Kelly MacDonald Photo + Design

Monday, February 7th, 2011

I’ve been in business for close to three years now and absolutely love what I do. I want to see it all and shoot it all. Most people believe you should specialize, narrow your field and find a niche but if I focus on children, I’ll miss weddings and if I specialize in weddings, I won’t get my baby fix and if I don’t deal with families, well then, I’m just missing out. So that said, I’ll take on whatever comes my way and give it my own twist.

What got you into wedding/portrait photography?
My camera, my kids and my curiosity.

What are your favorite types of subjects to shoot and why?
Anyone loving life, each other or having fun.

What is your favorite piece of photographic equipment?
A good lens – love my 50 1.2 and all those on my wish list.

What ProDPI products do you use?
LOVE ProDPI prints, press cards, mounted prints… haven’t found anything from ProDPI that I don’t love!

Are there any ProDPI products that have enabled your success?
The prints. They are just perfect – spot on and I know when I place an order that they will arrive exactly how I expect them to. I need this kind of confidence in my supplier, in order to have confidence in myself and my work.

Sarah Field Photography

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

The best advice that I can give in selecting a photographer is to choose one whose images tug at your HEARTSTRINGS!

And very simply, that is what I strive to do. I want to create art for you. For your family. For your life. For your home. I want to take the “everday” and make it “everlasting”. I want to capture your love, your life, your relationships.

I want to give you images that you will look at time and time again.

Images that reflect your life!

What got you into wedding/portrait photography?
My love of images, portraits, family photography. Reading lots of lots of photographers blogs. Feeling that I was ready for the next step in my life. Testing the waters and finding I was ready to dive in and swim!!

What are your favorite types of subjects to shoot and why?
Maternity & newborns are my love! I see women come out of their shell when they are with me. They feel beautiful and want to document this time in their lives and I can do that! And newborns, well, they are just amazing creatures. I feel mesmerized watching them sleep. I work really hard to convey a peaceful feeling with my newborns.

I also love families for the crazy love, the differences, the beauty, the connections.

Babies are up there too, as favorite types of subjects, because each age and stage brings new fascination with life that I love to see over and over through my lens.

I love to capture love.

What is your favorite piece of photographic equipment?
Hmmmmm…..tough one. I like each piece for it’s purpose. Love my 50mm 1.4 for newborns. My 85mm 1.2l for outdoors and portraits and my 24-70l for wide angle shots, especially with outdoor maternity sessions or family sessions. I also use my 24-70 indoors to get a wide angle on rooms.

What ProDPI products do you use?
Prints, prints, prints!

Standout mounts

Styrene mounts

Are there any ProDPI products that have enabled your success?
print quality – standout mount quality

Why do you love ProDPI?
great service. great price. great product! i think i need to try the press printed products next!

Sarina Love Photography

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Hey! My name is Sarina and my photography business is based here in sunny Southern California.

In college, I had a natural passion for web and graphic design. I wasn’t sure how to develop this into a career so I pursued a business degree to stay on the safe side. As the years progressed, my business skills evolved as well as my passion for creating. I itched to show off my creative side and eventually started getting into photography.

Now, with the combination of my business skills, my graphic skills, as well as my photography skills, I can create some awesome images and make my clients look and feel amazing. I love being a photographer and I love my work. I look forward to growing as a person as well as growing my business and skills.

What got you into wedding/portrait photography?
I have always been in love with “love”. I grew up liking pretty girly things and I couldn’t wait to plan my own wedding. I decided to venture into wedding photography because I just love the idea of capturing the essence of a lovely day and the cute and endearing moments a wedding day holds.

What are your favorite types of subjects to shoot and why?
I love shooting couples because there’s true emotion behind the picture. Whether its sincerity, passion, or playfulness; a couple’s picture together says it all.

What is your favorite piece of photographic equipment?
Currently, I’m really favoring me 70-200mm IS 2.8 lens. It might be heavy, but you get used to it and the results are simply amazing. So sharp yet creamy!

What ProDPI products do you use?
I use ProDPI exclusively for all my prints from small to large. I plan to venture more and use them exclusively for my albums as well in the near future.

Are there any ProDPI products that have enabled your success?
The quality of their prints is amazing and I always recommend them to my clients and other photographers.

Why do you love ProDPI?
The quality is superb and the shipping time is amazing! Not to mention, customer service is so helpful and fabulous too!

Brandon Perron Photography

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

My name is Brandon and I am a wedding photographer out of the Portland, OR area.

I love fashion and emotions of the wedding day, so I aim to shoot both… I shoot more of a high-fashion portrait (bridal party) and for the rest of the day is really just capturing the moments as they happen to tell the story with in the album; my composition is something that you will see flows through out all images and people seem to recognize. I LOVE artificial light (not as in flash, although I love flash, but lighting from fixtures and bulbs, etc.), so I incorporate it as much as possible in my images.

What got you into wedding/portrait photography?
Funny story… I have a saltwater reef tank and people were posting insane images of macro shots of the coral, and since I am a geek, I loved them… so I started to ask around what people were using to take those shots and found it was DSLR’s with macro lenses… I was sold! So I bought my camera and started to take those shots. I have always appreciated art in every sense, so I decided to shoot other things, nature, landscapes, etc. I never had any intention of shooting people. However, as we all know… when we have a nice camera, family wants us to bring it to all the family functions and since I am creative by nature, I took shots of the moments in between, not people looking at the camera; the results I got…caused me to fall in love! I did it a bit more and then decided that is where I wanted to go with it… not to mention I suck at fine art, landscape, nature photography, LOL. So I started assisting and 2nding with a fellow wedding photog and have been hooked since.

What are your favorite types of subjects to shoot and why?
I shoot people, so I guess those are my favorite subjects…but when people love photography, truly love it, is always my favorite people to shoot, because they really open up for the camera, which always shows in the images.

What is your favorite piece of photographic equipment?
My camera…LOL. I do not have a favorite piece of gear, because all of my gear I use on a regular basis…so I could not just pick one.

What ProDPI products do you use?
Prints and their lay flat albums…my two biggest sellers for my clients!

Are there any ProDPI products that have enabled your success?
Well…having a lab that has consistent results, that are amazing every single time allows me to succeed, because I can be absolutely confident in what I deliver to my clients!

Why do you love ProDPI?
I LOVE prodpi for many, many reasons…but their customer service sets the standard for every company in the industry and their products are amazing! Their colors I get from them are always spot on! Also, as I mentioned before, they are consitently right on all the time…which I need!
