Ailor Photography will soon be closing it's doors as Mark starts his new career. While it is difficult to think about closing a business that I have put my heart and soul into for over 15 years, it is a happy time as I look forward to my nursing career. I have no regrets. </div><div class="MsoNormal"> To all of our loyal customers, business partners and friends, I would like to say "Thank you". Thank you for all of your support over the years. It is seeing you and your families that I will miss the most. For many of our clients, we have watched their families and children grow and helped them document every milestone along the way. Many of you ceased to be customers a long time ago and instead became friends. </div><div class="MsoNormal"> We will be "officially" closing our doors at the end of May. However, our hours for the month of May will be sporadic. We will not leave business unfinished!!! You can still order photos from us right up until our closing and you will be taken care of. After that, you will be able to continue to order photos from your past sittings by visiting Vince Walters' photography studio at 828 Main St (765-420-0955). He will be taking all of our old files etc. Please consider giving Vince a chance for your next family, child or senior portrait. He is an excellent photographer whose work I admire very much. </div><div class="MsoNormal"> If you have any questions about our closing, please feel free to contact me at mark@ailorphotography.com. If you happen to be downtown, please feel free to stop in and say goodbye...I would love to hear from you. </div><div class="MsoNormal">Thank you all.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Mark</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I met him while photographing the picture for this story and we talked a lot about Ethiopia. After working with me he went out of his way to contact me and ask if I would be interested in traveling to Ethiopia with them in May to photograph the work they are doing there. Of course I am thrilled and excited about the opportunity to go to Ethiopia again, but I am also thrilled to be a part of his amazing project. Check it out here:<br />

</a></div> I have mentioned on this blog many times that I am an adoptive parent. Ok...admitted...my son's photos have been featured on here A LOT! I can't help it, he's just too cute. Anyway, our son was adopted from Ethiopia in 2010. We were constantly looking for children's books etc. that were about adoption, or multiracial families etc. that would allow Simon to see that there are other kids out there like him. There were lots of books that were "generically" about adoption or so specific that they didn't match Simon's situation. So what did I decide to do??? Write my own. I am a decent artist, but my writing skills are marginal at best. Luckily, I had my wife and friends there to help use put together a children's book that is about Ethiopian adoption. It is called "Binyam's Big Trip".<br />

It was a fun project and I am thinking that I have one or two more stories in me. Hopefully, other families of adopted children will find this book as a way to start conversations with their children about their personal stories.Ailor Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16017812083862440416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346593314071768915.post-47189398609213447462012-01-18T07:06:00.000-08:002012-01-18T07:06:22.956-08:00Online Specials!Have you had photos taken at Ailor Photography in the past year AND chosen ONLINE PROOFING?????

It is like a ghost town. Luckily for me, I had a few families that saw today as an opportunity to get some photos taken. My first shoot of the day was a blast and a great way to start the day. It was a little cold, but we ventured outside anyway for a few and then back in the studio to warm up and shoot a few more. Cute Results!<br />

There just isn't any other time of year that photographs quite so beautifully. The colors of the leaves, the quality of the light and just that relief that comes with a little cooler weather all make it the perfect time of year for outdoor portraits. This year the fall color has lasted quite a while...which is nice. Here a a couple of outdoor shots from Happy Hollow Park that I took in the last week.<br />

Since we have had such incredible fall weather around here and the colors outside are just reaching their peak, I decided to do just that. My little guy was in need of some new portraits since he just turned 3 and we have a few great spots around our house where the color looks great as the sun is setting. He is not the easiest to get a real smile out of, but I managed a good one here. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4ODViGC7GsBMuSw35vRnCoEk63PL9-BjgpZxqcK3j0IVRasHb4Qg0E1Fkw0nmtp4e9H5GT0paLqVmKBZmFAnlfHveK7PAiN9mIfRvP2flb3G4IbWC9lf4K_H0AotBQ7j0KzsW86qLwkE/s1600/IMG_0190.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4ODViGC7GsBMuSw35vRnCoEk63PL9-BjgpZxqcK3j0IVRasHb4Qg0E1Fkw0nmtp4e9H5GT0paLqVmKBZmFAnlfHveK7PAiN9mIfRvP2flb3G4IbWC9lf4K_H0AotBQ7j0KzsW86qLwkE/s400/IMG_0190.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br />
My favorite photo was actually taken AFTER we were done. Simon was riding one of his toys in the driveway as the sun was going down. I saw the light and grabbed the camera back up for a shot. Glad I did. this one makes him look so innocent. <br />

