Indianapolis Photographer - A year in the life

I am so excited about how far Erica Salmon Photography has come this year!  And I can’t wait to see how we end 2011.  I do have a few things in mind . . . more on that in another post . . .

WOW!  I started this year with a splitting headache, shooting only on location, and trying to stuff all of my camera equipment into a dresser in the entryway or my laundry room.  I’m ending the year generally healthy, with a new house that includes a camera room, a gallery / presentation room with a projector, and some super big closets that I am still cramming full of photography equipment.  I’ve earned a few merits towards my Master’s Degree in Photography while attending the Winonna School of Photography over the summer as well as some of Professional Photographers of America Super Monday Events.  I’ve upgraded a lot of my equipment and purchased lots of new fun and useful gadgets.  Most importantly, I’ve had the opportunity to meet lots of new people and help them to preserve some amazing images!

 

Indianapolis Newborn Photographers - Baby Sophie

I have so enjoyed my last few newborn portrait sessions! It's so fun to dress them up in funny hats, tutus, tie bows around them, and put them in some comfy cozy cocoons! I am looking forward to many more opportunities! Please be sure to check our our new baby program if you know anyone who is expecting!  We also have a nice referral program for you!

Here is a video from my latest session.  Baby Sophie is so sweet!  Can't wait to see how she changes and grows.  Before you click play I have to warn you - the song might make you cry!  :)





I think this my favorite image from our session.

Some more fun with Photography Slideshows

Thanks to this lovely family! We got some great images and didn't freeze too much. I enjoyed "painting" this portrait for them.

A Few Children's Photographs I just couldn't wait to share . . .

We had a great time with AVA.  She was such a sweetie, and REALLY liked her cake!

My Greenfield, Indiana Photography Studio!

I realized the other day that I hadn't taken or posted any images of our new place.  We moved in in May.  As I was standing in my neighbors yard at dusk with my tripod wondering if she was home, I thought about trying out an HDR image.  So I took three shots at three different exposures.  I tried to let Photshop put it together for me, but it didn't go so well.  I did it myself and think the result is kind of cool.

Here is our new home and home of Erica Salmon Photography Studio in Greenfield, IN.

FYI, I pumped up the green in the grass, but it still looks really brown.

During the many steps of creating my HDR image, using various masks and filters, I noticed this shot and thought it was pretty neat:

Here is the inside

This shot was taken at night, but I have some nice windows along two walls if I decide to use natural light.  My husband Jim build me a couple of PVC frames for my reflectors.  My room looked super big before we moved in, but I'm afraid I'm going to be looking for more space . . .

Jim really did a great job on these.  We have vaulted ceilings in this room so it was a challenge.  I felt like I had a real studio when I had my backdrops attached!  This is a great inexpensive system.
