Summer Portrait Special

Hey Everyone!

As many of you know, I’ve had a very eventful spring working on video projects, catching up on several photo events, teaching and oh yes, getting married! As a result, I haven’t been shooting anywhere near my FDA recommended daily dose of fun portraits.

Ordinarily I charge a minimum of $250 for a standard portrait shoot but to celebrate summer, 4th of July and the upcoming CONvergence event, I’m lowering my portrait session prices to just $100! I don’t want to be stuck in a stuffy studio so I’m hoping to do these on-location somewhere, something that we can work together to find so that it fits the kind of images that you’re looking for too. The only catch is that we have to schedule it between now and CON, which is 4th of July weekend, so you should contact me right away to get your shoot appointment on the books! If you want to see some of my work, the best places are either on one of my online portfolios (such as the one on my website) or on Facebook. Don’t be intimidated by some of the images you seethere, I work with people from all walks of life, from fashion models to families with kids and/or pets.

I especially want to hear from you if you happen to be a cosplayer, as I LOVE shooting cosplay! I’m a beginner cosplayer myself and I have so much fun working with those who want to capture the awesomeness of their newest work. With CONvergence and the San Diego Comic Con both coming up shortly, I know there are at least a few of you out there putting the finishing touches on your outfits and need some great photos of the whole thing!

You’ll get two hours of shooting time, all delivered images will be edited to ensure maximum quality and finish, and the completed high resolution images can be delivered either electronically or via DVD for an additional $10.

Had the coolest dream last night…

It was a Doctor Who/Star Trek/HHGTTG crossover in which the Fourth Doctor was traveling with Arthur Dent (as played by the guy from the original BBC series) when they were suddenly attacked by Khan and his forces, which included naked female assassins.
 

I should probably note that the naked female assassins totally didn’t strike Dream Drayke as being unusual, which probably means I spend entirely too much time on deviantArt and Tumblr.

 

I wonder what that all means? (Other than the fact that I need to learn how to make music so that I can somehow recreate the awesome theme song that played throughout the dream!)

 

I think a clueless Dent would make a great companion in terms of story exposition!

 

Khan just makes the best villain for everything.

 

How awesome would that episode/movie be? Feel free to write short episode synopses in the comments!
