Harrison ... Enid, OK Photography

We love the glasses,
the sweater, khakis and shoes,
the pose, feet and hands,
but most of all,
we love the smile and heart of this little man.
What a gentleman!

the DeLaCruz sisters ... Enid, OK Photography

Mother's boots ...
a bottle ...
a Hannah Montana shirt ...
a trike with a Disney shirt (I didn't recognize the pictures) ...
and two wonderful smiles!
Sometimes you just have to let children be children.
And if I'm lucky, it will be the parents idea.
Thanks Mickey and Mandy!

Meade ... Enid & Okeene Photography

Meade's portrait is the third in a series that we have done for his parents.
The first was his oldest sister (which was taken as a display portrait for an Enid business) and then his younger sister came in three months latter.
All three of the portraits were done to compliment each other.
With all the variables that we have available, we keep notes on every session. When we began the studio in 1975,  we thought that we could remember how we photographed each sitting by looking at the first portrait ... wrong!
The notes include a lighting diagram with the corresponding camera settings, and a small portrait.
And while it is impossible to match a portrait, it is possible to come close and compliment.
I can't wait to see how the three portraits look on mom and dad's wall!

Trevor ... Senior 2011 ... Enid, OK Photography

It's just not a case of finding a cool looking background. Through a camera lens, it's all cool!
So we have to find a background that works with the subjects clothing, and style.
A bunch of tin and ancient bricks are not compatible with dressier clothing, it just doesn't make sense. But here with the causal clothing and chain, it does. Now tie in the colors of clothing, hair and skin tones with the black, white and red of the background and it is a great portrait.
Trevor, have a great graduation! You and your family are always wonderful to work for. Thank you!

Rebecca ... Enid, OK Photography

Happy, poised and bubbly!
These are all words that would help me describe Rebecca.
And this portrait.
The pose, the background, and the pompoms vignetting the bottom of the portrait brings our eyes back to her face ... happy, poised and bubbly.

PS, We have another pose as a display in our studio, please take a moment to drop in and check it out.

the Boeckman Brothers ... Enid, OK Photography

Many times a portrait will happen.
If you can wait.
And wait.
And wait.
But then you have to be ready.
The exposure set, the zoom lens set, the angle of the camera set, the lights set.
And wait some more, with your finger on the trigger.
But I knew brothers will be brothers. It's what we are all about with each other.
What a memory for their families, as well as themselves.
