TIME FOR CHRISTMAS PORTRAITS!

Well, it is finally November, which means that we are holding our Christmas Special throughout the duration of the month. Remember, you receive 50% off of your studio session fee, or 10% off of your location session fee. We are also discounting our CUSTOM CHRISTMAS CARDS 25% through November! We know that the economy is tight right now, and what better gift to give than family portraits? We also carry many photo gifts, such as coasters, frames, key chains, mugs, lots of kitchen items, FatHeads, mousepads, clothing, blankets, crystals, and more. You must make your appointment during the month of November to receive the discounts, and by December 5th overall in order to receive any Christmas Cards by December 15th. Sessions are limited, so call today to make your appointment! Remember, we also offer gift certificates, and those can be great gifts as well!

NEWBORN PORTRAITS...

A few weeks ago we had a client come up from Texas to do newborn portraits of her twin girls, Kylie and Brooklynn. They were so sweet, it was hard to let them go home. We had a great experience in the studio though; they slept most of the time and did great under the lights and camera! Here are a couple of the final images from their session.

MORE SENIORS...

As October came to a close, I finally had a free moment to come and add a few more senior images. These kids have been great, all were a pleasure to work with, and we had so much fun!

This is Erin again, and just one of the images I completed with her and the hay bales... She was absolutely beautiful!



This gorgeous young man is Justin, another senior from Holdenville. He wanted something showing his love for riding 4-wheelers, and we got some awesome shots of him doing just that. Check out the collage with him jumping, it was so exciting to watch and photograph!






This is Daniel, and he wanted something simple that showed his love for football and the outdoors. He is very involved in 4-H, hunting, and riding his new motorcycle. He is also one of our ambassadors, and did a great job!




SUNNY ARIZONA, HERE WE COME!

We are excited to be taking a much needed vacation in January, 2009. It will not be all play, no work though, as we will be attending the annual Imaging USA Convention for professional photographers world-wide. This year the convention is in Phoenix, Arizona, so we will hopefully be enjoying some sun while it is cold and nasty here in good ol' Oklahoma. Our studio will be closed from Tuesday, January 6th, and we will be opening again on Friday, January 16th. While we are away, we will be attending numerous seminars and events, and meeting tons of new people, including the one and only Anne Geddes! I am sure everyone is familiar with her work in some way, and she is amazing! We only hope to learn fabulous things from her while we are in sunny, AZ! Wish us luck!

OCTOBER HAPPENINGS...

Well it is finally October, and this month is going to be filled with all kinds of deals for you and your family! Our special this month is "Fall Leaves", perfect for family portraits. Remember, if you book your session to meet the theme for the month you will receive 50% off your studio session fee or 10% off your on-location session fee, and 10% off your order! So this is a perfect time to get those Family Portraits in before Christmas, just in time to send out for Christmas cards. If you want a Christmas theme for your Christmas cards, don't worry, our November theme is "Christmas", and you will get your order back in plenty of time to send copies out to friends and family.

Also this month, October 4th we will be doing ACTION SHOTS and Individual Portraits with a Western Theme during the Stick Horse Rodeo, at the Fall Festival. We will be located by the backstop at Stroup Park in Holdenville. The contest for the rodeo is for ages 3-10, but dress your little one up, or even yourselves, and come get your portrait made, we will be shooting people of all ages!

Later in the month we also have the Sorghum Days festival in Wewoka, where we will also be roaming the streets, and we will have something going on there as well, although at this time we have not sorted out all the details, so we will update later.

On the 12th, we are taking a road trip down "Talamina Drive" in Eastern Oklahoma. It is a breathtaking site to see when the leaves are turning, and driving along tree-lined Highway 1 from just east of McAlester all the way to Mena, Arkansas. We plan on getting several shots to convert to backgrounds with our Scene Machine, to give us many more options with fall colors in the future. I will be sure to post images from the trip soon though, just so you see how amazing it is.

2008 SENIORS

Well, we know that we haven't updated in a long time, but we found a few extra minutes to finally do so. We have been very busy lately with football, cheer leading, engagements, and of course, SENIORS! Here are a few samples:
This is Ben, a senior at Holdenville. He is a part of our Senior Ambassador Program, and we used his talents on his many guitars in his Creative Session. We also did an Urban Session, and a few of those images will be posted soon.


This is Erin, a senior at Calvin. I have known her since she was born, and she was gorgeous in her Urban Session! She even allowed me to incorporate her mom into some of the shots. A nice touch I thought, since they are so close!

PHOTO ENHANCING / RESTORATION

Beauty pageants usually require a photo headshot of the contestant, and sometimes will expect them to be in a certain category. Digital Designs Photography can now enhance your headshot to give it a natural, or glamour and glitz look.

We also can restore old photographs, or edit any portrait to your liking. For example, you have a portrait you really like, but you hate the background in the photo. Let us know what you vision in your mind and we can turn it around for you!

Remember, we offer many different services. Please call if you have any question or concern. If you need something done we do not have listed, we can often do it, just ask! Keep checking back for more samples of our work... you will always find more on our website.

INTIMATE SESSIONS

What are Intimate Sessions?
Intimate Sessions are private photography sessions for women and men ages 18 and over, to create portraits for you to present to your significant other as a romantic or creative gesture. These sessions will not be pornographic in any way, so please do not assume this.

What do I wear to my session, and how do I do my hair and make-up?
Anything you feel comfortable being photographed in. It is completely up to you and your imagination. As for your hair and make-up, this is completely up to you and what type of portraits you are seeking. You provide your own clothing, stockings, heels, etc. Props are always welcome.

Can my partner be in the pictures with me?
Yes, couples may take these shots together, although there are a several rules for these types of sessions. Please contact us for a list of these rules. Failure to abide by these rules will result in you being asked to leave the session without refund of your deposit or session fee.

Are my portraits shown to anyone besides me?
These portraits are private and unique, and will not be shared with anyone other than who you choose to share them with. If you do not mind us using your portraits for our galleries, you will have an opportunity to fill out a release form at the time of your session.

Where will we take my pictures, and can I bring friends or children?
These can be taken in our studio, in your home, or at your location of choice. We understand how taking your portraits alone can be uncomfortable to some people, so we do allow you to bring one adult person to your session. Multiple people (unless it is your partner) and children are not allowed.

Do you only take appointments during Valentine's season?
No, we provide this service year-round, but in order to receive them by Valentine's Day, you must make your appointment on or before February 1st.

SCENE MACHINE NOW IN STUDIO

Recently we added a new system to our studio, a scene machine. Manufactured by Virtual Backgrounds, this allows us to give any type or design of background desired for your protaits. "Virtually" hundreds upon thousands of options are available, allowing your portraits to be unique, and no longer having portraits almost identical to others you know. To get some more info on what we do, please go to www.virtualbackgrounds.net and click on "The Technology" to see how it works. You can click on "Galleries" to see samples of shots taken with the Scene Machine. Also, if we do not have a background on file that fits your needs, we can design one! We can take any picture of anything from anywhere and make it your portrait background, and it looks just as if you were there! The system is completely portable, so it can be used for weddings and special events!
