Aspire Multimedia and Photography

Encore Performing Arts Studio owners, Nicki and Annie, have welcomed us into their dance family again this year and it was just as exciting as before! Our family was fortunate enough to spend the day capturing costume, dance & personality memories that will last for years to come. The owners, instructors, parents and dancers were so KIND! The dancers are polite and offer a helping hand as well as listen to their teachers and the photographer giving them direction! It's always with great anticipation we photograph these dancers each year. We look forward to seeing their growth in so many ways! Thank you Encore for the opportunity to share in your dancers' day and capture another fleeting moment in time!  Don't forget to Like us on Facebook and give us a positive review!

I had to share this before-after to demonstrate what can happen during a shoot. For some reason, the strobes did not fire. I knew I had a great shot as soon as I snapped it. But... when I went to the laptop and noticed a black image, I felt my stomach hit the ground! I missed it!!! Arrrgggggg &^%#$#!@@#$ After the shoot, I went and decided to visit this "dark" image and see what bumping up the exposure would reveal. I knew it... it WAS the look I was striving for with my son, Luke. I did ask him to get back in front of the camera for a quick re-take but as we both knew... it was a long shot so we just went on. Call me stubborn, but I just cranked all the settings to the max and performed some magic... the above AFTER photo. I'm pretty happy with it, and so is Luke. Big lesson for the day... shoot your images in RAW. You never know what spectacular image you would miss if you didn't.

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...

Proudly active Protege in Peter Hurley's HeadShot Crew Are you thinking of getting headshots? We certainly hope so! Here is some useful information to make sure you’re ready for your time in the spotlight!:) Headshots are your own personal branding, they will represent you at your best- the you that you want agents & your next employer to see! Headshots are all about your face! Your eyes are the first thing you want an agent and/ or casting director to notice, then your smile & other features. Thus, during your headshot session the focus is all on your face, our goal will be to depict you in various “characters” depending upon what role or roles you will be auditioning.  CLOTHING  Your attire needs to be clean & wrinkle free! Bring them on hangers to avoid wrinkles (yes t-shirts on hangers too:) We recommend you bring at least 3-4 solid colored tops with various necklines & tops of various styles for the session & place them on hangers to avoid ...
