Today, I had the chance to shoot for good friends, John & Donna and their beautiful daughters Jordan & Karli.  John and Donna are local entrepreneurs and founders of their very successful business, Sticky Fingers Apples.  I have watched John and Donna start their business from the ground up, starting  just over a year or two ago, and now sell hundreds and hundreds of apples each month on a national level.  They have recently sold apples to major sports teams in the NFL, accept major wedding orders, and were featured in their own segment on Fox 23 News…. I’d say they are doing quite well!  Aside from making some of the most amazing candy apples and other goodies you have ever tasted, they are really such good people and awesome to do business with.  To be honest, I wish they would just find another photographer to shoot their products, since I always end up eating stuff I shouldn’t :)

John and Donna have added some new stuff to their menu, which is why we shot some updated photos for their website (and a new family portrait).  Those of you that are getting married and want to try something different, I would suggest contacting them about doing a dessert spread for you (I promise your guests will go nuts).  I asked John and Donna if they would give me my own promo code to offer our blog readers for a discount, and of course they were happy to do so!

You can check out their website at www.stickyfingersapples.com,   Here’s a few samples of what they offer and be sure to check em out for all their mouth watering options.  If you think these photos look good, you should taste the stuff – unbelievable!

P.S. For you photography fanatics, I shot these images with the new Canon 5D Mark II camera and am pretty impressed with the quality of the images this thing can throw out.

(Here’s a quick shot of Jamaica doing his famous lighting test before the shoot – Haha!)

Here’s a quick vintage & HDR style image I was playing around with from the Matt & Lauren Wedding…..

We now offer varius frames styles, colors and sizes – We can also do either a white or black mat to give your favorite photo a more professiona look.  All framed images come ready to hang and even have special, glare-free glass!  Until I can get this option built into the websites, please feel free to let me know if you need help ordering this….. many of the prints ordered require a custom frame from a framing store that cost hundreds of dollars and two weeks to get back…. this is a great way to get your item framed an matted faster and at a fraction of the price!  Here are a few samples to show you some of the frames we can do:

Sometimes I’m shooting for the vision I see in my head, other times I’m just shooting away in a photojournalistic way.  This one was meant to be photojournalistic, but it’s funny how sometimes those are the ones that become art, rather than just a picture.  Here’s an HDR style shot I played around with tonight and really liked – you’ll have to help me in deciding which color version you like better?  I think I prefer the blueish tint since it’s different than what I would normally do, but I find myself going back and forth.
