We have had a lot of fun with our newest clients. The newborns are always so fun. It is always interesting to watch their siblings interact. There is nothing as sweet as capturing those tiny moments with the newest family members. As you can see Wyatt is enthralled with his little brother

Can you guess what is special about these pictures? Kurt went old school. These were taken on film with a view camera. Coming from West Michigan we know how much people love to do sunset portraits on the beach. This is one of the few areas where digital has not caught up to film. Digital blows out easily in this type of beautiful and dramatic lighting. These are our test shots for a new line Kurt is planning on introducing to bring back some of the magic of using technique to know you got the shot rather than checking the back of the camera.
It was quite an interesting experience watching him duck under the black drape of the view camera and waiting a couple of weeks to see what we got after the lab developed it.
It was quite a coincidence that only a couple of weeks after Kurt had the idea to do this he read an article about a service that will take your most important digital pictures and put them on film for storage. Negative film is an exceptionally stable medium for archival storage. It also avoids the worry that media readers will change enough that you wont be able to read your digital files. The more things change…….
Tune in for more information on our Retro project. We are hoping to have a concrete plan by next summer’s beach season.
Sha'marria came in from Jackson High. It is such a small world. Her mom walked in and said "Hey! I work with the lady in that picture ", pointing to a test print Kurt made from a recent wedding. That seems to happen all the time at the Studio.
Back to Sha'marria's session. Kurt even found a way to work her favorite color into the session (bright yellow)

It was great to get to work with Alyse. She is as serious about her sports as her famed brother was. I am excited to see more examples of Dreamscapes featuring girls in sports. Kurt did some nice greenscreen and fab stuff that showed the rest of her life too.
renewing my commitment to blog....and this time I mean it. lol
I can tell senior season is starting. It is always fun getting to know the next class. This week we have had everthing from musicans to Fashonistas.
I am going to do the sessions from the last few days in reverse order because Kurt is so excited about his new software that can color shift. Nicole wanted the famous funky red chair to match the purple wallpaper in the background. The wonderful people at NIK Software have done it again and we are impressed!! Oh- BTW- the rest of the session was great too. :)
I usually think of June as wedding time of year, but this is wedding week at Studio One evidently. Kurt is editing 2 weddings and we got a call from a daughter of one of our fravorite clients who is getting married next year. We are so excited to get to work with their family again.
This image is from Matt and Sara's wedding. Kurt picked out this one for a new sample. So you can look for it comming soon to either the studio or the mall. I can't wait to start laying out their album.
Congrats to Brooke Geisman, Becky Geisman and Hillary Purmell (some of our engaged group :)! )
Kurt chose painting over photography for his last master of photograph. I have been having so much fun seeing what he has produced. He is going to explore some joint ventures with some decorators in town to feature some of this fabulous art. I will try to have more up on Facebook tomorrow, but here is a preview.
