I am looking for 2014/15 Seniors for a photography contest. I will be shooting this Sunday. The contest is being run by Senior Style Magazine. This is the link outlining what they are looking for. Seniors that participate will be given a CD of their photos for their time. I will be shooting all day if I can get enough seniors that are interested in possibly having their photos published in a national magazine. I am a professional photographer and have no issue if parents want to come out for the shoot.


The categories for the contest are:
Backlit

Urban

Studio

Glam (think prom, beautiful, elegant dresses)

BW

Country Chic

Details (awesome accessories up close in your image)

Group Sessions (2 or more people in the photo)

If you know any seniors that may be interested please contact me as soon as possible so I can get my schedule setup.

Thanks,

Damien

I just setup a training class on 5/19 from 2-5 pm called "Getting to know your camera". This is a great opportunity to learn how to get you camera out of automatic mode! http://www.meetup.com/Roswell-Portrait-Photographers/events/119140952/
Just posted a new blog entry in mikienphotography.com. http://mikienphotography.com/blog/2013/4/20/have-you-looked-into-a-doula Check it out if you get a moment.
Great article.
Sehr schönes Foto. Das sind Fotos die ich mag.
Any from the wedding yet?
Well we are 16 days away from our trip to Europe. We arrive in Paris on 9/26. We will be driving from Paris to Bremen. If anyone has any suggestions about places to shoot that are off the beaten track, I would love your feedback.

Thanks,

Happy New Year from Mikien Photography!
Well we are heading to Bartow County tomorrow to scout out locations for our contest shoot next weekend with the Roswell Photographic Society. We won't know what the 5 categories are until Saturday morning, but this scouting adventure will hopefully give us insight the Zones (ag zones, industrial zones, business zones, etc) so that when we do get the categories we will know the best places to go. If anyone is familiar with Bartow County and can share some cool places to shoot please let us know.

The categories are very abstract.

In 2008 the categories were:
The Color Blue
Doorway
Patterns
Sign
Trio

in 2009 the Categories were:
Architectural Details
Solid
Support
Circle
Stone

and in 2010 the Categories were:
Close Up Nature
What's The Point
Silhouettes
Still Water
Squares and Rectangles

Who knows what the categories will be, but knowing the lay of the land will definately help us out.

Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the link to the photos from previous years: http://www.northgeorgiacameraclubcouncil.org/photo/index.php?folder=/Shootouts/

I will be taking photos at the Ride For Heroes on 5/7. I will have a printer on site to do 8x10's. If you want larger prints, metal or canvas will be able to order them and I will have them delivered to you after the event via UPS or Fedex.

Cost will be $20.00 for an 8x10 with 20% of each purchase being donated to Ride for Heroes.

You will have the option of having the Ride for Heroes logo in the corner of the print if you like.

The holidays are quickly approaching. Booking now for holiday card photos. Don't let time slip away.

Seasons change and as they do our children grow and change as well.

As parents we always endeavor to do the best for our children and our family. Family photographs are the best way to remember what was. Once our children grow out of a particular age that age is lost forever, photographs help keep this memories alive.

I am not talking about the canned staged photographs, but real photos that depict who and what our loved ones were at a particular moment in time.

I was talking about photography with a friend the other day and he mentioned a particular photo from his daughters wedding that was taken at during the father daughter dance. His favorite photo wasn't the canned photo of the wedding party it was a photo of the small of his daughter's back with his hand holding her with a sprig of baby breath. Why, because looking at that photo takes him back to that moment and allows him to relive that emotion.

This is the kind of artist I strive to be.

Everyone has school photos to see the physical growth of our children. What not everyone has are professional photos that tell the story of who our children are and later were inside.

A scraped knee can hold a boat load of memories. Don't let your memories slip away. Schedule a session with Mikien Photography today!

We are currently offering a special on Canvas Prints as well as a new season pass up to 4 sessions as year on call to capture the moments of your life. The season pass is billed monthly and includes both the photo session charge and prints (Additional prints can be purchased outside of the include package.)

We offer a 100% money back guarantee for our work so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Schedule an appointment today!

Don't let your moments slip away.

Live, Laugh and never forget with Photographs!

Maternity Photos

New model call! Since I am narrowing the target focus of my photography business to Maternity through year 5, my new request is for moms and dads in their third trimester. If you have been thinking about photos but just don’t think you feel like it is worth the investment or that you don’t want memories of when you were felt less than petite, this is the perfect opportunity.
I am looking for YOU! I will offer you full resolution images in trade for use of your photos on my website and in my advertising. This is a perfect opportunity to feel beautiful for the day in a safe environment, capturing those precious memories before the big day.
These photos will give you the opportunity to show you child the love that you felt for him/her before they even took their first breath.
I have assembled a pinterest board that will give you some examples of my style. I don’t want to get the wrong impression or make you think I am trying to take credit for other amazing photographer’s images so I want to clearly state that these images are not mine they are just pins to show you what I would like to offer you in your free session.
Contact me as soon as possible if you are interested.
Thanks,
Damien Silveira
