Easter Banquet at the Overland Park Sheraton

Hey everyone! Striking will be at the O.P. Sheraton this Sunday, shooting their gorgeous Easter banquet. I was told there will be many incredible ice works in an Easter theme - should be amazing - and I believe a special guest will be appearing after he's done distributing eggs in baskets throughout the world... ;)

I've attended several events at the Sheraton and I gotta say, they do an absolutely wonderful job. I'm looking forward to shooting this (yummy) event! If you haven't seen their property, check it out here.

And if you'd like to have Striking be there at YOUR own fabulous event and would like more info, don't forget to visit our website here.

Happy Easter, y'all!

The Barker Family

My favorite way to shoot family portraits is on location - parks, natural areas, urban settings, or for a very personal touch, your own home and yard. This beautiful family session not only showcases the love between family members, but also shows some of the different effects and collages available with Striking.



With the weather starting to warm up, and flowers starting to make their appearance, now would be a great time to book some fun family portraits! I myself just planted some bright and cheery yellow tulips in our front planters... Think Spring! ;)

Doing a Job Talk at My Son's Elementary School

In a couple hours, I'll be heading over to our local elementary school, where I've been asked to talk about being a photographer in front of 80 first graders! *gulp* This might be the toughest crowd I've ever faced! ;-) LOL

Wish me luck!

***UPDATE***

The kids were fantastic! Boy, they are so smart! They asked so many great questions and were good listeners. Here's a pic I snapped at the end - some future photogs among them, I am sure! :)

OOh, fresh studio samples arriving!

My new studio samples are arriving! We've been having some remodeling done around the place, and I ordered some new artwork for the walls... nothing like gigantic, 4 feet x 4 feet across boxes arriving at your doorstep!

The room is awash in packing bubble wrap and cardboard boxes. Already hung three, two more to go! I'll try to post some new pics of the place once I get them up.