First of all let me say that I miss my assistant, Dana. She moved away to Minnesota and left me here to do all the work by myself. She had worked for me for about 5 years and I guess I forgot how much she did. I am having fun though being the one in total control of the process. It is a lot more work for me, but being a control freak, I kinda like it. <br />

It was much cooler then it has been with low humidity and I nice partly cloudy sky. Perfect for outdoor photos. I had a little girl on the schedule for an outdoor sitting, and I was a bit worried. You see...she is a TINY little infant. At that age, they just don't "pose" for photos. I took a couple of baskets and blankets with me to the sitting and her parents brought a basket also. In this photo, I used my sheepskin as a blanket for her, but I turned it upside down so the "fuzz" of it wouldn't be in her face. I put it in the basket her mom brought. Through most of the sitting she was wide-eyed, alert and looking around, but I caught this one where it looks just like she is sleeping. I love it.Ailor Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16017812083862440416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346593314071768915.post-52895862685783731452011-08-24T09:21:00.000-07:002011-08-24T09:22:19.964-07:00The "never ending" fashion project continues I knew when I took these photos that they could possibly occupy me forever. I have so many good shots that are just wating to be dropped into scenes and there is an infinite number of scenes to choose from. This image was created by taking individual shots of the models and combining them into one scene. The idea is to keep a specific "theme" or "Style" throughout these images. I think I have managed to do that very well. What do you think???<br />

As many of you know, I am also a part-time student as well as a professional photographer. I am currently back in school pursuing a nursing degree. I hope to combine my photography degree and nursing degree to do some volunteer work and photography to accompany it. <br />
Due to my class schedule, that changes every semester, I will be re-configuring our hours accordingly. From now until January, our studio hours well be:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Monday....................closed</div><div style="text-align: center;">Tuesday.............2pm - 5pm</div><div style="text-align: center;">Wednesday......10am - 5pm</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thursday..........10am - 5pm</div><div style="text-align: center;">Friday..............10am - 5pm</div><div style="text-align: center;">Saturday .......9:30am - 2pm</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">As always, we will be doing a lot of outdoor and location photography so please CALL AHEAD any time you need to stop by to pick up orders, and proofs or to place an order. We hope that this will not be of any inconvenience to you.

Here is one that I really like.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1IYtK1Ze8bjUn4G8toGuX1M8QHakmB1yO6Fqkk-fVsJaQUBO6iofyA4orQeoIS2QZejvOjZr1rxBd1rLOtmRzAkC9VZ3-hlCA9YXudkdqaJQbXc6cS3DIz3dqog4YZ42WJicorNlLbhY/s1600/IMG_8468.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1IYtK1Ze8bjUn4G8toGuX1M8QHakmB1yO6Fqkk-fVsJaQUBO6iofyA4orQeoIS2QZejvOjZr1rxBd1rLOtmRzAkC9VZ3-hlCA9YXudkdqaJQbXc6cS3DIz3dqog4YZ42WJicorNlLbhY/s640/IMG_8468.jpg" width="425" /></a></div>I knew it would come out great as soon as I pushed the button. The model started laughing at herself and the poses she was doing and I caught something "real". I love it.Ailor Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16017812083862440416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346593314071768915.post-220801504646122172011-08-17T07:08:00.000-07:002011-08-17T07:09:23.434-07:00Shooting with Intention. We all know how great digital photography can be. We all realize the advantages it can give us. We can SEE the images right away and know if our subject blinked, we can see right away if our exposure is off, or if our lighting is not quite what we had hoped for. We can even go back later and "Photoshop" out elements in the photo (ie. power lines, background people etc). However, it has also been a major downfall in the quality of professional photography. Studies show that the quality of professional photography has dropped significantly since the onset of the digital age. Why? Simple....the cameras and Photoshop can do so much that it makes everyone who owns a camera think they are a professional. They shoot "okay (at best)" photos and "FIX" them later with Photoshop by changing exposures or running "cool" filters on the images to make it look like they meant to do it that way.<br />
Lately, I have been reading a lot from other REAL pros who are getting back into "Shooting with Intention". What does that mean? It means really taking your time to think through your lighting, your pose, your exposures, how you are relating to your subject and then taking a great photo in one or two shots. This shows the real skill of the photographer. The image doesn't need any weird "antique" or "high contrast" filters to make it look great. It simply is a great photograph. I LOVE this concept. I like to think that I have been doing this for years. Every photo I take should be able to stand on its own. If I do any digital work to it, it should not be to "fix" the image, but bring something to the image that only digital can.<br />
When I photograph someone, I may not shoot as many photos as some other "photographers", but that is because I know how to get it right the first time. Lately I have been having some of my best sittings ever and it is because I am truly shooting with intention. I KNOW what the final image will look like before I ever push the button on my camera.<br />
Here are a few photos from my last two sittings. The only digital work on these has been to retouch blemishes, vignetting (which could be done "in-camera" but not nearly as well) and make a couple of images black and white. Pure.<br />
<br />

