Sure there are the photos of you in your Sunday Best in front of a plain blue background but the best ones show not just who you are but what you are...and the very best transcend the typical standard grin to elevate into fine art.<br /><br />Some of my sessions are specifically headshots, but for artists, musicians, actors, creatives I also offer an Artist Portfolio, designed not only to get those facial close ups in but also to bring in body gestures and coordinated backgrounds, too.<br /><br />I recently photographed Rio Markham, an actor here in Phoenix and in the course of creating images that evoked the Old West for a man that is Cowboy raised we came up with this image...<br /><br />Headshot or Art...you decide.<br />

I met Tess Hinson at the John Denver Tribute Festival that is held in Aspen Colorado each October in celebration of his life. It's a generous community of musicians and fans and musicians that are fans as well as friends of John who shared his life. Tess is a most ardent musician fan. This past December she brought me out to rural Tennessee to share her music, the land and her friends with me while I created an artist portfolio for her.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'd like to share this lovely woman with you so I asked her to tell you about her music and muse:</div>
<div class="_3hi clearfix">
<div class="_38 direction_ltr">
<span class="null">Music has been a part of my life since the moment my soul was formed. I cannot imagine a life without it.</span><br />

<div class="_1yr">
<span class="_2oy"></span></div>
</div>
<div class="_3hi clearfix">
<div class="_38 direction_ltr">
<span class="null">I
started playing guitar and singing when I was about twelve years
old. Bob Dylan and Joan Baez were my role models...I lost touch with my
roots when I got married and had two beautiful children.</span></div>
<div class="_1yr">
<span class="_2oy"></span></div>
</div>
<div class="_3hi clearfix">
<div class="_38 direction_ltr">
<span class="null">As
I grew older I started singing gospel music at church...Lost touch
again when I remarried and moved to Tennessee. When I realized that a
life without music was not acceptable I started writing songs.</span><br />

</span></div>
<div class="_1yr">
<span class="_2oy"></span></div>
</div>
<div class="_3hi clearfix">
<div class="_38 direction_ltr">
<span class="null">I
have always loved John Denver and started attending his annual tributes
in Aspen....I was so inspired and encouraged by the folks I met there
that I found my place again. I have since recorded two CD's..One of my original songs and a John Denver cover CD including two original tribute songs<span class="null"></span></span></div>

<span class="_2oy"></span></div>
</div>

The yearbook senior photos!!!<br /><br />But here's the thing...not all parents realize that they only have to do the official yearbook photo with the contracted photographer..the photos that you want to display in your home and gift your family and friends with can be done by any photographer. School contract photographers are good at what they do best, creating clean standard portraits that offer a consistent and concise look grouped on a yearbook page but the fact of the matter is that they are bound to do an enormous number of portraits in a limited amount of time where as the boutique photographer takes only a limited amount of sessions insuring that each student's portrait is as unique as they are. The average Senior class in the Phoenix Metro area is approximately 500 students and contract photographers are often committed to more than one school. By contrast, I limit my senior sessions to 25 or so per season, so that I can create portraits that truly reflect what's important to your teenager at this transitional and exciting time of life.<br />

<br /><br />Every Senior deserves a good yearbook photo...and a one of a kind experience that's as individual as they are...take a look at the expanded sessions the contract photographer offers along with samples of that work and if you like it by all means one stop shop...but if you are looking for something different remember that you can have more than one photographer to save these particular memories.<br /><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37841257.post-34338915291142352272014-12-25T16:39:00.000-07:002015-02-13T16:39:59.559-07:00Happy Holidays From Marcia The Art Of Photography<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

