Denver Photoshoots!

MicheleSchanker — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 03:50:08 +0000

Hello Denver Folks!

So I’ve been here a month now and am loving the Denver life. This is one fantastic city. I can’t help but notice all these great locations for photoshoots. With that said I am planning on starting up photo shoots on a very limited basis. This is a great time to start planning for those holiday presents and holiday cards. To get things started I am offering the same “sale” session prices that I offered before I left California. Basically the 1 hour photoshoot is only $125! This is regularly $200. This price will be good as long as you book by Sept 1st! So shoot me an email or give me a call to book your date.

BOOM BOOM POW

4th of July in Denver was actually kind of rainy. Luckily there was a fireworks show on the 3rd of July about 3 blocks from where we are living. So off we went with the camera gear to check it out. We were at a great location right off the Cherry Creek Bike Path. I’m loving that we’re living the city life right now. Its so easy to get places and we don’t even have to drive.

The Wonderful Rockies

Well, I made it to Denver! As I may be taking a short break from doing portraits and weddings while we get situated out there. I am still out wandering and taking photos. I can’t fully put the camera down! Last weekend we went hiking at Loveland Pass. Here is some of what I saw on the hike.

Denver Bound!

It is finally official and I am relocating to Denver Colorado next week! I’ve been on a bit of a photography hiatus in Cali while I figured out what was going on and prepared for the move. But next Friday I get in my car and drive to Colorado. I know that may be a bit of a bummer to some Californians and for that I do apologize. For those of you that live in Denver, I will most likely continue my photography hiatus while I get settled in Colorado and to spend some time with my husband since we’ve lived in separate states for the past 7 months. But feel free to contact me and I’ll give you an updated status.

Lancaster in the Spring

MicheleSchanker — Fri, 07 May 2010 04:53:57 +0000

This will be my last spring in Lancaster, CA. Spring is one of the only “pretty” times in the desert since all the wildflowers bloom and the desert itself turns kind of green after all the winter rain. Being that my photography skills have improved a lot over the years and I will most likely never see this again, I made myself get up at 6am on a Sunday morning to go a photo safari of the Antelope Valley. If you haven’t got this already, I am moving to Denver, CO VERY SOON!!!! Hopefully before mother nature turns on the furnace and our days start reaching 100+ degrees.

Here are a few of the photos I captured over the weekend.

One of my faves!

RELOCATING!

It is official, finally! Michele Schanker Photography is relocating to Denver, CO! I am really excited about doing photography in Colorado. The ideas are already brewing in my head. If you live in Denver, look for my discounted specials after I get settled this summer. If you’re on Twitter follow us as I will announce my specials there first.

I look forward to meeting everyone in the Denver area.

A Taste of Scotland in California

Today I ventured out with some friends to a Scottish Festival. I have been to Scotland and just loved everything about it..from the accents to the kilts to the shortbread. So I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to go enjoy some bagpipe music.

Palmdale Library Family Session [The Slideshow]

MicheleSchanker — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 00:44:05 +0000

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing some family in Palmdale, CA. Tracy and Jake were clients of mine a few years ago when I was just trying to get things started. I got some great experience from that shoot and learned a lot. I have definitely come a long way since then. Since I am getting ready to relocate to Denver, CO Tracy wanted to get some updated photos of her and her son. This time she also brought along her brother to add into the mix. We had a lot of fun and some good light. So on to the slideshow.

Palmdale, CA Photographer – Family Session

I had a fabulous evening session with this family last night….a mom, a son, and a brother. I did photos for Tracy and Jake a few years ago, when I was just starting out! I can’t believe I’m actually sharing this! Click here.

Boy have I come a long way!
