As I have mentioned before, part of what I do is called stock photography.  This could either be images or shoots that are set up specifically for stock purposes – or it could be people that do a “non-stock” session but then sign model releases, allowing me to use it for stock afterwards. 

What is stock photography, you ask?  These are images that are taken with advertising/marketing campaigns in mind.  When a business puts together a brochure or billboard – they often use stock photography.  It can be used in several different mediums – and unfortunately as a photographer you are never sure where it ends up!

However…there has been a stock sighting!! I was just made aware of this on the weekend – but this is a family that I shot a couple of years ago…and now this image is being used for the article and the cover!

So fun!

If you have any interest in modelling or having your shoot be considered for stock photography – please contact me at info@uncontainedphotography.com

Thanks!

Uncontained Photography has been having a lot of fun with our page on facebook.  We are currently sitting at almost 300 fans and love this tool to be close and in touch with people that are interested in photography as well as other photographers.

It is the fastest and easiest way to see the latest projects, hear about specials, upcoming trips and generally what is going on.

Feel free to be a fan and get in on the action!

Families….

They are the group of people we love the most.

The ones that we laugh with.

The ones that we cry with. 

Our families allow us to be most like ourselves, as they love us unconditionally and accept us for who we are. 

Families are a source of strength, comfort, joy and celebration.

The majority of our memories are made – and shared – with our family.

In honor of Family Day – and just families in general – our family sessions are now on sale for $99 until the end of this month.  This sale applies to all family sessions that are booked this month (they do not necessarily have to be shot this month) – and also to gift certificates for family sessions.

Often people comment on how they haven’t had a family picture in years – or even ever at all. There are also those that have had a loved one pass away…..and wish more than anything to have a picture of everyone together. This absolutely breaks my heart as families are so special and are something that we need to capture and cherish.

PLEASE take the time to cherish, celebrate and capture your family.

From one who loves her family more than words can express,

Christine

 

And last, but definitely not least – I need to include a picture that I took of my immediate family and I (fall 2008)

The Fort McMurray Christmas Shopping Market took place at the Syncrude Sports & Wellness Center this past weekend and I was excited to have Uncontained Photography be a part of it!

What fun it was to meet so many fantastic people and to introduce them to my company and work!

A special thanks goes to Sheri, Jennifer and Erin for taking the time on a FREEZING weekend (temps were -30 to -40C) to come and help me with the booth….not to mention my wonderful husband for all of his help and for always having a warm car ready and waiting!

Looking forward to seeing you at the Fort McMurray Spring Women’s Show (May 14-16, 2010) !

Are you still working on your Christmas list? – or perhaps struggling to find that “perfect” gift for that certain someone? 

Let Uncontained Photography help make your shopping easy!  Our beautiful gift certificates are available and are completely uncontained….meaning that you can determine what it is for.  Perhaps it is a monetary value to be used towards a shoot or prints – or it could be specifically for a session or prints.  It is completely up to you!

Remember all of those photography possibilities….. the couple(s) who is getting engaged over the winter and need engagement pictures and wedding coverage…… a family who has never had a family portrait taken – or perhaps desperately needs an updated one……a couple that is expecting and would like to do a pregnancy shoot and/or a newborn session….someone who is celebrating a milestone birthday, accomplished a weight-loss goal or just wants to feel good about how they look.  The list of possibilities is endless!

Dare to think out of the box,

Christine
