I have been President and then Chairman of the Board for the professional organization, Professional Photographers of Mississippi/Alabama. In December we had a splendid time in Pigeon Forge.<br><br>
I recently was asked by the publisher of Good Life Magazine, in Marshall County, to photograph the wonderful home in The Reserve, an exclusive, beautiful area, rising above the lake, with wonderful views. I used to photograph the homes for the Marshall County Event Magazine in the five years that magazine was published. I so much enjoy that! I can't post photos until it's published though.<br><br>
During the pandemic, there wasn't as much to do, so I took the opportunity to ride my motorcycle, an Indian Scout Sixty. I was able to go up to Mount Rushmore, and see the Crazy Horse monument nearby. I enjoyed Hannibal, Missouri - I need to return there for the cave tour (think Tom Sawyer) and the German Chocolate Pie (yes, pie, not cake! It's the most melt-in-my-mouth pie I've ever had!monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09453222363277719773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273063205813358654.post-38860542950733702342018-04-23T22:55:00.000-07:002018-04-23T22:55:31.396-07:00Celebrating 30 Years - Open House - April 28, 2018 2-5pmAfter about ten years of avid amateur photography and about eight years of developing b/w and taking professional classes, I finally got my first business license in California in April of 1988. Then we moved to Huntsville for several years. We have been in Guntersville for 15 years.<br />
<br />
To celebrate we are having an open house at the studio, Saturday April 28, 2-5 pm.<br />
713 Blount Ave<br />
Guntersville, AL<br />
256-582-9860<br />
<br />
Through the rest of April we have some exciting opportunities<br />
Do you need a headshot for business? $30 (usually $125)<br />
Do you want a half-session? $30<br />
Get an 8x8-inch portrait mounted on artboard with a beveled edge for $30<br />
(can be from a half-session this month or a previous session)<br />
<br />
<br />
Additionally, through the end of April 2018, double the amount of your purchasing power.<br />
If you pay $50 for instance, you receive a certificate good for $100 (not available with any other offer).<br />
<br />
See you Saturday!!!monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09453222363277719773noreply@blogger.com0713 Blount Ave, Guntersville, AL 35976, USA34.3545357 -86.29513759999997534.3543307 -86.295452599999976 34.3547407 -86.294822599999975tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273063205813358654.post-69590646731213814712018-04-23T22:41:00.002-07:002018-04-23T22:41:47.445-07:00Certified Professional PhotographerSo it's been such a long while since I have updated this blog. Lots has happened! I have been Secretary/Treasurer of the Professional Photographers of Mississippi/Alabama, and this year (2018) I am Vice President of this organization, beginning to plan for next year as my Presidential year. <br />
<br />
I have been recertified for another three years as of November 2017. Continuing Education is primary to keep the certification, which shows my competence and artistry in photography. My how things have changed since I was first certified in 1999. I was using film then, also developing, printing, and framing my own b/w art photos. I went digital in 2002, for a while using two cameras at the same time, switching often; one film camera, one digital camera.<br />
<br />
As a professional photographer for 30 years now, I still keep learning.monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09453222363277719773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273063205813358654.post-17678487080210873312016-05-05T01:31:00.000-07:002016-05-05T01:31:26.961-07:00Macy Patterson, Guntersville High School Class of 2016<iframe id="vp1R54Ym" title="Video Player" width="432" height="243" frameborder="0" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/embed.animoto.com/play.html?w=swf/production/vp1&e=1462437014&f=R54YmFJBBO3172rki37u2g&d=0&m=p&r=360p+720p&volume=100&start_res=360p&i=m&asset_domain=s3-p.animoto.com&animoto_domain=animoto.com&options=" allowfullscreen></iframe>monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09453222363277719773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273063205813358654.post-22450526856886009762016-05-05T01:22:00.001-07:002016-05-05T01:26:37.509-07:00Chloe Elizabeth Carroll, Guntersville High School Class of 2016<iframe id="vp1UjVuG" title="Video Player" width="432" height="243" frameborder="0" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/embed.animoto.com/play.html?w=swf/production/vp1&e=1462436552&f=UjVuGzKeSG0E4zWw1J80jA&d=0&m=p&r=360p+480p+720p&volume=100&start_res=360p&i=m&asset_domain=s3-p.animoto.com&animoto_domain=animoto.com&options=" allowfullscreen></iframe>monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09453222363277719773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273063205813358654.post-73898202809067251282011-09-17T21:38:00.000-07:002011-09-17T21:38:16.855-07:00A couple of photos of Blake Brock<br />

Since Event Magazine of Marshall County started, they have used my services for the commercial features: architectural of a featured home, and commercial of a featured business. <br /><br />Today's post shows the recently featured house, in Guntersville, on the Lake which was formed by Guntersville Dam across the Tennessee River in the '30s. This home was built to have a feel like Telluride, Colorado. Natural stone, and timber. Beautiful warm feeling. The Great Room is the full two-stories tall. And the owners are delightful.monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09453222363277719773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273063205813358654.post-58181978444637422002010-07-24T13:11:00.000-07:002010-07-24T13:14:24.742-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpxu9-_3N9getcDLsxvTBzyEjdN0uJh-SSVNuK79wD9XzZjy14esouwVsnPDYv9OSli3FPnU_V1iR4AWrtmSFDztQJl8HL4fRkeFiN-V6Wuzf1XHWF0uF49xoGuzR0z-MpePI-YO6xaB8/s1600/Item_0001FB.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 160px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpxu9-_3N9getcDLsxvTBzyEjdN0uJh-SSVNuK79wD9XzZjy14esouwVsnPDYv9OSli3FPnU_V1iR4AWrtmSFDztQJl8HL4fRkeFiN-V6Wuzf1XHWF0uF49xoGuzR0z-MpePI-YO6xaB8/s320/Item_0001FB.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497568434582396146" /></a><br />Rebekah's Senior Portrait session included music!

She is the oldest of four girls who all play string instruments; symphonic, Celtic, all kinds. Very talented. It was a fun session because she provided the music, and it was beautiful! <br /><br />And Rebekah is beautiful! This session was in the studio. The request was for classic images.

Up till 2 years ago, the judge was allowed to mull over his choices by himself, after everyone saw the entire submissions. However, now they have the judge do it 'live' and want to *hear* what is said. Well, I talk to myself a lot, and people in the back couldn't hear me, so I said how it *used to be* and apparently with enough humor that everyone laughed and then I was louder.<br /><br />There are a lot of people who want to learn and are sponges when told things that will help. Then there are those who only want to be told they did good and make excuses for why they brought what they did, because they didn't have time to work on it. Fortunately, most of the people who wanted to know why I did or didn't choose something were the type who want to learn. Mostly I was able to discuss how it didn't fit the subject of the competition as well as others. (There were a couple of extremely stunning photos which I didn't think fit in the subject.) Some photos could benefit by cropping, to emphasize what the subject is supposed to be.<br /><br />Apparently I gave more feedback than most judges. Some people remembered a program I gave on portraiture a couple of years ago; some people would like a workshop... Perhaps I will be able to oblige.monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09453222363277719773noreply@blogger.com0
