Our Bunny Sessions are Back!

14 Thursday Mar 2019

Posted by Visual Impressions Photography in Uncategorized

≈ Comments Off on Our Bunny Sessions are Back!

I cannot believe this is our 16th year of bunny goodness! I can tell you I remember every little face I photograph and every year I can’t help but reminisce over how big most of my clients have gotten (of course really I just refer to these little ones as my kids in my head). Some of them are now 16 and in their Junior year of high school.

What I look forward to every year (besides sharing in awe of the growth spurts) are the hugs and smiles I see every time a little girl or boy holds one of our bunnies. Each year we work exclusively with a professional breeder to get bunnies that have been well taken care of and acclimated to people so they are good with our kids. To better reduce the stress our little bunnies experience we often work with 8 different bunnies to make sure they are calm, happy, and ready for their close up.

This year our background encompasses a crisp clean spring feel. With white tones and florals, this set is perfect for bringing out the color and skin tones of each child.

To celebrate a new year and the first in our new studio space we are offering our bunny sessions for a whole week this year! April 1st – April 7th. 9-5p.m. Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun, & 12-8p.m. on Wednesday. We also want to offer an extra special value this year by making the sessions just $45 (good for up to 4 siblings) and if you mention our blog you will receive a complimentary digital file with a package purchase.

This bunny is actually my daughters and his name is Xing (pronounced Ying)

To make scheduling easier this year, we have listed our sessions on Eventbrite. You can sign up for your preferred time Here. If you don’t see a time that works for you call me directly as they do go fast ~ 503-320-3076.

I can’t wait to see my returning friends and make many new ones. Feel free to reach out to me at the number above if you have any questions. To view our prices click here.

Childrens Portraits, photography, Photography career

Photography is a great industry – there are a lot of great people involved. For those of you interested in a career in photography here is my two cents – 
Start by gaining a mentor, someone you can shadow and learn from.
Put in the time to learn the skills you need to be a productive and positive addition to our industry.
It takes time, investment, and passion to live what you love.
It is worth it and you will gain great friends.

Getting the Best Christmas Candids

21 Wednesday Dec 2011

Posted by Visual Impressions Photography in Uncategorized

≈ Comments Off on Getting the Best Christmas Candids

We all have that moment; when the kids are tucked around the tree, a gleam in there eye, all the presents silently waiting to be unwrapped while we find ourselves without our cameras. If you are like me you will grab your phone or the nearest IPOD available. While these are great devices it is often better to prepare a camera and avoid the lag time often found in phone or IPOD cameras.

Two days before Christmas take the time to charge your camera’s batteries and place the camera in a convenient place near the Christmas tree. This way when you are stumbling out of bed at 5a.m. you won’t have to search for it, instead you can just grab it and start capturing those memories.

Lighting: When capturing candid images on Christmas morning it is easy to get really dark images or images with too much flash. If you have an SLR camera with an exterior flash try bouncing the flash off of the ceiling or other large white service. This will give you the light you need but with a softer effect. If you have the option to choose a slow shutter speed with flash this is the best as it will allow some of the ambient light from the Christmas lights into the image while the flash will still freeze the subject. This option can cause some interesting results though so have fun with it.

Placement: Try and prepare the area you will be unwrapping presents in before hand. Now obviously we expect the mayhem of a Christmas morning but try and avoid general clutter as this will detract from your overall image. Couches make great backgrounds but dining chairs often create a busy feel to an image.

Clothing: In our house we don’t often (never) get dressed before starting our Christmas morning. For this reason I often will buy the kids special pajamas just for the Christmas morning images we love to create. As for us parents, it is important to make sure we are in some of the pictures as well. I suggest wearing something you wouldn’t mind be photographed in and pony tails are great for taming the “morning” hair. I will also use a cute Christmas cap to hide my bed head since I have short hair.

Have Fun: These suggestions are only meant to help create images we will be proud to put into our albums. They are only suggestions, the most important thing is to have fun and Merry Christmas.

Christmas Giveaway, CONTEST, FREE PHOTOGRAPHS, FujiFilm, fujifilm instax, Photography Specials, Win a Camera

This Christmas Season I am offering something special to my clients. In addition to our annual drawings for a winner of a portrait session on Christmas Eve and New Years, we have decided to offer another fun little contest; see below for details on all three chances to win big.

In order to be entered into the Christmas Eve and New Years contest you have to “Like” us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/VisualImpressions and include a post with your favorite picture of yourself. This can be funny, serious, or just plain wacky (keep it appropriate though people this is a family business LOL). Along with your picture please include a few words about us or our work, make sure your comments/photo’s are public or I won’t be able to see that you posted. Once this is completed you will be entered into the drawing and a random name will be drawn on Christmas Eve and posted at Midnight! Similarly you will do the same thing for the New Years Drawing only this time you will also include your New Year’s Resolution!

This is going to be fun. Now about the fun little contest we are adding this year; We will be giving away a FujiFilm instax 210 camera!

This is a great camera and much better than the old Polaroids. To get your hands on this pretty little number just “like” our page (link above) and post a link on your page (public please) along with what you would do with it. Let the fun begin. The instax will be given away on the 24th of December at random. (One entry per day).

Good luck and Merry Christmas!
