Baby, Child, Family, Newborn and Senior Photographer
Another session from the summer that got buried in my files was with this great family! We had a little bit of ocean views (albeit on a gray day!) and we found an amazing blue wall — a perfect backdrop. Even though the sky was solid gray, the smiles we got made for a happy day. These just might be some of my favorite images from the summer!
Going back through my summer clients, I realized that I neglected to blog one of my favorite sessions! This beautiful couple hasn’t had portraits together since their wedding, and now 4 beautiful children later, they decided it was time! We did a sunset session on the beach and it was simply gorgeous! The glow of the sunset and some quiet together made for a fantastic session! Enjoy!
I just got back from a long weekend in Bozeman, Montana where I kicked off the fall photography season with 13 mini-sessions! You’ll see some peeks from those sessions in the coming weeks on my blog, but now that I’m back in California, I’m gearing up for mini-sessions here in a few weeks!
I’ve got 2 dates and 2 locations and the 15-20 minute mini-session will result in 10-15 finished images for your consideration. The session fee is $75 and includes a set of 25 custom-designed holiday cards. Additional items can be ordered a la carte or through one of my special holiday mini collections.
Please note: the November 3rd sessions will be in the morning and the November 11th sessions will be in the afternoon.
You can see the holiday card templates for this year here! So go check ‘em out then get in touch to book your session for Nov 3rd or 11th! amy@amyshertzerphotography.com
My sister-in-law is an athlete extraordinaire! She’s a very accomplished runner (she ran in the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials last year!) and decided to come for a visit a few weeks ago to see her favorite nephews and compete in the Herbalife Los Angeles Triathlon.
As a runner myself, I was eager to go cheer her on, camera in hand, of course!
The race started with a 1 mile swim at Venice Beach. We arrived at dawn to a beautiful and peaceful scene, the full moon still hanging low in the sky over the ocean.
As the sun came up, the waves of competitors started. Emily was in the wave with all the women, which was the 8th or 9th to start.
Throughout the morning the waves kept coming, in, well, waves. It would be relatively calm for a few minutes, then these enormous swells would come in. As luck would (or maybe would not) have it, just as Emily’s wave started, the swells got huge. At this moment, I was pretty darn glad I was on shore as a spectator! But, Emily is a great swimmer and the waves didn’t get her down. She charged through and came out of the water as one of the top swimmers from her starting wave!
Next, she hopped on my borrowed road bike for a 24 mile trip to downtown Los Angeles.
I hopped in my car to get there and due to infamous L.A. traffic, she actually beat me! I did make it in time to see her smoking the 10K run (in 36:42!).
She did amazing! And her efforts earned her a 5th place finish in her age division, which meant special recognition on stage and a nice shiny medal to take home!
As always, you can check out what some of my talented female photographer friends have been up to with their take of “10 on 10″ by following our blog circle. There’s no better place to start than with Milwaukee Photographer Melissa Schuett!
No thank you! I would skip that swim!! Love that first shot… calm before the… race
Kudos to her! What an amazing accomplishment!
I am so excited to share the beautiful holiday card designs I’m offering for 2012! There’s something for everyone. . . traditional, modern, fun, funky, beautiful, and whimsical. Anyone who books a holiday mini-session with me (details available here!) will get a complimentary set of 25 of these, customized with your own beautiful images. I’m also offering them to clients from this past year, so if you’d like to order, please let me know!
Most of the cards are 5″ x 7″ flat (think postcard style), full color cards, printed on a high quality press paper. A few of the designs are die-cut (with ornamental shapes or rounded corners) and a few of the designs are 5″ x 5″ square. All can be customized with a different color, greeting, names, etc.
