Senior Portraits class 2008

We started off our new season of graduation portraits with Taylor Boegel. Taylor is the third in the family to have his senior portraits done at Richard DeCamp Photography. Taylor is a captain for the upcoming season for the Wayzata Varsity Football team. We created some unique images for Taylor to show his committment to the Wayzata Football program.

Everyone is doing it. . . or are they? Trying to conserve or at least be conscious of the daily impact they have on the environment. Are we trying to get on the bandwagon?

The main reason we decided to only send two mailings has to do with the 200 plus mailing s we received last year when our daughter was a senior. We could wallpaper our entire house with the number of brochures and postcards we received. One studio sent no less then 12 cmailings. While we found it interesting to compare our work with others, it became obvious that it was truly a waste of paper on a grand scale. I actually asked one company to take her name off their list. Mulitiply the number of mailings you receive by the number of seniors in your class by the number of schools in your area. You get the idea.

While we think our photography sells itself, we aren't willing to push it on you over and over again. It really is time for a change. We appreciate the fact that you took the time to visit our website and view our images and philosophy. Please pick your photographer based on quality, reputation and your comfort price point. We hope you find that is us.

A session with Sky

Spent the morning with Sky an 18 month old little guy. His mom was here to have us create our "lifestyles portrait" session for him. We played in the studio and even headed outside. Young Sky was a trooper outdoors on a cool morning.

NEW!! - Coffee table books - any theme

The newest addition to our product line is very exciting. I've wanted to be able to create my own Coffee table style books for my clients, but have had trouble finding a quality product. Finally we have secured a printer that can meet our high quality standards in single runs of printing. These finely crafted books our designed by our studio then fabricated by our lab. They can be used for any portrait, here we show a "baby's first year" edition.

Holly Bayer - Hauthaus designs

Photographed the lovely Holly Bayer - owner Hauthaus designs. Her creative design skills showed up in her approach to having her portraits done. Clean lines, unique angles, these are the design elements that show thru in her work, and what I attempted to bring forward in her portrait session.

If you have a need for a designer, Holly comes highly praised. Visit her website at http://hauthaus.com
