Why MoonShot?

Sat, 1 May 2010 10:00:38 -0500

Why?
Cuz we LOVE senior photography! Keeps us on our toes and on the go. With that in mind, we’ve created an environment that we try to keep warm, inviting and a bit like home. From espressos or lattes to iPods, iTunes or computer games - we try to make it so that the whole gang can enjoy.

We’re a country studio ~ literally speaking. And, with the country way of living, comes the country way of being - personal and sincere. Each session is scheduled to allow time for every person to express themselves in their own unique way. We don’t work by formula, choosing instead to create from the individual nuances that each session brings. So, every session becomes an opportunity to explore, learn & to have fun - for us and for you.

All inclusive sessions!
We’ve adopted a a more contemporary approach to the final outcome of the Senior Session. Now every session includes a combination of high res images for printing, low res images for online sharing, up to ten images artistically rendered, same-day session highlights on facebook and a spiral bound book picturing all session images.

In addition, the Session Packages include a variety of discounted, professionally created prints, providing you with the ultimate mixture of both digital and print imagery.

A studio - on the grow!
With the addition of 1500 square feet of studio space comes an abundance of props and background options to work with. From the brick wall or the fireplace in the “den”, to the kaleidoscope of paper & painted backgrounds, we’re sure you’ll enjoy the variety of indoor options available to you.

Of course you’re always welcome to bring things from home. Look around - see those everyday things of yours with new eyes! Everything is game (no pun intended), from sports to hobbies. Or how about the quilt you’ve had in your room since you were a child. Pop junkie? - how about bringing a few (dozen) cases. The ideas are endless. What may seem simple and ordinary may actually be a very clever portrait - so don’t be too dismissive!

Outside...
With two acres of land and wonderful farmland surrounding us, we’re always on the look-out for a new way of seeing things. Some of the little diddies for outside pictures... our barn door area, car parts area, the white arch wild flower garden area, a wooden arch with the backdrop of lovely trees, the gorgeous ole ‘49 pickup, the old “Skelly” Ford pickup, an old “M” tractor, the 1800s combine, a couple wonderful old buildings, the rock garden pond - and the list goes on.

Oh, and lets not forget the wheat! Yes, we have beautiful wheat fields in virtually every direction. We’re perpetually adding to what has always been here - so you never know what new things we’ll find.

Still not sure?
Pre-session visits are welcome and may be arranged prior to your session. We’d love to show you around the studio and it’s surroundings. Give us a call or email!

The Sessions

Sat, 1 May 2010 09:00:52 -0500

The concept is pretty simple, the reality is HUGE!

In today’s world, one of the greatest advantages to digital photography is the ability to take - and to be a part of - a wide variety of imagery. Fun, spontaneous, story telling... today’s senior photography is all about... having it all!

And now you can! With these all inclusive sessions, you literally receive all the edited images from your session on a DVD with the ability to print as much or as little as you’d like - wherever you would like.

Every session includes high resolution images that will easily print up to 20x40 in size with no distortion. In addition, each session includes:
• Same day Highlights uploaded to facebook for quick online sharing!
• Up to 10 re-imagined images! We take a variety of our favorite images and artistically render them into wonderful new creations. Hi-Def, bleached, black  and white, borders, names, edges... a whole pallet awaits each image!
• A cd of low resolution images for virtual sharing... things like screensavers, facebook, myspace, email, slideshows. Whatever your fancy! just have fun with them and share, share, share!! :)
• A spiral bound image keepsake book with all the images. Sound like over kill? not really. as much fun as the digital stuff is, it is still great to hold something in your hand, to bring to work or to school or to just help in the narrowing down process
