McDougall’s FAMILY Album

hagecreative — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 22:36:51 +0000

I’m a Visual Storyteller, PERIOD.

Here’s what I mean by that. Taking individual photos is easy these days for anyone to do but intentionally shooting with a story in mind is altogether different. Like my wedding clients, my family clients deserve more than just a CD of images, they deserve to have a small piece of their family story told and made into a book. We experience life together with our families, making memories that will last forever. When I go into a session with families I tell them that we are shooting a story not just individual photos.

The McDougall’s every year spend an afternoon together having another story told. Enjoy this one…

I hope you enjoyed. I’m excited about spring family sessions with all the cherry blossoms on there way.

PS: Be on the look out for little baby girl photos! Any day now.

Sara + Jason lifestyle-session

hagecreative — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 22:47:23 +0000

You don’t have to be engaged to have your photos done. Sara & Jason got married several years ago and they decided that they wanted to have a fun photo session done of them and Buddy. These were family photos but more like engagement photos. What a fun idea, after you’ve been married for a year or more have a lifestyle-session done again and to document your continued love.

Over the past year my style of shooting has transformed into what I now call ”storybook-shooting”. What does that mean? I don’t just take photos, I capture moments that tell a story; your story. These stories are then put into beautiful archival albums.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Corey

PS: As you can see these albums don’t have to be only for weddings, get them of engagement/lifestyle sessions.

Live them, Love them, Share them!

If you are still on the fence about whether or not to do family photos this year then maybe this video will help. I recently heard someone say that we could possibly be in the era of lost photographs. What does that mean? Well, where are all your digital photos? If you’re like most people they are probably on your computer’s HD waiting to someday be lost. We have to face the fact that printed pictures are becoming less and less a norm for us. We love to have them online to view, share on Facebook but the album on the bookshelf is empty. So as a photographer what can I do to help bring these memories off a HD and into your homes. Put them to music and a fun style slideshow that you can put in your DVD player and watch them over & over. Always on the go, you can put them on your iPod too. Your photos always with you, not hiding but ready for the world to see. Be proud of your photos/memories. Not just the fancy camera that took them or the terabyte hard drive they sit on.

All family sessions that I shoot get a video just like the one above. It’s on DVD, it’s in iPod ready form and it’s online for you to put on Facebook/Blog/etc… This holiday season you can live your memories again with the loved ones around you.

Don’t loose your photos to a machine! Live them, love them, share them!!

PS: If you love the look of these videos and want to do them for your own pictures you take. Head over here, save yourself some $$$ and begin making your own movies.

PPS: If you don’t already have a place online to share your photos, sign up with SmugMug. They are the best.

The Nedelisky Family

Meet the Nedelisky family! A couple weekends ago my wife and I went down to spend time with her family to celebrate 4 family birthdays (all in the month of October). My sister-in-law asked me if I would do some family pics for them. My nephew’s are so much fun to be around and they didn’t disappoint me when they were in front of the camera. In a span of 45 mins I captured so many true loving family moments for them. I got the nicest email from my sister-in-law after I sent them to her.

i could not have gotten a better email today! …this week, month….decade! Thank you so much for your craft and expertise and your eye for love in families. you rock! simona

You don’t see much portraits here on my site but that doesn’t mean I don’t do them. I love them because it families that share deep true love, like my wedding couples. So don’t forget this is a great time of the year to get your family photos done for the Holiday Season. You know all those Xmas cards and perfect presents for friends & family. Be sure to give me a shout!!!

PS: The shot of the boys laying in the grass, yeah I was on my stomach to get that shot too!!!!
