Moppin and Shipman Families – 12/19/20

Esther Shipman is a long time client of our studio!! With all the Coronavirus Craziness, it’s been a long process to get her daughter Julie’s family photographed, but we finally made it happen.  We did the session on location and also set up a formal background to do College Graduation Cap and Gown photographs of Mitchell, since he had not had them done back in the spring.  We made it happen for Grandma Shipman and Mom and Dad. I have had the pleasure and opportunity to photograph all three of Esther’s grand boys, Mitchell being the last one to graduate college! Congratulations Mitchell!!!  We have also done numerous family sessions in the past years!  Again, Esther and Julie, thank you so much for the opportunity to capture the history of your families!

Foreman Family – 10/21/20

The Foreman family is no stranger to our studio.  We have photographed all three daughters, the family multiple times, and now we are photographing the grand children.  Last year we did the 1st grand baby’s 1-year-old photos and this year we did the 2nd grand baby’s 1-year-old photos, plus updating the family portraits.  Tiffany, thank you so very much for the opportunity to continue photographing your growing family!  You have the cutest grand babies!  It’s always a pleasure working with all your family members!

Guess Family – 10/17/20

Let me tell you, we had fun photographing the Guess family.  They kept us guessing…  Just Kidding!  As you can see, there is quite a variety of groupings that can be done with families to add variety for your wall displays!  We are fortunate to have an indoor studio, since the weather was not in our favor on this day.  Lisa had booked her family several weeks back.  Thank you Lisa and Paul for the opportunity to photograph your family!

Doug and Wendy Yanez – 9/26/20

Doug is my son and Wendy is my daughter-in-law!  When my son called me to ask if I would do a portrait session of him and Wendy with a vintage pickup that Wendy’s dad passed on to them, how could I refuse!  Also to be included were the three doggies.  Cute Doggies!  OK, you guys are cute also.  Enjoy the pics!  Check Out The Vintage Look On The One Image!  Cool, Huh?

Bowman Family – 2/29/20

It’s always a great pleasure when a long time client like the Bowman family comes back to update their family portrait!! When Brad called and scheduled their family session, he wanted it to be a secret for his wife Kathy.  The portrait session was a surprise for her 60th Birthday and their 35th Anniversary! Their two sons, one in the Air Force and one in the Navy, both are pilots and they flew in for the occasion.  The session also included Brad and Kathy’s daughter as well as two spouses and the four grand boys!  I had the opportunity to photograph this family 10 years ago – Check Out The Composite that was made from that session!  WOW!  What an honor it is to have them return for updated portraits!  Thank you all so very much for remembering us! Again, you can see the variety that can be done with your family session!  One more item to add to this wonderful story…  You can see in one of the images, Brad presented Kathy with a beautiful necklace.  You can see her pulling it out of the box!!!!

Esther Shipman With Grandchildren – 1/1/20

Esther and the Shipman family have been long time clients of our studio! Having photographed their families and all three grand boys and other family functions. We did this session in Esther’s home.

This session with her grandchildren had LOTS of meaning for Esther (grandma)! She’s been trying to get this done for about five years! With all the boys being in college and now working, well you get the picture!

Esther had called and said that New Years Day 2020 is the only day she could get the three boys together and asked if we did sessions on holidays. I just couldn’t say no to Esther, especially when she’s been trying for so long. We love it when established clients call us. It’s What A Professional Studio Strives For In Our Careers – Repeat Elite Clients! It’s About 83% Of Our Studio Work!!! Thank you Esther and Grand Boys for the opportunity once again! It’s always a pleasure!

Shipman Grandchildren – Continued

While photographing her and the boys with her dogs, Esther suggested the idea for the image shown here. She has wall decor collages of all three grandchildren for their senior portraits. Harrison graduated in 2011, Tyler in 2014, and Mitchell in 2016. She wondered if we could do something with the display to tell a story. Of course we can! That’s What We Are All About Here At Rudy’s For The Past 30 Years, Creating Wall Decor Memories For Our Clients To Enjoy For A LifeTime! You Can’t Do That With A Flash Drive! Again, thank you for the opportunity, Esther!

Ponak Family – 10/19/19

Thank you to Lori Ponak (MOM) for once again putting her trust in us to photograph Reece, Erin, and Baby Mia! We did Reece’s senior photographs several years back! This session was exciting from the stand point that Reece clued me in ahead of time that he was going to propose to Erin During The Photography Session and he wanted to have it captured! Erin had no clue! That was part of the excitement of the session, as you can see in some of the images. We also captured their beautiful baby, Mia! Again, you can see the variety that can be done with your family session! Reece and Erin, you have a beautiful baby girl that gets her beauty from both of YOU! Lori, again, thank you so much for the opportunity!

Edwards Family – 7/27/19

It’s hard to believe that we did the Edwards Family 10 years ago for their 40th Anniversary. Leslie and Barbara are celebrating their 50th Anniversary in December but wanted to get ahead of the game. So, it was time to get all the family together again! This session was done here in our 3-Acre Outdoor Portrait Area. Again, you can see the variety that can be done with your family portraits here at Rudy’s. Barbara had a wonderful suggestion… She requested to have an individual of each one of the family members! GREAT IDEA BARBARA! Thank you, again, so much for the opportunity and for thinking of us once again to do your beautiful family!
