Artwork Refresh: What’s New in 2022?

Over the next week or so, I’ll be updating my portfolio with images from 2021, but for now, I am excited to share my new home page slideshow featuring artwork I’ve created for my clients. My desire to help families preserve their photography is a response to a growing concern that I’ve heard echoed over the past decade: organizing and printing digital photos is overwhelming. That overwhelm leads to procrastination and then procrastination to an underlying anxiousness that we won’t be able to find our photos when we finally have time to do something with them. 

Headshots Day in Cranberry Township: February 5th

New year, new headshot; or maybe it’s been more than a few years?  Well, Saturday, February 5th is a great time to update your headshot with Captivating Imagery at the Cranberry Township Community Center. With three looks (grey, black, and white) and your choice of three retouched final selections, you can communicate your professionalism and personality visually.  Just 30 minutes and your gallery of proofs will be emailed to you that following Monday.

Celebrating Our Family Story With A Wall Gallery

When I walk down my steps to go out of my front door, I pass through a gallery of framed prints lining the walls of my stairs.  It’s like walking through a photo album of some of our sweetest moments from the time my boys were babies up through the present day.  It’s a gallery that grows with our family, and of course, it features some of my favorite artwork!  Our boys enjoy looking at the photos and talking about which portraits are their’s, how old they were, and what was happening at that time.

Looking Back on 2021 with Gratitude

Last year this time, I was tentatively preparing for a big switch to full service sessions, with an emphasis on creating tangible artwork for my clients and no longer selling digital files.  I could see the benefit in serving my clients by providing a complete experience from planning through delivery of artwork.  But my timing of making this transition after the shut-down in 2020 required a lot of faith.  Was this a good move, or would I hear crickets?!?

First Birthday Portraits: Let Them Eat Cake!

I really enjoy cake and I love seeing others enjoy it too!  Like at weddings when the bride and groom feed each other. But even better than that is when a baby turns one and the family celebrates with a smash cake.  Here’s a sweet baby boy and his loving family that are sure to brighten your day.  We held the cake for the end of the session, naturally!  So we started with some family portraits in the living room and then went to the birthday boy’s room where his mom decorated his crib.
