Happy Friday! It's been a long week and finally had the chance to edit this photo we took of Samantha Frahn  this past weekend !!   More images just around the corner.  But in the mean time..... Don’t forget this weekend is Spring forward! We lose an hour of our day! Saturday night/Sunday early morning at about 2am set your clocks forward 1 hour. So now that you know you’re losing an hour, do you know why?? And other interesting things about Daylight Saving Time! DST first used in Germany US inventor and politician Benjamin Franklin first proposed the concept of DST in 1784, but  modern Daylight Saving Time first saw the light of day, in 1895 when an entomologist from New Zealand, George Vernon Hudson, presented a proposal for a two-hour daylight saving shift. However,  Germany was the first country to implement DST on April 30, 1916 when the clocks were set forward at 11 pm. Though often referred to as daylight savings time (the...

Today we had the honor of photographing another outstanding dancer.  We love headshot sessions because each person has different qualities and talents. We find it so exciting to capture their unique characteristics and personalities! Some exude great confidence, while others are a little timid and unsure of themselves. However, we can honestly say, that we take great pride in bringing out their "inner model". Those who come in unsure and unconfident, leave with a greater understanding of their own body language and facial expressions- therefore, confidence!  Clients who come to us with confidence also leave with a greater understanding of how their personality translates to photos. When the client can finish their session with too many photos to choose from- we feel great!  Confidence is key to having a great audition submission. You want to stand out from the rest and make the casting director want to find you during the audition process! You also want to go...

We sincerely hope your 2015 has started out with happiness, health & progress towards your goals!  But don’t despair if you have not stayed on the path towards those goals whatever they may be!  Many of us put too much pressure on ourselves to start something new on January 1st of the new year. Quite honestly it can be too much pressure to put that date as the only day you can start a new beginning.  We are now into the first week of February and if you have not stayed on track or even started- don’t worry! Every day is a new day! You don’t have to wait for morning, or Monday or the next month- just start! Live your life by the hour if you must! For example, maybe you ate a donut for breakfast (again) and you feel as if you ruined your diet already. Forget that mentality! This is a new hour! You can still choose to eat healthy foods:) Maybe you plan to write a novel, a movie, become an actor, singer, etc. Any day you start is the perfect day!  Are you ...

It's a great Monday following a busy and productive weekend! We are looking forward to sharing the final product on two concept videos we filmed.  The bonus to being a photographer & videographer is working with such exceptional talent! Capturing the essence of the dancers is easy when they work as hard as everyone did!  Each concept video was unique in it's own way, which makes for a full day of collaborations, ideas, angles & thinking outside the box.  Each director/artists has a vision they need brought to life.  Notice I didn't say "want brought to life".  I say need, because if you're an artist in any sense, you completely understand that what's in your head "needs" to come to fruition or it's highly frustrating! Working together we found transitions that worked, movements that come to life on film & angles to capture what the director had in mind.  Again, it was a weekend of productivity and greatness for all involved.  ...

Good afternoon! I hope you're all having a wonderful Tuesday- we are!  I've been working for several years taking headshots for clients.  Some are seeking to be actors or dancers while others are in pursuit of modeling. Not matter what type of industry you are trying to get into, your headshot is *the* way to open doors!  When you book a headshot session with us, we will provide you with detailed information about what you can expect & what you'll need to wear (in the near future, we will also be posting some info on our blog for you:)  Today's post however is about the other most frequently asked question we receive---"do you know of any agents I could submit to?":)  So here is a list of some local agents recommended by SAG (Screen Actors Guild). These are professional agents who don't get paid unless you do!

A big Thank You goes out to Kingdom Church , here in Orlando FL, for having Studio One perform for their youth program.  They were super supportive and we certainly felt their enthusiasm!!!

What a great week in Las Vegas!!!  Studio One, led by Julie Johnson,  placed 3rd in the HHI USA competition which earned them a place to compete against 48 other countries in International competition.  Staying true to their beliefs and unique style, they WOWED the audience and received a standing ovation in the Preliminary round!!  Scores showed them at 7.27 with a -1.0 deduction for implementing "dangerous" tricks. A raw score of 8.27 would have brought them into 7th place and into the World Semi-Finals.  The team knew what it meant to perform their original routine and showed the world what they were made of.  Congratulations Studio One!!!  We are all proud of you!!

The high schools in attendance were: Freedom, Cypress Creek, Timber Creek & of course East River:) What a special treat it was as we hadn't had the opportunity to attend a Winterguard performance!  The guards in attendance all had special skills and talents that they shared with us!  It's truly amazing what they can do with flags & rifles! The friends & family preview show was in preparation for their shows the next day at the Regional UCF WGI event . Please enjoy the photos & congratulations to everyone!
