Samantha has traveled to New Mexico several times during the last several years. Her in-laws lived at the edge of a canyon overlooking the Rio Grande with national forest on the other side. The views are stunning, even in mountainous deserts aren’t your thing.
Samantha’s travels recently brought her to the Austin, TX area. While there, she was able to explore McKinney Falls State Park. She found beautiful old trees covered in ball moss, an ancient rock shelter, and water features running low during the winter.
We’ve also done work where we photograph products for clients. That means we also like to practice product photography on our travels. Here are some of Samantha’s photos of *things.* Some were for businesses, and some were to practice to craft.
It’s that time of year when we all wish it was a little warmer. Even better, we wish we were at the water! Here are some more of Samantha’s travel shots with water features from Michigan to Mexico and places in between!
Our work ranges far beyond family portraits and weddings. We’ve had opportunities to shoot war reenactments, homecomings of those in service, and promotion ceremonies for those in the military. “Thank you” seems inadequate to convey the appreciation we have for all those who have served. We both come from families with long histories of military service. To those who served, no matter the capacity, thank you. To those who are still serving our country, thank you. To be willing to lay down your life for the country you love is humbling.
We’d love to work with you if you have a loved one coming home from a deployment, or getting a promotion!
Here are some shots from a Civil War reenactment Samantha was able to shoot while working for a magazine in Franklin, TN.
Samantha has not been perusing photography as much as Meredith lately. That doesn’t mean she hasn’t been shooting away, though! Her family has been traveling a lot, so stay tuned for pictures from her travels. One thing she likes to capture is cool trees and their close up details. As you can tell, she’s a sucker for some Spanish moss and driftwood. Check out these beauties from south Georgia all the way to Wyoming!
This was another fun senior portrait session in the Marietta Square. This girl enjoyed walking around, seeing the sights, and posing with her dog. It was quite a hot day, and she soldiered through. She even took the time to change outfits in her hot car!
Congrats to all those who recently graduated and are enjoying their first summer out of high school!!
Schools are really stepping it up these days. I remember that my brother and I had to get our senior portraits taken during our senior year. I’m finding more and more nowadays that schools want the pictures submitted by the end of the students’ junior year!
I love shooting senior portraits because you really get to learn a lot about the subject’s personality in such a short time. This cutie met me in the Marietta Square a few weeks ago. She even brought her old headband she wore in her first ever school picture and put it on for a few pictures. Her mom joined us on the shoot, and you could see how proud she was of her little girl.
The Marietta Square is quickly becoming my favorite location for a photo shoot. The park in the center of the square is great, but there are so many awesome alley ways and hidden areas that are great backdrops. Sometimes it’s necessary to find those hidden spots because of all the events that happen in the park.
That’s exactly what happened this day. Little did we know that morning that there would be the Farmer’s Market, and a fundraiser event. Needless to say, the area was packed! We had to depend on the secret spots for our shoot. And what a great shoot it was! I was delighted to photograph a family I knew from an old job of mine. I hadn’t seen the twins in a year and it was nice to see what sweet young ladies they’re becoming. Their parents decided to join us at the end for a few family pictures. Who can resist a funny face picture, especially with three youngsters?!
We’re having a special this summer on mini sessions held in the Marietta Square. We’re available Saturday mornings and evenings all summer. The sessions are 30 minutes and only $50! You’ll get all your images not only on a DVD, but also on an online password protected gallery where you can order prints and products. Call or email us to book your session!
