O'Brien Family Portrait: Delaware Portrait Photographer

I know it's been a while since I last posted. I just had to share this last family I worked with. It took us some time to nail down a session but once we did they rocked it. The O'Brien Family was such a blast to work with, once we figured out all the details and locations. What a truly great family to work with, they each had fun and poking fun at me as I almost fell off the dunes was just one of the highlights. Enjoy the teaser!

 

3-month old Baby D

I first met mom and dad “to-be” back in the spring for their maternity and newborn sessions.  Baby D was awesome during his session. I loved capturing his big 3-month-old smiles.  We really wore him out with all of those pictures because by the end, he was much more into the session this go around. Enjoy your sneak peek.

Aaron and Jenn: Centro Ybor and Tampa Engagement Photographer

I love when I get to photograph people I know. In the case of Aaron and Jenn.. we go way back. I've known Aaron for almost 11+ years. He is my brother-in-law and was in my wedding to his sister. When I went down to Tampa, we instantly thought of ideas of where we could best tell their story. We traveled to Centro Ybor and it was just perfect. We were only able to use 1/10 of the locations but the ones we used were Awesome. I can't wait for the wedding next year.

“A baby boy…one of the most beautiful miracles in life, one of the greatest joys we can ever know, and one of the reasons why there is a little extra sunshine, laughter and happiness in your world today.”

Delaware Newborn Photographer; Loving every little detail of month old Baby Peyton

I loved spending the afternoon at our studio with adorable baby Peyton.  We captured every little detail and all of her sweet expressions.  I especially love the mama shots.  Those always make me melt because I know how much mom will adore looking back on them in the years to come.  Enjoy your sneak peek!...

CD's vs Custom Prints: Delaware Portrait Photographer

When I first started many moons ago photographing high school sports parents always asked me the same questions. "Can I get those images on a disc?" My response was always yes. Without blinking an eye I would mail them a disc and watch them go off to that 24hr drug store and use the kiosk to print my images. Sometimes they would take them to Ritz or Cutler Camera and have them blown up for wall portraits. But I never thought about it more.

Now I like having the ability to make my own prints and that freedom. But then I got to thinking back to my computer classes in high school where we talked about how discs (at the time 3x5 disc) would break down or corrupt. Even the discs of today will not last forever. They too will be replaced someday with a new format. What will we do then?  Film is no longer the medium of choice; floppy discs are gone, and now dvd's are soon to hit the graveyard too.

Today, I still offer a disc of images, but I package it with custom wall prints and albums instead of a disc of a few images. It is amazing to see a custom wall portrait over your fireplace or sofa and that is a feeling you just can't get from a disc of images.

I'm not knocking those that only offer disc packages, I'm just educating my clients that there is more to a portrait than just a disc. Just because it is digital doesn't mean we take the photograph out of the equation. 10, 20 even 40 years from now those shinny discs will be useless, but those wall portraits will still be around and you can look at them with pride.
