We'll have limited senior sessions available this summer, so please get in touch with me soon if you are (or are a parent of) a senior graduating in 2020.
Sophia
Sophia is a dancer at The Studio, and active in theater. Her session took us to a nearby theater, City Island, and downtown Harrisburg.
Delaney
Delaney is a dancer at The Studio. We captured some dance portraits in the studio, then ventured to a nearby park and the Susquehanna river to round out her session.
Megan - Cumberland Valley senior
Megan is a long-time dancer at The Studio, so I've taken many of her dance portraits, but this was our first opportunity to work together on a longer session. We shot in some locations around Harrisburg and the Susquehanna River that I hadn't before.
Studio spring 2017 dance photos are ready!
Thank you to the Studio's dancers and families for your support during picture week. All photos are now uploaded to The Studio's gallery page at SmugMug. The password was provided on the handout. Please let me know if you have any questions, and have a great Easter weekend!
Kordell - Cedar Cliff senior
Kordell plays nose tackle, and while he wasn't interested in a photo in his three-point stance, he was willing to wear his jersey for one of his portraits. He was great to work with.
Philip - Mechanicsburg senior
Philip is the third member of his family to have his senior portraits taken at Long Shots, and his session provided an opportunity to incorporate his baseball uniform and equipment. It's been a pleasure to work with his family over the years.
Ten years!
It dawned on me recently that Long Shots Pro Photo has been in business for over ten years! Many thanks to all of you who sought me out for your family and senior portraits over the years, as well as to the Studio parents and dancers who patiently endured lengthy dance picture days (and nights). It's been a pleasure to work with you all, and I hope you are still enjoying the resulting photos.The photo above is from my first high school portrait session in 2007. A few months later, Kelsi was my first senior portrait customer, and just last summer I took a few photos at her wedding!
PCCA Annual Juried Exhibition Entries
Recital Weekend!
Hi, Studio parents. While you're waiting for the performance to start or the intermission to end, feel free to browse the 2016 performance photos. If your dancer's trading cards sold out, you can order them from the gallery this weekend only at recital pricing.I hope you enjoy the performance. Thank you for your support this year!
New for 2016 Studio recitals: Trading cards
During the past couple of years, folks have expressed to us how they missed having the candy bar keepsakes (with dancer photos on them) from the dance recitals. I spent some time thinking of something we could produce to replace them, and after putting together a workflow that allowed us to do so almost 800 times, we're ready to share the idea with you.The 2016 recitals will include the debut of Studio trading cards. They will be available in sheets of four; the photo printer-friendly size of 5" x 7" will exactly accommodate four baseball card-sized (2.5" x 3.5") trading cards.Each card includes the Studio logo, the year, and the recital logo. We wanted to keep them inexpensive, so for the weekend of the recital they will be $4 per page ($1 per trading card). After the recital weekend, the price will go up to the standard 5x7 print cost.Due to the size and orientation of the group shots, they are not available as trading cards, but almost all of the individual and friend photos we took on picture days will be represented (over 700 of them, which will be sorted into separate bins by age group). Each page contains four identical trading cards, so you'll have extras to share with friends and family, or to trade with fellow dancers. (You might want to bring a pair of scissors--provided you don't run with them-- to the recital to cut out the individual cards, and a marker to add an autograph.)In case the cards you are seeking sell out, a SmugMug gallery will have all of the cards available for order at the same special pricing (plus shipping and handling) during the recital weekend.The prints were produced using a dye sublimation printer on glossy photo paper. I think you'll be pleased with the quality and look forward to your feedback. We hope that Studio trading cards become a pleasant addition to your recital weekend tradition.
#saucermagnoliaproject at PCCA juried exhibition
One of the photos from my project on saucer magnolias was chosen for the first juried exhibition by the Perry County Council of the Arts. A 12x18 print of #saucermagnoliaproject239 (one of the first I've printed and framed myself) will be on display at the Landis House in Newport from October 9, 2015, to January 22, 2016.
Looking for Studio performance photos?

Gabby - East Pennsboro senior
Gabby is a long-time Studio dancer, and was a great senior to work with. These are just a few of the best portraits from her session.
Erika - Susquenita senior
A few years ago, I had the pleasure of working with Erika's sister Megan, who was also a gymnast. Erika's specialty is the bars, which offered the opportunity to capture some different aspects of the gym. The chalk was her idea, and a good one.
