Family Portrait Sessions

August 30, 2009

Today I’m officially announcing I’m offering Family Sessions! They can be used for Holiday Cards, special occasions, or just for fun! Every family should have portraits of themselves so they can look back on them years from now. It’s also great to have photos that can be passed down through the generations!

My family sessions aren’t shot in a studio. We will go on location to wherever you want! My style is simple and relaxed. I want to show your family in a natural environment so your portraits are more “you.”

In the next few weeks, I will also make a post showing off some cool family greeting card options!

If you are interested in scheduling a family portrait session, send me an email at allisonswisher@hotmail.com!

Tucson

August 26, 2009

Well…the new semester has begun. I’m all moved into my new apartment and it’s awesome. Classes are good so far and I’ve already learned some interesting stuff. I’m working on getting enough classes and it’s a bit of a challenge but I know everything will work out in the end.

The weather down here has been great with little storms every night. Below are a few photos of my view!

Outside of school, I’m looking forward to some senior sessions that are coming up soon! Hopefully they’ll turn out really well!

Happy Wednesday :)

Prints and Cards

August 20, 2009

I love my printing lab. Seriously, they are the best. Their prints are such high quality! I’m really impressed. They are super friendly and do an outstanding job from the ordering all the way through the packaging and shipping. So here’s a shout-out to professional prints at a reasonable price!

When you have a photo session with me, you have a few options for your photos but one of them is getting them printed through me at my lab. The metallic prints are my favorite ☺ but they have tons of paper choices! Another product I’m going to offer through them is printed cards for graduation announcements, etc. They’re two sided and I’ve made up a few different designs so far and below are a few samples of the front sides! If you order them, you can use one of the designs I’ve already made or I can make custom ones for you in different colors. I’m pretty excited about how they’re turning out!

Here are some sample shots:

Entrepreneur.

August 14, 2009

I think that title fit me basically from birth. It was in my genes though…my parents both have that title with the amazing painting/ faux finishing business that they’ve had for over thirty years. Even though I had tons of different career dreams when I was little, when I think back, about 90% of them were about me owning my own business. As a child I had lemonade stands, a soap business (Savvy Soaps ;) ), a floss bracelet business, a bead animal business, a jewelry business…and who knows how many more. I was one of those little kids who would always be busy making things and trying to sell them on the street curb. Now I realize how all of those little ventures helped prepare me for the career I want to spend my life doing. I learned from a very young age that to be an entrepreneur definitely meant struggle in the beginning and a whole lot of hard work. I watched my parents go through all types of joys and struggles and I can’t think of any way to describe it other than I was blessed. I got a little preview of my hope for a future without even knowing what exactly I wanted. I’m grateful to them for the example they’ve set for me and grateful for all of the people who have encouraged me to follow my dreams…even though sometimes they’re a bit crazy! Thank you to everyone who reads this blog, to those who let me help document their lives, and to God for gifting me with a passion for photography and a desire to work hard both for myself, and others.

Here’s a few more of the wonderful Keller family. Thanks for helping me work towards my dreams!