There are practical gifts and then there are the meaningful ones. That pivotal piece in a collector's dreams, that special necklace she's been dropping hints about, the memories that make a house a home...and nothing captures a memory than bringing the family together for a portrait that not only decorates the home but stops time right in it's tracks.<br />
<br />
In this age of cell phone captures the artistry of the formal portrait is often forgotten, but set in the premiere placing of the home it can become the focal point that is most beloved.<br /><br />Gifting portraits does not have to be pricey. While parents will certainly want a current wall art canvas, other family members will love having an 11x14 or even 8x10 mantel piece. 5x7 Holiday Cards with your favorite family photo printed bleed edge style fits perfectly in a standard frame for your friends to enjoy all year around.<br />
<br />
Giving portraits doesn't have to break the bank, but like the old saying goes...they're priceless.<br />

They say that if you take three witnesses of a car accident and interview them, each one will have a completely different vision of the incident, a different reality for what they saw. When I am not photographing the family experience I love to show the world how it looks through my eyes. Whether a street scene, a landscape, wildlife or abstract, we all have a unique vision. <br /><br />This street scene was taken in New Orleans, a city known for spirits :) Beautiful ghosts or just mannequins in a storefront...you decide. I only know that it intrigued me enough to photograph it and share it with you.<br /><br />Want to see more of my fine art images?

Yep, that's me. A semi self portrait shot at South Rim, Grand Canyon. Semi because I set up the shot and said when I get out there point left or right to make sure I am directly under the rain storm in the distance and please click the shutter :) <br /><br />Those that know me know that as passionate as I am about photography, I am also about hiking and the outdoors and my spirituality.

One of the things I love to do most is work with artists, actors, musicians, creatives of all genres. This is one of my best friends and favorite singer/songwriters, David Sheehy. His EP needed a special image...rough, gritty, a testament to the title song, "Let Go". We traveled alleys and sidestreets looking for a perfect wall to watch the traffic go by and created this. A perfect pairing for a Rock Star album cover.<br />

The intimate wedding, 50th Anniversaries, Vow Renewals. There is a special beauty to small family gatherings that I enjoy being a part of. Often traditional coverages are too big for these intimate affairs. These special needs are now accommodated by our newest package, Affinity. Shorter coverages, special album options all available at a very special price.<br />

We all have pictures on our phones, in our computers of our family but how many do you have where the whole family, INCLUDING you are together in that same image? The family portrait has long been the symbol of personal and family history, showing the development of the family, the culture and times of the day. As much as it is a record of the generations the family portrait has been a possession of prestige holding a place of honor in the home. Today family portraits can be done anywhere, from the convenience of a studio to exotic vacation destinations. Typically, in our arid Phoenix summers, I enjoy not only photographing my family clients not only in the fields and washes of the valley, but day-tripping with them to Sedona and the cooler locations along The Rim. Consider combining the joy of taking your family to the cooler temps of Northern Arizona for a long weekend and inviting your favorite photographer along for the ride...ME!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37841257.post-20014661164997768412014-05-12T08:29:00.000-07:002014-05-12T08:29:00.209-07:00Definitive Marcia ~~ Baby, Oh Baby!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They grow so fast...first a little bundle of cries, burbles and laughs, the next running, screeches, simple jokes and big giggles. Snapshots can sometimes catch a moment but for the moment between the moments only a concentrated portrait session will do. An outdoor portrait session will give you the variance in backgrounds to accommodate any decor...believe it or not while this portrait looks like an in-studio photograph it was in fact shot in front of a tinted glass door! And she loved playing with the glass and stone mosaic entryway in front of it. A very little girl, a moment between the moments, who could ask for more!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37841257.post-25038319571936775172014-04-14T08:28:00.000-07:002014-04-14T08:28:00.521-07:00Definitive Marcia ~~ Puppy Love<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The bond between man and dog is immeasurable and for many of us our dogs are our children, too. When we bring a dog into our home we offer shelter and care and in return receive unconditional love. The definitive dog portrait has been a part of homes for eons, showing up in Estates, Hunting Lodges, and homes throughout history. Why? Because the family dog is indeed a beloved member of the family. A portrait of your dog is not only a valued momento of a part of your family that is here and gone all too soon but an incredible and very personal piece of art.

