May 24 - 30, 2007

May 24 - 30, 2007 - I will be out of the office. All phone calls and e-mails will be returned upon my return. Hopefully, I'll have LOTS of new and exciting images to share. Until next week. . . .

Nature Art Shots and a Casting Call. . . sort of

Recently, I was asked if I would take flower/nature shots to go on the walls of a local law office. I don't want to show the traditional, boring, macro, flower in the center of the frame shot you see all the time. I want my shots to be interesting enough to make people stop and think, "hmmmm...that's cool!" :-P

So, yesterday, literally minutes before the thunderstorm arrived, I took pictures of the remaining flowers left on my deck. (In Texas, we get one, maybe two, months of Spring. Once May hits the flowers start to wilt and die. :-( ) The lighting was PERFECT and I was so pleased with the exposure that all I did in photoshop was adjust the contrast a bit and voila!

I was also asked to provide images of groups of children and families of all different ethnicities playing, goofing off, etc. I have several families in my gallery that will probably be included in the portfolio but I need more! So, in the next week or so I will be posting a casting call of sorts. If you have any friends or family that would like AWESOME pictures of themselves let them know that I have a great opportunity for them! (free session!)

Introducing. . .

janelle lynn photography's new business manager!

ain't he handsome. ;-)

My hubby, Todd, has been promoted to Business Manager! Previously, he had been regulated to "assistant" - schelping bags, holding the light stand, uploading CF cards, etc. :-P He'll still be working in those capacities but will also take on all the administrative stuff I'm starting to get bogged down in. In terms of client relations, administrative stuff includes: collecting contracts, payments, placing/mailing album and print orders, album design and communicating with clients regarding their orders.

His e-mail address is:

todd@janellelynnphotography.com

So, if you receive an e-mail from him, know you're talking to my "better-half." :-P

Image Info: The setting is our front driveway, using the car headlights and off camera flash for lighting. Very modern and edgy. . . :-)

More from the Kiss My Putt shoot

Here are a few more from the shoot last Sunday:

Of course, I couldn't let the owner of Kiss My Putt leave without portraits of herself!

Kiss My Putt Commercial Shoot

Yesterday, I had my first commercial shoot for Kiss My Putt. Kiss My Putt is a new business in the world of golf that offers hip, modern and fun golf products all geared toward hip, modern and fun women. :-) This is perfect for women like me and my clients. I consider myself (and my clients) modern, hip women who wouldn't be caught dead in the BORING golf outfits, clubs and accessories you find in the sporting goods store. Angelica N. (owner) has a great eye for fashion and I can't wait to see what they have in store for their next round of products!

Check out the store at www.kissmyputt.com and add the website to your bookmarks as I think a clothing line is coming next!
