2010-2011 Senior Representatives!

Hi everyone!

I am SO excited and SO happy to announce that LJP is introducing Senior Representatives. Four 2010-2011 Senior Representatives will be selected by LJP to have their senior portraits taken for free! Senior Reps will have a photo shoot tailored to their personality at a location of their choosing, make-up done by a professional for the gals (hopefully, this is still in the works!!), Senior Rep cards as well as some other possible goodies. The use of the images from the shoots will be used for any and all marketing and media materials used to promote LJP!

Deadline for applications is September 30, 2010. Please email laura@laurajunephotography.com for an application.

Thanks!!! I can't wait to see who our Reps will be! =0)

Tips for Taking Great Photos!

Hey everyone!

In lou of the Cutest Kid, Most Rockin' Family & Precious Pet photo contest, I am sharing some simple techniques to help improve the composition of your digital photos.

Tip #1

Don't shoot your subject straight on.

Shoot from up above or down below - anything to get a fresh perspective!

Tip #2

Don't be afraid to get close up!

Tip #3

Pay attention to the background - be aware of your surroundings.

This is simple - any snapshot looks better when there's a simple background as opposed to a room littered with toys or a sink full of dirty dishes.

Tip #4

Get down on your subject's level.

Tip #5

Stay from dead center.

Dallas Blooms!

Hey everyone! Dallas Blooms at the Dallas Arboretum is from March 6 - April 11. There are over 500,000 blooming bulbs of every spring variety. Tulips? Yes! TONS of tulips! If you book a session at the Arboretum for spring photos during the Dallas Blooms window, you'll get 20% off the session fee! The photo in this post was taken at last years Dallas Blooms - so beautiful!

Check out the Dallas Arboretum's website:

Let me know what I can do for you! Talk soon...

SAVE THE DATE!

Hey Everyone!

I am going to have a day of mini-photo sessions in March, probably Saturday the 20th. What is a mini photo session? I'll take your family, children's photos - whatever you wish - for about an hour at a designated location for $75! Think about it - an outdoor session for nearly half the price! This would be a great time to take a spring family photo or sweet Easter pics of the kids in their Easter clothes.

I'll keep you all posted on the details as the date approaches - but SAVE THE DATE! Mark your calendars now because space will fill up quickly! I will only have a limited number of session spots.

Talk soon!

Ashley

This is my favorite photo of Ashley from her senior portrait shoot. She is the best friend of Katie, whose pics were posted previously. They met in band in the 7th grade. Reminds me of my best friend and I... only we met in Mr. Saunders 7th grade Earth Science class. =0)

Enjoy!

Abigail Turns 1!

One of my dear college friends' sweet little Abigail just turned one. She wanted to have

photos of Abigail eating a birthday cake displayed at her 1st birthday party... so we did a shoot with a real cake (made by a friend who did an AMAZING job!) It was so messy and SO fun! Enjoy!
