We're Moving

That's right, in 2017 we will be re-establishing Dave Eslinger Photography in the Tampa Bay area of the sunshine state of Florida!  Stay tuned!

Days Gone By

I love the classics! There is something special about the past in the way that people dressed and did their hair and makeup. Just going down to the soda shop after school was a chance to celebrate yourself and meet up with someone special.

Here's a shot of Caitlin Wood from a shoot we did out at Bob's Gasoline Alley in Cuba, Missouri. She has a great look that spans many decades, making her flexible to shoot in most any setting. She pulled off this look so well and her makeup was done so well by Kristina Marie.

Looking for some photos that celebrate you? Let's plan a shoot soon and capture you as you want to be seen.

Senior Portraits

You have your own unique style and express yourself accordingly. Shouldn't your senior portraits reflect that as well?

We spend a little extra time with clients discussing what they want from their portrait session. We believe it is time well spent and allows us to deliver portraits that celebrate you!

Just Passing Through

I love outdoor photography and nature in general. It is a welcome transition from the daily grind of work and the city. I find it peaceful, and it brings a sense of balance and abundance.

I took this last winter on a photography day trip with my friend Carrie. We were lucky enough to capture eagles, hawks and many other birds on our expedition. Some of the photos will show up in my artwork as I get more time to create.

I am looking forward to more time outdoors soon.

Gratitude

Thank you everyone for a great 2015! The opportunities to work with amazing people to create beautiful portraits that celebrate you! The galleries and patrons that appreciated and purchased my artwork.

I'm looking forward to an exciting year and can't wait to work with you!

Making Change Happen

Celebrate you! 2016 will bring some exciting new changes and I can't wait to share them with you! It's going to be an exciting year and I simply can't wait!

This young lady has a lot to celebrate in both her career and personal life. She is taking each change and lighting it on fire--coming through it all strong, confident and beautiful!

Hollywood Bombshell

Poised for her next big move, Hollywood starlet takes to the rails to find mystery and adventure! Sure to be a box office SMASH!

I love the entertainment industry. I've have a passion for classic movies, the charm and glamour of old Hollywood. Creating photos that reflect that era in cinematic history intrigues me and draws my eye when I am shooting portraits. 

I also love black and white photos and think they have an ageless look to them that is very pristine and visually stunning. At lot of my early work with film included working in the dark room on black and white artistic photos. Some of my work calls out for a black and white re-visioning while others are clearly best represented in color.

Here are a couple of shots from my shoot with Mary, an amazing individual. She sizzles on film and reflects another time so well in her portraits.

A Moment in Time

We had a lot of fun shooting these photos. Whether you are wanting individual, couple or group photos, we've got you covered.  We want to create photos that capture your special memories in a unique way. Not everyone has the same style, taste, or personality so it's important to capture that in your photos.

Lindsey and Eric really shine in this photo. Our team did a great job capturing this moment in time. A big thank you to everyone involved!

Because You're Beautiful

I get a lot of people that say they want to have their portraits done, but they want to put it off until they loose weight, change their hairstyle and work on themselves a little more. I'm hear to tell you you are beautiful now so why wait.

I love shooting portraits and making people feel amazing in the process.

Check out Abby's photo. She was not only wonderful to shoot, but just gorgeous in her photos.  She's got the look!

A Hollywood Classic

Capturing your beauty and making you feel like a star is what we do at Dave Eslinger Photography.

I love shooting and editing photos; here is a look at the same photo with different edits. Mary is absolutely gorgeous in all three photos. Mary is a timeless beauty that can span different decades and styles. She is a natural for Old Hollywood shoots.

Celebrate You! Book your session today and let's capture your classic beauty.

Stepping Up

We had a great time photographing Eric. He has a great sense of humor. He has been stepping up his game and making changes that are sure to impact his life and those around him. It was a great time to be capturing him in photos.

Your portraits are a work of art!

Quick looks from our photo shoot with Abby, she has a great look for fashion and glamour photography. She was so fun to shoot and there are also many photos of laughter and big smiles. I can't wait to do another fashion shoot with her.

If you are into fashion and glamour as well, why not consider having some artistic photos done that suit your personal style and show the world your beauty. Celebrate you!

3D Photoshoot - A Dancer, Designer and Dave

Here is a sneak peek from our photo shoot with fashion designer, Lynn Lansangan and dancer, Mary L. Poll. We had a photo shoot full of laughter, energy and fun. These two ladies were a charm to work with on this photo shoot. We can't wait to do it again!

I believe that photos can tell a story and make statements, our shoot was a clear testament of that as well.  This is the debut of Lynn's first designer ballroom gown so I knew it had to be special and unique to both Lynn and Mary. I think we have some amazing photos, so stay tuned for more from this shoot in the next few weeks.
