Amanda 2010 "SENIOR"
We love photographing "SENIORS" and this session with Amanda just makes us realize why we love what we do. She came in last Saturday for a basic senior session which comes with 2 outfits, and she still got lots of variety & different looks. Even though she had never been here before she seemed totally relaxed and super easy to work with. When a person comes to the studio for the first time it usually takes them a little longer to warm up to us... but not the case with Amanda. I'm not sure if it was because of my friendly personality that put her at ease, or the fact that she & Bill are both from "CARTER COUNTY" LOL!!!! She was so sweet right from the start and her beautiful smile was definitely easy on the camera! Don'tcha just love the ones in the black & white outfit?!?!? OMGoodness, I think that is always such a fabulous color choice and her images are a perfect example. Also I hope she likes the one where her eyes are blue, but everything else is in "BLACK & WHITE", since this was her only special request. The ones in the yellow turned out so good too, the white top & skirt really showed of her tan nicely!!! Well I better quit running at the mouth or I'll never get her images posted, I know that she is anxious to see them. I hope that everyone enjoys this little sneak peak of Amanda's senior session! :)

"Prom Is In The Air"
This time of year is one of our most favorite times at Whitlock Photography. We just love to see all of the girls gorgeous dresses, shoes, hairstyles and beautiful flowers!!! And yes, the guys always look really handsome in their tux and they too sometimes have acessories like hats, canes or even cool shades! The studio will be open on May 8th and May 15th for area Proms. Please give us a call at 928-5854 if you have any questions or want to schedule an appointment. If you want to come earlier than 5:00 or have several couples coming together its a good idea to make an appointment, but as always walk-ins are welcome! The packages are exactly the same prices we have had for the last several years, so that is good news!! To see the packages and prices larger just click on the flyer. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon. :)

What a "DOLLBABY"!!!!
Meet an adorable little man whom we had the pleasure of photographing last week. I'm just sayin' he was about the best little guy we have ever worked with at this age!!! Most of the time you are lucky to get 20 to 30 minutes max when working with little ones, but not in this case. Roman was on a roll, but from what his family had to say about him this is just how he is.....such a good baby! Always smiling and happy and didn't seem to be bothered in the least by changing outfits several times. James you may have a little model on your hands, he definitely has the look! LOL!! He will surely be the heart throb for all the girls when he gets a little older though, so you better be ready!!! It was amazing how well he did during his photo session, and I think the images really tells it all. How about the one in the little sweater vest? I think he looks sooOOOo precious in that one, as well as the one sitting in the leather chair. It kind'a makes you wanna just reach out and squeeze him. And OMGoodness, both of the ones in the orange are just insane....his big brown eyes and skin tones look incredible! The close up one just melts my heart and also the one where he is standing up playing "patty-cake" has the cutest little smile. Also during this session I realized just how much our own little grandson is growing up. I remember us photographing Isaak at the very same age as Roman and how he had the chunky little legs & arms too. Well I know that I got a little carried away and posted more images than usual, but I just couldn't help myself. Plus his Momma is out of town in the hospital right now getting ready to have him a little baby sister. So I wanted her to be able to see some of these too, and will be thinking of you guys in the next few days. Hoping that all goes well and that these add a little smile in your day. Enjoy! :)

Cameras & vacation
Vacation season is almost upon us. Now is the time to get your camera out of the closet and prepare it for summer. Hopefully you removed the battery before storing. A fresh battery is a must before expecting your camera to properly work. Take a soft brush and remove any dust, if you see dust on the lens it is probably a good idea to have it cleaned. Most canned air has enough propellent in it to mess up your lens. Now is also a good time to brush up on your photographic skills. Reading the manuel may mean getting that special shot. You'll feel bad miissing that once in a lifetime shot because you were fumbling with your camera. Putting a A1 or uv filter on the lens will protect it from dust, sand, rain etc and may improve the picture. If you get the camera wet, dry it off with a soft, lint free cloth then set it out in the open to dry. DO NOT USE AIR. Try not to drop your camera in sand because the repair bill may be more than the is worth. A good camera bag can protect your equipment from most damage. A sturdy tripod is nice to have unless you are hiking. There are sturdy and light tripods but they are expensive. Digital cameras are fun to use but to get the maximum out of them can be harder than film cameras. Have fun.

I love spring
After having lunch with Theresa's aunt and uncle today at Apple Bees we took a drive in the country. After the cold and drab of winter I enjoy seeing the farms and communities come alive. The fresh cut lawns, the dogwoods in bloom along with all the other spring growth is truly a beautiful time of the year. It is easy to forget the daily grind of life when everything is so fresh and beautiful. Very soon everything at the studio will be green and ready for our outdoor spring sessions to start. I may even throw down a few bags of fertilizer, of course this depends on talking the wife into cutting the grass, or I can leave things alone and cut the grass myself.
