Commercial Photography at Synder Winery in Buhl Idaho

If you didn’t know that we also create commercial photography, it’s our fault for not telling you. Being part of the commercial creative process challenges the mind and allows us to expand the way we view our family and children’s photography.

Plus it’s just dang fun.

Thanks to Russ and Claudia Synder for contracting us to create in their little corner of ‘paradise’.  Some of our views can be seen below.

Photographers. . . have tripod, will travel for fun

Question “My family will be together again this summer and I wanted to know if you would come to Boise and create family portraits for us?”

In a word, YES! We frequently travel to all sorts of destinations to create images and are happy to do so(you already know this if you’ve called our studio; it seems like we’re always gone). People tend to think that we only photograph at the studio and while it’s true that we do work there, it’s also true that we started out without a formal studio. The trial by fire method of learning taught us how to properly light to demonstrate depth and character and to include emotion. And probably a little known fact about me as a photographer; I’m easily bored with a scene. I know that I frequently drive Mary crazy because I’m always wanting a new background or canvas as I’ve grown tired of looking at the ones we currently have.
Of course the best part of location photography is the experience you provide for your family. We hear it all the time. The children’s comments, or the grand children’s comments about how much fun they had ‘that one day when everyone was together.’

Where is the most memorable place you’ve visited?

An honor bestowed

I believe that occasionally we are presented with opportunities to make things go full circle and this month was one of those opportunities for me.
Almost exactly ten years ago a local photographer invited me to join our state association of professional photographers. I can still remember how awestruck I felt while simultaneously developing a sudden and acute inferiority complex. Rubbing shoulders with the best in Idaho was in no small measure inspiring and it was gratifying to learn that each of them experienced trials and tribulations in their professional endeavors, but mostly that they always endeavored to be professional. In short I’ve learned a ton. More from some than others but valuable all.
This week I was elected president of PP of Idaho and couldn’t be more honored. This a group of competitors and friends who strive to be better at their craft. People who are constantly sharing and teaching others just starting out. But as the circle completes, I recognize that it’s my to turn to teach. To share. To encourage. Guess what? I can’t wait!
