Having fun with family photo shoots

Thursday, June 30, 2011

Over the past few weeks I’ve had the opportunity to photograph some bigger groups.  Families, you know.  Mom & Dad, siblings, and more.  Very enjoyable clients too. I thought I’d share two images from recent sessions here today. This first image is part of the whole family.  Mom & Dad, and the siblings in the [...]

Cloud builds are starting! Hello Monsoon Season?

Wednesday, June 29, 2011

The past two days I’ve seen the clouds trying to form up.  It’s that time of year.  Torrential downpours, amazing thunder and lightening.  Monsoon season. Now maybe I’m getting ahead of myself.  For some reason though I’m really looking forward to the downpours and crazy clouds.  So much fun to photograph.  And then there will [...]

Portrait Package Pricing – Say that 3 times quickly!

Tuesday, June 28, 2011

Since I’ve started doing shoots for people I’ve been studying on how best to structure my pricing for clients.  It’s actually not the easiest thing.  The standard model, the digital only model, some type of hybrid…..  I’ve seen it all.  There’s no real pattern, no rule of thumb that I can divine from what I’ve [...]

Catherine Hall, photographer, TWiT Photo host, and more, has a fun little contest running.  Self portraits……. Really?  You entered a self portrait contest?  You gotta be kidding, Rich is rarely in [...]

Last night I stopped by my friend Paul’s new location.  More room, cool location, same superior quality custom boots.  Paul is now located in the Whiskey Row Alleyway.  You should stop in and say hi to him!

And now for something completely different – Photographing Bronzes

Friday, June 24, 2011

This morning Carol Wynne popped in to have me shoot a new sculpture that she’s working on.  There’s a client interested in the piece even before it’s been cast into bronze.  Very cool. Since I setup for her we went ahead and shot the rest of the pieces she has in here.  You know, all [...]

Let’s try this again – Introduction to Lightroom and Digital Workflow at The Art Store

Thursday, June 23, 2011

I keep getting asked about classes, but every time we schedule one folks cancel last minute, etc.  So, we’re going to give this one a whirl again as I have many requests for it.  Please note, to discourage last minute cancellations you must pay in full up front prior to the class, and by the [...]
