Adult Portraits For Fun & Business

Olathe Photographer — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 21:05:32 +0000

Sure. Portraits Today Studios takes far more portraits of babies, children and families than we do adult portraits. But make no mistake. We do plenty of portraits for adults. Of course, we do a lot of photography for real estate agents, insurance agents and the like. But we also have a few folks we do product photography for and portrait sessions just for the fun of it. Or to turn a man’s head.

So if you need a professional photographer in Olathe that can work in our studios or throughout the Kansas City area let us know. We can come to your place of business or any event you may be hosting. See you there!

Photography. For the fun of it.

Glamour Shots

Olathe Photographer — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:25:38 +0000

Did you know there are no Glamour Shots in Kansas? I was surprised by this. But this doesn’t mean we cannot do glamour portraits for Kansas women. And heck, even you women from the Missouri side of Kansas City. Here are two women who came in last week for head turning photos to give to their men. (And I have to say I heard from one of the men and he was quite happy.)

Professional photographers.

The Photoshop Effect: How Much Is Too Much?

Olathe Photographer — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:00:36 +0000

I deal with the question of Photoshop each and every day. Here at Portraits Today Studios we are about affordable, same-day portrait photography. And the biggest part of our business is photographing babies, children and their families. So while the subject of photoshop doesn’t come up very often except to ask ”can you put this head on that picture?” when taking children’s portraits it comes up nearly every time when we get to mom’s photos.

“Can you get rid of the wrinkles under my eyes?”

“Can you fix my scar?”

“Can you help me lose ten pounds?”

“Can you…?”

The answer to all of the questions is “Yes!” I can. Now, it’s probably not going to be same day. And there will probably be an additional fee unless you are already paying for one of our Premium Portrait Packages or are a high school senior client at SeniorPhotosKC.com. But how much is too much when it comes to Photoshop retouching?

I’m all for helping you look your best. It’s what I do. But it’s also important, especially for women, and doubly especially (is that a proper phrase?) for teenage girls, to understand that a portrait that has been touched up in even the slightest manner is not 100% reality. That’s okay. Until someone starts getting an eating disorder because they are trying to look like someone who doesn’t even look like that them-self.

Ladies, you are beautiful the way you are. I’ve seen moms self-depricate at their photographs. They have a husband and beautiful children with them and all they can do is see their flaws. Sure we can touch those up. And we’re happy to do so. But just remember those beautiful tv types, well, they ain’t that perfect, either.

Here is a YouTube video entitled The Photoshop Effect. Might be worth your time.

Glamour Photography At Portraits Today Studios

Olathe Photographer — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 14:20:30 +0000

We had a really enjoyable lady come in to Portraits Today Studios last week for some glamour photography. She is a college student from Tulsa taking some fashion classes over at Johnson County Community College. And she has her own start-up web site – www.anointedbeautystore.com – where she sells clothes and accessories that she thinks are pretty cool. Now, she’s still working on the website. So be patient with her.

She came in with several different outfits and we went to work coming up with what I think are some fun portraits that should help her sell some of her product over on her website and, well, make her boyfriend glad he knows her!

Ladies, if you would like a personalized portrait session that will make your man turn his head a couple times and brag to his mates about his lady, give us a call. We like to make couples happy. We call our glamour photography our Sassy Lady package. Call us for more details.

Your memories, today.
