Hansom Hensley Pierce

Today we had a portrait session with 6 month old Hensley Pierce and his mom Jennifer. We had quite a fun day (Hensley certainly seemed to think so) :) Hensley was our first official baby portrait session and the results were very encouraging. We hope we captured his true happy personality for Jennifer to remember.
How great is it to get to play with a happy baby :)

Best Wishes to Mary & Michael

Today, I was lucky enough to be asked to shoot the wedding of Mary & Michael. It was held at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in north Merritt Island, which was a lovely chapel to have the ceremony in. Just as a little history on it, the building was built in 1886, making it the second oldest building in Merritt Island. After a lovely ceremony, we went over tot he parish hall for the reception. It was a tight knit family group and everyone had a great time.
We wish Mary and Michael all the best and hope they enjoy the memories we have preserved for them.

Congratulations Kate & Trevor

Today was a beautiful day to get married out at Space View Park in Titusville as Katie & Trevor could tell you :) Everything went beautifully, the weather, the ceremony, the happy couple. It all turned out great and we were happy to be a part of it all. After the ceremony we went to the Port St. John Community Center for the reception, and man did everyone have a good time. We even experienced our first ever wedding mosh pit. All around a fun and lovely wedding. We hope that Katie & Trevor enjoy the resulting shots as much as we do.

Our New Website!

We have been working very hard and now it is finally up for you to see!

Our website has not only changed its colors and look, but we have also established a completely new pricing structure for weddings. Soon to come will be new sections devoted just to portraits and events (we didn't have them finished yet, but wanted to get our website up anyway).

We will be offering many new types of photography from high school seniors to modeling to business and commercial. We are expanding our horizons to better fit your needs. Check back every so often to see what we have added to the mix!

Behind the Scenes at Kennedy Space Center

Being that Justin also works for USA, we got to go on a little field trip. USA held a kind of "let your family see where you work" day and we got to see areas of the space center that only employees get to see. We started off in the VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building) and toured around there.
We saw the pieces of the new Ares rocket (a lot of the parts are made, they just aren't assembled yet), as well as the ET tank (external fuel tank) with the SRBs (solid rocket boosters) attached hanging up in the air in one of the bays. It was very neat to see just the building alone, which is one of the largest buildings in the world. We also got to go into OPF1 (Orbiter Processing Facility 1) and walk underneath the shuttle Atlantis herself while she was suspended in the air to be worked on.
Lastly, we went to Pad B which used to be a launchpad they used for the shuttle program, but is currently being renovated to hold the new Ares rockets. It was all very surreal to see up close. It's one thing to live across the river from this major player in the history of our country and the world, but it's quite another to actually see it up close and personal. I'm very glad we got to go, and hope there is another day to go again.

Our New Baby!

Well we just got this one in the mail today. It's a Lensbaby 2.0! This may look like an odd contraption, but it really is handy for those dreamy shots that we love so much and it doubles quite nicely as a macro lens. The way this works: the lens clips onto any canon camera, then you just twist and bend and adjust it until you get the perfect combination of blur in your background and focusing on your subject :) We are very excited to use this on future jobs :) Just one more toy for us that will help make your photos more interesting.

Check out a little more info here.

Here are some of the first shots taken with our new lensbaby.

All Around Revamp!

Despite the cold weather, we are working hard at attacking our website with renewed vigor to keep things fresh and exciting for the new year.

Along with some spring cleaning style changes, we will also be adding some new services! Including negative scanning and photo restoration :) Now your loved ones will be able to keep your cherished photos forever and share between themselves with your film shots and prints put onto dvds! We have a very high resolution film scanner that is ready and waiting to carry your finger print on through the ages.
Prices for these services will vary, so don't hesitate to inquire!

Also, we are running a new promotion! Book any of our wedding package and receive a complimentary DVD Slideshow of either photos from your included engagement session or from your childhood and years together.This is a perfect way to pay homage to those who helped make you who you are today. Just pick your music, give us your prints and negatives and we will do the rest!

We have also changed "Engagement" sessions to "Couples" sessions. Now all you unengaged ones out there need not feel discriminated against any longer. We want to capture the love you have for one another, whether you are just starting out, about to be married or have been married for years. Let our photo sessions be a unique way to show others how you feel.

Hopefully our new look will be up an running in the next few weeks. We can't wait to see what you think!
