qualified help for the summer positions listed below. But please, before you apply blindly you must understand a few things about the job(s) and us. The jobs are most usually filled by people who are happy, eager to learn, don’t mind working with creative people (we aren’t the easiest), and have a mind that can create along with us.  We are a mom and pop shop, albeit one that acts and thinks on a bigger scale than that.  You should think that way, too.  The job descriptions don’t begin to scratch the surface. 🙂

  • Studio assistant – This person will help greet clients, show them to the dressing room(s), help carry clothes and props, setup sets, scenes, props and lights, watch and suggest alterations to hair, lighting, props and anything else, do the bidding of the photographer (i.e., get drinks, etc.) and clean up the studio when we’re done for the day.
  • Studio receptionist – This person will help greet clients, show them to the dressing room(s), get orders that are ready, take orders as needed, help with marketing, product, order assembly, framing, mounting, cleaning, and anything else we need for you to do.

Both positions are part-time, not permanent (although the potential is there), and have variable hours (i.e., there is no fixed schedule).  We are happy to work around school schedules, other jobs, children’s schedules, etc.  The perfect candidate for either position will be someone who doesn’t “need” the job, but wants to augment their income in our fast-paced studio.

Basically, we need good people who want to have fun, don’t mind doing grunt work, and can remain chipper at all times.  While we cannot legally state we need someone “of a certain age,” we are truly discerning and up front about the job during any interview. If you’re a wallflower, please don’t contact us. We want people who are going to work WITH us, not just FOR us.

To apply, do one of the following:

  1. Comment on this blog post with your name and how we can contact you.  Remember that all blog comments are public, though.
  2. Email me at tony@tlcphotography.com.
  3. Send me a private message on Facebook. (www.facebook.com/tlc.photography)

PLEASE do not call.  The reason is simple… we want to leave the phone open for client calls.  If you contact us via messaging, we can email you with information that you can read at your convenience and respond accordingly.

Thanks for looking!

Free Stuff!

Wouldn’t it be terribly cruel if I just left it as that?  And then told you there’s no free stuff?  I’m not… but that would be so rude! 🙂

Beautiful Portraits in MartinsburgWe’re getting ready to start a few give-aways around here.  We’re giving away stuff… like engagement sessions, proposal sessions, family sessions, portrait packages, large prints, small prints, and yes, even a wedding.

But you have to stay tuned.

They’re coming soon.  Check back at least once a week if you don’t see or blog entry on Facebook or our website.

BTW, the picture above is the eyes of a good friend and client’s daughter. This was a couple of years ago… it’s such an attention getter, isn’t it? 🙂

Our New Website

About four years ago, we replaced our HTML website with an all-Flash website, and then later added in some very important directional elements that helped people “find their way” in our complex website structure.

On Monday, March 12, we are changing the entire look of our website.  It will encompass all of the elements of our existing three sites (main, seniors and workshops) as well as making the links to client galleries and Diana’s nature photography easier to get to.

We invite you to visit our new site, which is a hybrid design that incorporates both HTML and Flash with a very strict database structure that makes everything seem more common across all platforms.  It’s even mobile friendly!

We’ve added all the basics, including all new galleries (pictures never before seen on our website), and intend to add much more for you to look at. This will include some behind-the-scenes photos and video, instructional videos that complement our workshops, and some great announcements for specials that go hand in hand with our social network pages and our blog.

Enjoy!  To see it, go to www.tlcphotography.com.
