Well… someone had to photograph this fun and very worthwhile event. Glad that Highlands Ranch put their trust in me to document and help them publicize “In The Pink” again this year. Check out the slideshow!
This the 4th year that Jamie, Valerie, and the Highlands Ranch Community have hosted “In The Pink” Champagne Luncheon and Fashion Show with the proceeds benefiting a breast cancer awareness organization. It is a real honor and pleasure to donate my photography to their event.
Alicia at Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie works countless hours to arrange models, coordinate the fashions and put on the show. It was held last Saturday despite the April blizzard.
Sense Of Security is this years beneficiary of Pink. In addition I’m really excited about another partnership we’ve formed: Special Portraits.
For only $120 you’ll receive an awesome and fun in studio portrait session and 1 8×10″ B&W print. Not only is this an incredible value – a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Sense Of Security. A win – win situation, don’t you agree? Shoot me an email or call – 303.880.8063 – to learn more and book your appointment.
You’ll look great! My portrait studio is open for business. In addition to my signature “storytelling with a camera” photography for discerning brides and grooms, I’m also offering “remarkable portraits” in a studio setting, at your home or business, or as a “Day in the Life” photo story.
Same great photography and service – exceeding client expectations with eye-catching images, delivered on time.
Check out the Galleries at the new website, barrystaverportraits.com.
Can’t wait to share this wonderful news. Lots of work to finish before the big announcement, please be patient.
I’ve found a new way to give back to the community, add new dimension to my business, and have fun all at the same time.
How cool is that?
I’m happy to report that my 2nd book, Better Available Light Digital Photography, is off the press, available at bookstores or online at Amazon. Published by Focal Press, ISBN: 978-0240809991.
Co-author Joe Farace and I include our real-life stories, with tips and experiences, to help advanced amateur photographers and other camera enthusiasts improve their low light photography. Since cameras are getting better and better at capturing images in low light our goal is to get people shooting in situations they wouldn’t otherwise consider. It’s easy to experiment in the digital world (no expense for film and processing) so get out there and “push the button” as my son Matthew is fond of saying.
There’s a chapter devoted entirely to my style of Wedding Photography. I’ll use future posts to share some of the stories and tips from the book.
If you’ve got specific questions or thoughts please shoot me an email or give a shout!
Cheers,
Barry
Must have been a bad hair day – 10 years ago.
It’s easy to see the time go by on a weekly and even monthly basis isn’t it? Changing the page on the wall calendar, paying those monthly bills, the weekly spa treatments (dream on), you get the idea. My passport expires in 2 weeks – how did that happen? These things are good for 10 years. Internet technology allows me to complete an online app avoiding a line at the post office – except that the Dept of State web page won’t load the form right now. Good news however: the chance to improve the ol’ mug shot. I must have broken a camera with the last photograph. Not only is it scary to look at, it’s damned near unrecognizable. Wouldn’t dare post it here.
No, I don’t take my own passport photo. I obliged a client some years ago before there was a passport photo set-up in every corner Walgreens. Took 1/2 a day to get it done with the proper background, specific lighting, exact dimensions, proper head size. Walgreens here I come.
My belated best wishes to you for a year filled with great joy and success. When you’ve got a free minute, please check out the updated website. The link is in the top menu bar as well–PORTFOLIO.
One of the new additions is the music from Triple Scoop Music. Roy, Jennifer, and Ali have rocketed their royalty free music company to the top of the charts with a lot of hard work. Only 1 minor drawback – too many great songs that had to be passed over 
.
I met the triple-scoopers, as I like to call them, two years ago at the annual Wedding Portrait Photographers International convention in Vegas. Their songs are the perfect compliment for my slideshows of photographs and the website, so I sent Roy a little write-up expressing my gratitude. He’s posted my comments in the Education Section of their website, and he let me give away some of their tunes as door prizes when I was a speaker at the Pictage Partner Conference in LA. Networking and sharing at it’s best.
I won’t embarrass myself by telling you how long it’s been since we’ve been outta town on a real life, full-blown, non-work related holiday. Finally did it this week.
Huatulco, Mexico is paradise for sure and the Hotel Villas Coral on the Pacific Ocean is quiet, quaint, and small. We’ve go a 90 minute yoga class every morning, wireless internet as needed, cold beer all day long, cigar smoking any old time and anywhere. A taxi ride to any one of several towns, villages, beaches is only $25 pesos. Could life be any better?
One taxi driver took us to his hometown of Santa Maria where we watched a carpenter put finishing touches on the town cathedral before this Friday’s festival. In the coffee plantation mountain town of Pluma Hidalgo, kids shoot hoops under an open-air but covered court.
Jeanette trusted my judgment in choosing the frozen lime bars, too sour for me. And these large black vultures hang out in the tree near our room-reminding me of Hitchcock’s film, “The Birds”.
