Working on My Fitness

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” - Maya Angelou

Last week I had a very inspirational photo shoot with three amazing women each on their own path to success. There was beauty all around the studio as we talked they shared stories of what they were doing in their lives.  These moments of greatness inspired our shoot.

We really enjoyed trying out different poses and seeing how each outfit could inspire a different look and feel. These portraits will tell a story of each of these phenomenal women in a way that words cannot. This is why I am a photographer! 

High School Senior Pictures

If you have't already, it is time to start thinking about your high school senior pictures for 2016. Becoming a high school senior is an important milestone in your life. Your senior pictures should be something specifically designed for you and the reflects your individuality and personal style.

The process should be simple and easy, but thorough enough to create photos that showcase you and who you are at this moment of time.  We love creating those pictures and sharing the final shots with you. It's is something special to see the smiles and surprise and excitement at the photo review sessions.

We are now booking sessions for high school senior pictures, so contact us today.

Wow, just WOW!

I can't tell you how much I love shooting glamour portraits. I love being in the studio and working on making something special that will be treasured for years to come.

This particular glamour portraits session was special because this lovely lady wanted something for her mother and herself. A few minutes into the shoot we were laughing and trying all kinds of poses and just having fun. Let me tell you, you can see it in the photos.

I could not wait to show her the photos. She never imaged what we did in the glamour portraits session would turn out looking so beautiful. Her response was "Wow, just WOW! I love them!"

I love showing clients their photos, seeing their eyes light up and smiles that go for days.

Website Updates - Portrait Photography

Hopefully you have noticed the updates to the website lately. There are many exciting things in the works at Dave Eslinger Photography. I can't wait to share them all with you, and I would love for you to be a part of it.

With the changes to the website, I am trying to include more of my work that shows the diversity between my portrait photography and my fine art work. I truly love both aspects and consider each genre a full immersion in creativity and art.

I enjoy working with people, so portrait photography is a passion of mine.  There is something about seeing people light up during a session and capturing that so they and their families and friends can enjoy that photo forever.

We always have a great time during our portrait photography sessions.  Book your session today.

Where have I been?

I've been spending some time on the art scene with other artist that I support and follow.  Just had an opening last night at a gallery with several friends that do some amazing work!  I got a lot of feedback on my work, which is always great!

I have also been doing some portrait work, which I also love.  More work coming soon!

Next Art Opening
