{Keith + Desyré} Engagement Session

Well it’s been quite a while since I have posted anything here, so I guess this post is long overdue. Meet Keith and Desyré. I wanted this shoot to really reflect who Keith and Desyré were, so we decided to do this shoot on the UC Davis campus. I am very glad that we made that decision because we had the whole campus to ourselves, and I really feel like this allowed them to relax and enjoy eachothers company while my camera and I were just along for the ride. When we started out the day, I started to give them some instruction on posing, and I asked them to give eachother a kiss. “Ummmm…we don’t kiss.” I’m sorry, what was that? “We haven’t been kissing for the last year or so.” And when were you going to mention this to your photographer who has been planing this shoot out for some time? “Um…sorry.” (they say with smirks on their faces.) Well, this was actually a blessing in disguise. Not only do I think that this is what enabled me to really capture the future Mr. and Mrs. Keith MacMillan, but it is also one of the things that makes the love that they both profess for Jesus Christ so obvious. They are both graduating from Davis and are both going to serve in the missionary field through Campus Crusade on the Davis campus.

They posted several of these shots on facebook and I noticed that one of their friends had noted how much they felt like the pictures had “captured the personality of the real you”. As a photographer, I think that may have been the greatest compliment that I had ever received. Thank you Keith and Desyré for letting me be the one to document the begining of the rest of your lives.

Look for their wedding photos in the near future! But for now, enjoy this engagement set!

Well, I had the chance to photograph another beautiful wedding with Sarah Dawson Photography. What a fantastic day. A gathering of friends and family to celebrate a couple that was truly a match made in heaven. Enjoy.

Holiday Family portraits SPECIAL!!

The Holiday season is rapidly approaching, and I am going get a head start, to be sure that we have plenty of time to arrange and take your photo shoot. That way I can be sure I can edit all of your fantastic images and get your images to you when you need them.

I will running a $100 special for a family photo shoot. This will include a 1 hour photo session for a family of 4 (additional family members can be added for a cost of $10 per person), and 5 high resolution digital images (all color corrected and custom processed).

You receive the digital files! You can take those files and share the images of your family with your friends, family and have your Christmas cards printed at your favorite photo print store. If you’re doing the math, that’s only $20 per image. That’s less than the cost of an 8″x10″ print ($25.00)! You will also have the option to purchase more digital files, if there are more than five images that you can’t live without. Also, if you would like to receive better value for your dollar, consider upgrading to a larger package where more digital images are included.

All of your family’s portraits will be hosted on our image-hosting site and are available to be ordered as prints from a professional photo lab.

Don’t wait to book your photo session time. This special will end December 31st. Call now. Your family will never be this age again.

I will be traveling to Southern California for Thanksgiving. If you are interested in having a photo session done while I’m in the Los Angeles area, please call soon, so we will have time to schedule appointments. Time will be of essence, and a simple call now will mean there will be no last minute worries.

For more details or to ask any questions, call 916.606.4572.
