My Idaho Camera Seminar was a huge sucess!

I have been so busy taking care of all my clients needs that I have not updated this blog forever. Usually in February or March things slow down but this year I have been swamped along with families, business and talent head shots, senior portraits and lots of new students taking my photography classes and workshops. In March I was asked by the Dennis and Pat Nagle owners of Idaho Camera if I would do a photography seminar for Idaho Camera, being a long time friend of Idaho Camera I was honored to accept the invitation. The class was for professional photographers and people considering becoming professional photographers and we had 85 people attend! Usually my classes are much smaller. We covered a lot of great topics and Met a lot of new photographers and had a blast. My associate photographers Chris and Jeff were both there to give their feedback to the crowd. Thanks guys I appreciate your continued support! Big things going on lately with our new model program at www.seemeshinemodels.com . Senior and family portraits have really picked up, call today if you have a family reunion or class reunion photography needs coming up. I will be posting some new images on this blog as well, my assistant Sarah was going to help with this but she and Ryan have been busy getting ready for their first baby, Bailey is due now any day congratulation's to them both! :o) Come see the new studio at 11588 W. Fairview Ave in Boise Idaho! Hope to see you soon, best wishes! Dirk, Jeff, Chris and Sarah.

Andrews senior portrait session in Eagle Idaho

Andrew and I got some great senior portraits at the studio and down along the river, nice guy and a great family! Thanks Andrew for the hard work!

Angies family portrait session

Angie called me to finally get her families portraits taken, we did some really cool stuff a couple years ago with her dogs, and said that I was the only photographer to ever get great images of her. I find that very hard to believe as she is so georgous, but thank you Angie for the compliment! Luigi & mom are very great people to work with as were her brothers. Bob asked if we could get some shots with his new bike as well. The sun was going down fast so we had to play beat the clock but the images turned out quite nice. Thanks to a great family!

The Lovely Ahva!

Ahva and I got together for a senior session recently and had lots of fun putting mom to work with the reflector :o), thanks mom! Got some fantastic images!

The right stuff training, fun for all ages!

I have been meeting all kinds of interesting students who have signed up for my photography training classes Our "The right stuff training" class has been getting more popular all the time. Kids as young as 12, couples, professionals with web sites & prices lists and many older folks as well. I really love to see the positivity and enthusiasm when they see how good there images can be in a short period of time using my 4 step method. We do a portfolio review and see what the student is doing right and look at the areas for improvement. I always enjoy hearing about the sucess of my former and current students. Let me know if you have a story to share with us about your sucess!

Spiezer & Monk Families

Ruth Monk called to say it was time for a portrait with her mom and dad her family, with her kids and her brother from Orange county with his family. The kid had blast skipping stones at the river with dad and playing with snails. All in all a really good time for all with some nice images for displaying in their home.
