Still on the look out for people who would be interested in helping obtain my Certified Professional Photographer credential.

I need to submit images from PAID client work… however, it’s not specified how much I need to get paid.

If you have ever considered having a family, child or teen/senior photo session at a severely reduced fee.

Please enter your email above and when I am ready to photograph this Spring, you’ll be the first ones to have the opportunity to have a professional on location custom photography.

Just for fun… for the PHOTO CHALLENGE

This little boy reminded me of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes.  I love this photo.

As some of you know, I am seeking to earn my Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) credential.

 Part of the process means that I need to submit prints from ACTUAL client work.

SOOOOOO this is where you come in… I am looking for  families, children (ages 6-11,) teens and high school seniors who are interested in having custom portrait work created.

The requirements are these:

1. THERE WILL BE A SESSION FEE*.  HOWEVER, it will be at a great discount.  The images created can be made into canvases, framed prints, albums or cards… those I cannot discount.
2. You will give me creative control.  I will pick where and help you make suitable clothing choices.  (Obviously I want you to be happy with the prints.  FOR EXAMPLE, if you are a High School Senior who more wants something edgy and or urban, I am going to photograph you Downtown.)
3. You need to sign a model release.
4. I am also in the process of working with some local salons so that we can make sure you look your best… while this may not be FREE, perhaps I can get you a discount.

So-far, what I have described above, it not a whole lot different from my normal sessions… minus… I hardly EVER discount my sessions.

More DETAILS to come in the following weeks.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME!

I WANT TO CREATE THE BEST IMAGES I CAN FOR YOU!

*As part of the CPP requirement, I cannot use any images from work that I do for free.

It was about this time last year when I decided that I had a problem in my life that needed resolving.  My clients had more of my pictures of their children, families, babies and seniors hanging on their walls than I did.  Tis sad, but true.  My walls were baren.  It was at that point in time that I resolved that 2011 would be my year to fix that issue, but how?  I had no skills in interior decoration.  How would I know what to put up or not?

And then like an angel, Tana Blades LeMay, founder and owner of the WILD SORBET HAND PAINTED CUSTOM FRAME COMPANY, came to speak at our local guild meeting about DESIGN.  She made design make sense, which as confounded as I was, seem like a divine miracle.

After the meeting, she hung out afterwards and we spoke.  She made mention that her company was hosting a contest with the winners (and runners up) having a chance to have their images published in the 2012 WildSorbet Catalog.

So long story short…

Look A WHOLE Full Page!  

Tana helped me pick this striped frame to go with my daughter’s room decor.

And did I mention… my image got a WHOLE FULL PAGE!

(Thanks Linda Simms, of Word Photography, for taking our picture.  The best thing about being at a photographer’s conference is that you will always find a photographer who will take your picture for you.)

IT’S RIGHT SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CATALOG!

What a FUN session!

While we met at Buffalo Bayou Park, and we stayed there for awhile; the fun didn’t begin until my little friend showed me one of her FAVORITE places… her trampoline.  And if we were going to become real friends, I would need to grab my camera and come play… which I did… which WAS SO MUCH GREAT FUN!

AFTERWARDS, we went to the Heights to a spot that we had scouted a week before during our consultation session… by then, my little friend was happier and we had some of our best images from the day.

I am so happy that this couple found and chose me as their photographer.

THANKS!
