Charelston, SC Recap | NAPCP Retreat

Tuesday, May 21, 2013

Before it totally gets away from me I wanted to share some images from my trip to Charleston, South Carolina last month for the National Association of Child Photographers Retreat.  You can also see the NAPCP newsletter with more pictures and details at this link.  I was honored to have some of my own images featured in that publication and blog. Warning: lots of pictures below.  I can give you a better visual of my week with some outtakes of my photographer friends as we were out and about town taking new headshots for each other.  We also had the opportunity to work on stylized High School Senior shoots that were a lot of fun and a little exhausting.  Think speed dating for Senior Sessions and you get the idea!

I communicate better in photos and that is why Instagram is my favorite social media. Below are some of my Instagram photos capturing my week in Charleston.  Follow me at @lisaphillipsonphoto to keep up with the latest in my business.

NAPCP International Competition

Saturday, May 18, 2013

I was thrilled to have placed in the National Association of Child Photographers (NAPCP) 2013 International Image Competition with the two below images.  It was a great surprise to see the first Senior Image as a large print at the recent educational retreat I attended in Charleston, South Carolina.

By the way, Congratulations to Matt, the most timeless baseball player to ever hit Campbell High School.  Graduation is less than a week away!  I’ll be posting more images from my Charleston trip in a few days.  Until then, here is the NAPCP press release that was issued:

Studio Senior Boy | Session Share

Friday, May 10, 2013

This has been the coldest Spring!  Not what I have envisioned for some of my outdoor sessions!  This afternoon was so chilly and very windy.  Only a guy could be such a trooper and not let it bother him.  So, we pressed on and managed to have a great time despite the dreary weather.  These were all taken at my Studio in Marietta which allowed us to easily run inside to recover from the weather when needed.  I so love the classic, timeless look of black and white pictures.

However, my clients end up ordering color even if they thought they would get B&W.  I think they are just so much more vibrant and clear than what people print at their own labs that they can’t resist.  And, they look great framed on the wall.

Without color, how else would you know what color Ryan’s shoes were?!

:-)

What to Wear Wednesday | Class of 2014

Wednesday, May 8, 2013

Need wardrobe inspiration for an upcoming spring photo session?  Try bright and colorful pieces, complemented by rich mocha and/or denim.  These are some examples of jeans that are a little dressier so family portraits are pulled together and comfortable without being slouchy.  It is the perfect time of year for the ladies to show off their super cute sandals and wedges!  The weather is just going to get warmer from here (fingers crossed).

I am booked for May and have a couple of spots left in June for family sessions.  Now is the perfect time for class of 2014 Seniors to book their Senior Portrait Sessions. You can find more information about the details of one of my Senior Sessions here.  I always reserve extra time in June and July for my Seniors – we have such a good time!

King Springs Elementary | Our Town Magazine

Wednesday, May 1, 2013

I am the feature photographer for the May edition of Our Town Magazine.  It is always fun to see what new people I get to meet through this opportunity and this time I met some great students at King Springs Elementary School in Smyrna.  I also learned more about their Junior Master Gardeners and what they have been doing this past year.   Everyone was excited that they have been invited to be a part of the Smyrna Garden Tour this year on May 18th. They have a wonderful outdoor classroom outside their media room and are learning so much.  It has taken a lot of extra effort from volunteer parents and staff to make this club possible and just one of the many great things about King Spring Elementary.

If you would like to go on Smyrna’s garden tour this year, you can contact the City of Smyrna to buy tickets in advance or buy them the day of the event on May 18th at Taylor Brawner House on Atlanta Road.

Don’t forget to look for a copy of Our Town Magazine starting today to read more about these awesome kids!