Keep it simple....keep it elegant. Make sure your portraits are really about the person in them and not about your Photoshop filter collection.Ailor Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16017812083862440416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346593314071768915.post-61995682012078593332011-08-11T12:18:00.000-07:002011-08-11T12:18:06.862-07:00Some more recent Seniors!With the school year starting for some in less than a week, we have been very busy taking senior photos. With summer break ending, everyone is trying to get into the studio. We will be continuing to shoot senior photos even after the school year starts so don't panic if you can't get in this week or next. We have a lot of after-school and weekend appointments still available. <br />
Here are a couple of shots from yesterday and this morning that I am particularly fond of. They came out great. <br />

This was taken in the studio and I dropped in the scene later. The trick is to get the lighting and shadows just right to give the photo the correct realism. I think I got it pretty good on this one. <br />

This shoot was to feature his designs with a contemporary masquerade mask by <a href="http://effigymasks.com/index.html">Effigy Masks</a>. We had originally planned to work out on location, but decided that the heat would not work well with the make-up, hair and designs. So we worked exclusively in the studio on a "Green Screen". This really gives me the freedom to do what I want. I can create backgrounds, drop in real life backgrounds or whatever is necessary to get the look I want. Chris gave me complete creative freedom and I thank him for his trust. <br />
We got a lot of great shots, this is just one of the first ones I grabbed today to work with. <br />

We hadn't planned on photographing them together, but I talked them into it and I'm glad I did. This one is going to be a favorite.

I prefer to take a strong image to begin with that doesn't need to be worked on. I hate when photographers pass off bad quality images as "cool" when all they have done is photoshop them to death. HOWEVER! I have been playing lately with CS5's HDR adjustments. Very cool. We have also been using photoshop for a while to do a "fake" version of Infra red photography. I think both of these from yesterday's shoot, came out really cool!<br />

First of all let me say that "we love new customers'. We like to think that once someone comes to us for photos they will never look for another photographer again. Once they see the quality of our photographs and our prices...they will be back. <br />

Mom had some really fantastic ideas for outfits. My favorite one was a little "tutu" with no shirt and a giant bow in her hair. It was an outfit that was so "over the top" that I knew it would photograph great. The little girl had such amazing eyes that I wanted to really make those stand out also. I chose to use my softbox very close in and at a very low power in order to get her eyes to really stand out and to make the background go out of focus. It worked perfectly in this pose because the little tutu flared up behind her and gave just a touch of color in the background. Isn't she adorable!

Okay...I admit...it has been a while since I made a post on here. But finally I am back and ready to update everyone on some of the great work we have been doing lately. Seniors, Children, Families, you name it and we have been photographing it. <br />

Just yesterday I had a chance to do some senior photos in the studio and outdoor. IT WAS ALMOST 100 DEGREES OUT! I thought the senior was nuts for wanting to go ahead with the sitting, but in the end, he did great and we got some cool photos. He wanted to do some shots on the railroad tracks, and as many people know...this is not one of my favorite places. It has been done A LOT and I am a bit bored with it. So I decided that I needed to "up my game" a bit and get something cool. This is one of my favorite shots from his sitting (it is really more about him and the clouds than it is the tracks..).<br />
<br />
We also took some in the studio with his baseball uniform and came up with some nice images. Good lighting and lens choice really make this picture work. I ran a filter on it in photoshop that gave it that vintage look. I really like it.<br />
