Kristen Class of 2010 http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2009/11/kristen-class-of-2010/ http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2009/11/kristen-class-of-2010/#comments Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:52:03 +0000 Sarah http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/?p=418 By doing senior photography, you don’t get a lot of repeat clients, but you do get siblings.  This is the case for Kristen.  I had photographed her sister Maddie a couple of years ago and Kristen was keen on having me do hers as well.  Both girls were extremely photogenic and possessed an uncommon comfort level in front of the camera.  I had so much fun with Kristen, and the results were spectacular!

Rebekah – Class of 2010 http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2009/11/rebekah-class-of-2010/ http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2009/11/rebekah-class-of-2010/#comments Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:42:04 +0000 Sarah http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/?p=454 After years of assisting me with photo shoots, it was time to shoot my sister Rebekah’s photos.  Lucky for me,  Rebekah loves to be in front of the camera, and for good reason – she looks good there.  Like most of my shoots I do a few head shots for Mom and several fun artistic shots for the senior and everything in between.

A Glimpse at Summer http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2009/09/a-glimpse-at-summer/ http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2009/09/a-glimpse-at-summer/#comments Mon, 07 Sep 2009 00:44:14 +0000 Sarah http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/?p=382 A busy summer has prevented me from addressing this blog.  To me, doing actual work is more important than displaying it, but nevertheless, as a Marketing professional, I know it’s importance.

Here’s some images I pulled from three of my favorite shoots this summer.

This photo shoot took advantage of my iStock photography discount.  This means that you can purchases these images online here.  Please be mindful that while these images are royalty free, they are not restriction free, so read the fine print.

I tried a few new locations for this shoot, as many photographers have begun to discover my other locations.  These are little more edgy than my typical Senior Shots, but still in line with current trends.

That session can be contrasted with these images which are more experimental.  I would not include images like the following in a session, unless explicitly asked.

img_4188_1img_4214_1img_4237_1img_4215_1img_4225_1

Finally, here was a fun child photo shoot.  I love it when parents ask me to take photos of their children that allow to bring out their personalities.  Here’s the result:

Two More from May http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2009/06/two-more-from-may/ http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2009/06/two-more-from-may/#comments Mon, 15 Jun 2009 19:04:04 +0000 Sarah http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/?p=376 Before I started photographing 2010 Seniors, I figured I should finish up 2009.  Here’s two more from May.  I didn’t have time to watermark the one, so here’s the video:

And, the other chose to take advantage of the iStock discount.  So here are some of the iStock files from that shoot:

More from the Month of May http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2009/06/more-from-the-month-of-may/ http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2009/06/more-from-the-month-of-may/#comments Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:50:22 +0000 Sarah http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/?p=359 There are two more of these posts to follow.  I’ve been busy taking photos and editing so I haven’t had much time updating the blog.

This particular photoshoot was a senior photo session and an engagement photo session all in one.  I had a ton of fun!  Chris and Ronae were great and I wish them all the happiness in the future!

Corporate Head Shots: An Executive, a Plane, and a Funeral Home http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2009/04/corporate-head-shots-an-executive-a-plane-and-a-funeral-home/ http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2009/04/corporate-head-shots-an-executive-a-plane-and-a-funeral-home/#comments Thu, 09 Apr 2009 14:19:19 +0000 Sarah http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/?p=287 I received a call recently for a last minute photo session to produce some executive head shots for Eagle’s Wings Air.  The company was gearing up for some new marketing initiatives and wanted something more iconic of their brand than the typical studio head shot. And, they needed quick turn around.

The challenge came from Eagle’s Wings Air’s unique business model.  They provide travel service for funeral service.  They work with funeral directors to transport the deceased from places like Florida to their hometown for burial.  They provide a unique niche in the market, as they are the only company anywhere that specializes in this service.

The chosen location for the shoot was D.O. McCombs due to the companies’ close affiliation.  Frank, the owner in need of the head shots, wanted to highlight their involvement with the airline industries.  Thus, we had an executive, a plane, and a funeral home.

Since, most of the advertising would be aimed at funeral directors and placed in industry publications, Eagle’s Wings Air wanted to highlight the plane, as that’s what sets them apart.  The challenge was providing the model plane as much prominence as the executive himself.

Here are a few images from the shoot:

Websites and Weddings – Part 2 http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2009/03/websites-and-weddings-part-2/ http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2009/03/websites-and-weddings-part-2/#comments Thu, 05 Mar 2009 20:56:50 +0000 Sarah http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/?p=253 In addition to being a new bride, Suzie is a freelance editor.  With her transition to Fort Wayne, Suzie began working on a new website and wanted to get a head shot to post on her site.  Incidentally, church directory photos were due that weekend as well.  So, we threw in a few “couple shots.”  Why not?!

The weather was still rather cold so we went to a local coffee shop and to the downtown library.  To be honest, I often feel limited when doing indoor shoots, but both locations offered a lot of interesting backgrounds and flare.

Here are a few that I picked out from that shoot…

Why You Should Get Your Senior Pictures Taken in the Summer or Fall http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2008/09/why-you-should-get-your-senior-pictures-taken-in-the-fall/ http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/2008/09/why-you-should-get-your-senior-pictures-taken-in-the-fall/#comments Thu, 25 Sep 2008 15:01:17 +0000 Sarah http://photoblog.sarahmusselman.com/?p=196 Getting your Senior Pictures done the summer before your senior year or right after the school year starts sounds really early for a lot of seniors.  I know.  I felt the same way my senior year.

The thing is, If you don’t get them done in the summer or fall, by the time winter rolls around, you’ve limited your options to indoor portraits.  This is not necessarily a bad thing, but if you want the freedom of outdoor shots, you do need to think about the weather.  By the time weather warms up again in the Spring, you’ve limited the time you have to make use out of your photos.  In April and May, you’ll be preparing for graduation and everything that entails.  This is not to say that you can’t hand your pictures out around this time, but after your friends have been handing them out all year, you’ll feel a little behind the curve.

So, take it from someone who photographs seniors year round.  Get them done now.  You won’t regret it.
