Senior Photos part 2

Here are some of the pictures from part 2 of the photo shoot.  I really enjoyed working with this young lady.

Senior Photos part 1

I'm doing 2 photo sessions with a upcoming senior in high school.  She's one of my favorite basketball players in our neck of the woods.  I was extremely excited when she allowed me to do her photos.  Here are a few shots of our first session.  More to come in the next few days.

Great Clients

You meet all kinds of people in the photography business, some good, some not so good.  People take advantage of photographers all the time.  Sometimes they don't even realize it.  They don't recognize the cost of the product you offer or take into account your time and labor.  It can be a difficult business to manage because a photographer loves to take pictures and clients know this and will frequently undercut the financial value of what you're offering them.
Anyway, with that said, I took pictures of a couple of great clients earlier this week and their family.  They are clients that I consider friends, but when it comes to business they treated my work as if I was a top of the line photographer.  They didn't look for or even want a hook up.  They respect the work that I do and insisted on paying for it.  If every client was like this I would have already left my day job.
Here are some of the shots I took of them.

Sports Photography

Over the last couple of years I've strayed away from shooting youth sports photography.  Even though it was youth sports that got me started professionally, I rarely do it unless asked as a favor by a friend or client.

While taking my friends baseball pictures another parent asked me to take some of her two sons as well.  These are the designs that I did for them.

A private intimate wedding

I had the pleasure of photographing a private wedding of a couple of the July 4th weekend.  The couple had the ceremony on a dock over the lake in a local park.  The ceremony was performed at sunrise in front of the children and myself.  I only hope to have captured the beauty of the event.
