We met up with the Great Lakes Sox at Captain’s Stadium a few weeks ago and did their team/individual photos and action shots. Stacey and I (yes, my wife, Stacey went with me and was the second shooter on the 3rd base side… she did really good) left just when the rain started and the score was tied 4-4. The Sox pulled it out though and won 11-4… good job guys! Enjoy these designs from the event.

A Sporty & Fun Senior Picture Party (a.k.a. “The 6-person double-twin event”)
We met up with Francine, Matt, Chris, Brian, John & Ryan yesterday for their senior picture party. You see, they’ve been close friends since they were little kids. Even though they are split up between 3 high schools now (Lake Catholic, Benedictine and St. Ignatius), they’re still a pretty tight group. They’re all involved in sports and I think it shows.
Can you guess which are the 2 sets of twins?
PS – Watch out for the captain!!!

























And finally, here’s the Captain!

FYI – If you’d like to get some great additional discounts like these folks did (and have fun in the process), contact us about having your senior picture party with us too. We think you’ll be glad you did!
One of my “Babies” Leaves Home… For Good!
Well, we gave her a good (although very short) upbringing and now it’s time for her to leave our home and go find her own place in this world. NO… Not one of my three girls! A portrait of the Lou Gehrig Red baseball team from New York.
We met at the GLBL Memorial Day Tournament in Mentor, Ohio and the team chose to purchase one of our hottest new products… the team pano (short for panorama). When I brought the finished product in to show my girls, they stopped playing Webkinz on the computer and shouted out “cool” and “awwwhhhhhhsome” and “who’s is that?”. It’s a good feeling to see that someone else likes it as much as I do.

Well, she’s a 16″x36″ beauty, who will find a new home in New York. The only thing I can say to her in parting is “I’ll miss you baby. Go make me proud!”

That’s a lot of numbers, but that’s what it took to capture action images at the GLBL Memorial Day Tournament this past weekend. At the event, we saw some old friends and customers and met some new ones too. In an earlier post, we showed you some of our action pictures, so this time I thought I would show you some images of baseball from another viewpoint of the game… let’s call it a more artistic one. It’s there all the time, but we may rarely notice it. I hope you enjoy our tribute to “America’s pasttime” below… cheers!





Lastly, here are a few collages we put together. Remember, if you would like our professional staff (myself included) to provide photography services for your team/league or to attend your event, please let us know and we’ll be happy to discuss it with you. Enjoy these last two images!
Take care until next time, Tim


A Wet Baseball Weekend at the GLBL Early-Bird Qualifier
This past weekend (Friday, Saturday AND Sunday to be exact) we were at the GLBL Early-Bird Qualifier baseball tournament in Richmond Heights and Painesville. 37 teams scheduled for multiple games at multiple locations over 3 days. After the rain cancelled a few games and sent a few teams “packing”, baseball got back underway mid-way through Saturday.
Below are a few images of “America’s Favorite Pasttime”, our booth and some other things that caught our eye… oh yeah… and the mud!
(This wasn’t the way I was planning on breaking in a new pair of tennis shoes, but the show must go on!)

2-finger fastball?
“The Tools of the Trade”… I love how the light was highlighting all the different colors and designs on these bats in the dugout!

Here’s a catcher looking over to the dugout
And away it goes!

This guy’s at the ready and looking good in his colorful shades

This is our crew between games hangin’ out at our booth and refueling for the next hour of games. A special thanks go out to Cari, Jennifer, Stacey (my lovely wife), Jessica, Kristin and Tim (sorry Tim, ladies first)!
At the ready…
Eyeing up the ball just before contact…

Here’s an example of a custom-designed 8×10 collage that we are offering for this tournament… looks good doesn’t it?

Lastly, I leave you with an image of this guy. What is he doing at a baseball tournament you ask? We are asking the same thing. He would fly over the fields very low back-and-forth. He even dropped a little toy army man with a parachute that sailed down and landed right on the field. They had to stop the game and a little boy ran out to get it. I’m sure it was his “prize” for being at the tournament all weekend for his big brother.

Hope you enjoyed it! We’ll talk soon. Tim
