How To Find A Photographer

Friend Referrals: The best and most personal way to find a great photographer is through your friends who have been recently been married and love their photographer

Personal Style: Don’t just go off website and event planner’s lists. Make sure you actually like their style and have seen their work. We allow our clients to see all our work and encourage it

Meet in Person: Meeting your photographer in person allows you not only to see their work and their studio, but establish a relationship. You will be working very closely with them throughout the day and you don’t want someone who annoys you

Find them on popular wedding blogs: There are many amateur and professional online resources that can aid in finding a great photographer and inspiration. Check out The Knot and Wedding Wire

Read the photographers blog: This will not only showcase their work but give you insight into their personality. Many blogs also enable comments so you can get real reviews from people just like you!

Droid Retro Camera App

My wife and I took a trip into Manhattan this weekend and strolled through Central Park. These are some of the photos that I shot with my new HTC Incredible Droid phone. Smart phone cameras are almost on par with point and shoot cameras. The images were shot with a retro camera application and are completely untouched; no Photoshop adjustments were made. When I don’t want to bring my 10-pound Nikon D3 camera with me, I snap a quick photo with the Droid.

The Fresh Face of Portraits

For the new year LJ Studios is adding our own, new "Your Story Portraits" to our repertoire. Unlike traditional portrait photography, this new type of portraiture allows us to create images that express your unique personal style. Tell the story of who you are and what you love through photos tailored to you as an individual, couple or family. Let your passions tell the story: from musicians to mountain climbers, we will set up the photo shoot to incorporate your interests. Maybe you have a distinctive way of dressing or your child has a special stuffed animal they adore; we want to showcase whatever makes you uniquely you.

Mili, Dan and their dog Reggie came into the studio on Saturday morning for our first "Your Story Portrait" session, and we had a blast!

Call us now to schedule a "Your Story Portrait" session!

The New Age of Digital Black and White Prints

For years during the digital photography revolution, color photographic paper has been used to print Black and White images. This has been widely accepted as the norm for many photography studios in recent years. Printing Black and White images on color paper will never produce the the quality and tonality that true black and white paper will give us.

We have FINALLY found a lab that will print our digital black and white files on traditional black and white fiber-based paper! This provides us with the following when printing Black and White fine art prints:

No Tone Disruption- Produces a true continuous tone from shadows to highlight

No Color Variance- Blacks are 100% black, grays are fully gray, color shifts are non-existent

Longevity- Fiber-based black & white prints are proven to last over a hundred years.

Come on in to the Studio and take a look at the difference in our new Black and White Fine Art Prints.
