Collapsible Disk Reflectors

I am happy to report that my 5 in 1 Collapsible Disk Reflectors I purchased from Ebay for .99 + shipping from China made it to my snappy little fingers!  I was so excited that I borrowed some neighborhood kids to model.  I had my assistant helping with the positioning.  That was somewhat of a challenge to locate sun then angle just right without the wind picking her up.  Actually if you were driving by you might have laughed.

It's all in the Timing

Oh what fun kids are!  They seriously crack me up.  One of them accused me of working for the Paparazzi!  I had to laugh.  My daughter said, "Well, don't you know the name of her business"?  The other girl said, "no".  She said, "It's Snap Happy"!  The girl looked at me and said, "Good name".

Yesterday I asked some of the neighborhood kids, some will be in the upcoming photo shoot, to "pose".  Here are some of the results:

9.20.2010 - Oh SNAP!

Over the weekend we were busy working on things for Jordan & Lexi's wedding. I am "attemping" (I am going to use that word loosly) to make a covering for the wagon Chase AKA the #1 flower girl to pull down the isle.  I will edit this post with a picture.  Hopefully it will turn out as cute as it is in my head!

On some other news:
Over the weekend I tried locating some unusal locations for HS Senior - Jake.  He is into ART in a big way and thought it would be fun to take his picture by some graffiti because it was HIPPER than some murals.  I also contacted a friend that works at the train yard to see if they would grant permission and he said they don't do this due to safety reasons.  Man, I really thought that would have been a cool shot!  Oh well we will look into some else for him. 
Also, I am very excited that I finally made contact with Shannon the winner in the free give away at the Old Fashion Day in Walton, Ky. We are currently working schedules since the month is beginning to book up.

Finally, I did take some macro pictures Friday night of a NOT so HAPPY Praying Manthis... I must be lossing my charm!  He was camera shy I believe or just blinded by the flashes.  He wouldn't sit still for nothing!

9.16.2010

Wow, what a day it has been. Today has been a very busy day preparing for two upcoming photo shoots. I tend to put a great deal of time and thought into each shoot, because I want to personalize each session and be prepared for my clients!

The two shoots I have are: Jake a HS Senior who is very talented in Art. I have been searching for a wall with graffite on it in Northern Kentucky or at the railroad train station. I think it will not only be unusal, but show his personality.

The other shoot is The Hurles Family 10.10.2010- family size is 8 plus one dog. I have been jotting shot ideas all afternoon! So excited about this. I am sure I will post about the photo shoot and post some pictures.

So come back and see what's happening with SNAP HAPPY!

9.11.2010 Old Fashion Day




What a wonderful day it turned out to be for Snap Happy's 1st showing at Walton's Old Fashion Day. The crew reached the site before eight in the morning and was able to set everything up, (pitch canopy, build walls, hang photographs, place PR material out and set the candy up) ALL before it rained. Lucky for all of us it didn't stick around long!!

We had many visitors and I was so thankful to meet so many wonderful people that hopefully is looking for a LOCAL girl to take their family pictures.

In our FREE Portrait Session drawing our winner was: Shannon from Burlington, Ky. Congratulations Shannon I am looking forward to working with you and your family.
