New faces at sketch

Thanks to everyone who recently visited the studio! We have been busy taking senior portraits, modeling shots and corporate (both on location and products.) We were honored to be selected for the Annual Hattie Larlham Sugar Bush Golf Classic to benefit Hattie. Great turnout and the weather cooperated. Hattie is a special organization that does so much for so many.

We are presently working on a new background at the studio, which will be large enough for groups of up to 15 people. We should have it completed by the end of the week-ish! We will also be offering some specials to save you some money in the "specials" section on the sketch studio of kent website.

Senior Pictures in Kent

Senior portraits are becoming a large part of sketch studio of kent. We owe thanks to all of the seniors who have trusted us with their future memories of when they were young. That's why we try to bring out the personality in each and every senior. And the process couldn't be simpler. You come in for a 15 to 20 minute consultation so we can get to know you and your interests. At that time, we can schedule a photo shoot for a future date. After the photo shoot, we post your images online in a personal, password protected gallery and let you go at it. View your images, send links to your family and friends so they can be part of the decision making process. It's fun! On a budget? We can accommodate everyone! Just give us a call to see what we can do for you. We take great pride in everything we do so all of our work is guaranteed.

Holiday Portraits

Check out the holiday portrait samples!

Happy Holidays!

Well, Thanksgiving is over and my stomach is especially thankful for that. As usual, I eat way too much, and it was absolutely delicious. I didn't want to offend the cook so I thought it was appropriate to eat a couple extra helpings!

I thought that I would post an image to showcase some of our photoshop work and to wish everyone a happy holiday. If you thought the Iguana was really wearing a Santa hat, I apologize for ruining your imagination but I like having all of my fingers! This was taken on Sanibel Island in Florida a few years ago and shows what some creativity and a lot of luck can do. As I sat on my balcony being extremely lazy, which is what you do when you're on vacation, I looked down and saw the lizard. Frantically, I ran for the camera, fortunately not injuring myself in the commotion, and with my long 300mm lens I captured one of the most beautiful creatures that I had ever seen on the island.

If you're looking for scans, retouch, collage work or photoshop work, sketchstudio of kent is the place to go to create your one of a kind gifts. We are starting to feel the holiday rush but can certainly accommodate any of your needs. If you're looking for a family portrait, give us a call at 330-608 1893 to schedule a time. We have over 200 holiday card templates to choose from so you can bring in the family and we'll do the rest! Pretty sweet.

Kent Roosevelt students pay the studio a visit

Thanks goes out to Mike McClure, photography teacher at Kent Roosevelt, for bringing in his photo 2 classes to check out the studio and get a brief description of studio photography. We had a great time and ended each class with a group shot!

Fall senior portraits at sketch studio of kent

Ahh. My favorite time of the year. Luckily, we have had many high school seniors pick this time of the year to have their senior portraits taken. The foliage is about as good as a background can get [outside that is!] and the weather has been great. Here are a few of my favs. We still have some times available this year for those interested. If you want to lock in a fall time for 2010 you can set your appointment in advance.

It's been a busy couple of weeks. Thanks to all of the high school seniors that have come into the studio recently. We truly enjoy the interaction between seniors and ourselves. Some friends accuse us of photographing seniors because were getting older and can't let go of the past! What?...Ok, maybe there is a little of that...Ok, maybe a large part...Ok, we feel old and that's totally the reason. At any rate, it's great fun listening to music, which seniors are welcome to bring in, meeting new personalities and trying to capture that personality with the camera.

sketch studio of kent received a real treat when Tia brought in her kids Jakub and Jerimiah into the studio. It's been a couple of years since the last shoot and since they both model it's time to update their comp sheets. We designed their last ones which turned out great and will be putting together the new ones once the images from the shoot are selected. Selecting the images will be tough because there were so many nice ones. Here are several.

Personalities galore!

It pays to have a warehouse as a studio. You know, just in case you want to bring in your Yamaha 250! Yeah, that's right...Gina brought in her huge dirt bike as a prop. If I were a dog I would have been wagging my tail! Thanks Gina. Good stuff. I had to post the image of my past bike, even though it's a bit embarrassing after seeing the bike Gina brought in. I guess I didn't look so cool after all. The truth is that photo is not of me at all but of Jesse Boulton, state champ motocross rider! who was also photographed in the studio with all of his trophies and gear.

We have plenty of room for whatever your needs. Large props? Band? Family of 20?... no problem. Well, you may have a bit of a rough go trying to coordinate 20 family members. That's never easy!

We are always increasing our number of props, background colors and patterns, and general capabilities at sketch studio of kent, like adding custom designed graduation cards to the list. Stop in for a consultation to see samples. All it takes is a 15-20 minute consultation with Geri or myself to explain the process and to get to know you and some of your interests. After that, we spend some time gathering ideas to make your session personalized to reflect your interests and tastes. We have been getting great feedback from everyone who visits the studio.

For those of you on a budget, our pricing structure is based on $170 session fee, which includes our detailed retouch to all of the images ordered. We take great pride in our retouch ability and have been getting great feedback on the results. After the initial session cost, the price depends on you and how many prints you want. You create your own package! The prints are amazing and can shipped directly to you.

Music Photography in Kent

Geri and I both love when we have an opportunity to hang out with musicians at the studio. Corey came in to the studio for part two of his photo shoot and fortunately brought his guitar in. We had a great time getting creative with the lighting while enjoying "The Who Sell Out" CD. Good stuff!

At sketch studio of kent, we can not only take the photo's for your new CD but we can also design the cover art.

Child Portraits at sketch studio of kent

Ava stopped in for a quick session to use for her acting/modeling projects. Good luck Ava! She was in the Hanna Montana movie and is becoming quite the celebrity! And thanks to her parents, she is really down to earth and enjoyable to be around.

At sketch studio of kent we have created several "rep" cards for those looking to become models or update your info and photo's for modeling agencies. We will take the photo's and custom design a rep card/sheet to suit your taste and personality without breaking the bank.

Roosevelt Senior Shoot

Great shoot! Harper paid a visit to the sketch studio of kent warehouse for a quick senior shoot. We went with the gray seamless paper, red wall and the blue wall [for those seniors who want a customized color...just let us know and we will create a color all of your own!] We were able to wrap things up in the time we had and came away with some great shots. Thanks Harper!
