The Saccaro's

I had the pleasure of photographing the Saccaro family a few weeks ago. What a great group of kids! I had a blast! So many great images to choose from....I thought that I would post a few here on the blog.

Lots of wrapping up here at the studio, and getting ready for our grand opening. We have set the date for October 1st., 2010 from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. We will have Wine, refreshments, and

hors d' oeuvres'. Plus, we will include some door prizes, special portrait package pre-purchase pricing for our great friends. I'm so excited to see our clients and share our new loft studio with them. I also look to meet new clients from the other side of the river. I love this sweet little main st. and look forward to being here for a long time.

I'm also just returning from the State convention in New Orleans La. I attended the yearly PPLA (Professional Photographers of Louisiana) state convention. I decided to take some images and enter them into the Print Competition. I was so excited to sit in the judging room and listen to the judges critique the entries. I had three prints score very high and were given the award of court honor - received my "corners" But, one in particular image really scored HIGH and the judges loved it! How could they not? It's a precious portrait of a newborn infant in the middle of his slumber on a chair. I have to say I knew when I took it that it was going to be special to not only me, but his parents. One of the judges Mark Gerber, from Ohio gave it the "JUDGES CHOICE" AWARD yippee :) Needless to say, I am going to be attending the Southwest Professional Photographer's Conference in Texas this next month, taking my prints and seeing what they do.....and go from there.....maybe "LOAN" with the Professional Photographer's of America. Who knows? But, I really have enjoyed doing the print competitions and trying to push myself a little more to create timeless and professional pieces of work.

Another thing that the print competition has done, has inspired me to study and take my CPP exam. I plan on becoming a Certified Professional Photographer. With this certified credential, I hope that my clients will have faith that I have continued to study and push myself to provide them with the best professional pieces.

Hope everyone is able to come out to the open house on the 1st of October, and Enjoy the pics of the Saccaro's
