Tutus and Leg Warmers.........

I mentioned the tutu's earlier, I finally had a chance to get a photo of the other tutu which is as equally as cute!

 

My little niece is going to do her 3 month photos in the rainbow colors!  It's going to be soooo cute!

Here are some other tutu photos from a couple of ADORABLE little girls, 

Some fall tutu photos would be absolutely adorable! 

I found it and that too!!

So by accident, we were going out to dinner and I was looking at this landing and I thought, that would make such a cool place for photos.  I didn't have my camera, but I took a few shots with my phone to share with everyone.

Now the cool thing about this location, it could be for a couple of shots or for a whole shoot.  It has that much potential! This would be a great senior location and you could do a one location shoot. 

This weekend was relvoling around me making it to Norton Shores for the craft show where Two Tutu Ladies were going to be selling their adorable tutus!  Well I promised to go rain or shine, and it was raining of course.  Not just a little rain either it was pouring rain!  We ducked into a tent that was selling food items and when it slowed down, off we went to find them or her I should say.  Nonetheless I found the tent containing the tutus!  I got two, one baby size and one toddler size and I already had one that's a little bit bigger than toddler size.  So now I need to schedule some tutu shoots!  I plan to add more to the collection, but for now I have to spread the word about tutus!!

This is the baby tutu, and I have matching leg warmers!  Can't wait to put a baby in it!!!
More soon!!

Results of Photograpers Choice

Last month I came up with a new offer for my wonderful clients called "Photographers Choice".  This deal consists of us meeting at an agreed on location, at which point we will hop in my car and drive around to these pretty cool locations I've found around Hillsdale.  This deal will result in AT LEAST 4 locations--I have many more than 4 in mind--With this package the proof book is also included as well as an on-line gallery.

So on July 24th I had my first victim!  It was so much fun!  I really can't wait to do it again!  Here are some of he photos from our adventure:

So why?  Because I keep finding all the awesome things that would make good spots for photos, but it's not a spot for a whole photo shoot.  It may be just a door or an old bridge.  The good news is it's all in Hillsdale and I will do the driving.  This is a great deal for Seniors who usually like to have more than one location, but anyone is welcome to do it!  

Truthfully I CAN NOT wait to do it again, it was so much fun!  And we got some pretty awesome photos as a result!  You are welcome to go on over to my facebook page and check out more of the photos from Brandon's shoot:  http://www.facebook.com/

Photographers Choice

You may have noticed that I have been talking about "Photographers Choice". This year my lawn co. started working for the city of Hillsdale and this has given me the opportunity to see some places and things I would have never seen or paid attention too before. Then I got thinking how cool would it be if that was used for a senior shoot. Then I thought how would I tell them about them about this place? The solution = photographers choice. Here is how it would work.

1. The cost will be $150.00 and there will be multiple locations (at least 4 but probably more).
2. We will meet at a designated location, then you will hop in my car and off we will go.
3. A proof book will be included in this package.

There are quite a few locations I have found that I think most people will find interesting:

These are just a couple of the places that I think are really cool.  This adventure could result in a lot of locations.  If there is a special place in Hillsdale you wanted to add I am open to suggestions!

How time flies.....

It seems as if yesterday I brought my son home from the hospital. He is 11 now going on 18.  A couple weeks ago I updated his photos, the older he gets the harder it is to do his photos. .  They want to be grown up so bad, but us grown ups would love to be young again.  Not a worry in the world!
This is my favorite one:


I really love this one too and I am very anxious to get it printed:

If you would like to see more photos from Jadens shoot go over to my zenfolio: http://amyhowesphotography.zenfolio.com/

The same time I did these photos I was also joined by my friend Sarah, who is learning how to work her brand new digital slr. I must say it is SO much fun to go out shooting with other photogs. These people understand the fascination and love. They understand why I go out and try to find things to photograph and get the knees of my jeans dirty to get down low. Why I stop in the middle of a sentence because something caught my eye and I must take a photo of it. Surly I don't mean to be rude and another person with a camera totally understands that! I hope to get together again soon, maybe plan it and invite other to join us!


What I think would be fun is to go to a few of the abandoned houses around and see the different view points! Plus I know how much one girl wanted to go to an abandoned house!  Let's pick a date photogs!!!


If you follow my facebook you probably know how obsessive I've been with this photo:

I LOVE this photo!! I just received my 16X20 and it is hanging on my wall for everyone to admire. I would hand out wallets of this photo if I could. If you like this sort of thing it can be purchased over at zenfolio. Here are a couple other shots that I got when we were in Chattanooga TN which is where we stopped before the Georgia wedding so we could take Jaden to Ruby Falls before he gets to old to care--which isn't too far away--



I won't lie, there are quite a few more photos from that trip that are waiting patiently on my hard drive for me to bring them to life! If you have never been to Ruby Falls or Rock City, it is a must visit! It is so much fun and even as an adult it's still a great time!

One last thing before I go. Down in Georgia where my husband grew up, he took us to Indian Falls:


He told us how during the summer in Georgia he would go down there and people would be spread out all over the rocks basking in the sun.  While we were there it was still a bit chilly and the water was cold, but that didn't stop Jaden, my little fish (well big now) 


 That's all for now!

It's been decided...

For quite some time now I have been dabbling at the thought of changing the name of my business.  To what I had no idea, but not Amy Howe's Photography.  I had heard that you have better success not naming your company your name.  At this point though it's kind of late because those of you who have used my services or follow my work recognize me as Amy Howe's Photography.  Finally, after quite some time, I have decided on my logo: 

It probably won't always be the color but this is what I like right now and if you know me well enough you know that I am most likely bound to change it, the color not the logo! I really like this. It came to me in my new business card:

When I ordered these I thought I want to try something new, I usually get glossy because I like shiny stuff, but I thought; this time I would try the pearl stock. Excuse my language, but these new cards are "bad ass"! If you haven't got one you need to catch up with me and schedule a photo shoot. You know what I am going to do to see how many people are paying attention:

Go ahead and print that bad boy and call me up for your 10.00 photo shoot(just click it--it's a link). It must be printed for me to accept it,  but I want to share with those of you that haven't been able to make it out to the locations I have been set up at.   So tell your friends and family what I have going on!
This is crazy and there must be a catch!  No-I am not a telemarketer, I am just trying to gain new customers and cut people a break during these hard times, believe me, I understand. 

On that note, I finally gave in and joined Zenfolio.  If you would like to visit click here .  What is that?  It's where I can upload photos, and you (the customer) can purchase them at your own will and on your own time and as you wish.  There are a couple packages on there, people want packages but no one ever says what they would like in them so if you would like a package tell me what your photo sizes are and I will put it together.

You may have heard that back in April I went down south to do the photos for my little (much taller than me) brother (in law)  What a beautiful wedding.  It was so nice down south.  If you would like to see those photos click HERE!!  Here are a couple of my favorite shots:


Didn't I make them look they should be on a cover!!! I know I shouldn't have favorites, but I do, and these were not the only two, there was a whole bunch that were my favorites! Go over to Zenfolio and take a look for yourself!
That's all for tonight.
