A special offer on our pet photography sessions…

I thought I’d share a different kind of family photo session today.

Daisy and Matt are simply crazy about their Siberian Husky puppy, Ghost, and who could blame them? Have you ever seen a cuter face?! I can attest that he is as sweet as he is adorable. Larry and I had so much fun photographing him and his parents in their home recently.

Our pets are such cherished members of our family but we often don’t think about photographing them regularly like we do our two-footed children.

If you’ve always wanted photos like these of your dog, now is the time to book your session. We are including an additional 11×14″ art print in our pet photography package until February 1st! Contact us at the studio for details.

To see more adorable pups, check out our Buried Bone Photo website.

Victim of Hurricane Sandy + How to Properly Store Negatives

We recently got a call from the mother of one of our former clients. She was near tears as she explained that her daughter’s album was badly damaged by Hurricane Sandy. As is often the case, a couple’s wedding album becomes a treasured family heirloom and to see it in this soggy condition is quite distressing. I reassured her that because we had stored the negatives safely over the years, remaking the album would be no problem. We’ll keep you updated on its progress.

If you are in possession of photo negatives, either from your wedding or from when your mom or dad would document your family vacations with the trusty old Kodak Instamatic, here are some tips for keeping them safe:

1) Keep your negatives in the sleeves they came in. Photo labs use acid free sleeves that won’t discolor or cause damage over the years.

2) Store in a cool dry place. Do not keep them in a basement or attic.
If the temperature is comfortable for you then it’s good for your negatives.

3) Lay them flat in a sturdy acid free cardboard box, you don’t want them getting crimped.

Follow these simple steps, and your children and their children will be able to have prints made from your negatives.

If you are in the market for acid free boxes or negative sleeves, Archival Methods will have everything you need.

Family photo session in Balboa Park

The star of our last blog post makes another appearance today, this time with her whole family!

We photographed Cynthia and Ted’s wedding a few years ago and since then, we’ve been so honored that they have asked us to continue documenting their growing clan.

What’s so fun about photographing this family (besides each being so easy on the eyes), is that they are also incredibly warm and loving. Christopher and Jimmy adore their baby sister and Mom and Dad’s eyes light up whenever they look at their children.

It’s so evident that they all love and enjoy each other so much. Being around them just warms the heart.

squishable, ticklish, adorable…

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I thought this would be an appropriate day to share with you some images from a recent visit to Plymouth Plantation in Massachusetts.

For those of you not familiar with this fascinating place; it is a living museum wherein actors portray what life was like for the Pilgrims shortly after arriving on the Mayflower.

Once you step through the gates, you are transported back to 1627 and every detail is perfect in its authenticity. The actors are playing real colonists, their speech and mannerisms odd and stilted to our modern ears but true to the 17th century. Larry had an interesting conversation with Myles Standish about his views on war and his dealing with the local Wampanoag tribe. These actors don’t pull any punches – they are not concerned with offending our politically correct sensibilities. Standish made no apologies for his beliefs or what we would consider a brutal course of action against the neighboring tribes. While it was difficult to listen to, it was also amazing to hear his point of view.

What’s most unique and special about this museum is the interaction with the colonists. Barging into their homes and asking all sorts of questions is not only okay, but encouraged. While visiting the Governor’s house, I commented to him about the size of his very small bed. This thing was maybe 4′ wide and 3′ long. He explained that everyone slept sitting up. Apparently it was considered very bad for digestion to lay down after eating.

Speaking with the women was really interesting too. I can’t imagine even spending one hour doing the back-breaking work they were required to do day in and day out.

I left there feeling very thankful indeed – mostly for the wonderful modern appliances that make our lives so easy but also for educational resources like this one, that aren’t afraid to shine a true light on this seminal time in America’s history.
