Family photos sequence

Click the photos to enlarge them. Man I had so much fun with this sitting. You can see more on our facebook page!






So much fun with this little man.

Children Session

We are updating our Facebook Page more and more these days. If you subscribe to the blog, head on over to our Facebook and check out our updates.

Another awesome morning. Had a session with familiar faces again. Man how I love that! I am so blessed to have met such a wonderful couple that has now expanded their family. We had to take some photos of the little one again this morning. The final plan is to create a fantastic storyboard of his first year.


This time around, since it was negative 10 outside and snow all over, we had to shoot outdoors in some nice light.


Of course, wanted to incorporate everyone in photos. And we had to hit up that swing. See if he liked it.

And you know, we have to try something new every session. And chances are the kids do not like it. As below.

Classic!

Easter Sessions wrap up

I had so much fun photographing all of the little kids that came in the past few Saturdays for our Easter Sessions. I'm telling ya, I think this might be a yearly thing. We have never offered mini sessions that had a theme to it. But after the response we got, and of course all of the fun we had, I really had a blast!

Head on over to our Facebook Page to look at our Easter Sessions.

And of course, all posts need a photo in it

Here are some kids for ya

A mutual friend hooked us up. I can't express enough thanks for our wonderful clients & friends. Word of mouth is always the best business and majority of our business is returning client. I was lucky enough to spend an hour or so with these three. The kids really love trains so we drove down to a little place and snapped some photos.


They also like making a ton of faces.


And of course we had to get some with mom :)

Family Specials - the results

It feels like Monday. I am drained from the weekend and still need an extra day to catch up. Luckily we have a slower day in the studio. I cant get caught up on some wedding things :).

Earlier this year we waived our session fee for any families that wanted to share our 30th year of being being in business with us.

This family came in and Ken had a blast with making the little one laugh. It was such a good time and they have such a beautiful family. And we also have another free session booked for this afternoon. Aside from today, the schedule this week is completely PACKED full of sessions.

Oh Hi!

Its been a while, almost a month to be exact. We are in the middle of "End of the school" rush and I have been trying to get as much done as possible to help out the girls here in the studio. Also, we really haven't photographed much. And to be honest, I have been updating my Facebook a ton more than the blog. Maybe thats the way to go?
Things are changing though. We are getting into wedding and senior season. I am so excited! My first wedding of the year will be next week. Plus I will be traveling to Silverton Colorado to photograph a wedding! Finally... destination here I come.

If you haven't already stopped in and filled out our free family sitting give us a call or stop in and we will get you one. And I know I have said this before, but keep on the look out for some awesome things for 2011 seniors.

We are celebrating our 30th year

This year is truly an exciting year for us here at Spectrum. Myself, Ken, Jeanne and Kat would like to say thanks! Thank you to all of our wonderful clients/customers for allowing us to do what we love for 30 years. We have some really cool ideas coming up this year and we are releasing some new school and wedding products. PLUS, we will be celebrating our 30th year by giving back to our customers.

And I apologize for not keeping this blog updated with great images. I will get on that right away :).

She happen to come in all smiles. We had two outfits. This second one grandma requested. The baby blanket has been in the family for generations and she was actually photographed on it. Pretty cool to hear stories like that.

2nd post in January!

Man, we are such slackers! Well, not really. I have been really busy here at the studio and related at home projects. I swear I haven't totally neglected the blog, just in a slow slump right now!

We have a few things to share which I will be working on in the coming days. This photo was from a Christmas Family session we did shortly after Christmas.

What a crew!

Not sure if I blogged about this family yet; Ken had an awesome time taking their photos and everyone were troopers.

It's crunch time at the studio and I have been working on everything for Christmas. As a reminder, we will be open Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. And I think we are staying on top of things that you can place your last minute order on Tuesday and we can have it ready on Wednesday. You know... for all of you last minute shoppers :).

