A couple of months in review...

It’s almost a month since I updated my blog. Sorry to the one or two of you that read it. The purpose of the blog when I started it was to put a lot of words and pictures on my web site for the search engines to crawl. This will help with the rankings of my web site and maybe have the site show up when someone types “Spokane Photographer” into the search engine box. My hope is it will turn into something more. I have to figure out what to put here and what will keep you coming back. Stay tuned...

I am still trying to balance my studio and also be a working stage hand with IATSE Local #93. The choice to work the run of Lion King, Nutcracker and LC’s Guys & Dolls was not that hard. I love the technical aspects of theater and sound and will continue to keep working these calls when I can. Many of the people I work with are my customers and so they go hand in hand. The Lion King was a huge time commitment and has left me a little bit behind. I will continue to balance these as best as I can.

Dancers

While I started shooting ballet to make a slide show for the spring recital at Ballet Arts, I quickly learned that my peak action skills that I picked up while shooting football and other sports also worked well for dance. The portraits that I take are usually a collaboration of the dancer and myself. When the dance brings something to the game, the pictures turn out to be unique, fun and original. This is the same thing with any portrait session really...

Please keep bringing your A-game to the studio or location session and I will continue to do what I can to pose, light and shoot great dance pictures.

High School Seniors!

Lets just say I am behind and should not even be typing this blog right now. -I will get the orders completely caught up the first couple of weeks in January. In 2010, I want to have an intern or possible a part time employee. Much of the work, like fielding phones calls and appointments to downloading the cards, backing up and sorting with the customers are a huge time commitment and don’t need to be done by me. The bulk of the help would be needed in July and August. I was shooting almost daily though September. Let me know if you are interested via email or a phone call.

Thank you parents and seniors for a stellar senior portrait season.

Audition Pictures

Please call and make an appointment ASAP to get the SI pictures done. I will make sure that we get the best arabesque we can with no pressure. Make sure you look like what you are going to look like at your audition. -This means hair up, black leo and pink tights for both the head shot and full body shots. Make sure they see “the you” in the photos that they saw in the audition.


Happy Holidays! See you in 2010!
