Weekend shoots 11/22-11/23

I had two great photoshoots this weekend with two beautiful families.

My Saturday shoot was with a family from our church (Catalyst Christian in Long Beach) and they have got two adorable little ones. Their son was extremely photogenic and loved the camera...he was anxious to be in just about every shot and had the cutest smile that makes his eyes squint up! Their daughter is beautiful and has some beautiful almond eyes...she was not excited whatsoever with this photoshoot in the beginning, but definitely warmed up to the camera in the end! Here's a few of my favorite shots from the day that I've edited so far:























My Sunday shoot was with my boss from work, his wife, his daughter, and their newborn son. They are a fantastic family who are all very kind and good-natured. Their daughter is so sweet and has the funniest knock knock jokes! :)

We went to Manhattan Beach as they recently moved from the east coast and they wanted to have some pictures of their daughter on both coasts to send to family. Unfortunately the area under the pier was extremely crowded with other photographers as this is a prime spot to do shoots, but we still managed to get a few good pics!

I haven't been able to edit too many of these pics yet, but here's a few of my favorites that I've picked out so far. :)

What can AJP do for you?

So here's my attempt at a cheesy sales pitch :)

Tired of the same 'ol holiday card every year?

Do you take a picture over to Target (or similar) every year and have them slap a red and green border around it and then send it out to your friends and family, only to get 30 cards back from everyone that look almost exactly like yours?

Looking for a special or unique way to say Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays this year?

Look no further than Avery James Photography for all your special announcement/greeting needs!

Whether you want simple, elegant, youthful, off the wall, or middle-of-the-road...I've got you covered!

Below are some samples of a few Christmas cards as well as a other announcements and invitations I have done in the past for my own personal use. You give me a theme or idea (or just let me run wild with it) and I'll put something together for you.

Price is $25 for the design, you get the digital copy and can take to your local printer to print as many as you need. I can also have them printed for you for an additional $5 plus the cost of prints.

Updated website!

I worked very hard this weekend on giving my front page website a bit more of an updated look...as well as updating some of the graphics on a couple of pages and updating my portfolio pictures as well. I'm very excited with the new version and along with my new lens I feel like I am entering a new chapter in my photography business, as well as my life business.

I'll leave you with a couple more photos I went through this weekend from a trip over the summer to Kid Concepts (one of the best places in the South Bay to take your younguns!)

Sooo excited :)

I got a new camera lens today!

My other one was just a stock lens and compared to the point and shoots I've had prior to, that one seemed like a million steps up....but now that I'm getting deeper into this photography business, I'm picking out the nuances much more commonly and have becomed more and more dissatisfied with my final products.

So I broke down today and decided to make the $700 investment in a single camera lens. Basically the same as the one I already have, but much better quality :)

I'm going to post a few to share with you the amazing powers of new equipment. :)
