Dustin: 2010 Senior Cochranton Area Junior Senior High School | Cochranton Senior Photographer

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

The other night, I had the chance to photograph Dustin.  We were very limited on time, but managed to still crank out 5 outfit changes, a uniform and a car!  Go us!!  It was very fast paced, but we made it work!  I am on my way out of town, but wanted to be sure I posted a little sneak peek for him before I left.

Dustin, I had a great time and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!!

Just us. | Meadville Area Photographer

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

I was outside getting some shots of the kiddos since it was a gorgeous day and they wanted me to get in on the action.  So…I busted out the tripod and went for it.  Lucky for Bryan (hehe) he pulled in just in time to squeeze in for a quick family one!  Here is the result:

Headshots with the Gorgeous Dominique | Meadville Area Photographer

Friday, October 16th, 2009

About a month ago, I had the opportunity to photograph the gorgeous Dominique before she headed home.  She is currently on a quest to become Much Music’s next Vee Jay!  My opinion is that between her sweet personality and stunning looks, she will take Canada by storm!   If you would like to support Dominique and help her achieve her dreams, feel free to vote for her HERE and join her group on Facebook HERE.

Dom, it was truly a pleasure working with you!  I hope you enjoy your photos!

What To Wear

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Hi there, Kelly Gorney fans! I’m Lauren Corso, writer of the blog Stylized Existence and also Kelly’s brother Joe’s girlfriend!  Since I launched my blog a few weeks ago, Kelly asked me if I would be interested in doing “What to Wear” guest blogs for her site, and of course I jumped at the chance – thanks for the opportunity, Kel!

I know it can be overwhelming getting dressed day-to-day, let alone dressing for photographs that will be hanging above your mantel for years to come!  You certainly don’t want to look back at your photographs and shudder when you see your family wearing what was “trendy” in 2009 but looks silly ten years down the road.

Below is an outfit for each member in a family of four – a man, a woman, a little girl, and a little boy.  Keep in mind that the general idea behind how I chose these outfits is more important than the exact pieces.

Week1

Notice that the family members are all wearing classic pieces of clothing (corduroys, cardigan sweaters, classic jeans) and that I kept the family mostly in neutrals, choosing one color to stand out.  My jumping off point was the little girl’s shirt.  It has corals, oranges, and pinks in it.  I tried to find darker and lighter shades of that focal color for the other family members to wear, so that they blend nicely.    I pulled the orange into the little boy’s sweater, and the pink into the Mom’s sweater, keeping the Dad in shades of brown.

The most important thing is to take away from this outfit is to keep things coordinated, without getting too matchy.  Don’t be afraid to use color or patterns, just make sure when put together, they complement each other.  I hope this can help you put together an idea for your family’s fall photos! 

Family shoot with an awesome photographer | Meadville Area Family Photographer

Monday, October 12th, 2009

This past weekend, Bryan, the kids and I headed to Ohio to meet up with a very cool fellow photographer, Amber Campbell.  Amber is in the Cleveland area and specializes in children & family lifestyle photography.  Check her out!  Of course, what photographer get together would be complete without pictures, right?  I got some shots of Amber and her family and she got some of us.  We met up in the cutest little town.  Totally reminded me of Stars Hollow!  It was a great time and we are hoping to do it again, too.  Who knows?  Maybe a coffeehouse edit session is in our near future!

Now, onto the goods!  Here are some pics of Amber’s adorable family!
