Some of My Artist's Favorites #2

When you photograph people for a living eventually you will create an image during the session that becomes your favorite.  It's that moment when everything clicks between you and your subject and you've captured what you envisioned prior to the session.  I have taken thousands of images of people over the years and in this posting I felt like sharing a few of what I've classified as my "Artist's Favorites".  I hope that you like them too.

Enjoy!

Carol's Gallery Wrap

One of the newest products that Portrait Corner Studio is offering its clients is wall size canvas and gallery wrap portraits. These products provide our clients with one of a kind "fine art" pieces to decorate their home or office. Unlike traditional photographs, these portraits are printed directly on to real canvas and then framed or hung as a gallery wrap.

Recently, the studio was commissioned by Carol to create a portrait of her lovely grandchildren. The portrait was being created to replace aging portraits of the the children that hung on the wall. Several images were created inside the home as well as outdoors and Carol settled on the portrait shown below.

Thanks, Carol, for the wonderful experience of letting us capturing the beauty of your grandchildren. It was fun and memorable.

Enjoy!

"U-Kids" (Fine Art Children Photography)

Portrait Corner Studio, LLC. is currently introducing our newest children photography product: "U-kids". "U-Kids" stands for "Urban Kids" and is intended for moms who have discriminating taste and want "fine art" portraits of their child. Unlike traditional studio photography and run of the mill chain store photography, "U-Kids" sessions are conducted outdoors, involves numerous locations, exciting backgrounds, bright colors, and cool clothing outfits.

"U-Kids" portraits are intended for display as large wall portraits or presented in a "fine art" album. To introduce our clients to this exciting product I've posted the following portraits from Na'ryah Damas' session. Na'ryah is 3 years old and is the daughter of Natalie Martinez. Na'ryah and Natalie had a blast during this session and I've never laughed so much during a child's portrait session. Na'ryah's antics were priceless.

As a special introduction to "U-Kids" photography, we are offering to the first ten mothers who book a session in the month of April a $25 dollar gift certificate towards the session fee. Take a look at the portraits accompanying this blog and give your child the experience of having this exciting and beautiful child photography. Session times are limited so call the studio today at: (954)921-7959 and make your session reservation.

Enjoy!

It's all about the shoes.

You can just visualize Na'ryah
as a young lady someday.

This is what you get when you ask a
3 year old if she has a a belly button.

No she's not a pretzel, but this is her
attempt at "crossing her legs" like an adult.

I love this pensive shot of Na'ryah.

Andrew's 1st Communion

The following 1st Communion session of Andrew was a delightful change from the traditional portrait session that we capture in the studio.  It was the idea of Andrew's mom, Vicki, and I'm really pleased with the casual, subtle treatment of this theme.  Although I captured many of the traditional poses associated with a 1st Communion, I truly wanted to enhance the personality of Andrew in a very striking way.  I wanted viewers of these images to be drawn into this young man's youth by using unique camera angles and body language.  I wanted each images to be a "slice of art".

I'm looking forward to creating more 1st Communion session in this manner.  It was fun and Andrew (and his brother) had a blast.

Enjoy!
