My New Boy! - Photographer Scranton Pa

I've been a bad blogger lately. Mainly due to a combination of working, and Thomas.

Thomas?

Yes! Number three child arrived safely and happily at 5:09am on September 19, 2011. He was a modest 8.1lbs and 20 inches long.

We had been anxiously waiting for our new friend to arrive, and 9 months worth of waiting can be harder than one thinks. But now that our boy is here, I am overwhelmed, as I was with our other two, wondering what awaits us.

He looks up at me with his big dark eyes, with that penetrating stare, issuing a challenge.

Hope I don't let him down. Never having known my father, I understand what I have to do for him and my other kiddies.

I'm up for it.

Enjoy some photos from our overnight labor party!

Senior Pictures!

It's a busy, busy time, senior pictures season!

Luckily I found some time and had a great in-studio session with the incomparable Dominique and thought I'd share some of the shots with you. I'm hoping to work with her again! What do you think?

And don't forget, if you book your senior pictures and mention my blog, you'll get $25 off the session fee! Can't beat that! Be sure to check out my website as well, www.stevelewisphotos.com for even more of my work and some great info!

iPhonery

I've wanted an iPhone since they were first launched way back in 2007. But I was also a Verizon customer, and that meant that I was left out unless I was willing to switch back to AT&T.


And that wasn't gonna happen.

So I waited and was rewarded in February when I got a special email notifying me that the iPhone4 was coming to Verizon! So of course I was one of the first to get my grubby mitts on it, and I love it.

So instantly of course I started taking pictures with its 5 megapixel camera.

Let me tell ya, when you do not have any control over the aperture or shutter speed or iso, it is extremely freeing. You have to find other ways to let your creativity flow, and the image really takes on a new importance when you don't have to worry about settings. I think that as photographers we get too bogged down in the technical aspects of the craft and forget that it's really about the image.

Using my iPhone has increased my sight and how I see things. 

I am actually toying with the idea of shooting a wedding exclusively with the iPhone.

We'll see if that works out.

These few shots were taken with my iPhone 4. These and many more can be viewed at my  Facebook page. Go to the photo album "iPhonery" to view more and maybe be my friend as well.

Cuz it's good to have friends.

Weekend Fun For You!

Have you ever wondered what makes Apple products so much better than anything else out there? If so, here is a video that tries to answer that question as we visit the Apple Factory with your tour guide Steve Jobs. Enjoy!

Mini Sessions!

What better time than Spring to take some wonderful new photos of your family?

I am offering mini sessions! Shake off the winter blues, lets get outside and make some art for your walls!

And the price? $75 for a 30 minute session which also gets you a dvd of the images and a free 8x10 of your choice!

Don't delay, book your session by April 30th to get in on this great offer!

This little guy was happy to get his session booked.  You can be too!

New logo!

I'm pretty excited right now! There's LOTS going on here, and there's plenty more that I'll be sharing in the days and weeks coming up.

The first thing I wanted to tell you about is that I just concluded a logo design contest over at www.48hourslogo.com . In 4 days I received 80 different logo designs from 10 different designers. 48 hours logo is a great way to have a logo designed by professional designers, and I highly recommend it if you are in the market.

Pretty sweet, huh? So check back here true believers, lots more great stuff coming up!

Cassie + Matt Engagement Photos!
