Thoughts from Shawn

Thank you!

I want to take this time to thank all my clients of 2010! I really appreciate you allowing me to be a part of your lives this year. I know you will treasure the images you have and all the memories they bring back for the rest of your lives. I look forward to 2011 and hope to see each and every one.........Shawn

Long Time No See!

Oh my goodness! I hadn't realized how long it had been since I last posted on here. I have been using Facebook too much I guess.

So I have been doing a ton of high school seniors this summer and fall...here are some examples for you. Oh and it isn't too late to still get them done either. So if you don't like yours or you just haven't had them done yet just give me a call.

 

Easter!

Here are some Easter images I did with the Barton family. Hope you enjoy!

Ben and Ashley loved their Engagement session. We had so much fun and they act so happy with one another. Here are some of the images.

 
  

My Design Work

I posted this on facebook also but I will put it on here too. I ordered some stuff that I designed myself for the studio the other day. The photographic supply company that I order it throug called me and wanted to know if they could use my designed items in their catalog and at the tradeshows. He said they loved the design of the items and would love to show off my work an...d theirs. How cool is that!!! They deal with tons of photographers and they chose me!!! :o)

Oh by the way if you aren't a fan of Shawn Cummins Photography on Facebook you may want to go there and become a fan. I post contest and special....and FREE stuff too.

"Award Winning Photographer"

Plans for the weekend

This is the weekend of the convention where I will be featured on Sunday night. I have spent the whole day getting everything ready for my presentation......very excited. I will take pictures and post them for all my faithful bloggers.

Little Luke

I have been photographing this child since I first started photography. He was a cracker jack then and he is now. He is one of my most favorite children to photograph. You never know what in the world is going to roll out of his mouth. This time he kept me laughing. I just have to share this one with you all. I was posing him and so I was placing his feet in the correct positions and he looked at me and frowned at me and said "Hey Hey!!!"....."The box says FRAGILE". I thought I was going to die. That was the funniest thing. I wish I could have caught that on tape.

Then when he and his mom (Sara) came to choose there images....after watching their slide show...Sara said "how am I going to choose...I love them all" Luke said "I don't know but you better not waist my birthday money on them"  He is such a turd!!! LOL. I just love that child....you don't have to worry about what he is thinking.

Here are some of his images. Enjoy

 



 
 
   

Featured Star!!! lol

I wanted to share this with all my clients who have allowed me to be creative and let me do my thing. I couldn't have done this without you!!!

I was recently contacted by the President of a Professional Photographer Association who is a Master Photographer. She said she was so impressed with me and my work. She said she thought I could inspire others.  She would like to feature me as one of the up and coming "Stars" at the President's Reception during the convention at the end of the month. She said there will be a place set up for me to display my marketing pieces, products that I offer to my clients and my images so members can come up and ask me questions about what I do and how I do it. I am so thrilled...this is such a huge accomplishment for me.

She also ask me to send her a picture of me for the advertisement......I thought......I don't have a picture of me.....I take the pictures...so I am not in them.....so I had to take one...that was the hardest session I have ever done......bar none. I took 298 shots and only liked 2 of them!!! Do you know how hard it is to take a professional shot of yourself? Boy....I sure am glad I know photoshop!!! lol

When I get the advertisement I will post it on here for you all to see and I will have Jerome take some pictures during the convention so I can share them with all my wonderful clients who have inspired me to get better and better over the last 4 years.
