What to Expect:
Please note that these are being taken at a park, and that I will have you/your kids running, playing, laying or sitting on the ground- these are NOT stiff studio portraits. This portrait session is meant to capture your family's true, fun, interactive energy. I take pictures in purposeful way that will make for great wall collages, or solo displays- probably by starting off with a basic family portrait, some shots of just the kids, and some of just mom n dad- and anything else we may have time for (i.e. individual shots of the kids- these will only be done IF we have time).
The "look" you want is up to you- just make sure the clothing is washable! :) My #1 suggestion: choose a color palette, and pick out clothing that fits in that palette- you don't have to wear the exact same outfits to make your pictures "look right". In fact, this gives you and your kids the opportunity to wear your own style, while still looking well-coordinated.
If you want a more classic look: keep to neutral colors- browns, grays, whites, etc. and jeans/khakis or skirts
If you want an edgier look: have a solid main color (like black) mixed with a color that "pops" like yellow, turqoise, or red.
If you want a more formal look: flowy skirts/dresses look great with sandals or bare feet, and button-down shirts with top button undone and jeans makes for an easy-going style for the guys while still looking formal.
Try to avoid lots of patterns- if everyone wears plaid, even if it's the exact same, it can get a little overwhelming to look at.

You CAN bring your own props! Balloons, blankets, toys, hats, chairs, books, whatever is special to your family. (You may include your family pet- animals are allowed at this park- there is an extra $20 charge added to your session fee- just please let me know at least 24 hours in advance- and you are responsible for taking care of and restraining your pet- thank you!)

I will have your pictures ready in 2-4 weeks, depending on how many families sign up for the day. Slots will fill up quickly, so contact me as soon as you can! Thank You!

New at Ebeling Art Studio

Photo Art on Metal!
For ordering information, please email "Josh" at EASmetalphoto@gmail.com.
Available in single image (one sheet of visible metal) or dual image (two sheets of visible metal)

All sizes come with rounded corners for a beautiful finished look, plus a "floating mount" with rubber grips to create a space between the wall and the print. (except for wallet sized prints- you want them to fit inside your wallet, so those are left flat :)

Detail of dual image print:

These are created through a process called "sublimation"- the photo becomes PART of the metal! If you are interested in how you can get a metal print (even if your pictures are not done by EAS!) please email "Josh" at EASmetalphoto@gmail.com. These are only available by special order.
