Peace Lutheran Christmas Gala..2011

Friday evening offered an elegant evening for the Antigo area with the first Gala held in the fellowship hall at Peace Lutheran Church. The space was transformed into a living Christmas Scene with servings of excellent Hors d'oeuvres, and beverage bar. The event was held just in time for Christmas with many fine donations that were available to bid on from local merchants and businesses.

What's new? Mini-Shoots for Juniors!

This new concept for our area will officially kick off next summer. Sure, as you graduate as a junior, that summer is when you schedule your Senior Pictures to be taken. But what is being done across the country are Juniors in High School sessions. We plan to offer a Mini-Shoot for Juniors for those who would like to capture more memories of their high school years. These mini-sessions will be offered at a substantially discounted rate for both the capture session and prints ordered for those who also commit to having their Senior Portraits taken with us, and usually taken later in fall. So.....if you are a sophomore now, and will be a junior during the summer of 2013 this might be for YOU! What a fun way to capture memories (you can also schedule a best friend session where you and your best friend can have a shoot together).

A note about our Studio Model Rep, SAVANNA: Savanna is a Junior in high school now and has signed on to be one of our model reps for our Junior Mini-Sessions as well as being on our Studio Model Rep Team for 2014 Seniors. More on this to come...... See What's New!

Wittenberg/Birnamwood 2012 Senior Samantha.....

Wishing you a GREAT senior year Samantha!

Artistic Adjustments.......really fun with no end in sight!

SEE WHAT'S NEW.......This will be fun......

In a few weeks we are launching a new concept for the Antigo, Birnamwood, Deerbrook, Bowler area that is very popular in other parts of the country for high school portraits! Stay tuned, subscribe to this blog, like "DJHones Photography"......to See What's New! (SSSStttt......Here's a hint.......high-schoolers who are JUNIORS NEXT SUMMER will be excited about this)

We will also be introducing our two studio Model Reps who will be helping us with this idea within the next few weeks with a "fall modeling shoot" we are doing with each of them.

What a fun summer with Senior Pics!

Few of our sports shots of the year.......

Flowers are in bloom for Senior Pics......

Great weather and sun for senior pics! Here's one of Mary from AHS. She had some great outfits and the weather was super in regards to lighting. She posed like a pro.

Senior Summer Promotion Photo Op......

.......Here's the deal.....The next senior girl, and the next senior guy that books their summer session with our studio has a choice of using one of these two cars as a prop/backdrop:

1) Classic 1979 Mercedes Car, rich silver/gray show car from California
2) Elegant white 2009 BMW with a moon roof

The next senior girl and the next senior guy that books their session can use the car that is remaining. This is a limited time offer since these cars will only be around a short time. Both these vehicles offer a chance for some very elegant/classy/dressy images for your senior pics.

SENOR SUMMER SESSIONS.....SO MANY CHOICES

This year we are kicking up our offerings for senior portrait sessions......so many choices and so much FUN! Check out which one is YOU!

- Our most popular......the Honors Session....which includes outdoor on-location shooting either at our growing portrait park or a variety of local locations, along with the standard indoor studio session (in our newly constructed studio last summer). 1.5 to 2 hours shooting for $88.00 plus tax

- New this year......our BFF Session......You bring along with you 1 to 3 friends to include them and we put together a session for each of you for 50% off the Honors Session price. Of course this session takes some time to get shots of all who participate, along with a host of pictures of all of you together. Together pictures could include: finger painting on a large white backdrop (and you know getting paint on each other will be part of this), blowing tons of bubbles, or a "shopping" theme (with shopping bags from New York and California stores, that is if you like to shop).

- Have a special place your family vacations, camps or you grew up at each summer????????? Try our Vacation Location Session! For a negotiated fee we can arrange to do your senior pictures at places like: Door County, Copper Harbor (in upper Michigan), or Minocqua (where Krista's were taken above). (Still in the works, but next year Italy may even be on the menu). This is a real opportunity to get some pictures with amazing settings like sunsets, yachts, water falls, ruins, abandoned buildings, and so on. We have full strobe lighting setups and backup power to facilitate location shoots.

How does EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh sound??? Vintage planes for a backdrop.......
