Sportshots by Kristen from Brookfield Connecticut specializes in custom sports photography.

Kirsten writes:

  ”I’m very excited to launch SportShots by Kristen! My passion for sports photography began several years ago with spending many hours at various courts and fields with my children. I get a thrill when I capture that special moment – a completed football pass, a scored goal, or a baseball coming right off the bat! I offer prints and posters from the action I capture, and in addition I offer custom collage posters and digital photo books.”

“I’ve always loved photography. I took film classes in high school and just fell in love. I earned my degree in Graphic Design and have used so much of what I’ve learned in my own photography. I just recently started my business about 2 years ago and I’ve loved every minute of it! I’m SO excited to see what the future holds! Photography has always been an interest and a love and I’m so thankful that I get to take beautiful pictures of [beautiful] people as a part of my living!”

“I’m brand new to this “smugmug” world but I am LOVING it! Jerry made me love it even more – I think I’m hooked! Thank you Jerry for the awesome work – as always!”

too Trick Pony Productions mission is to bridge the gap between industry suppliers and small to medium sized exhibit programs.

Terry of too Trick Pony Productions writes “I chose smug mug after looking through a large number of other photogs web sites and then looking at their hosting places.  After finding smug mug I found them to have the best overall program, doing all of the things that I wanted and more.  Within the smugmug site I found your site.  After reviewing all of the examples that you had shown, it was an easy decision to use smug mug and you to make the site mine.”

“I certainly appreciate all of your advice and assistance in getting this together.  I would not have had the time to do it myself nor the knowledge.  Your work was very fairly priced, timely and the instructions of what I wanted were easy to communicate.”

“For anybody looking to have either a photo site, or a site that works for a different business, I strongly recommend smugmug and you!”

Over and Above Aerial Photography specializes in high quality photographs in the New England States taken from either a tethered blimp or a telescoping mast.

Owner Gerald Smith writes “I love photography because I can capture a moment in time and to some extent manipulate it after the fact. I’ve been taking pictures on and off for 40 years and it never seems to get old. When you actually capture what you were trying to it’s a great feeling.”

“Favorite types of photography are landscapes and animals. I was a Veterinarian for many years and now I’m surrounded by my own animals constantly. Animal antics never get old for me and our pygmy goats are always ready to mug it up for the camera.”

“In designing a website I was looking for something which denoted some class without getting too “heavy”. I wanted it simple but able to convey waht our company does quickly. I think we accomplished that with the color scheme and layout.”

LT recently had the opportunity to work with SPC Creative Photography. SPC Creative Photography from Houston Texas specializes in portraits, sports and event photography.

Shelly writes to us:

I am convinced that given a nice cape and a tiara I could save the world – or at least photograph it for posterity.

As a child, I was the one who always brought home stray dogs and people – and then wouldn’t rest until they were safely fed and cared for. Then when I grew up, I learned that I really could do my part to save the world by working for a variety of nonprofit and health awareness organizations. In 20 plus years I did it all: Public relations, program management, fund raising, event planning, education, volunteer management, grant writing — and naturally photography often fell into my realm of responsibilities.

Just any old snapshots simply wouldn’t do; I wanted mine to be great, so I signed up for a lighting seminar with portrait guru, Dave Newman. Suddenly I saw everything with fresh eyes. It was like falling in love for the very first time, and I couldn’t think of anything but the pictures around me waiting to be captured.

So . . . I added more classes to develop and polish my skills and then launched SPCcreative as a sideline business. Before long, I was blessed enough to take it full time. My nonprofit/PR background gives me a unique perspective for telling my clients’ stories through imagery.

I believe that the photography experience should be stress-free and fun for everyone involved. I enjoy portraiture, weddings, action sports , product photography, nature, and travel. Most recently, I have added boudoir photography with a special niche for women who are 40 and older. After all, beauty doesn’t stop at age 25 and 125 lbs. The women who have paid their dues DESERVE to show off their beauty – if only for themselves and their husbands. The other day I had a session with a gorgeous 59 year old. Talk about FUN!

Few things make me happier than sharing a picture with someone and seeing them smile. It doesn’t matter to me if the picture is a portrait or candid snap, a game-winning touchdown, or the intricate stamen of a tiny orchid. I still get downright giddy at my prospects when I see a beautiful child in perfect golden-hour light. I love to watch storms approaching. Teenagers moody expressions light up my engines just as much as their million-dollar smiles. God gave us a beautiful world and I just want to photograph every square inch of it, every special occasion and every day-to-day moment that will become a memory only if it is recorded for the future

One of my funniest photography stories included a big lesson learned. I started shooting high school football for our athletic booster club. At my very first game, I positioned myself on the field after halftime alongside several other more seasoned photographers. We were going to catch the team running onto the field behind a couple of brawny flagmen who carrying huge flags. These banners are at least 8 x 12 feet, no joke. I had a fantastic shot of one of these guys coming straight at me. As he got closer, I decided it was time to get out of the way. BIG MISTAKE. He and I danced left and right all the way to the sideline. That was when I learned to stand still and get as small as I can. If the ball is not in play, these guys will go around me. During play . . . I am pretty strategic about where I stand, and I place a great deal of trust in my guardian angels who protect me every day.
