Had a rare chance to pick up one of the games at Tiger Field over the weekend. Finally had time to test my new 600mm lens with some real action pix. Shooting hand held with no tripod was a challenge but the results were pretty good for sharpness with great color.
Hope the team does well and more baseball fans turn out for the games. With Tiger Field in the middle of town it should be a great resource the city can show off.

Grad pix do not have to be boring school type portraits. We can shoot in the cool inside studio rooms and take you outdoors for the natural local scenes to give you the variety and options you want.
Different backgrounds, props, clothing, friends, pets and hobbies can show the real you. We also love to see you with your buddies so we can make images that will be shared with all your friends and families.

There are a few secrets in getting great photos.
Tops on the list is having a FUN experience.
Being comfortable, confident you chose the right clothing and setting, communicating well with the photographer, and working together to create the vision you see for yourself.
It's important that your photographer knows their equipment and lighting tools. You don't need to wait while a photog fumbles with all the dials and buttons or tries to figure out an attractive pose.
You want to see different styles and moods. Casual, fun, story telling, sassy, formal-- all the subtle traits that you show off as a real human.
Have a great summer,

With Redding high school senior graduations starting in a couple nights we are just now finishing the last of the 2013 senior sessions. It is sooo nice that we have the options of shooting in the cool studio and outside. Even with the temps rocking past 105 we stay cool and comfy making images for you to enjoy and share.
Those 2014 seniors will get even MORE options with some new indoor and portrait park scenes. The new fashionista set will be a big hit for the girls and the outdoorsy guys are sure to love our new hunting set.
Stay cool and enjoy these first hot days of summer.

Here we are again with Grad Week.
One group of seniors moves onto the challenges and adventure of college while the graduating 8th graders step up into the big leagues of high school, cars, dating and choosing a direction for their future.
Fun times.
For those 2014 seniors a last summer before the responsibilities grow.
Still safe in the family nest a chance to learn and grow before the taking wing into adulthood.
Hope we can share your journey with senior portraits that tell your story.
Remember, you can use the photographer of your choice for your senior pix. The yearbook mugshot is the only one you need to have done by the contract folks if your school chooses to force you to one place.
Be safe all but have a great time while you explore a new summer.

It has been a busy week building new sets in the the second camera room and doing the Spring clean up out in our Hollywood style outdoor portait park. Lots of new fun places to play and shoot for the 2014 seniors that will start rolling in in just a couple days.
The Kids Contest is offically done for this year so we will let all the locals know the results when we hear from the judges.

Don't you just love the faces you get from babies? From smiles to scowls to adoration to confusion. All in a matter of seconds. And all so special to family.
