and a new website
I took a little break in December. But I am still here. I have been working on a new site that combines me and my wife’s photography. You can check it out here. www.ourlittlestudio.comNot much to look at yet, but there will be.
We have also upgraded our photocart. Lots of new features. Check it out here.
We are looking forward to a great 2009. We hope you all have a happy new year and look forward to speaking with many past, and new clients!
I am seeking a creative family for a portrait. This will not be a typical portrait but an elaborate scene that I have visioned. This will be guaranteed wall print material. Heres what I need.
1. A large family, 9-13 people
2. No children under 11 years old.
3. You must be willing to take direction and be posed.
4. It may be cold, you will have to hang in there
.5. It will be at a location of my choice.
6. I don’t care who is included, aunts uncles, brothers, sisters.
7. You all must be family.
8. Must have fun.
And always remember, just because you do not know what I’m doing does not mean I don’t.
If you are interested please send me an email at Travis@theperfectpose dot com
Only one family will be selected.
So I came up with an idea today. It is kind of a secret right now. I have emailed it to all of my past portrait clients. An I will be announcing it within the next week or so. It is a pretty big deal. So keep checking back for more info.
Hi everyone, today I sent out our first official newsletter. I sent it out to a little over 400 people. So far 110 people opened the it, and 2 people reported it as spam. (they don’t know what they are missing) I am going to send them out only once a month, so I am not trying to flood your inbox with useless garbage. I work all month on trying to deliver useful information that you can use. I am also going to offer special deals and highlighted weddings. (one that you may have attended) I may even mention you! I am thinking about putting in a guys section. Since I am a guy, I know allot about guy stuff. I have a pretty big network of people I talk to and I am always hearing the latest and greatest. So hopefully you will find my monthly newsletter helpful and informative! If you would like to be added to the list just send me an email. travis@theperfectpose.com
Thanks everyone!
Travis
I have decided to put together a class that will teach you all the features of your digital camera. There are many features to your camera that you may not know about. You have made a significant investment in your camera. Why not learn what it is capable of. We will teach you how to take sharp pictures in low light. What megapixels and resolution mean. How to upload your pictures to your computer, and how to resize them for email. We will also answer any question you may have. It doesn’t matter what kind of digital camera you have. Just bring it down to our studio and we will explain everything.
Before you know it you will be using your camera like a pro!
The price for the one on one lesson is only $49
Call our studio today to schedule your lesson.

I have been using Lightroom 2.0 beta for some time now. I have just downloaded the full version and all I can say is wow. Adobe has out done themselves this time.
Some features I like the most.
Features I like the least
Overall this is a great program. Adobe may have shot themselves in the foot with this one though. I see no real need to use photoshop, except for very advanced editing operations.
Here are a couple studio shots. What do you think?



It’s kind of nice when you learn from one of the top 10 wedding photographers in the world. On Thursday, thats just what I did. Actually we spent about 4 days haning out. Although two of the days were filled with intense training. I learned so much about composition, and using every part of the frame to tell a story. We also had two lovely models Meg, and Shannon. Shannon is a former wedding client of mine, and she is just totally awesome. Meg is a professional model/actor. She tours the country with a perfoming comedy group called The Tartan Terrors. Please take a minute to check out her website. If you are a photographer and would like to learn more about the Shoot With Beckstead Workshop, please check it out at shootwithbeckstead.com The first three images are of Meg, the last two are Shannon.





Well it’s not here yet. But it soon will be. I love all the colors of fall, and the cool weather. I also love Halloween. It is one of my favorite holidays. You get to dress up, go to Halloween parties, and get candy.

Well this is pretty cool. Cecil County Tourism contacted me and said they would like to use one of my photos in their publications. They will be representing
Cecil County MD with the image. This same image was also recently published in the Magazine Cecil Soil.
