New Product Announcement – Keepsake Image Box

jamyeper — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:23:51 +0000

After each portrait session our clients are invited back to the studio for a viewing session where we sit down in front of a large screen and decide on their favorite images and which ones they want to purchase to hang on the walls of their home. Often after choosing one or several that will be enlarged for a wall portrait our clients express a desire to have ALL of them. Our solution for this has been to offer a photo book or album but now we can offer another option that has already proven to be popular with the few people who have seen them.

We are excited to announce a brand new product to our line of portrait products. This adorable keepsake image box is perfect for boudoir, family, newborn, child and high school senior portrait sessions. We can create them to hold anywhere from 20 to 200 5×7 art prints. The custom designed cover features your favorite image and inside the cover there is a hub to hold a disc with your image files or slideshow . Its perfect to display on your coffee table or book shelf and have your entire session right at your finger tips!

Case Study- The Lilly Family – Creating a Connection

jamyeper — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 17:57:14 +0000

When I photograph a wedding, capture portraits for a growing family or document a milestone such as high school senior portraits my ultimate goals is not only to create great photographs for my clients but to make a connection with them. I do my best to take that connection and transform it into trust. For me gaining that trust is an integral part of establishing a rapport that is going to help me create those great photos everyone wants.

I can talk all day long about lighting, color calibration, f-stops, iso and post production techniques but any good photographer will have a strong grasp of the technical stuff and an artful eye to make it all come together. So what’s left…the connection between photographer and subject. I want to know your motivation behind wanting to do the session if the first place. If you have ideas for your photo shoot I want to hear them. I want to lend advice when you need it. I want to take my time photographing you and even more time putting together your final images and creating custom products that show them off. I want you to trust that I will do all of this to the very best of my ability and create something that is uniquely you.

Case in point – The Lilly family:

I first photographed them while they were pregnant with their first child Cade. Tiffany knew that I photographed weddings but did not know much about my portrait work. She took a leap of faith and commissioned me to photograph a maternity session for her. I suggested that Tim, her husband, take part in the session. I did that first session in their home. We spent a couple of hours shooting their maternity session and the images were spectacular. As we worked together I could feel them relaxing and getting into the process. By the end of the session they were comfortable enough with me to suggest doing some beautifully intimate shots in their bedroom, bare chested (covering up the naughty parts of course and no you will not see them here on this blog These are images I am sure they do not share with just anyone but cherish none the less and will look back on as the years go by with even more fondness.

From that beginning I have since shot two family portrait sessions and a newborn session for the beautifully photogenic Skyla. These subsequent sessions have been done in the studio and again in their home. Each time I photograph them I feel more of a connection which of course has a positive impact of the end result. Tiffany and Tim thank you for trusting me to capture your growing family. I look forward to more sessions down the road and seeing what wonderful image we can create together.

Testimonial from Tiffany Lilly:
Jamye has done many family sessions for us and we have been more than extremely pleased with how the pictures come out. She is very patient and professional with our young kiddos and has a knack for catching fleeting moments on camera. Jamye has really outdone herself with our latest session and highly recommend her for any occasion that you would like for her to capture.

Tatum’s 1 Year Birthday Photo Shoot

jamyeper — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:51:05 +0000

Introducing Tatum! This was her first visit to our photography studio to celebrate her 1 year birthday. She was such a pleasure to work with, from her big blue eyes and curly red hair down to her cute little smile. Her older brother put on a goofy hat,made funny noises and danced around to get her to laugh. He worked wonders. She is definitely a camera hound and LOVES to have her portrait taken. We cannot wait to see her again.

Carly & Allen’s Studio Maternity Session

jamyeper — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 19:26:46 +0000

We first met Carly & Allen when we photographed their East Texas Wedding at Elmwood Gardens last year in Palenstine, Texas. They were one of the sweetest couples we had the pleasure of working with last year so we were super excited to hear they are about to have a new addition to their family and wanted to do maternity portraits. We eagerly await the arrival of Samuel and look forward to doing his newborn portraits very soon.

Check out some of our favorite images from Carly and Allen’s Studio Maternity Portrait Session.

Fall Portraits with Trey and Drew Neighbors

jamyeper — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:58:00 +0000

This is the second year I have had the pleasure of working with Robin Neighbors on some family fall/holiday portraits. This year she decided she wanted to do portraits of just the kids in an outdoor setting. After many days of rain I was happy on the day of our shoot to find we had a beautiful sunny day. Trey and Drew and Mom, Robin, arrived at the studio in the afternoon. One of the first statements out of Robin’s mouth was that Trey had said the night before that he was so excited to be doing pictures with Jamye again. Well, of course, for a young boy to say he was looking forward to doing portraits made me feel like I must be doing something right!After a little prep we followed the path behind the studio to a fallen tree that I use quite often for outdoors portraits. I also decide I would take them to another area close by the studio for another series of shots that turned out to be my favorites. Here are a few of them.

Could they be any cuter?

I recently had the pleasure of having Tim, Tiffany and Cade in my studio for their first official family portrait. What a cute family!! Cade made his arrival into this world earlier this year. Shortly before his birth I did a maternity photo session for Tiffany and Tim in their home. I should have known from the wonderful images we got from that session that their first family portraits would be just as adorable. Could this family get any cuter?

Victoria Turns One!

jamyeper — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 20:57:00 +0000

Rainy and her one year old daughter Victoria arrived at the photography studio in the early afternoon and we set right to work deciding on clothing and backdrops. I had told Rainy to bring a variety of clothing and a few props that she might like to use during the portrait session to showcase Victoria’s first birthday.I have been photographing adults and young adults for many years but photographing small children alone on a regular basis is something that is fairly new to me.

In the last year I have learned that no matter what I might have in mind that the person really determining the flow of the shoot is the child. Yes, I have learned a few tricks to get the shot and I am still learning more but I have also learned nothing is better than good old fashioned patience. For this reason I schedule plenty of time for sessions with little ones.Sometimes we may get a variety of good shots very quickly and others times we need may to be patient and wait.

Sometimes we have a child who can handle a variety of clothing changes and stays good natured through the session. In any situation I want to make sure we have enough time and don’t feel rushed.

Victoria was just one of those children that stayed in a fairly good mood despite the fact that we changed her clothes and the set several times.

One of the props that Rainy brought was a really cool hat box. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to use in along with one of the new damask backdrops I purchased last week. I love the look we got with this shot. I am betting Rainy will too.

Rainy, it was a pleasure to meet you and Victoria yesterday ! I am now looking forward to photographing your entire family!
