Holiday Hours

Its crunch time! We are finishing our last Christmas orders and will have everything ready to go Friday, December 21. Just in time!

Our studio will be closed for the holidays on December 22 and we will not open back up until January 2. Its a nice little time to relax and refresh and most importantly spend time with family and friends. Dont worry though, this blog will be updated through the week :).

To remind all of our clients, tomorrow will be your last day to pick up any orders.

December 15 - Wedding in Gering, NE

Ken photographed a wedding at the Gering Methodist Church. The couple is in military and were able to come back to Gering to get married. Along with the 8 inches of snow on the ground, it was very cold!

Take a look at them getting ready:



A nice photo of the groom:


It was a candlelight ceremony, with tons of Christmas decorations!


The sister of the bride gave an amazing toast:



We headed upstairs to the honeymoon sweet to capture a few photos:


Enough said:

I almost forgot...

Seniors!




We had twins stop in for their senior sitting yesterday. Everyone braved the cold and snapped a few cool shots outside. Check out that bike!

Happy Holidays everyone!

What is a tree without a Husker ornament! Actually, its a bead necklace I picked up in New Orleans during the recovery efforts after Katrina. The beads are so fitting for the tree though.

Ken is photographing the last 2007 wedding tomorrow. Be sure to check back for some awesome photos plus the 07 recap. Also, we downloaded the update for Safari (now 3.0.4) and I am having problems with blogger. Safari will crash on me when Im working in blogger. The photo uploaded also acts weird. I can now see the html icons, but it crashes!!! Anyone else having this problem?

Sweet in Pink!

Ken snapped this sequence from a recent sitting. We have photographed this little darling since she has been born. We love returning clients :).

December 11, 2007

Its snowing.... again. All this past weekend it snowed and was below freezing. And today I woke up to huge snowflakes falling again! Im going to try and make it out to snap a few photos :).

Sooo, since it was too cold for a 5 month old, we stayed inside and got a few good shots. The father is a buddy of mine, in fact more of a brother from another mother. He is also a firefighter from Gering (not as green as Levi). They decided to come in and get some Christmas photos. It will be a kick when it warms up and we get to go outside! Clicking on a photo will enlarge it.

I think he will be a great big brother :)

I just had to post this! See, when you come to Spectrum for some photos and you dont have fun and smile, the punishment is wet willies!

GHS Gallery updated

As a reminder to everyone, there are less than 2 weeks until Christmas. We are busy filling Christmas orders and if you want your photos before Christmas PLEASE CALL NOW!!!

We do other things too!

Go Bo!

In excited! Apparently, Tom Osborne will name Pelini as Nebraska's new head coach. Among all of the names swarming the media, Bo has been my favorite because he is a stand up, no nonsense guy. Even though this will be his first time as a head coach, I think he has what it takes.

This year has been gut-wrenching to watch. Along with everyone else, I wanted Kevin Cosgrove as the D.C. to be gone. But I felt Callahan deserved one more year. I think he's a good coach. He just calls bad plays at times. Everyone makes mistakes. Dont get me wrong, I will not miss him. I just hope this will not hurt recruiting. I know tons of players that liked his offense. And I do think we need to have a balance of passing and running. I loved the old days of pounding it on the ground, but times have changed and I think we need to keep the passing game.

This is big. Who else wanted Pelini?

We need some help! **Contest Included**

I hate when things stay the same, and we haven't updated certain parts of our website for a while now. So, I need your help.

For now we want to focus on this years seniors. We would like all 2007/08 Spectrum seniors to submit a testimonial for our website. A huge part of our business relies on referrals and we wouldn't have it any other way. This is why I would like to keep our testimonial section updated constantly. We have received quite a few in the past few months. But I want to load this puppy up!

So, email designteam@spectrumphoto.com. Tell us about your experience with Spectrum. Be truly and brutally honest! Tell me what you liked, or disliked about your senior photos. Be personal in every way, we want to hear your thoughts, feelings, everything! Write one sentence or 5 paragraphs, it doesnt matter. And if we use your testimonial on our website, it will include your full name. If you are not willing for your thoughts to be published with your full name, thats ok! Still send us your thoughts and let us know you wish to keep it between us :)

The best part, two random people will win EITHER a $25 gift card to iTunes or a $25 gift card to Movie Gallery (your choice). To make it clear, there is no judging. This will be random. So do not....DO NOT... play up your testimonial to make it sound so good you are sure to get the gift cards. I want real, honest, opinions. Again, designteam@spectrumphoto.com.

We will give out the gift cards sometime next month. This is another way we want to thank our clients :).

One more thing. Ken has one more wedding on the books, but in the near future we will be posting a very special post recapping all 2007 weddings. I'll hope to get that out soon.

Have a great Friday!
