Indoor / Outdoor Senior Portraits

My favorite thing about senior portraits is that everyone is unique. Here at Creative Portraits we really work hard to capture that unique edge for each of our clients. You want your portraits to reflect who you are!

DANCERS WANTED – Personal Project….

Being photographers, we spend almost all our time doing projects for other people and every now and then we take a little time to do a personal project for ourselves. We are looking for male and female dancers between the age of 16-23 to work with us to create a special peice of art. All types of dance, ballet, break dancers, tap, lyrical, you name it. We also prefer dancers with a higher level of skill.  If you or anyone you know is interested, please either contact us by e-mailing HERE, add a comment below or call us at 530.223.5456 so we can explain more in detail.

The Real Meaning of Easter – Our Photos From Israel of The Garden Tomb

5 years ago Tommy and I went on a trip to Israel. It was so incredbile, being able to put the stories that we knew from the Bible into real life places. Some of my favorite photos are from the Garden Tomb and since it is Easter weekend I though it was a great time to post some photos that we took while there. There is the Hill that the cross was placed on (Golgatha, place of the Skull, where Jesus Christ was crucified by the Romans, buried in a nearby tomb, and rose from the dead on Easter Sunday) ,some pictures of the tomb itself, the huge track the rock was rolled away from, the inside of the tomb (it’s believed Jesus was buried on the left) and a photo of Tommy and I in front of the empty tomb.

I hope you enjoy and if you’re not doing anything for Easter, come join us at The Convention Center, Neighborhood Church has 3 services Easter Sunday. For More Information Visit www.NCRedding.com

Missionary to Africa – Dancing Portraits

What a great time we had tonight photographing this missionary to Africa. She is currently going to the Bethel School of Ministry and will be returning to Africa when she has raised enough support. She wanted portraits of her “dancing with Jesus” which she will montage for her cards. She was such a joy to photograph and had incredible garments.

Thank you Eugenie for sharing with us!

Commercial Product Photography

This was a fun shoot from this week. We don’t post a lot of our commercial stuff but I just love the way these glasses came out. This is part of a large series of staged shots we are doing for a local etched glass company. We’ll post more and their new site once we’re done with all the shots!
