Ok, wrapping up Cassie's shoot today.

There are always so many pictures I want to put on here, but I end up reminding myself that I'll run the risk of overwhelming you guys with too many pictures at once.  It should be noted though, if you want to see all of my favorites from every shoot, and not just the dozen or so I'll post on here, you can find them on Facebook.

If you've yet to check out 918 Photo on Facebook, check it out.  Aside from all of my favorite shots from each shoot, you'll find info on "special offers" 918 runs from time to time.  They'll be mentioned on here as well, but the Facebook page makes it so much easier to keep track of.  So if you've yet to find us over there, get to it!

It should also be noted that legally I have to say "find us on Facebook."  Or something to that effect.  And I can't directly link.  Facebook is odd like that.  As if I may direct someone to my Facebook page, and that person would somehow not notice they were at a Facebook page.  The "www.facebook.com/..." is sort of a dead giveaway.

Some of you may have noticed, it's been a long time since this site has been updated.  Some of you would be right!

Over on Facebook, 918 Photo had been drawing a lot more interest, and this site suffered for it.  No more.  Two equal places to find all the 918 Photo info you want, and more!

So let's jump right back into the swing of things here.  This set was taken in late May.  Our subject is a young actress named Cassie.  Cassie shot one location, two outfits, and ended up creating some of my favorite pictures to date.

You'll notice I did a lot of extreme closeups with Cassie.  I am a huge fan of these shots and you'll see them pop up in almost every shoot of mine.  I appreciate how they cut through all the excess and beautifully display the face.  As a headshot or just a regular portrait, I'm a huge fan.

So here's a little more of Cassie's shoot for you to enjoy, after the jump.  There will be a number of shoots from the summer popping up in the coming weeks.  If you're interested in getting just about anything shot (save for weddings), let me know, 918 Photo is ready to go!

Actually, holy broken power company.  I've been losing power daily recently, and it's the sort of thing that's an annoyance at first.  Then I realize my modem needs to be refreshed from the server, and my router needs to be reset and reconfigured or neither will work together.  It is a pain.  And it is happening daily (twice yesterday).

Combine that with a quick hitting cold last week, and the 918 Photo updates have been lacking.  Right after I made the twice weekly claim no less.

Well the power is on, all network related devices are running as they should be, and I'm gonna sneak an update in while I can.  Enjoy.

So, 918 Photo is starting to get noticed, and the client count is on the rise.  Our $100 individual headshot/portrait session price is certainly helping.  We're getting lots of headshot requests, which is awesome, they're fun to shoot.  They're so similar, yet so different every time out.  If you've yet to get in on that headshot/portrait special, get in while the getting is good.  That special introductory price of ours will not last.

I've had some great shoots over the past week, which you'll be seeing in the coming days.  Some headshots, some sibling portraits, some night time experimental work.  I'm attending a wedding this weekend (as a guest, not photographer) so I'll have some wedding (guest) shots to throw up in the next couple of weeks.  Plus, it's hot, and my dog is at the beach a lot.  So, dog beach shots.  Many things I tell you!

Today I'm also excited to announce a special family portrait session.  Special you say?  Special in that we're talking...

- a 2 hour shoot
- individual shots of each family member
- group shots
- whatever other pairings you'd like (the kids together, the parents together, males/females together...)
- your location(s) of choice
- color images and black and white images
- $300

So 918 Photo has taken some time, thought about it, and decided yes.  Yes, we should probably operate as an actual business and get some clients.

So we did!  Huzzah!

Yes, the client count has moved forward to 1!  In a row!

It's an exciting day here (even if the shoot isn't for a week and a half still), one which we're really looking to build on.  One which will lead to a few more additions to the site in the coming days (payment options, an actual list of our rates, other business type things), so keep an eye out for that stuff.

So in a couple of weeks you'll all get to see some officially sanctioned 918 Photo "work."  We'll have some selections from the shoot, it'll be super official.  Woo.

For now though, more dog pictures!
