Senior Portraits – it’s that time again!

Seniors! You do NOT have to go to one of those places that churn out portraits! Treat yourself instead to a custom senior portrait session! We can do your portraits indoors right in your own home or a friend’s! Why not do a BFF session? Weather permitting we can also go outside after the indoor photos or, with one of the extended session packages we can head to another location that day or even on another day!

Your senior portraits should be all about you, your likes and interests! They should be special and unique – just like you!

Call us at 518-225-6306 now to learn more about our packages and the many options and, most importantly – to schedule your senior portrait session now! We have limited openings through the end of August and on through September.

Jennifer’s Senior Portraits

Thank you Jennifer for inviting me to take your senior portraits!

It was great fun – especially when Cheech tried to get in the pictures! The photos are beautiful! Be sure to look at the last ones – those have been modified a little – some with a vignette, one in black and white, some with your class year or name, etc. I only did that to a few – but I can make the same enhancements to any of your portraits.

Here is the link to the full photo session.

Congratulations to Shabre!

With her family & friends all around her, Shabre celebrated her high school graduation last Saturday night in style! Everyone boarded the Dutch Apple Cruise ship in Albany for a 3 hour sail down the Hudson River and back!

The music was fantastic – you could almost feel the ship bounce to the beat coming from the mid deck. The galley served up some wonderful food on the lower deck. And on the upper deck, we were shooting photo magnets of everyone!

I just finished uploading the photos to the website! Take a look and enjoy!

Niskayuna High School Senior Gala

We joined Niskayuna’s students again this year at their Senior Gala. In between dancing and dining at the Century House in Latham, students came to get their photos taken and turned into our photo magnets. From the huge quantity we printed, its clear that lockers and fridges will be well decorated!

I’ve just finished uploading the photos. You can order copies of your favorites here on our website. While the magnets were black & white, the photos themselves are full color – so you can see how wonderful everyone looked!

We also provide our photomagnet service at graduation parties but we do book those dates quickly! So give us a call at 518-225-6306 to make your arrangements now!

Katie and Tim go to the Junior Prom!

I had the pleasure of visiting Katie’s home as she made her final preparations for the Niskayuna Junior Prom. While we waited for her escort Tim to arrive made did a variety of beautiful portraits!

I have just finished processing all of the photographs and have posted them for your viewing here on my website.

For the Niskayuna Juniors be sure to give us a call at 518-225-6306 to book your senior portrait session!

And for the Niskayuna Seniors – see you at your Gala again this year where we’ll be offering our photomagnets service!

Mazal Tov Leah!

She did a wonderful job with everything – from the readings to her singing, she was fantastic! Cool, calm and collected in two languages!

Leah was surrounded by family and friends at Congregation Gates of Heaven in Niskayuna.

We took photographs before the service, during the practice and during the Mitzvah itself and at the luncheon. Tonite we’ll be capturing some fun photos at the kids party!
