Photo of the Week…Again!

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Well, I don’t like to gloat, but heck, I will :)

The previous gallery wrap montage which we featured here on the site has won “photo of the week” honors from Pieces of the Picture.

If you’re curious about family photography, Pieces of the Picture goes beyond the typical photography tips type of site since it’s about more than just a “how to”…it goes into a lot of the thought process and challenges to capturing a family’s moments. Have a look at their site as well as their Flickr group if you have a chance.

As we’ve been getting more into family portraiture, we’ve been trying a lot of different things so that our work is fresh and can provide lasting memories for our clients. So that might mean portraits in front of a backdrop or outdoor portraits. The way it’s presented, I think, makes a huge difference also. So the online versions of the montages we’ve shown might look great online, but I love seeing people’s reactions when they see these huge wraps in person.

Here’s the winning photo montage again in case you didn’t see the previous blog post:

More Gallery Wrap & Montage Goodness

We’ve been getting such a great response on the Gallery Wraps using photo montages, I figured I’d share a personal example of my daughter Sophia. These gallery wraps have a lustrous metallic finish to them and hang without any need for a frame. It’s great any where you want something a bit more modern, but as you can see with the background, we can mix it up for a wide variety of look.

This was a Valentine’s Day gift to my wife and now hangs in our family room next to the couch. Safe it say it brings a smile to our faces every time we look at it!

If you’re interested in a portrait session for you or your children, or you just want to create a unique enlargement like the example here, drop us a line.

What’s It’s All About

We usually keep this blog pretty photography centric, but the energy bubbling in America right now deserves a bigger look. This isn’t about photography or getting married or anything as small as us. It’s so much bigger than any individual, but it’s made up of ALL of us together. Today is Martin Luther King Day. Tomorrow is Inauguration Day. Enjoy the days. Enjoy the moments.

Spare 15 minutes of your time and watch what today is about:

Then spare as much time as you can on Tuesday and watch was America is about:

Best wishes on these momentous days. Look for more from us shortly.

Some of you may know Samay Studio founder (and former partner) Sandhya. Well, the big news is that she just delivered her first baby on Monday morning! Welcome Rekha! Both Mom and baby are doing great. And, of course, there are LOTS of photos of the little one, but we’ll leave those off this site :) Congratulations!
