Senior Portraits at Bentley's

Class of 2011 Model Search Coming Soon

In a few weeks I am attending a couple conventions and conferences where lots of new ideas are shared.  One thing about these types of conventions is that you come back excited and motivated with lots of new things you want to try.  One of the bad things is that as soon as you get back you have to hit the ground running trying to get caught up on things.  This year Cammie and Chance should be able to keep everything running at the studio while I am away and I will just have to let them know everything I learned when I get back.

Anyway, one of the first things we will be doing when I get back is looking for models for the class of 2011.  Like I said, I will have lots of new ideas and things I want to do new for the class of 2011.  We will be looking for students from any school around.  Keep checking back for more information and how to get an application.  It is going to be fun!

Just a few from last years model sessions.  Stay tuned to what we have in store for the class of XI!

 

Basketball and Wrestling

These are a couple posters from last week.  The WBHS wrestling team and WBHS boys basketball teams were both photographed last week and I finished the last of the posters on Saturday.  We were really happy with the way they turned out and are looking forward to seeing more teams in the next few months.

Team Video

We have been looking over some of our past posters and groups and thought we would put together a video of a few.  Some of these are really old and some were done just this week.  If you are on a team, have a team or child on one give us a call.  The WBHS wrestling team posters are going to the printers next week.

Mike Has Been Asked To Speak At National Convention

Just before Thanksgiving we got a phone call asking me to speak at a convention in January.  Last year I went with some of my friends to this convention and it was the best photography convention I have ever attended.  Needless to say I was very honored, and a bit overwhelmed when we got the call.  We just got the confirmation email today, so it is for real and I wasn't dreaming.  The convention is for photographers that photograph seniors and young people and has attendees from all over the world.  Now to get everything together over the next couple weeks for the program!

WBHS Cheerdoggs

Three weeks into competition season and on the road to Loganville in the morning.  We did the poster a little over a month ago with the police cars and now the group in uniform this week.  Good luck this weekend!  We will see you there.

Time To Apply For College!

Now is the time to get those college applications in!  October is the month to get in for early admissions and a great time to go for college visits.  If you haven't taken the SAT yet you had better get on it!  I know a lot of people that are making visits this week.  Go out and have some fun and visit some schools.

Yesterday we had a little bit of everything in the studio from babies and children up to seniors.  We went on location for a few shots late yesterday afternoon and I am posting a few shots here.

Georgia Square Mall

We have been working for the last month or two on a display at Georgia Square Mall and finally we got it installed this morning.  We are on the upper lever outside Belk going towards Hollister.  If you are in Athens shopping be sure and check it out.

Fall Is Officially Here

As of last week the season finally changed, and as of this week the weather did too.  I love the cooler weather, the changing leaves and the sports that come with this time of year.  Trips to the mountains with stops for boiled peanuts are always another thing we enjoy.  But, Fall is also a busy time of year and we don't get to do some of those things we always look forward to.  Competition cheerleading season starts as well as football season and at our studio Santa even comes in October.  So over the last few weeks we have been photographing a lot of cheerleaders, homecoming photos and gymnastics teams.  Senior portraits are still happening, and it is a great time for them, and we are seeing more families and babies than in the summer months.

Anyway, this is from Jeff's senior portrait session this past weekend.

Fall Portraits

The leaves are already starting to change!  Seems very early to me, but it made me think that I need to let everyone know about what a great time it is for outdoor portraits.  Last year we did some of my favorite outdoor senior portraits in the fall with the beautiful leaves in the background.  The problem is that you are back in school now and the times are limited.  We have several locations for beautiful outdoor portraits so give us a call and let us find a time and location to make your senior portrait really special.
