Oregon Ballet Theater Approves Ad

I am very excited about some great news today! While creating the headshots of all ballet dancers who dance at Oregon Ballet Theater, I kept thinking about a potential ad for them that would enable the general public to get to know the dancers a bit more intimately.  I contacted my ad agency friend and told him what I was thinking. He created some quick concepts, we met with the marketing team at OBT, and they liked the ad.

I than contacted the editor at 1859 Magazine, asked about potentially running the ad, and today they told me that they will be the first to run the ad.  A full page ad will run in their Winter 2010 issue.

Here is the ad.  I would like this campaign to run as a series using all of the dancers’ photos and words.  We are also looking at changing the font type to be each dancer’s handwriting instead of text.

My Daughter Brynn

Brynn and I got into the studio to make her senior portraits, and after a bit of back and forth on styling (I should hire her!) we came up with some fun shots.  Here are two that we both liked best.

Second Studio Needs Someone To Love It!

My second studio next door to the main studio could use some lovin’.  Since most of my assignments have been on location recently, the second studio is not being used as much.  I would like to find a part-time renter to share it with me.
