10% off your order from the new website

This has been a long time coming. And for the past few weeks we have been working diligently finishing out Spectrum Photo's new shopping experience. We had some great feedback on our old shopping cart and allowed us to make some major changes. The first thing you will see is the ability to go full screen with your images! NICE. Second, you can actually create an account with us. This will save your cart indefinitely, save preference, and you will be the first to hear of any sweet specials we are doing. Good stuff right?

Anyways, check it out. http://www.spectrumphoto.biz. And we are celebrating. Take 10% off ANY order now until August 31. Enter the promo NEWSTORE at checkout.

And, since posts without photos are terrible, here are a ton of senior images :).

Keeping up....

To keep up with everything new and fresh from Spectrum Photo, check out our Facebook page. Updated often ;).

2012 Seniors!

We are ready for you!

We have our 2012 brochure ready. The best quality in town. Plus some pretty sweet savings. Sitting savings, package savings, free graduation announcements, all the good stuff!

Easter Mini Sessions

So sorry for neglecting this blog. We have had so many other things going on, plus deciding which way we want to go with our online presence. But I promise you, this blog will go on and be updated regularly :).

In fact, we will be offering fast, fun Easter Sessions starting April 9th and April 16th. Designed for people wanting fun photos of the little ones with special props or outfits for Easter. Sessions will last about 20 minutes and you will receive some cool stuff! See, I have always had my reservations about sessions like this. Not that it works, because so many people are good at it. I think this type of photography is out of element. I wouldn't feel comfortable meeting someone and bam, bam, bam! Shoot is over. We always try to spend time with our clients before the session to get to know them and their style. Offering quick sessions does not give us that ability.

But so many people asked. And, well, Im game to always go out of my element. Its going to be fun! I really excited! Click the photo above, or give us a call at 308.436.4422 for more information and to book your time. They are filling up so fast!

Email snafu

Not sure what happened, but we lost all emails sent through the last few weeks. If you have emailed us and we haven't responded yet, PLEASE send us another email. designteam@spectrumphoto.biz. Totally apologize for any inconvenience this brings.

Freshman Promotion

Just like last year we are hooking up Gering Freshman with Freshman Pix. If you are interesting in taking advantage of this promotion you can give us a call at 436-4422.


This is our First Freshman this year, we have several more on the book along with tons of seniors starting next week! Remember Freshman this is a way to have the coolest images of you on your facebook, myspace, and yearbook.

Finally got with the times

Reminder again - Senior Announcements

Lets not forget about those announcements. Graduation is a little over a month away and we want to make sure you have enough time to send out your announcement. If you haven't scheduled your appointment yet, call 436.4422 right away and get it done. We can have the announcements back super fast, but we need you to schedule right away.

The work load has been massive the past few weeks. I know, thats no excuse for leaving you guys hanging. We should have some cool photos up pretty soon. Plus we are updating our online presence. Not to mention some cool things ahead!

Senior Announcements

Here are just a few of the announcements we have been designing this year. We have expanded our ideas and embraced several new ways of designing them. Now we have the option of having them printed on fine art papers. Really cool stuff. Click on the images for an enlarged version.




I actually was caught off guard this year. Time went by so fast that I didn't think it was time to design announcements. Whether I liked it or not, we are designing announcement.

Engagement - March 6 2010

I was hoping to get some nice weather last Saturday, but we ended up with cold and snow.

And really, thats okay because we captured some awesome images. It wasn't extremely cold and I was thinking we should make some killer snow angels, but there wasn't enough snow to do that. Plus, I was afraid we would happen to sit down in some "leftovers" if you know what I mean.


And WOW!

Help us celebrate our 30th year in business. Give us a call or email us to find out how you can pick up one of these flyers.

To our wedding clients

We have loaded every wedding from 2009 to our website for our clients so you can finalize any order you need to. We are trying to finish up with our 2009 weddings to make room for our 2010 clients. Visit our proofing section and enter your password to access your photos. Remember, the password is the groom and brides first name with "and" in the middle (ex: johnandjessica).

For all of you 2010 brides, our local paper is running a wedding special within the coming weeks. If you haven't subscribed you can visit their website and contact them to do so.

I cannot believe it is March already. I woke up this morning, looked out the window, and noticed several birds in the back yard. Is that sign of warmer weather around the corner?

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.

fun shoot

We did a shoot a few years ago fore the sole purpose of the final print. Well, our customer came back with another idea for the shoot. Here is the original straight from the camera image:

The first shoot we did was for his daughter and focused on an old school bike, you know, the one with the large front wheel and small back wheel. The bike and outfit is hanging on the wall with the print of his daughter. This time he was able to find authentic an original football outfit on ebay. This stuff will now go on the wall with this print:

Totally cool! We are thankful he came back for this shoot because we create some custom textures to fit this photo. Plus I had an awesome time working on something like this.

Merry Christmas everyone! From our families to your, we wish you the very best and cannot thank you enough for supporting us through this year! Lets make the next year even better!

Happy Thanksgiving

From our entire families from Spectrum, we wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. Be thankful for all of the great things in your lives. I know we are thankful for each and every one of our clients.

Check back for a holiday recap and some photos next week. We are taking the rest of the weekend off to spend with our families!

The flu...

We have been hit by the flu bug. Sorry for any slow responses in emails or posts here on the blog. Check back by the end of the week, I'm sure we will be back by then.

New gallery wraps showed up today and they are amazing. Simply Canvas does such a great job! If you haven't stopped in and seen the new studio well, well I just do not know what to say...

Very Interesting

We are doing a little project on the Gering Courier, a local newspaper. In their archives we found the first printed newspaper. Check out the date....April 27, 1887! It's a nice piece of history on our hometown. Can't wait to finish the project and have it displayed around the city. Click the photo to make it larger.

Deadline fast approaching

We are finally cleaning up our storage and wedding rack. I cannot believe we kept 2002 weddings open. We truly apologize about not updating everything.

So part of our apology included a 10% discount to all of our clients that placed their order before February 15th. And the response has been huge! We appreciate everyone that has contacted up and are taking advantage of this offer. So, if you haven't yet contacted us do so. We are talking about some good savings here! Not to mention having one amazing wedding books.

The 2009 wedding season is looking better and better. Im excited to be traveling to Sidney a few times this year as well as Alliance, Wyoming and of course a few local weddings. Im so pumped for our clients this year.


Sorry about no photos or posts the past week or so. This time of year we are super slow and trying to catch up on several things. We haven't had many sittings; just working on commercial things. We will be going full speed again real soon.
