Although I love still images, sometimes they have more impact when you can see them and hear them.  I’ve started utilizing a new service with which you can view your photos in a music video format!  This can be linked to on Facebook, Myspace, or even posted to YouTube if desired.  As I can, I’ll be making videos of some of my latest photo shoots to share with you.  If one particularly strikes your fancy, a DVD quality version is available for purchase.  Otherwise, you’re welcome to link to the lower res version on here.  I hope you enjoy them, and I’d love to hear some feedback with your reactions!

Natalie’s Senior Video

Ben’s Senior Video

It’s already been more than a month since I last blogged!  Wow!  How pathetic is that?  It’s been an incredibly busy month for me, and the people around me seem to have stayed just as busy!  Hopefully your month has been peaceful.  I’ll try to catch up a little bit here on some of the things from the last month.

At Easter, we were once again involved in the Sonrise Pageant at Southern Adventist University.  As we were setting up Friday, a large storm blew through and caused some damage around the area.  No one was seriously injured in this area, but lots of property damage.  Our house managed to catch a tree on the roof.  The insurance appraiser is supposed to be out at the end of this week, but so far no leaks or anything.  And, I got a chainsaw out of the deal, so a new toy to play with.

Paul has fun climbing on the roof after the tree fell on it.

On the photography side of things, I’ve had fun taking senior and family portraits.  Ben had his pictures taken up at the beautiful Fall Creek Falls State park.  The trees weren’t really leafed out yet, but it was still a beautiful day next to the water.

Natalie came down from Virginia for her Senior pictures.  She decided to go with Coolidge Park for a location, and we had another beautiful day with blooming flowers and bright blue skies.

Cindy and John are getting married in September, and wanted to start with some family portraits with the youngsters.  They also choose to do them at Coolidge Park.  What a great location to have here in town!  There’s plenty of variety and quite a few places that work well at different times of the day.

To round out the month, Melody came back over to the studio for some more modeling pictures.  We played around and experimented with a few different looks and ideas, but my favorite from the shoot were some moody high key images.  Here’s one of them.

High key mood

I think that encompasses most of the photo happenings the last little while.  There a new galleries to browse through if you want to see some images.  I’m still adding more, but there’s a decent selection up now.  I hope you’ve had a great April and as we move into May, we get to start thinking about a fun summer!
