Bayshore Album

Late this spring I finally got around to designing a flush-mount album for Bayshore Grove in Oswego. George at Bayshore had the brilliant idea to separate the album into seasons, since Bayshore highly revolves around the outside scenery. I loved the idea of having sections specifically for spring, summer, and fall.

So I already gave George his copy because I was so excited to have him see it, but I ordered 96 mini-copies for me to hand out to prospective clients as well as Bayshore. Here is a photo of what they look like. They're cute 2.5x4" books that are 36 sides



Congrats to Clint & Nicole Pitts (05.31.08), Quame & Molly Patterson (07.04.08), Ryan & Michelle Terpening (08.02.08), and Brandon & Brittany Bean (10.18.08), for being the highlighted weddings in this new album! You guys will be getting a copy in the mail, unfortunately for everyone else the only way to get your hands on this bad boy is to be planning an upcoming wedding!

Chandler's Senior Sesson

Last week Isaac and I photographed our first double senior session. Shane & Chandler are good friends at Oswego High school. They decided they wanted to do their session together, and we happily obliged. It was so fun having two models to work with. The two of them fed off each other as they made faces at each other and tried to "out model" one another. I hope to do more double senior sessions like this in the near future.

Here are my favorites of the beautiful Chandler during her senior session:

Tis the season

Wedding season is in full swing, along with family portraits and senior sessions we are keeping ourselves really busy. Isaac's last day of teaching is the 15th and his last day of going into school is the 26th. I am very excited to have him back in the office for the summer months.
In the past 3 weeks we have shot 4 weddings, 2 senior portraits, moved my office back into my house, went to a 2 day conference (where I got to photograph 2 famous musicians up close and personal), celebrated 4 birthdays and our 4th anniversary. Wow I can't believe I did all that since Memorial Day.

For the next few days I will be sharing photos from all of our photo adventures including all of our past 3 weddings, portraits etc. This year we are really starting to focus more on our senior photography. We started off the senior season (May-Oct.) very strong with a double senior session of Shane & Chandler. These two were a blast to work with as we spent about an hour after school last week. This was our first senior session where we had two friends come together. It was fun to see them laugh at each other and I can tell they had a lot of fun. I think we might start trying to do more senior sessions with a friend or two. I cannot wait to see these photos printed out. Next summer we are planning on shooting more portraits and less weddings.

For the 2010 wedding season we are only going to shoot 10-12 weddings with a max of 1 per weekend and 2 per month. With our free weeks when we do not have weddings we are going to be shooting more senior sessions and family portraits. Woo hoo. I absolutely love weddings and If my body could take having a wedding every Friday and Saturday I would, but after 6 months of working every weekend my body hates me. This is good news for all of your Kain's Photography clients, because as my work load goes down, my quality and time available to answer your questions goes up! That is what full service support is all about... being available to YOU!

Now enjoy some of my favorites of Shane's senior session taken by the wonderful Isaac Kain himself:
