Sneak Peek: Boudoir Session!

This gorgeous woman wanted a special and personal wedding anniversary present. Her and her hubby are celebrating one year of wedded bliss together - congratulations! I think he is going to be very happy with these beautiful photos... ;-) She works at a profession where you don't get to dress up much, so this photo shoot was a chance to doll it up and work what she got! And boy, she has got IT - see for yourself!!

The outfits were SO cool, playful and sassy just like the model. The shoot was fun, we were both laughing and she was great at flirting with the camera! I really had a great time photographing her.

Fantastic Affordable Mother's Day Gifts

This year, give her what's really in her heart - a beautiful portrait of the ones she loves. Whether it's a cool black and white of yourself, or a group portrait of you and the kids, she will adore a framed, matted photograph of the people she loves best!

And guys, getting a portrait done at Striking Photography is soooo easy. Let me break it down for you:

1. Call me to schedule your session at (913) 602-8061. You can come to the studio, or to make it even easier, I can come to you!

2. Smile! We take the photographs.

3. Pick your favorites. Preview your photos online, from the comfort of your own computer. I'll take it from there and include the framing, matting, and even the gift-wrapping for you!

4. Bask in the adoration from your wife as you score the best Mother's Day gift ever.

Look guys, who better to know what a wife and mother would want for Mother's Day than a wife and mother herself? Hmmm... that would be ME :-) Ten years of wedded happiness and three kiddos under my belt. I consider myself an expert in this matter!

So book it now at (913) 602-8061. Don't get caught with some lame-o thing you picked up at the Qwik-E-Mart on the way home from work. Trust me, she'll know.

(And by the way... you can get extra mileage out of this one by choosing some prints for your own mother, or your mother-in-law! SCORE!)

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!
