It's Just the Beginning! $1000 Scholarship

It's Just The Beginning!  $1000 Scholarship Offer

WHERE - Hardgrave Photography

WHY - First, we are big believers in furthering our own education when it comes to our craft.  Second, we wanted a chance to give back to the seniors that trust our studio to create wonderful senior pictures.  Third, our own daughter is graduating in 2012, so we have been in the scholarship hunt and know that a $1000 will help someone out a lot with college expenses.

WHO - 2012 Graduates

HOW - Just buy a Senior Portrait Collection (or equivalent), and every image from your purchase will be put into a drawing for the $1000 Scholarship to any college or trade school you attend.

WHEN - The drawing will be held January 1, 2012  by a law firm.

The Mayan Calendar is not predicting the end of the world 2012, but the start of a new era. It is definitely going to be a new era in the lives of our seniors graduating in 2012 and going on to start their adult lives. It's just the beginning..

Spring Break Next week

I am so excited about the Senior Spring Fling next week!  I spent the day yesterday mowing, and cleaning up leaves and shooting areas for outdoor sessions. Tomorrow is my "Lowes" day so I can get the paints, new props, and a start on some new outdoor sets.

This morning was spent playing with my teddy bear, umm, well at least trying to perfect a new lighting technique. So if you drove by and saw me outside photographing Teddy, don't worry, I haven't turned into an exclusive professional Teddy Bear photographer - he is just very patient with me as I figure out how to do new things with my new gadgets.

Babes in the Buttercups April 19-23

Last year I decided to get some prints together for Arkansas Professional Photographer's Association's print competition. The buttercup fields were out and every time I went down the road they seemed to catch my attention like never before, so I put out a call for 3 yo little girls that could fit into the white dresses I had found earlier.  Several little girls met me early one morning in the wet fields so I could get just the image I needed... plus lots more.
The plus lots more has inspired me to offer this setting again this year for little girls and boys the week before Easter. Classic little girl Easter dresses and precious little boy outfits would look great as well as simple simple simple white outfits (my favorite). I also am excited to photograph a few with Mommies in simple white dresses with their babes.  These sessions are best for kiddos at least one year old.
Below is the image that earned me a merit at the competition.
