Family Sessions

Family Sessions 1

Last weekend was all about Family and the Love a Family shares with each other. Timber Creek was so honored to create Art for the family home. It's all about the activities that these families share with each other. Beautiful days walking in the woods, and sharing those moments between a father/mother and his/her daughter and or son.

 Gary and Taylor Gray started this beautiful weekend off with a walk on their hunting property that is Gary and his Dad's, thus Grandpa's Palace. Of course Taylor rocked her outfit for the session as always. We hiked all around and took in the breathe taking views of Juneau County while talking about the upcoming deer season. I only hope that this tradition continues as Taylor is a Senior this year. I will blog about her Senior Session along with others in the weeks to come.

Family Photography featured at Adventure Night

Adventure Night - Mauston

Many people in the community know what Adventure Night is, but those of you that don't, it is a night to raise funds for the Wrestling Club. There are 300 door prizes and chances to purchase tickets on wonderful prizes that have been donated or purchased. I was amazed at the number of guns given out this year (remember, this is prime hunting in this area). The organizers put countless hours into this event and I personally would like to thank them for all their hard work.

Last year I offered a deal for them to raise money and 3 people donated and received a wonderful gift certificate for a session and money towards their purchase. Of the 3 The Thayers, yes our local jewelry store purchased one certificate. Their goal was to have ALL the grand kids together in one image. Mission accomplished, and now they have a beautiful canvas on their wall to cherish.

The Miller family took advantage of this certificate, as Taylor was going off to school this fall, and it had been years since they'd had a family portrait. Taylor and Teagen were my entertainment that day, way fun. But the neat part was the car image that Andrea brought with, so we replicated that today, but with their 2 kids. They are a hunting family, and well Andrea hunts for mushrooms. So thus why we had to have an image with guns. They will soon have a large family portrait for their home to cherish forever. 

This year I brought along one of Justin Dolata's senior images that I had enhanced and that he had never seen until after the State Wrestling Tournament in January. So, I thought, how can I give back and help the club some more? Have him autograph it and auction it off towards a scholarship. It ended up bringing around $300, which was an awesome deal. It will now make it's home in the Mauston High School.

Class of 2015 Reps

Rebekah "Bekah" Cleaver is a Timber Creek Rep from Elroy's Royall Panthers. One of her hobbies is volleyball and she hopes to play collage volleyball as well while working towards her dream job of being a teacher. Her favorite candy is Twix and soda is Dr. Pepper (of which the day of her session I had none!) I did make it up to her when she came in to view her images. A few random facts about Bekah is that she has been the same height since 6th grade, she can't live without her dog (Buddy), she would love to meet Taylor Swift (me too) and her friends describe her as crazy and loud. I had such a great time spending an afternoon with her and her family, great people and a beautiful area of Juneau County.

Performing Hearts Dance

What can I say about Performing Hearts Dance Studio from Wisconsin Dells other than Amazing!

Ally and Cally have orchestrated so many wonderful groups for the upcoming performance to be held at the CAL Center in Reedsburg this weekend, June 6 and 7. Check out their website or facebook page for all the details.

But, I couldn't resist posting one of my favorites, being the 3 and 4 year olds. Lets just say, I was so impressed with these little ones.

Hunting for A Senior Photographer Pt 5

Take a Survey

This may seem like an odd tip, but the point is to look for photographers who want to know about YOU. Some may give you an actual survey to fill out, others may simply ask questions about your likes and dislikes. Their goal is the same, though: to make your photos reflect you.

For example, one photographic team has a survey for their senior clients to complete before their sessions. Once they have a sense of who you are, they adapt your photo session accordingly (like playing your favorite music). And while Beth Forester, M.Photog.Cr., CPP, of Forester Photography in Madison, W.Va doesn’t have her senior clients fill out a survey, she does ask questions…questions you may not expect. “If I’m thinking about doing a barefoot picture, I always ask, ‘Do you like your feet or not?’ If you don’t like your feet, that’s all you will focus on when you see the picture,” notes Beth.

When you book a Session at Timber Creek Photography we ask you all sorts of questions about you and what you desire from your session. Be prepared to answer questions about the sports you play, whether you are a country or city person, and what type of "feel" you want from your session (fashion, sweet, edgy...). These kinds of questions show that the photographer really cares about what you want, and that care will show in your senior pictures.

In addition, be prepared to ask questions of us! A Senior once apologized five times during a phone conversation for asking "too many questions." There is no such thing as too many questions. How will you be comfortable with us if you do not have the answers you need?

Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for more steps on Hunting for your Senior Photographer!!!
