Stephanie's Senior Photos

This morning I headed to Johnstown for Stephanie's senior photo shoot. We started things off with some shots of her and her horse and then went to Green Gables in Boswell before heading back in to Somerset. And she even agreed to kneel in some rather murky creek water at the end of the shoot. Now that's cool!


















Reyanah's Senior Photos

Yesterday I had the chance to shoot Reyanah's senior photos and we had a blast! I've really lucked out this year with super-cool seniors and Reyanah was no exception.

Alexandra's Senior Photos

This afternoon I met with Ali and her family to shoot her senior photos. We had a great time shooting in and around Somerset. Ali's such a photogenic young woman and just a joy to work with. I even snapped a photo of her brother during one of her outfit changes.

More news

Okay, so remember when I wrote that the new senior photo website would hopefully be ready some time in October? I lied.

The site should be up and running some time this week. I'm just working out some kinks with the programmer and as soon as that's done, it'll be ready to rock. And it is so freaking cool. But then again, I'm easily entertained.

In other news, I'll be out of town on August 23 and 24. I'm going to Kentucky and southern West
Virginia to do some photography. I won't have access to email or voicemail while I'm away, but I'll do my best to respond to any/all messages shortly after I return on the 25th.

That's all for today.

Amazing things are coming

Anyone who has followed my blog will know how much I love shooting senior portraits. This year I've worked super hard to create a unique style and look that will help to set me apart from the other photographers in my area. I don't want to be just another photographer and instead want to be the photographer who clients go to because they want to work with me and want my artistic vision, and not just because they "need pictures".

I plan to photograph at least 100 seniors over the next year and to take my business to the next level. Being a newer studio in the area, I know I need to work twice as hard, but I'm going to create a fun, exciting experience for my senior clients. Part of that will be coming later this year when I launch my new senior website. It's an awesome, flash-based site that looks super cool. I'm working with the designer now and it'll hopefully be fully functional some time in October.

I'm also recruiting new Spokemodels to help spread the word about Tony Urban Studios to their friends and classmates. I already have a referral program in place where seniors get a $20 print credit for each referral, but the new program will have even more cool stuff involved for everyone.

More than anything, I want to continue to create amazing photos for my clients - photos that people look at and say, "Wow!" I know that making the best portraits will help me reach every milestone I set and that's that's what is going to ensure that Tony Urban Studios is the top senior portrait studio in all of Pennsylvania.

I'm really excited about starting this journey and hope you'll continue to follow me along the way.
