Flixels: Gimmick or Great?

So anyone that knows me, knows that I love watching America's Next Top Model.  I adore Tyra Banks and how much she enjoys learning new things and staying on top of what's new and exciting in the fashion world.  So this season, they are including Flixels as part of their model shoots.  I know that Tyra has invested in this company, so I can see why it is a smart move for her to highlight the product in her series.  But the question is, is this a gimmick or the new wave of the future?

So let me know what you think about the "living photograph" and what impact it will have in the photography world.  Should I offer this service in my high school senior sessions?  Would you want to buy any of these gif images?  Obviously, they only work on computers, so is there a market for this?

And thank you Tyra for giving me inspiration in my work!

New Designs for Seniors!

Bored of the same old frame that holds only one photograph?  Looking for something fresh and new, something that stands out from everyone else's senior portraits?  Then look no more!

 

Heidi, at a Slice of Life Photography, loves graphic design and is always on the lookout for new and contemporary designs.  Her latest find includes three different collections that should look good with just about any session.  They come in 5x7, 8x8 and 12x12 sizes and Heidi can even do the framing for you too!  Let us know what you think.

Ariana Owens - Escondido High School

I recently purchased a few new props for my senior portrait studio sessions and was thrilled to use the new chandelier with Ariana Owens.  Ariana loved my secret garden that I use typically for children's portraits so after our studio session we headed outside.  We came up with a lot of great images and I really had fun taking her photos.  She's a natural model so she didn't need a lot of help with posing.  Enjoy her slideshow!

FREE Downtown Senior Sessions!

AUGUST IS SIZZLING HOT AND SO ARE WE!

Yes, you read right! We're giving away free Downtown Escondido Senior Sessions. But there's a catch...it's limited to the first 24 seniors that call to set up an appointment and each student must show proof of carrying a B- average or better in school, or proof of school activity such as athletic team or band. Also, we'll be taking these photographs in 1.5 hour blocks with 3 seniors at a time so it's a great time to book with your friends and have fun taking your photographs both alone and with them!

Sessions will take place Wednesday & Thursday, August 5th & 6th. So don't delay, because school is starting right around the corner! Call us at 760.739.9580 to reserve your session. And to make sure that seniors are serious about booking, there is a $25 non-refundable reservation fee that can be used toward print purchases.



A Slice of Life Photography is Escondido's newest and hottest senior studio, so be sure to tell your friends. We're definitely not your brother or sister's senior studio, so make sure to visit our website and see what makes us different.
