LifeStyle Photography

What a beautiful weekend! We had time to relax, do a little shopping and have a bite to eat at Wunchie’s in Old Town Spring. Spent a little time in praise and worship at church.

This Monday morning is another "great new day the Lord has made"! We are into a very busy week of children’s portraits, business portraits and wedding photography on Saturday. Valerie and Frank are getting married - a wonderful couple. We delivered Valerie’s bridal portrait last week for her to display at the reception. We’ll show you the portraits and some wedding photos next week.

Two large Montage wedding albums (street name is flush mount albums) are in the works for this week. One for Anita and Steven and another for Melanie and Marvin. Each album takes about 16 hours to create. It’s all custom work, so I see some OT on my schedule. We love it though. It’s what we do!

Spring and Fall are the busiest times for organizations to raise money for their cause. We are asked regularly for Gift Certificates for their silent auctions, and we gladly contribute. We give Gift Certificates to many of the local PTOs, CASA, Rotary, E.C.H.O. Foundation, Heart Association, Mercer Arboretum, NAM just to name a few. Your organization can be added to our list. We will be happy to give you a couple of certificates for a portrait session and a Keepsake Portrait. Those who come to us with a certificate get full service. They get a full, regular portrait session and the finest in finished portraits. All you have to do is call Chuck or Carol at 281.251.4646 or email chuckg2525@sbcglobal.net . Don’t hesitate to ask.

It happens all the time. Couples get married in another city or on a tropical island. Their photographer gives them all their images on DVD but no album or prints. So they have “digital negatives” but nothing to hold in their hand and look at. We can design a wedding album and print individual prints for them, and we have already done a couple of albums like that. There are various style of wedding albums we can show you. We offer the flush mount albums (we call them Montage albums), traditional matted albums and the contemporary coffee table books. The smaller versions of these albums called “Brag Books” are a huge hit these days. That DVD will sit in a drawer forever unless you decide to do something with the images. Just call us at 281.251.4646 or email chuckg2525@sbcglobal.net. Carol and I will enjoy helping you!

Guests from all over Europe and the U.S. came to witness Anita and Steven celebrate their vows. A true international wedding. Their ceremony was at Christ the Good Shepherd Catholic Church where Anita is children’s choir director. Lots of kids at the wedding. Augusta Pines hosted their reception. A very scenic country club with outstanding service directed by Susan Metzger. Carol and I truly enjoyed being wedding photographers at Anita and Steven’s wedding celebration. We are in the process of designing their flush mount (we call it Montage) album. As soon as it is done, we’ll show you some of the pages. Check back often.

Carol and I are honored that you have taken time to visit us. This is our first venture into the blogging world. It's exciting and maybe a bit scary - keeping fresh images and information posted regularly. Another item added to the "to-do" list. When you visit you can expect to see portraits and wedding photographs, as well as some information about the subjects and the wedding couples. We'll give you some hints on preparing for portraits, what to do on Bridal Portrait day, how to handle your dogs for family portraits. There will be all kinds of portrait and wedding related information here. You will get the first announcement on SPECIALS right here. We plan to have regular specials for locations and studio sessions. We already have a set of Bridal Show Specials for wedding photography. That will be posted here also. We'll be showing samples of Story Board Portraits, Wall Folio Portraits, Montage Wedding Albums, Photo Restoration. We'll talk about and show what is meant by " a touch of color" in wedding photographs. This may be the time for you to put us in "favorites".
