Photo Pro Expo and Print Competition

I got got back from Photo Pro Expo and Regional Print Competition. It was a busy week of classes from some of the best photographers from all around the country. I must say I am rejuvenated and excited about all of the new ideas that we shared. It was a truly inspiring experience.

Pictured above are the prints that I entered in the competition. I'm proud to say that each of them earned a Gold Acceptance Corner and a Ribbon. They will also soon be featured on the KYPPA website along with other award winning prints from all around the region.

A big thank you to all of those who wished me luck! God bless you and I look forward to all that the new year brings.

Just wanted to let those of you who have kids that were in the May Valley Elementary Homecoming know that the pictures have arrived. I am still waiting on the group shots but they should arrive in just a few more days. Here is a quick preview of how nice they turned out. I should have them delivered to the school by Monday, January 25th (giving that we don't get more bad weather).

New Info!

Hello Everyone! Just wanted to let you know I updated the website with some new pictures in each gallery. Also I ordered some new stuff for the studio (backdrops, props, and such).

Soon we will be doing a new Fairy scene with new (more awesome) mushrooms and background. A hunting scene, and a beach scene (with real sand)!

Also, don't forget to go add our fan page on facebook. Also when you visit our blog click on become a follower so you can stay updated on all of our new information!

It's going to be a GREAT year!

Happy New Year!

Wow, I didn't realize it had been so long since I updated my blog. So much has happened.
First off let me say thank you for making 2009 a huge success! We have lots of exciting plans for 2010. We will be adding some new backgrounds and props and costumes. And we will also be adding a new member to the Artrip family...Yes! We are expecting our third child in June!

My plans for the business include lots of advertising, going the extra mile to make your experience at our studio a unique and enjoyable one, and providing you with the most exceptional quality possible!

This year we will be introducing a new "Grow with me" plan. We have been offering baby plans that take you through your baby's first year of life but we don't want to stop there. We want you to keep coming back! I also want to start a big "Generations" promotion. It is so important to have pictures made with all of your loved ones...including the Grandparents. Grandparents play such an important role in our children's lives. Why not have some lifestyle portraits that reflect the beautiful bond between you and your extended family?

Also, this year we are going to try to incorporate location sessions into our schedule. We will pick a day or two per month to go on location (a local park, or lake) to do outdoor sessions.

This is sure to be an exciting new year!
