Kameron Bayne Images :: Signature Photography :: Studio News

We will be out of town all next week for a photographer’s workshop to recap the 2008 year and refresh our approach to a balanced life and business. With the 2009 new year, some exciting new changes are coming…

• an updated look for our blog and WebReady images (see below)
• a new online cart system at clients.kameronbayneimages.com
• a brand new employee to help in the office! (we’ll be dedicating a whole post to introduce him in the couple weeks)
• new online workflow/client management system to help keep us better connected with clients by allowing secure access to 2009 wedding or photo shoot details via a unique portal page website

We have one more piece of news we want to share – but it requires a picture that has yet to be taken… and we hope that opportunity will come sometime this week.

On New Year’s Eve, we photographed a delightful newly engaged couple: Tanya and Brandon. We stayed in the Old Market, close to their downtown loft and made sure Newman, the family dog, was in a few too. The weather was cold and froze our fingers, but we were warmed by the glimpse of their commitment to each other. Even in the midst of life’s struggles and painful circumstances, we’re always inspired by couples who choose to love.

My dad gave us a Bowflex over the holidays, which we really appreciated because we’re trying to make healthier lifestyle choices as we grow older. While we were setting up, I thought it’d be a perfect time to experiment with some time lapse photos. My camera was set up to fire remotely and the finished pictures were strung together in sequence to give a sense of motion. Check it out and see what you think. I can imagine lots of other uses for this…

And of course, we now have an in+house gym with free membership to all household guests!

Jill and Caleb were married on a perfect autumn day which allowed us to get a lot of fun photographs in the Old Market. The reception was tastefully decorated at the Paxton Ballroom (put together by In the Details Events) and was an event to remember.  As the wedding couple entered, people formed a half circle around them as they started their first dance together (it was Angela’s suggestion to photograph it from the balcony – it was a tough lighting situation, but Stephanie and I managed to get something that captured the significance of the moment by holding an off-camera flash down below).

The Viewing Premiere is only two weeks away… and soon afterwards, everyone associated with the wedding will be able to view the entire gallery online because our new photo cart system should be up and running by then!

Back when it was still warm outside, Mark and Kelli were married in Omaha (well, Papillion actually) at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church for a beautiful wedding celebration.  It was a simple, but profound event that was a perfect reflection of the love they share: uncomplicated and deeply rooted.  I was honored to be the wedding photographer of such a kind-hearted couple. I’m excited to show the rest of the images at the Viewing Premiere!
I’m also excited for the finished album to come together; it will be the first that is truly a hybrid of the classic traditional album and modern coffee table book… I hope to show more pictures when it’s all done!

Recently, Brendan from Fishworks Engineering made an incredibly humorous and insightful discovery… computer hard drives dramatically decrease in performance when they are yelled at. Lesson be learned: don’t yell at your hard drive, it will hurt its feelings.

For Joey’s signature session – our final senior of the year – we used a Michael Bublé CD as the inspiration and got some cool stuff in the studio and just outside with some train tracks and a big red barn. That day was a cold one, but I promise it will be much warmer today at the Viewing Premiere! See you soon, Joey.
