Amanda's Senior Session

Well today we had the pleasure of shooting Amanda's senior session. We had a blast. Amanda was a little shy at first but once we got going things were A O K. This young lady is a true beauty. Usually right after a shoot I go through the images and pick my favorite 6 or 7 to post to the blog. I do this by narrowing down a field of 10 or 15 images. At first pass on Amanda's files, I had a field of 40 to choose from....That's how photogenic she is.

Congratulations are in order as Amanda an Matt, the young man seen below, are engaged. We sneaked in a few shots of the two together for a mini engagement session. Sorry Matt but I don't think many people are gonna notice you in those pictures....I kid, I kid. Enough said enjoy the small sampling below.











WOW! Voted Dan's favorite picture!!!

Comments....Please post'em if you got 'em

We have had a few people lately leave comments on the different post here. We love it. Please feel free to leave comments we love to hear from you all. All comments must be approved by me but that is only because of SPAM issues. If I don't require approval then the comments would be a bunch of posts about Viagra and such. We might look into that once our clients age a few years but until then I want to keep the blog about you all and your sessions.

Changes....me is excited!!!!!

We finally decided on a designer for our new website today. With a little luck the new site should be online in the next week or so. I decided to keep the blog here at Blogger for the foreseeable future. I have been very happy with the blog and it's integration with all other Google services comes in pretty handy. While I'm talking about it I thought I might pass along some interesting stats about our blog. Since our launch in September we have had visitors from 10 countries and 30 states. When I saw that it kind of blew my mind. Anyway, the new roweportraitstudios.com site will be really nice with backgrounds that change from page to page, password protected proofing galleries, and lots of other really cool features. The plan is to keep the existing galleries that we have out there for a couple of months then they will be deleted. I'll post an update when we have this thing ready for the masses. Until then....PEACE!

A busy Sunday Part 3 "1:00 PM"

Isabella is 1 year old. My niece Isabella, Izzy Lou in my book, came over for some yummy cake Sunday. I fired off 400 shots while she just completely mowed down that cake. I think she though my daughter Briley might be near and she didn't want to share any of her cake. (That would have been a cage match for the record books.) Please enjoy what I'm offering up as a preview.

A busy Sunday Part 2 "11:00 AM"

Hello again twins. My friend Brian and his wife Shannon brought there twins, Houston and Bailey over to the studio Sunday for their 2nd 6 month picture setting. (Long story on that one, I tried to add a few months to their lives last time we shot them.) Any who, these kids are always fun to shoot and are great in front of the camera. I should apologize to all Colts fans as I'm sure that Brian will blame me for the Colts playoff loss to the Chargers. You see the session lasted a little longer than planned and Brian was 15 minutes late getting home to watch the game (bad mojo). So go ahead angry Colts fans I'll take the blame on that one. Check out these session samples:

A busy Sunday Part 1 "9:00 AM"

We were honored that Audrey allowed us to do her maternity portraits. Audrey works with Adrienne at the Ultimate Look and she is due any day now. We had fun getting these shots and I have to thank Chad, the proud Papa, for being such a good sport. I think these images show the mood of the soon to be family in a truly wonderful fashion. Enjoy this small sample of the images we captured that morning. Thanks again Audrey and Chad....Good luck. Oh and get a few good nights sleep while you can.

Derek, Laura, and Mackendree.

We had the pleasure of shooting this beautiful family today. Talk about photogenic. These folks did great....and that little Mackendree WOW! That's all I can say, WOW! That little girl has an amazing smile. We took in the neighborhood of around 500 pictures today and I love them all. It's going to take me longer to narrow them down than it will to edit them. I'm gonna take a page from Derek and get me a catfish dinner from Grandy's before I sit down to do that job. Anyway, Derek is heading to Iraq soon and we wish him the best of luck. Our thoughts are with you and thanks for what you're doing. Here are some sample shots of the family. Enjoy!

Daughters

Cathy, Taryn, and Carissa came to the studio today for their session. Cathy wanted to get some shots of her daughters together. It took me a while to get set up and going (hey, even photographers can stay out all night and party too...don't judge), but once we got going we knocked out some really great frames. As you can see, Cathy has two very beautiful daughters and getting good stuff for them was a breeze. Thanks for coming over girls. I hope you guys had fun. I know we did. Here are a few samples of what we got today.

Some time off and some Christmas presents

We took some much needed time off over the last couple of weeks, but we still managed to fit some customers in. I'm not going to post any of them quite yet though. All of the sessions were done as gifts so to keep from ruining the surprise, I'll refrain from posting just yet (you'd be surprised to see how many people look at this blog, I know I am).
