Did we photograph your Wedding?

   Ailor Photography has been out of the wedding photo business for several years now.   During the 10 years or so that we were photographing weddings we amassed a HUGE collection of negatives and digital files.  DID WE PHOTOGRAPH YOUR WEDDING?  If so....we would like to clear out some of our old files and negatives.  I DO NOT believe in throwing away or destroying negatives, but storage of these old events can be very difficult.  If you would like to have the ORIGINAL negatives or digital files (plus a copyright release) from your wedding, give us a call.  We are hoping to clear out as many as possible.  You can purchase the originals for $150 per wedding.  These originals are invaluable to you....give us a call today  765-429-7145.

The outdoor season will be ending soon! But until then...

Here are a couple of photos from yesterday.  It was a very good day for photos both indoor and out.  I had great clients who made taking their photos very easy.  I am still trying to push myself into a more "stylish", "Fashion Photography" kinda direction while still keeping a clean, nice portrait.  These are a few that I thought worked really well. 

This hasn't been the most colorful fall season, but we are still getting some great photos.  I am guessing that by the end of next week, most of the color will be gone.  I know I have several more outdoor sessions this week and next, so I hope to holds on. 

A very cool photograph.

I just wanted to make a quick post to show off this photo from yesterday.  It came out great.  Michael has really amazing bluegreen eyes that made every photo of him awesome, but this was my favorite.  I hope he likes it.

 

Michael's choice of clothes showed a distinct "Style" and that is what made his photographs great.  Everyone should use that information and choose clothes that emphasize your particular style.  As a photographer, I can then see that style and create images that help convey that. 
Anyway....great photo!

Holly

Well,  another great shoot with Holly.  A little while back we did some modeling shots for Holly and they came out great, so I was really excited that she is now in need of Senior Portraits.  Luckily...Holly is really open to experimentation and she really trusts me to create great images.  Here are just a few.  (not too sure about the quality of this video?)

My advice to everyone in need of senior photos is always the same.  Choose really great outfits that really 'Ramp up" your personal style.  Don't be afraid to take it to the extreme.  If you have ideas....let us know so we can work with you to create great images.   And last of all.....trust us to give you really cool images.  Remember....we gain nothing if you look bad.  So we are ALWAYS out to give you fantastic images.

A new direction???

Lately, I am feeling like my photography is going a new direction.  I want to do more "fashion" type images.  Images with a certain mood or style that fits the personality of the subject.  I want to do location photography with full studio light set-ups that really looks like the fashion shots you see in magazines.  I know how to do the photos,  I have the right equipment, now what I need are some Seniors or individuals who have a defined style that they want to show.   Someone who isn't looking for "more" photos, but it looking for "better" photos. 

I have been experimenting with more "stylized" photos here in the studio and on location lately.  I did this photo yesterday and think it is "more" than your typical senior portrait.  It says more...it has style...it reflects the personality of the subject.  What do you think?

Keep your eyes posted here, or our website (www.ailorphotography.com) toward the end of this year or the beginning of next as we start to offer more diverse exciting options for your portrait sittings.

Another cool one from this week!!!

I just had to post this photos because we thought it was really cool. I hope Chrissa likes it as much as we do. 

Some Photos from this week

Here are a few photos from this past week.  We have been VERY busy with Senior Portraits and Family Portraits.  Remember...if you would like portraits with the fall color, do NOT wait until the color is here to book your appointment....we will be full by then.  The fall is a beautiful time to do portraits outdoors, but the spots fill up quickly, call now to make your appointment.  Also it is a good time to start thinking about family portraits for Christmas!  The holiday season is coming fast!

Looking Through old photos...

I had a little free time this morning and I was looking through the photos from my trip to Ethiopia.  I found this photo and fell in love with it. 

I remember seeing this group of children leaning up against the wall and this little girls face just jumped out at me.  She was one of the few kids who was NOT clamoring for me to take her picture and that, in itself, made her stand out.  She has the most amazing eyes!  Anyway, just thought this photo was worth sharing.  maybe one of my favorite portraits of all time.  Simple, but it says it all.

Okay.....I'm biased

Admitted...I am biased, but these guys sure are cute.  My wife's parents, sister, brother-in-law and nephews were in town last week and it seemed a good opportunity to take some photos.  The first photo is of my son with his three cousins.  These boys are notoriously hard to photography, but this year they were super easy.  I think Simon was the most difficult (you can see his is the only one not smiling!)

This photo I just has to post because it is so cute.  Mason always looks good in a photo, but I usually have to chase him around to get it.   This time he did great and what a great photo.

Fashion Shoot for "Devoid and Deveil" designs

I have worked with the fashion designer, Chris, on an art project before.  He loved the work we did together so when it came time to start shooting his clothing line...he thought of me.  I am grateful to him for that as I have a lot of fun doing this type of imaging.  We have 3 pieces to photograph and we did the first two on Thursday and here are a couple of the early images. 

Hopefully we will be shooting the last look soon.  It is a purple and black outfit.  Chris would like it to be set in a moonlight forest and I think I can make that happen.  Look for that image here soon.
