A senior photo shoot Jessalyn

One of my favorite times to shoot seniors is in the fall. The colors are great background for outdoor photography. We had a great time moving from location to location. Jessalyn was very creative in her posing skills. She was up for anything i asked her to do jumping, lying on the ground, twisting and leaning. We went to the Henry clay estate for the first session then we moved to down town Lexington KY. Our next session is winter photos at the Kentucky Horse Park. Just waiting for the snow.( i never thought i would say that)

Time for my website overhaul

Its time for me to overhaul my website. I will be giving it a new look with more information on our photography business  I have not added my new photos this year. Shame on me! I hope to be working on some new backgrounds for my pages. I will adding more in the way of seniors portraits witch i am leaning in to more thees days. I will be adding a page just for seniors giving them more information on how we do a senior photo shoot. I will removing most of the cheer photos on my site. Cleaning up my galleries make them more user friendly. So please be patient with me on my changes as i try to work this out. If you have any suggestions that you might like please feel free to drop me a e-mail. Thanks everyone

My Seniors

Hey everyone. Its been a while since i have wrote on my blog page. As i was going to all the graduations it reminded me of last years seniors i did photography for. They will moving on into a new chapter in their life, we wish them well. We have so much fun working with our seniors with our on location photography. The weather was great on every day we photographed (thats not bad considering the wet weather we had this year) the seniors. I had some new ideas i tried this year that worked great for me i was very pleased with the results. The parents were awesome for letting explore so of my creativity. My seniors were very willing to try some new ideas we wanted to try. The seniors also gave use some good action type poses like jumping and some awesome cheer moves. I am looking foreword to working with more seniors this year we have so new gear that will really make them look amassing. Our packages are loaded with prints and amassing slide show of the shoot that everyone will love to see. If you know anyone needing photography Prescott's Photography is the place.     
  

My Portfolio

This spring i need to update my Portfolio. My portfolio is the number one tool for expanding my photography business. I need a lot of new portraits for my book that i show my customers. I am currently looking for some people that would like to donate some time for a photography shoot. I would give the photos on a CD of the shoot to the guest that model for me. In turn i would have all the rights to use any of the photos in my portfolio or on my web site www.r-prescott.smugmug.com . The photo shoot location would be different for each shoot. You can bring several change of clothes or and props you would like. The only requirement is that you show up to have fun. I would like to expand my business to weddings and portraits. The portfolio i am making will be a leather bound book with a tone of my best photos. The photos would be feathered on my home page of my web site. My web site gets on the average of 1200 hits a day. The this gives a lot of attention to of you. Photos will be taken in the Lexington KY area. if you have any good sites that you would like to use i am open for any suggestions. So remember any good places you have seen over the years that you think would make a great photo session. I will review all inquires that request a photo shoot based on my needs at that time. With the first sign of spring is a good time to start planing for some outdoors portrait So if you are getting married and need so engagement photos or just want some portraits of your self drop me a e-mail prescottsphotography@gmail.com you may get picked for so free photos.

Cheerleading Photography

Probably one of the hardest photography to shoot is Cheerleading. The fast action of the cheerleaders and the poor lighting make it a nightmare to shoot. Most point and shoot cameras are not capable of shooting a fast shutter speed to stop the action without blurring the photo. Even LSR cameras with kit lenses will not have a fast enough lens to bring everything together. First you need a fast lens for your camera. One that will go down to a F2.8 or lower The problem with a fast lens is speed cost a lot of money! Fast lens are very expensive to buy. Dont think that if you have a fast lens like a f2.8 that you can just start shoot like a pro. I have only scratched the surface were talking custom white balance of your camera to get true color and not yellow photos. Next pushing the ISO so you can get your shutter speed up at least 1/400 or higher but be careful to high of the ISO and your photos will look grainy. Next you have to set your focus point to center so you camera would focus on something other then your subject. Even with all that i have told you still have to be able to adjust on the fly to make small adjustments as you go. But dont blink in cheerleading you blink and you will miss something like a flyer spinning down or some other crazy move that the do. If i have confused you on any of this then you should leave this to the pros. So dont be surprised if you see me at a event firing of photos stopping the action. Good luck
