{What is Custom Photography?} Sheridan, Wyoming Photographers

I was browsing one of my friend’s blogs today (Yvonne Niemann: check her out!) and I found this article that she had linked to. And although I’ve seen similar articles around and about, I hadn’t really taken the time to read through it entirely – and I thought it would be beneficial to share here.

I often wonder if others know what exactly goes into their custom portrait session, the time that is involved and the heart that goes into creating their artwork. The shutter release is only the very beginning of the hours that are spent behind the scene culling, editing, communicating, ordering, packaging, delivering, not to mention the education, bookkeeping, scouting locations, purchasing the best professional gear on the market…the list goes on.

Photography IS art. It’s beautiful, timeless, emotive and should become the heirlooms that are passed down through the generations of your family. I love the fact that I get to create artwork for people. And that the artwork features their most prized, precious and heart-felt treasure: their family.

Food for thought. =) Happy Thursday!

And on an entirely different note, I thought I’d pull one from the archives; this family has been in my thoughts lately as they fly to Ethiopia this week to bring home their 4 newest kiddos!!!

Put this incredible family in your Google Reader, follow them, support them and send up a little prayer for them!

Their blog is HERE.

Thank you to everyone who sent your well wishes and thoughts over the past week. Two days after my last post, Sophia was admitted to the hospital for dehydration due to Rotavirus. And may I just say, that is the nastiest virus EVER! Sheesh. Luckily, we were just there 2 days letting the IV do its job while the virus ran its course – it was a long couple of days and nights!

However, we are home. Happy. Hydrated. Playing. And LOVING this gorgeous weather!! I shot this a few minutes ago because the blooms on the trees are just too pretty to miss.

I also wanted to mention that the website for Legacy Pregnancy Center is now live, and you can check it out here:

www.legacypregnancy.org

I was excited to help this organization in any way possible and had a lot of fun working on the donor side of the website. Stop by and if you are able, support this organization!! =)

On a side note, I have obviously had to reschedule and postpone several sessions recently, so stay tuned for a slew of posts…from newborns and families to boudoir, there will be something for everyone! Thanks for stopping by!

Just had to post quickly about a SWEET give-away over at EPIPHANIE!!!

They are hosting a give-away for either a 5D Mark II or a $2500 certificate to Southwest Airlines!

WOW. I am crossing all my fingers and toes for this one. Head on over to enter!!

And because a post isn’t a post without a picture, I thought I’d post something that reminds me of spring. As if the grass-green paint I just rolled on in my kitchen isn’t enough to give me spring fever, this is one of my very favorite things about summertime!!!

keep telling myself that spring is just around the corner, when really, I’m in complete denial that we may very well have two months left of winter here in Wyoming. Ah well, the kids will be running around in their swim suits, popsicles in hand soon enough – I can’t wait!

For the past few years, my dad (who is also a photo lover) and I have been toying with the idea of traveling all over the Big Horns by ATV, capturing all the wildlife, landscapes and beauty of Wyoming that we possibly can, and then making Fine Art prints available through Alissa Ferullo Photography to our community and beyond. It’s still a dream, but WILL come to fruition one of these days. Anyway, after a big rainstorm the other day and a cancelled shoot, I decided to snap off 5 photos of whatever I saw on the way home. And this was one of them. Nothing fancy, just an everyday scene in Wyoming.