Pictures portray the person, portraits tell a story. And within that story is art. Not every portrait needs to show the face. Sometimes the most precious of images is the one that shows a moment that will never be there again, the soft roundness of a newborn's toes that so soon will lengthen and lean out to first toddle then run. A moment captured becomes art for the heart.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37841257.post-62539069488585829642014-02-10T08:21:00.000-07:002014-02-10T08:21:00.426-07:00Definitive Marcia ~~ The Mommy To Be<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There are rites of passage in a woman's life and none more powerful than when she gives life. Snapshots in mirrors showing the progress of a growing belly abound on Facebook and other social media sites but none are more beautiful than when your pregnancy is a depiction of art. A co-creation between photographer and mother can produce images that tell the story of life and create an heirloom for the unborn child. The Maternity Portrait is not only the capture of a moment in the mother's journey, but baby's very first portrait, too.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37841257.post-26784047166408256002014-01-20T07:00:00.000-07:002014-01-20T07:00:15.144-07:00Definitive Marcia ~ The WeddingIn every wedding there are the moments between the moments...that images that surprise you, the ordinary seconds that become more than a moment captured, they transmute into art. I believe that every wedding album should have these, images that define that day in a way that no ordinary picture can. This is such an image...taken as the couple walked away at the end of their portrait session, walking into the rest of their lives.<br />

What is a head shot? At it's most basic a picture taken from the neck up, a clear representation of a person, perhaps non-descript, perhaps something more...if you think about it, your driver's license is a head shot, and for most of us not how we would like to be remenbered. <br /><br />At it's best, your head shot says this is who I am, what I am, where I am at this moment in time. It defines you to the world and sells you to your audience, It is often your first impression to a director, a rep, a client. How do you want to be seen for the very first time?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37841257.post-47446974712706586362014-01-05T10:13:00.000-07:002014-01-05T10:13:02.748-07:00Save On Head Shots And More!

This past year I created a portfolio of images for Ron Matthews, a Singer/Songwriter based in Nashville who toured Arizona. This morning I saw that one of his classic songs, Doing Time In Nashville has been produced as a video, featuring images I created of him near Mayer, AZ. I'm pleased to be able to share this with you today.<br />

I love how the softness
of the light caresses their faces and lights up their eyes, and
summertime in Arizona is made for these beautiful indoor portraits.<br />
<br />
As
I write this, the temps are predicted to hit 111º today and it's comfy
cool in my gallery where I set up a mini studio for the tiny ones so I
thought "Why not a Summer Sales Event?" From now until August 31st, 30
minute mini-sessions $49 with fabulous savings on print packages, too. A beautiful way
to decorate your home with the most beautiful art you've ever created,
your baby.<br />

After all, it's just a pic for your business card, to slap onto FaceBook, right? Better think again.<br />
<br />
Those in the entertainment industry have long known the value of a dynamic headshot, one that gives a glimpse into your personality, one that says "this is me, this is who I am" in the space of a moment. Take a spin through your newsfeed and see which profile pics catch your eye, good and bad...more importantly, which do you not even notice? In this media hungry world you have approximately 5 seconds to make a good impression and your first impression is more often these days your headshot, so doesn't it only make sense to consider it one of your most important marketing investments?
What makes a fantastic Headshot? Great lighting, dynamic facial angles, and most importantly capturing insight into the personality of the subject. By contrast, a mediocre picture will have static posing, dull lighting, a boring background and most importantly will fall short of that special something that causes the viewer to connect with you...and isn't that just the worst thing that could happen?<br />
<br />
I had an interesting conversation with a client yesterday. She relayed that the most common comment that she had so far received on her new headshots was that the photographer really captured "her spark". Then she confided to me that she had photos done about a year and a half ago that she didn't even use...they just didn't work for her. I felt good that I had given her such a good experience and product and bad at the same time that she had a less than happy experience elsewhere.
It makes me wonder...when is too much, too much? When you go for the deal and then get less than you paid for? Or when you make the investment and end up with a personality portrait that makes people stop and say WOW!<br />
<br />
