Fun in the Rain, Event Photography, Senior Models and more
Blogging again. I like talking about my photos. But I’m not crazy about my blogging software. Otherwise I’d blog a lot more… I have a lot of respect for those that maintain incredible blogs… It is a LOT of work.
That said, here are a few photos from yesterday. I spent about a half hour wandering in my yard with the little camera set in close-up mode. Photographing nature in the rain is almost easier than photographing it on a beautiful sunny day. The light is soft and the colors tend to be richer. I got three favorites, so this will be “Photo Diem Cubed”
This week Dixie and I ventured to West Chester to attend a two day conference on Event and Church Directory Photography. Event photography is and industry term that covers almost any type of photography that happens outside of the studio. It includes pictures of sports leagues, pre-schools, scouts, parties, and about a billion other things. We’ve been doing that stuff for a long time, but it is always nice to pick up tips so that we can do it better
Church directory photography is an area where we are looking to get some experience. I’m sure we can do a better job than the big chains. It’s just a matter of getting into a small to medium church and getting started. If your church hasn’t had a new directory in several years, feel free to contact us!
We also photographed Angela Taldone, a senior model from PV this week. Angela is a great girl and did a great job modeling. We captured her in several outfits. I put a teaser shot up here. We will have more on the senior models in a future post.
That’s all for today… Now let’s see if I can format this blog so that it looks half decent…

One of the most exciting jobs for a photographer and their assistants is the fun they have working with the clients. Two of our senior models were in our studio just the other day having their second set of portraits taken. Tyler Kenny was one of our senior models from Pocono Mountain East. Tyler was the first girl we shot that day and her fun personality made the shoot a pleasure to be assisting on. We started by taking some shots of Tyler in the studio with various backgrounds and props we have lying around the studio. After our inside work was done we ventured outside and walked around the neighborhood and shot in various places. The weather that day was a little gloomy but that made for perfect picture lighting. Luck must have been on our side that day because it started to sprinkle just as Tyler’s session was over.
Later in the day we had the pleasure of shooting Katie Kenny. Katie is one of our senior models from Pleasant Valley. Katie was very easy going and a breeze to shoot. She was very good at posing like a true model would. We started out by taking some contemporary shots of Katie inside our studio. After we were done inside we grabbed our gear and headed outside. By this time the light sprinkle had stopped. We traveled down the road and took some cool shots with Katie posed on and by various objects in the neighborhood such as a cemetery gate, telephone pole and by a flowering dogwood tree. Both of the Kenny’s also got to have their pictures taken by some beautiful purple irises outside of our studio. The irises only bloom for a few days so only the privileged Kenny models got to capture their true beauty. After their sessions were over we took video interviews of our models.
Check out some of the photos from their shoots by clicking on the images shown above once to enlarge them.

Shoot senior models or do taxes?
Brooke was a senior model from last year
Getting back into the swing of things is really tough after a 4 day weekend. I have to attend to the “business” side of things today instead of the creative side. That’s why I’m blogging now. ”Blogging” could be a synonym for “procrastinating”. Ha!
I really should be getting my reports ready for the tax accountant, but instead I’ve been hanging backgrounds, surfing the web, eating, goofing off… You know, putting off the inevitable taxman.
Once that’s done though, I get to shoot a senior model! That will be fun. Today we will be photographing Carolyn Wert from Stroudsburg and I’m looking forward to it. So far we’ve photographed four models and have several more to do. I’d post her photos here, but we are waiting until we photograph more models in order to make the “Grand Announcement” with the galleries on the web and all.
Anyway, I should probably stop blogging and be the responsible taxpayer. It’s fair to say that the government needs my tax dollars. Haha. My tax dollars will probably only pay a nanosecond’s worth of interest on the national debt. But that’s all fodder for someone else’s blog…
