Holiday 2013 Mini Sessions post 2

KG Russell Photography 2013 Holiday Mini Sessions:

I am going to offer 3 days of shoots this year. Each day will be at a different out door location. Each session will be a half hour long. The sessions this year will be $45.00 and include 15 images on a Copyrighted disk. My plan for this year is to have someone with me who can share your session with you so that you can choose your 15 images. Each image will be offered to you in color and black & white and you may choose one image to be personalized with your Holiday Message. Any extra images or effects that you want on an image will be offered at 2 images for $5 extra dollars. Examples: black & white with a pop of color or personalized with your Holiday message (Happy Holiday's Love the Russell's.)

For each location I will have several props available. I have a old wooden sled, supplies to be used to decorate a tree at each location, fake presents, fake snow. Also a Merry Christmas banner. I am also working on a surprise backdrop. Check back for the surprise...

Contact me via email at kgrussellphoto@yahoo.com to set up your session. If you have my phone number feel free to call or text me as well. When you email me I will give you my number to call with any questions or concerns.

The dates and locations are:

December 1, 2013 at Wolfe Park Binghamton, NY

Wolfe Park is a wooded park it has a small pond with a dock, a gazebo, trails, and a small creek with a waterfall.

December 7, 2013 at a secret location in Binghamton, NY

To find out about this location you will need to contact me via email to find out about this location.

Sorry but this is one of my favorite locations and do not want to let the "cat out of the bag." so to speak... I did one Holiday session at this location and will be sharing them with you so you will have the opportunity to see what it has to offer. I will not be offering set times for this location but a time will be agreed upon for those interested in this location.

Watkin's Family

This next family shoot I am so glad, for many reasons, that I had the opportunity to do a session for them.

They were a great bunch to be able to shoot and we had some fun.

Also this year Larry, dad/grandpa, passed away. This was their last family shoot before he was unexpectedly taken away from them.

I am hoping the posting of this shoot at this time of year will bring happy memories of this family day for the whole Watkin's family.

Larry & Paula- the beginning of this family!

Another interesting fact about this shoot that I noticed while editing was that this is the only Holiday session that I did not use any props for. This session was more about having family photos then it being all Holiday. So, the only prop that was used was the location.

Watkins family, as it is getting closer to your first Holiday without Larry, I can only imagine how hard it will be on all of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers to have a wonderful Holiday season filled with memories of Larry. I hope that the posting of this shoot helps in the happy memories of this time of year for all of you.

Three As

This Holiday shoot we ended up doing on two different days. Alicia wanted to do some at her dad's house in front of his fireplace and I wanted to do some outside with her and the kids.

Our first set were done at The Endicott Visitor Center and then we headed to The Rail Trail and the Train Station Building (I forgot what it's name is.) Just before it started getting dark we headed to the reservoir on Taft Ave in Endicott.

Our next set of photos we met at her dad's house and did some in front of the fireplace.

Holiday 2013 Mini Sessions

I have several post to still share that I took in between the Bees in the Graveyard and last years Holiday Mini Sessions. But because we are a week away from the official Holiday month I am going to jump forward just a bit to share some ideas for this years Holiday Shoots. In the Holiday shoots that I will be posting from last year I shot a few of them at the Endicott Visitor Center, unfortunately that is not a site that I am offering this year but I am sharing them so that you can see some of the poses used from last year.

I am going to offer 3 days of shoots this year. Each day will be at a different out door location. Each session will be a half hour long. The sessions this year will be $45.00 and include 15 images on a Copyrighted disk. My plan for this year is to have someone with me who can share your session with you so that you can choose your 15 images. Each image will be offered to you in color and black & white and you may choose one image to be personalized with your Holiday Message. Any extra images or effects that you want on an image will be offered at 2 images for $5 extra dollars.
