Hard to believe it’s partway through September! While we still have a few slots for senior sessions at The Camera’s Eye, we are already booking family portrait sessions in the great outdoors. Fall, Family, Portraits, The Camera's Eye

I LOVE working with clients to take advantage of all the natural autumn beauty upstate New York has to offer.

Abby – 2018 Owego Free Academy Senior

Posted on by

Meet Abby, a superstar rising senior from Owego Free Academy! As an honors student taking college courses, it’s hard to believe she has time for anything else…

…BUT, Abby is also a leader in the community, taking part in Global Leadership Now, YES LEADS, and the Interact Club, to name just a few…

#Seniorpics 2Oh, and did I mention she is also a top athlete? She’s lettered in track and cross country, but NOTHING compares to how much she loves softball!

It’s clear this girl is headed places – and the most exciting place she’s headed is Italy! Abby has the honor of representing the USA Athletes International team in the Italian Softball Series next summer in Florence. She is just one of just FOURTEEN young women from across the country selected to represent the US – pretty incredible stuff!

To do that, she needs to raise a bunch of money – please click here to help send Abby to Italy!

Besides all of these accomplishments – Abby is an absolute sweetheart with a positive attitude and a striking personality. I’m so glad I got to know her through her urban senior session with The Camera’s Eye – best of luck to her in her senior year, Italy, college, and beyond!

Clothes, Patterns, and Your Senior Session

Posted on by

Students are always concerned about what to wear to their senior session, and they ALWAYS ask.. “should I avoid patterns?”  As a general rule, yes, but…like all rules…I believe in breaking them for the good of photography  ; )

If you bring patterns, I’ll either simplify the background so the pattern is the standout or, I’ll play with the colors in the pattern.

Either way… you are more then welcome to bring patterns to your senior session with The Camera’s Eye!

The Camera's Eye, Senior Picture4Since the focus should be you, it’s best to choose calm patterns or small patterns that don’t distract from your face  🙂wp-1468533979361.jpeg

That way I can make sure you’re getting the attention you deserve during your senior photo session 🙂

As always, wear what you are comfortable with, and I’ll make sure the real YOU shines through 🙂

Colors to Wear to Your Senior Session!

Posted on by

So last time I blogged about what to wear for your senior session with The Camera’s Eye, we covered all kinds of colors – including avoiding white when possible. But hey, aren’t there exceptions to every rule?

When it comes to senior sessions with The Camera’s Eye, I like to think of ivory and white as Cinderella and the evil stepsister 🙂 Cinderella is ivory…you can pair other colors with it, complement it, place it just about anywhere in nature and it looks beautiful.  One of my favorite things to do is to “mute it down” and take a soft image.

And what about going bold with your senior session style? If it’s you, absolutely! I can place bold with any other bold colors outside to make you look great, and to calm down the colors and let you take center stage.

Since I’m an environmental portrait shooter, you’ll hear me talk a lot about how to coordinate with our great outdoors. So bring me what you have and we will make it work!

Violet and Co. – A Family Photo Session with The Camera’s Eye

Posted on by

I had such a blast with this family photo shoot with two-year-old Violet and her parents!

Family Portraits, The Camera's Eye 0
Violet, like most two-year-olds, had her own plan and her own energy – and I love that! I feel like we captured her spirit using lifestyle portraiture.

As with all of my sessions with The Camera’s Eye – it’s not about a perfectly posed picture! I love capturing your children, families, high school seniors, etc. exactly as they are every day!

Violet’s two-year-old photo shoot is an excellent reminder – it’s not like we have to stop taking photos of your kids once they turn one 😉 The Camera’s Eye can help you craft a session for kids of any age, (including tweens!)

The upstate New York summer is upon us, and I’m looking forward to tons more family sessions in the beautiful outdoors 🙂 Call or email to schedule your family photo session with The Camera’s Eye today!

Family Portrait Sessions with The Camera’s Eye!

Posted on by

I love, love, LOVE working with this family! You may remember Amy from her son Henry’s newborn session with The Camera’s Eye last year.  At 16 months, it’s hard to believe how grown up he is – along with the rest of the kids!

In Amy’s own words:

“Jack is the big brother everyone hopes for….. smart, kind, overprotective of his siblings, and turning into such a handsome boy.”

“Liv is my clone!  Anything I like she loves, but then every once in a while she amazes me with her own talents and interest.  She is a sewer and an outstanding swimmer.  In all actuality this 9-year-old beats me at my own game.  She is sooo creative, smart, athletic, respectful and, most importantly, kind.”

“Sam, our wild 6-year-old, will always be the life of the party.  His eyes and sweet grin show that charming personality.”

“Hank, our surprise, is 16 months old.  The biggest surprise to all of us in the family is how much love we all can have for one little bundle of joy.  The kids dote on him and John and I are amazed every day how his addition to our family was exactly what our family needed. ”

Congrats to Amy and John, who are celebrating 12 years of marriage this summer – I hope to do many more family shoots with them in the future!

Oh, and since I get a lot of questions about what to wear for a photo shoot: Amy chose the family outfits based around Olivia’s yellow skirt. The blues, grays and yellows you see elsewhere match the colors that appear in that skirt. Love the simple and classic matching style – just a little bit of color to pop the photo, but not enough to distract 🙂

 

Let’s make use of the gorgeous summer in Tioga County – contact us today to schedule your own family portrait session!
