Do you need a vacation???

The Day After

I am now offering a really cool session.  It is called the day after session.  Here it is in a nutshell.  Time fly’s on a wedding day, you have a million things going on.  We may not have time to go to all the locations you want and still get to the reception in time to cut the cake.  So, this is what we do.  We relax have fun and get some great images.  Here’s what we do the next day.  We get you back in your dress and him back in his Tux.  Then we do what ever you want, we can get some really dramatic shots with no pressure.  Just us out having fun.  I have a ton of people already asking me about this, so if you want to know more just send me an email or give me a call. Check it out  http://www.theperfectpose.com/DayAfter.htm

I second shot this wedding with a good friend of mine Mark Gardner.  What a cool wedding!  We set up a “photo booth”.  I will post pictures of that later.  Thanks Mark for letting me hang with you.

This one is for Izzy

Light Room 2 Beta

I am currently testing the Beta version of Adobe Light Room 2.0  This is the awesome program I use to sort and choose my wedding favorites.  I simply load the photos into the library, and scroll through them and choose all the photos I would like to display.  It has truly cut my time in half, which means you can see your photos much faster than the old film days.

Denise Dan & Olivia

Triple the fun.  I often see that many people simply stop with one image.  Why not go beyond what the average person would do and give your photos a touch of you.  These three beautiful photo were created special for the couple below.  They now have them hanging on their wall a 3 piece canvas art set.  Just send me an email or leave a comment if you like them.

Cool Stuff From The Perfect Pose

I just wanted to mention some things we have on our ala-cart price list. You can include these things in your wedding photography packages as well.

1. Album Credits: You can add an album credit to your selected package for more pages, cover upgrades and parent albums.   

2. Print Credits: Get credit towards wedding and engagement prints. We offer custom canvas, story boards, metallic, and many other cool print products.

3. Traveling Studio: This is my newest and coolest feature. We set up two lights, a backdrop, and a camera with a remote. Basically, you or your friends step in front of the camera press the button on the remote and your picture is captured. It is the same principal as a photo booth you would see at the beach. (Funny and embarrassing faces our encouraged!)

4. Dress Fitting Session: You don’t see this very often. But think about it. Your dress is one of the most important parts of your wedding day. Why not capture the first time you get to try it on? This is an important moment that most people look over.

5. Bridal Session: We can do this before or after the wedding. Just you and your dress. We can have fun, we can trash the dress. What ever you want to do.

6. Engagement Guest Book: This is a big hit with pretty much everyone. Basically it is a 6×9 book of photos of your engagement session designed in a way that your guests can sign. This is not a typical blank book full of empty pages. This is a representation of who you are.

7. Parent Albums: These are exact duplicates of your wedding album shrunken down to save space and money. Your parents can have a beautiful copy of your wedding album.

Happy Mothers Day

Happy mothers day to all you moms out there.  Especially to my mom and wife!  Love you girls.

10 ways to beat high gas prices

1. Stay in Tune – It’s simple: vehicle maintenance saves gas. Use the recommended motor oil, replace dirty air filters, keep tires — including the spare — inflated to the proper pressure, and tune up your engine.

2. Cool It, Mario Andretti – Flooring the pedal at every green light, then slamming on the brakes at the last minute, guzzles gas at a surprising rate. More moderate driving can save over 30 percent of the gasoline you use.

3. Lighten Up – When summer vacation rolls around, keep the luggage off the roof rack and carry as little weight as possible. Those extra pounds in the trunk or backseat make the engine work harder and consume more fuel.

4. Take a Hike – Do you really need to drive? For shorter trips, it often makes more sense to walk or ride a bicycle. It’s not only good for your wallet, it might also be good for your waistline.

5. Idle Hands – Idling in traffic does nothing to save gas or money, not to mention your stress level. Avoid rush hour or busy commuter routes.

6. Go Shopping – Shopping for a new vehicle? Consider the long-term savings that a hybrid or alternative fuel vehicle might give you. Some cities and states also offer great incentives like rebates, access to carpool lanes and free metered parking for hybrid or alternative fuel cars, trucks and SUVs.

7. Lose the Leadfoot – Driving the speed limit doesn’t just keep the police off your tail. You can save up to 14 percent on longer trips by reducing your speed.

8. Take a Cruise – Using cruise control can yield surprising increases in fuel economy. If your car is so equipped, try using it on the freeway to keep your speed at a consistent rate.

9. Critical Mass – Take the bus, train, subway or other mass transit and leave the car at home.

10. Alternative States – The alternatives to standard gasoline are growing in number and popularity. Biodiesel, the blend of gasoline and ethanol known as E85, and other alternative fuels aren’t available everywhere yet, but check to see if your car can accept what’s sold in your community.

Blog News

Hey everyone, blogs are the new big thing so mine is going to have some cool new features coming soon!  You may see some changes going on.  But I am in the process of getting everything together.

Party Like a Rockstar

Hot off the press!

Xtra Xtra read all about it!  My new studio is in the Cecil Whig.  Mark Gardner and I have teamed up to create Xpressions Studio.  The local news paper came down and interviewed us a few weeks ago and we made it into the Cecil Business Ledger.  Now Mark and I still shoot wedding separately but we decided we need a place to meet our clients and increase our portrait business.  So we both worked xtremely  hard to put together a very comfortable and relaxing place.  It is in North East MD on Main St.  Swing by and check us out.

Whats all this talk about Travis making a Movie?

That’s right boys and girls.  Travis is making a movie.  I have some really cool ideas.  I am going to make a movie kind of like Sin City.  It will have some crazy camera angles and some funky style editing.  I am looking for some actors to help me out.  So if you are interested just send me an email and I can give you the scoop. Why?  Well I just bought a canon hv-30 video camera and I want to take my photography to the big screen.  So check back often for updates, and maybe even a trailer. I will still be doing wedding photography full time.  But I need to create some more things for my mind to be at ease.  It seems to be if I am not creating something I find myself not being myself.
