Boise Business Portraits will improve your image!

Hi guys,

A snap shot is not a professional head shot! Do this the right way and it will bring you business, screw this up and you can acually lose business as you might not come across as a professional.

Just wanted to chat for a minute about my business portrait division Boise Business Portraits.

I have been helping many new clients lately to get a garanteed great portrait for business purposes. Generally we start by determining what the end use is for the portrait, then we chat about the design, colors ,backgrounds and wardrobe that will convey the message my client is wishing to send. Our session can be in our fabulous portrait studio on Fairview Ave that is designed to be like a comforable home or on location at my clients place of business or a favorite place.

We offer a mini session in the studio for those on a budget and can get you in and out in less than 30 minutes or our extended session for clients wishing to have more image options. After we do the session, I will go throught and select the best images and do a basic retouch to make my client look fabulous and call them to schedule at time to view these images. When we get together we will then select the best of the best and decide what if any addition retouching should be done to make your head shot a killer headshot.

Over the past couple months I have created well over 150 business portraits for people just like you that had been using substandard headshots that were outdated, unflattering and in some cases downright unprofessional. If you do one thing this year get a decent business portrait, invest in yourself its not expensive and its tax deductable! Remember also our garantee if you dont love your portrait you don't pay a thing when you select Lightdances Photography you will never pay for a portrait you dont love.. Call me just to chat about improving your image our studio number is 208-371-7701. See you soon!

Great Expectations

When I get calls for pregnancy portraits I am always pleased to have been chosen over a female photographer as I know most women are more comfortable infront of another woman. This shows the trust and faith my clients have in me, and I dont take that lightly. Not that gender should be an issue but I understand this mindset of "not wanting a guy" so when I am selected I am truly honered to be choosen.

Congradulations to Mark& Brooke on the blessing of their second child. Brooke is truley beautiful person inside and out, and her husband Mark and son Jack are just downright handsome guys, I,m talking male model material.

We had a great time documenting this special time in their lives and I just had to share this one with you. Was I right about this little guy? :o)

Photography Class is in back in session!

I have had many, many calls lately asking when I would be teaching photography classes again as I have put the classes on the back burner so to speak. While I love teaching and sharing my love of photography with others I have just had to many commitments to my clients to hold a class. Great news though, I am making some time this next month and will be holding my famous"The right stuff training" here at the studio. If you or anyone you know wants to learn the secrets to getting great images the easy way call me and we can save a seat for you! Call me 208-371-7701.

By the way see if you can guess who this former student is photographing this beautiful model?

Anyone, Farris? anybody?

Congratulations Erica!

Erica's great family has been in front of my lens several times over the years, doing family portraits, her brother Brants high school Senior portraits and so on, so when she dropped by the studio with her mom Pam telling me about the Miss Idaho Teen pagent and would I consider helping out of course I was "in". We did a fun session which resulted in Erica winning the "most Photogenic title" I know she would nail this and she did. Erica is a nice young lady and I always enjoy her positive attitude as well as her great smile.
My involvment was easy I just pointed the camera, Erica provided the charm and the beauty.

Event photography

I received a call the other day from the great folks at SEI events asking if we were interested in providing the event photography coverage of the T-Mobile awards presentation again this year. Of course I said "Love to" as this was one of the funnest events I have ever had the plesure to be involved with.
This year we will be doing the candid coverage, the awards presentation and photo booth with on-site printing for the guests the theme this year is "rock and roll" so it should be a blast. I will be posting a couple from this event soon, stay tuned.
