Spring is ALMOST here!!

moonshadowstudio — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 23:43:41 +0000

Our next wedding isn’t until April 24th, so we are keeping busy with baby portraits and pinups until weddings take over! Now’s the time to bring the family in! We’re offering a new package but only until May 1! It’s affordable and will make a great surprise for Mother’s or Father’s Day!

Spring Surprise Package:

45 minutes of studio photography, with 12-20 retouched images presented a few days after your session.
$150 includes your session and 3-8×10′s or similarly sized prints
OR
$250 includes your session and 12-20 retouched images on CD w/ printing rights.

Make your appointment today to get on our schedule before it fills up!

And, if you can’t tell, we LOVE portrait season! Here are some of our favorites of late:

AND, while photographing people is our specialty, I am SO excited to be planning a trip out west with all of my gear to shoot among the redwoods of northern California. This has been a dream of mine for many years and it’s finally going to happen! I’m hoping to have a show just in time for the holidays. The only bad part is, it’s not until AUGUST which is now seeming to be FOREVER away… but with nearly 20 weddings on the 2010 calendar, I know it will fly by. Aubrey and I are reminded often of how lucky we are to have jobs that let us be creative and while 20 weddings is a WHOLE lot of work, it is work we love, so I know I’ll be in the peaceful, moss-covered forest of the redwoods before I know it….

One more thing: Check back soon for information about an upcoming class: Family Photography – From the Camera Store to the Family Vacation to the creation of Coffee-Table Books! Just email us at jen@moonshadowstudio.com to be put on the list to get more info on this class to be offered this spring.

Treasure Hunt

moonshadowstudio — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 20:00:31 +0000

Nothing puts a spring in our step like a shopping trip! And what better time to indulge in some must-needed relief from the winter-time blues than a little trip to our favorite antiques store. Treasure hunting is the ideal past-time for photographers like us. I cannot tell you how many times we’ve stopped at the little mom-and-pop stands by the side of the road looking for photographic treasures. We never know what fun props we’ll find hidden behind layers of gadgets, heirlooms and nostalgia, and today Jennifer hit the jack-pot. Among her loot was an old mizzou-gold bicycle (perfect for a whimsical engagement session), a roller skate case, and a child’s accordion! We can’t wait to get in the studio and start shooting with our new treasures….because nothing says “take my picture’ like a pair of small red boxing gloves.

The Day After…

moonshadowstudio — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:49:31 +0000

Well, it’s The Day After… the big wedding show, that is! Thanks to all the brides that stopped by to visit with us. We met so many girls with amazing wedding plans that we’d love to be a part of. 2010 is shaping up to be a great year for us!

That was our second show in two weeks, so we are busy getting the studio put back together today. Tomorrow we have a VERY special pin-up appointment (mums the word on that until after her guy gets the book!) Just a couple more weeks of the Valentine Pin-Up special, so let us know if you want to get on the calendar! Bring a couple of girlfriends and turn it into a party! It’s always a fun girls’ night out and that’s to say nothing of all the happy husbands out there…

Why choose Moonshadow Studio?

Time. Patience. Comfort. We understand that for some people, having your portrait or head shot created is right up there with a trip to the dentist when it comes to things you’d rather not do today. And we also understand that there may be a difference between your “real” smile and your “camera” smile. We make it our job to capture the REAL you to present to your future customers. After all, THAT’s the smile that will make a stranger want to become a customer or a client. To create a natural and confident set of images requires a relaxed appointment (not too short but not so long that you tire of being photographed) as well as good communication between us, the photographers and you, the subject. You’ll be able to see images as we shoot them so that you can let us know when we’re on the right track to what you have in mind. Let us create a set of friendly, professional, and inviting portraits for you to use on your website, print ads, business cards and social networking websites. If it’s been more than three years since your last business portrait, call Jennifer Roberts or email today to take advantage of Image Days at Moonshadow Studio.

We Have a Studio!!

moonshadowstudio — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 03:36:54 +0000

After seven years in business, Moonshadow Studio has opened a bricks and mortar studio! In the past, I have operated a travelling studio, setting up in my clients’ homes for their comfort and convenience. If you enjoyed that personal service, don’t worry, I will still be offering it. But with an expanding clientele and a growing amount of equipment and portrait props, I’m afraid my little travelling studio has outgrown our home and my car. Having a permanent space will give me more creative freedom, something that loyal clients need and deserve. when coming back year after year. My new home is in the newly developed North Village Artist Market, a John Ott development between Ernie’s Cafe and the new Wilson’s Total Fitness Center (still under construction) on East Walnut St.
