Macey's a model, and a senior

If you want your senior to look like a model, simply have them schedule their senior pictures with us...seriously, look how good Macey's photographs look. Even if you don't want your senior to look like a model, schedule their senior pictures with us and we can promise you that you (and your soon to be graduated son or daughter) will be totally stoked with how their pictures turn out.

A few from the Macey.

DM Christmas Card Special

Your dilemma: getting a professional family portrait to use for your Christmas card this year, but not paying an arm and a leg.

Our dilemma: wanting to deliver outstanding photos for you and your family while still having time to spend with our families this holiday season.

The solution: economies of scale.

DM Photo can provide you with quality images for your Christmas cards at a great price by doing double or triple header shoots. You’ll get a professional portrait of you and your family delivered in digital format for $50. Here’s how this special offer works:

• Christmas card portraits will be taken at Mesa Art Center. For examples of the many different locations that can be used here, take a look at the first 10 photos on our “Portraits” web page.
• There will be at least 2 of these shoots; the first one on Saturday, Nov. 22nd and the second on Saturday, Nov 29th. Both will take place from 4:30pm – 6:00pm.
• Each family shoot will last approximately 20 minutes
• You will receive up to three fully edited, high resolution images available via download

Baby Ben

What a great name. And it goes so well with the "baby" part. Baby Ben. That's who we spent last Saturday afternoon with. This kid had THE MOST HAIR I HAVE EVER SEEN ON A NEWBORN. Seriously, it was completely awesome. He had more hair than I have. And it was cool hair, too. Like Zoolander. "It's not my fault I look better with gel in my hair than with a little helmet with a light on it."

Anyway, the pictures...

First Carpe DM Shoot

We were privileged to do our first Carpe DM shoot with Patty and Levi a few weeks ago. The location was a park in Mesa and the shoot took place around 6:30 pm, just as the sun was going down and the light was nice and soft. Here are a few of the photos we delivered.

Studio Shoot w/ A Baby

A few months ago we volunteered to do a free photo shoot for our friend's son. He has a medical condition for which they needed to raise funds, so we donated some time for a silent auction fundraiser they had. This is the shoot we did for the winner's daughter.

One fun thing we did at this shoot was to incorporate a new piece of studio equipment. You'll notice a soft reflection on the floor in each of the photos; that's the new board we used. Pretty neat, huh? We love the effect.

DM Photo on Ch 12 News

We had a tremendous storm here in the valley Thursday and, to a lesser extent, Friday evening. And of course, we had our camera out. This particular shot was taken around 10:30pm in Mesa and sent to channel 12 news where it made the rounds on the 4:30 and 9:00 newscasts. For those interested, it was taken at an ISO of 100, f/5.6, 15 sec shutter speed and 24mm focal length.
