I want one!

I am working on a new sign to hold out on RT 13... "WILL WORK FOR JETSKI". These pics were shot by Darryl, my friend and Dad to the groom in the previous post. I may be a little biased, but I think I look really cool in these shots. :)
Of course, I wouldn't post the ones where I have a totally goofy expression or way too intense look on my face. Unfortunately, that was the majority of them.

Lauren and Mike's Wedding in VA

Last week's wedding was a special one. Yes, they're all special, but this one was the wedding of my best friend's son. He was one of my earliest victims at the start of my portrait career. Sorry about that clown suit, Mike.

Here are a few of my favorites...now go watch the show.

Engagement session: Rebecca & Robert at Bellevue (Delaware)

Here we have the results of another fun e-session, this one at Bellevue State Park. Perfect weather, soon-to-be newlyweds in love, and plenty of great images to fill a guestbook. I've said it before, but I really enjoy engagement sessions. They provide a great opportunity for me to get to know my wedding clients before the big day. "E" sessions help me to make the transition from "the photographer" to just Lance.

Here are a few favorites, followed by a show. Enjoy!

Family Portraits at the park

Okay, not the whole family - we'll get mom and dad in there next time. This was my first time working with this family and I look forward to the next time. Great kids, totally into it - great images.

Jack, I know what it's like to have two older sisters - stay strong brother. :)

Print restoration in Delaware

Well, the title might seem a little odd, but it does pick up nicely in web searches.

Anyway, another restoration success story here. See below for before and after the magic!

Amy and Floyd's wedding at the Rehoboth Beach Country Club

What an awesome day! Exhausting...but awesome. Two people, very much in love, and enjoying every minute of their wedding day. I felt truly blessed to be a part.

If you click on their names in the post title, you can see their show. Go ahead...it's totally worth it.

Tub Time! Baby portraits

This session with Emerson didn't go as easy as previous times. In fact, it actually took three attempts before the payoff. We used all the noisemakers, snack breaks, sibling cheerleaders - the works. Whatever it takes!

I thought it would be cool to show the transition of the image.

-The first shot is pretty much straight out of the camera with just a little sharpening applied.

-The next, color is saturated overall, background is blurred a bit, loose flower petals are removed, and corners are darkened to draw attention to our bathing baby.

-Finally, color is altered to give the image a vintage feel, and an old fashioned mat is applied for a real retro feel.
