Letting the Artist Out

Elsa, Paul & Marta

Sometimes we just can't help ourselves . . . it's fun letting the artisic side show through !  We took the original portrait (below) of these guys back in November and wanted to kick it up a "notch".  With a little imagination and a couple of Photoshop tricks you see the result. So, if you ever get the urge to put something a little different on your wall, maybe we could interest you in one of our special touches.

Collin's Debut

This little guy has been to the studio twice since arriving in the world.  Although he and his parents live far away, they've got family ties here and we're glad they made the long journey back for the visits !  It's always a joy to have a happy baby to photograph . . . and he IS a cutie !!!

Snow Days

Bethany and Brandon - October 3, 2009

These guys had a "two-county-wedding" on October 3 last year and, WOW !, what a great day we had for photography.  You can access their album photographs by going back to our site and clicking on the "Events" page (or use the handy link on the right).  There, please enter the ID   bethanyalbum   and you'll get a scope of a VERY busy day for Paula and myself.  Thanks Bethany and Brandon for showing us some great new "picture spots" and for being such patient subjects !

and now it's Engagement Season !

Traditionally, Christmas and Valentine's Day are the two most popular times for couples to get engaged.  We are constantly being asked by brides to see samples of our wedding photography, but so many couples are living and working out of the Somerset area. That makes it more and more difficult to visit our studio for a "first look" kind of meeting.  Well, to try and keep our potential brides up to date on our photographic style, we'll be posting actual wedding coverage and albums on our "Events" page of the website.  All you need is the ID code and you can look to your heart's content.

Scott and Jenna were one of the last weddings held at the Mountain View Inn near Greensburg.  It was a beautiful Fall day and made for lots of great outdoor photographs.  To view their entire day, as any bride and groom would do for their own day, please go to the "Events" page by using the handy link in the column to the right and type in  jennaandscott  to see what we see from start to finish !  Then to see their completed album, type in  jennasalbum 

Keep in mind the album views are as if the book were open, so the blue line through the middle of each layout is to indicate the left and right hand page.

 

 

Brian and Kathleen were married on the UPJ campus with the ceremony taking place in the Chapel and the reception in the Living and Learning Center.  And yet another beautiful Fall day made for the results you'll see in their album.  Their ID code is  clawsonalbum 

ENJOY !

A Summer Wedding Video

Here's a little collection of images from Jenna & Rus's wedding this summer.  Videos are just one more way to utilize the abundance of shots we take at every wedding.  Please call us for all the details.

Enjoy !

More Athletes We Know

Wow, Fall is such a busy time for high school sports and we were fortunate (and very pleased) to have photographed so many of the teams and players you see below.

At this writing, Somerset's volleyball team is still in the hunt for a state title after defeating Marion Center last night.  Keep it up ladies !!!

Here are the senior members enjoying the limelight !  (or is it ORANGE-light?)

 

Jill Leadbetter, a cross country runner from Somerset, is heading for the state competition soon.  Good Luck Jill !!!

. . . and don't let anyone pass you !

 

Somerset Football Team Senior Members

 

Basketball season is still a few weeks away, but the Northstar girls team is really on the ball (no pun intended) !  Thanks to coach Ed Danel and his wife, Kathy, we were able to shoot the team over the Labor Day weekend in time to get their schedule posters printed up for the season opener.  Daughter Chelsea is in there and has been a standout for the volleyball team, too, as they are looking to make another run at the state title.  Good Luck to BOTH teams !

Somerset's Squad for 2009 - 2010 including smack dab in the middle . . .

This really IS a tough job !!!
