So Parago Photography's studio had to basically shut down for a couple of weeks, due to numerous reasons. One of them being the fact that, during the heavy rains recently, the studio ended up flooded causing us to lose the carpet, a couple of props, as well as two backdrops. It was heartbreaking, but we're trying to recover from the losses as swiftly as possible so we can be up and running again for the fast approaching Christmas picture season.
..is something wonderful anyway, regardless of whether you have a camera with you or not. In my case, it was even better, because last Wednesday I got to spend a couple of hours with three very special little people AND I happened to have my camera with me, too!
Needless to say, we ended up with dozens of gorgeous pictures, some of which you can see below. I was especially proud of five year old Aspen, who has come such a long way when it comes to having her pictures made. The first time I met her she was unbelievably shy and reserved - just look at her now. Amazing!
Hope to see you again soon!
So, last Saturday I had some very special visitors. Special because, not only are the two of them some of THE most handsome young men I've ever laid eyes on, but also because they came all the way from Alexander City, AL to have their pictures made by me! That's right, their mommies are good friends and joined up together to come see us in Hiram and oh how much fun we had!
Here are some of Carter's and Ridge's images, taken in our back yard:
We had glorious weather with not too much sun but still enough warmth and 'glow' to bathe the boys (and their moms) in wonderful light. I used a cross-processing finish on these because I love how it just makes their wonderful eye colors pop.
Hope to see you again soon, guys!
Two days later than planned, the new website is finally done! I'm very happy with it and I hope all of you like it as much as I do. Feedback is of course greatly appreciated.
We ended up changing the logo a little bit after all, simply because this new one goes much better with the clean fresh style of the website plus it will take up less space on all those wonderful prints of yours - how great is that?When you browse the new site, you will notice I added a new service: Photo Restoration.
It is still in its infancy, really (how fitting for a child photographer, dontcha think?), but I wanted to go ahead and put it out there anyway. I am by no means an expert when it comes to photo restoration and I absolutely admit I have limits but there's a lot I can do to improve and repair pictures with light to medium damage as the example in the restoration gallery show.
So, if you have that old family portrait hidden away in some drawer because aunt Lucille spilled some coffee on it back in the day or you know of someone who has a very faded portrait of a loved one hanging on the wall - please think of me and send them my way or send me an e-mail. I would love to do whatever I can to repair those treasures and keepsakes.
Let me know what you think about Parago Photography's new home on the Internet and for those of you who are interested in this kind of stuff: The site is hosted by BluDomain, who are also the developers and designers - only the fine tuning was done by us. Their stuff is truly amazing, check them out at http://www.bludomain.com
Have a great weekend everyone,

It's May - hooray!
Gosh, it has been forever since I've posted and I feel horribly bad about it. Well, now that it's May I have decided to give Parago Photography a spring makeover starting with our website, www.ParagoPhotography.com
The site will undergo a monumental overhaul: New hosting, new layout, new feel, new everything.
What remains the same is of course our URL, www.ParagoPhotography.com as well as our beautiful logo.
The new site will be lighter, cleaner, faster and overall smoother - I'm very excited about it and hope everyone will come check it out as soon as we go live with it which will be in just a couple of days.
I'll keep this short for now and promise to be back soonish with some cute little shots of one of my oldest (tee-hee) customers: Xavier, who just turned two. ;)
I had the opportunity to take a stroll through our local park with him and his mom and even though he didn't quirte feel it that morning, we ended up with a handful of adorable pictures. All that in a little bit!
