Last Friday I had the pleasure of shooting portraits for the Stout’s. Floyd & Arley were having their 50th Anniversary that day and after portraits they went for a nice dinner with their two sons Bradley & Byron.
We started in studio with some classic shots, then went for a little walk in the park for some relaxed outdoor looks. I love outdoor shooting and this was a neat session.
The cliffs along Banks Lake headed towards Grand Coulee get some amazing frozen waterfalls this time of year. On my escapades recently, I came across Jay and Brian, two climbers from the west side of the State, come over to brave the cold weather and get some climbing in. Here’s a few shots I took of them taking on these neat looking ice falls.
2009 is shaping up to be a busy season for me. I’m hoping to move into the new studio this summer and that’s going to be a big step. I’ll also be working out some great senior portrait offerings as we come into spring and summer.
Right now weddings are the order of the day. Much of my activity has been on the new Seim Weddings site. I just finished designing the new business cards and I’m really happy with them. You can see those in this post.
I’ll also be at the 2009 Bridal Premiere in Wenatchee hosted by Katrina’s. It’s always a fun show and we have lots of neat products to display. You can see more about that, and a look back at 2008 with a few of my favorite wedding pictures over in this post. Catch you soon… Gav
Here’s wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. The blessings of Christ abound around us. I’m thankful for my family, my customers and my colleagues. Here’s a little collage of self portraits we made in the studio yesterday. It would be tough to send cards to everyone since I know so many people, this is our version of a Christmas greeting.
Gavin, Sonrda and Cyrus
I’d like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks for being customers and fans of Seim Photography, and helping us build this business.
I’m also so thankful to God for my great family, and the amazing things he has created around us. Life is not always perfect, but there’s always something to be thankful for and the world is an amazing place.
~HAPPY THANKSGIVING~
There’s a new baby in town. My brother Blake and his wife Alisha just had another boy. That makes for two boys and one girl. Ivan was born on November 15th and was 8LB 9OZ at 22″
These pictures are when he was one day old. Their just snapshots, but I wanted to post him up before he started getting old. He’s getting more active as the days pass. Congratulation to Blake and Alisha.
I often use a technique called HDR in my photography. It’s a bit cutting edge, and chalenging, but it has amazing results. You’ll see HDR all over my site and in the Nature Gallery, but I’ve finally compiled my favorite HDR portraits. Baciaclly HDR is a method of combing lightness levels to achieve a high light to dark range. I’ll explain a bit more about how HDR works on the HDR Portraits Page
As many of you know that I just recently launched the Seim nature galler and canvas store. To make it even more fun I decided to start offering FREE desktop backgrounds of some of my favorite images.
All you have to to id download the file, and set the chosen image as your desktop background. Their already pre-formatted to fit most screens. We’ll see how this goes, and if people like them I’ll be adding more in the future. Enjoy, Gav.