Children - Scottsbluff

Talk about Stagnant. We have been busy here in the studio. Plus I have been out the past week working in the great outdoors. Let's get back on schedule.

Just 2 to share from this sitting. I have to go through several sittings and grab a few from each. Can you believe we are still photographing seniors this time of year?

Great time for family photos

Thats right, bring your family in for a family session. Even if you do not want the entire gang, bring your kids in for a short session. That's what they did. It makes for a great holiday gift or card.

Boy was it a great weekend. Not only did we have 2 weddings, the duck hunting was awesome. You can check out some photos from our opening weekend hunt by visiting my facebook. You might have to add me as a friend.

So, that means wedding photos to come. Plus tons of more seniors to share. Another week full of photos :).

Family - Scottsbluff Nebraska

Im about 2 weeks behind because I remember photographing this family when it was pretty nice outside. We were out of the office yesterday photographing at Gering High School, then had a few seniors in the afternoon. I had a great shoot out at the badlands while Ken photographed another senior around some nice fall colors. Photos to come soon.

But first....


The session took place in Scottsbluff even though they live in Brighton Colorado. I was pretty excited when asked to photograph them because their little girls is such a doll!



We just walked around behind the zoo and let her do her thing.



We finally made it to the new park, which is awesome by the way. I like this image the best.

It's duck hunting weather today! Too bad I have to wait 2 more days.

We have the coolest clients

Let me introduce you the the Beliel 12.

I cannot remember the exact year we started photographing this family. I do know we first met when we photographed the oldest's senior photo. I can even remember how the consultation/order went. And since then, we have photographed the family a few times, all 3 children's senior photos and two weddings. Really, it's so nice to call these people friends rather than clients.

Session in progress...

Whew, I photographed these two little guys and their parents last week. The first session finished with one of them crying like no other. So we rescheduled for another time.

Session two went so much better, but these two are such a handful we had to improvise to get them to sit together. I was able to snap this shot of them which is think is totally adorable.
We have another session scheduled this week. We are going to head to the park and work them over :). Im pretty excited.

Family session in the midst of Seniors

What a fantastic weekend. It was great seeing old friends and hanging with people I haven't talked to in years. I was a bit disappointed with the food fair though. It seemed like every other booth had the same food. There was no real variety.

Before OT days Ken photographed this family. We have been taking photos for the YMCA for a while now, and they are a huge part of it. Volunteers makes the Scottsbluff YMCA a great place to be a part of. I would suggest anyone to get a membership there. Isn't this gal such a cutie?

More seniors coming up this week so check back often to see some new and great photos.

I had the smoothest session

I haven't seen this family since his 5 week old photos. Boy has this little guy grown! The parents told me his is a little ham, but I had no idea...

I had the hardest time trying to snap him without a smile. And the rule is, if he is posed in husker attire...

... then he must also be in some Cowboy gear.


I don't know if he was just all pictured out or if he didn't like the husker outfit, but he was done. Nah.... it couldn't of been the otufit :).

Returning clients

As I mentioned before, a great portion of our business is returning clients. We have photographed this couple for a very long time. Last year they called us and wanted photos with their little one. They live in Eastern Nebraska and every year they come back for photos. Its so great to see their little daughter getting so big! Not to mention the "other" furry kids :).

We have some great things coming up...

It's summer! That means wedding season and senior season! We have our first senior on the books in June and the first wedding of the year tomorrow. I will be heading to Sydney to photograph an awesome couple. The party is going to be spectacular!

We will be launching a contest really soon. We will gear it towards everyone, returning and new clients. Really excited to offer some free stuff!

Speaking of returning clients, Ken photographed this family earlier this week:

They recently had the little one wanted to show him off with the family. Congrats guys, he is a beautiful little boy!

Stay tuned everyone.

Check out this guy...

Ken photographed this little guy earlier this week. The little one had a few moments where he did not want to get his photo taken, but Ken managed with a little coaxing with a baseball.
