Striking Photography is an official member of the Professional Photographers of America!





Professional Photographers of America (PPA) is the world’s largest nonprofit association for professional photographers, with more than 20,000 members in 54 countries.

Part of PPA's mission and vision statements is to "...define and maintain the industry’s standards of excellence", as well as "...to create a global perspective that promotes... creativity foremost and excellence always."

How cool is that?!?

Seriously though, PPA membership means a lot to me, and hopefully means a lot to you as a potential or returning client. It's an indication of commitment and expertise on my part that many other photographers simply have not made, for whatever reason.

If you are considering hiring me as your photographer for your wedding, family portrait, headshot, whatever... rest assured that Striking Photography is a professional studio that takes photography seriously, not simply as a hobby.

Now let's take some awesome photos!!!! :-)

Sneak Peek: Lynn's Senior Session!

Lynn is the sweetest senior! We had great fun switching from "serious" to playful poses. She's got a lot going for her what with being creative AND smart (she's debating between going into medicine or a more creative field). Now that's a hot combo! :-)




Congratulations Lynn, and to the entire class of 2009!

Sneak Peek! Modeling Headshots


This beautiful young woman is an aspiring print model and was a joy to shoot! She was fun and easy to talk to, and also very game to try lots of poses. She had a great intuitive understanding that a simple movement - of the eyes, the mouth or head - can totally change the emotion of a shot. I loved how she was completely fearless when she looked into the camera!

The COOLEST senior/wedding picture albums. Period!


I am soooo excited about the new offerings we've got for the upcoming summer season! If you are in the class of 2010, or getting married this summer, wait til you see these!

The albums I am just drooling over have covers made of exotic leathers! Or an image printed on canvas! Or even a cover made of brushed aluminum! See the thumbnails below to get a feel for some of the awesome color choices:






And there's more where that came from :-) Imagine opening a gorgeous album with a cover of exotic leather, and paging through all the memories within... It's such a fresh way to design an album. Really so cool IMO, and I've seen a lot of albums in my life LOL

We're offering 18 different choices of album covers now, so it truly is a customized experience. Other colors include brushed aluminum, brushed copper, spearmint and emerald, pewter, ice, rain... You can display your beautiful photos in a way that suits your unique style and tastes.

LOVE that!
