Another Award!

Greetings!  We were honored to receive the runner-up for Photographer of the Year at this months Professional Photographers of America meeting in Austin.  Our colleagues voted and we just missed the first place...but there is always next year!  We are busy with many family portraits, as we usually are at this time of year.  Even with the slow economy it is always a good investment to have your portrait done by a professional photographer.  We make sure your portraits will last for generations to come.  Think about a gift certificate if you can't find the time this month.

Winning Print

Greetings!  We have another award winning print this month which received a 2nd place at the PPA meeting.  It is a collaboration between Jack and Monica, with the original photograph hand painted by Monica to turn it into a "virtual painting".  It is so much fun to try different effects and to surprise our clients with that "wow moment"!  Hope you like it and check out our website at Jackpuryear.com for updates.  

Tis the Season

Howdy!  Well, it is already October and that means the holiday season is right around the corner.  Sharing your self with family and friends is the hallmark of this time of year and one of the best ways to do that is with a family portrait.  For the cost of a few dinners out or a few rounds of golf you can have a family portrait that will be cherished for generations to come.  We offer payment plans for those who would like to place larger orders but may not be able to pay all a once.  So get off the couch and call us before it's to late!  And don't sweat the changing times to much...they always return to the positive.

New Gift Ideas!

Hi everyone,  well fall is here at last and the holidays are not far behind so we have a new line of really affordable, not to mention cute, gift ideas.  Each laminated plaque comes with it's own easel and can fit almost anywhere.  Check out our website for more samples.  Even if the economy is in the dumps doesn't mean you can't have some fun and share a smile with your friends and family.

Things never get boring around here that's for sure!  We went on another commercial shoot today in the sweltering heat, but as you can see the results turned out great.  This particular shoot was for a magazine cover dealing with business technology, which may sound boring but can actually be quite interesting.  Especially after Jack gets done with the photos!  It's funny, nobody thinks that they are very photogenic until we show them the results and what can be done by a creative team of artists.  Does that sound like someone you know?  Give us a chance to prove it to you, check out our website at:  www.jackpuryear.com or give us a call at (512)260-8400.  Keep cool now and we look forward to your calls or comments...Thanks for reading our blog!

Man is it hot

We don't need to tell you how hot it is out there...it's a real challenge to keep the place green, although with photo-shop any brown grass can be greened up!  Jack is a real genius at that and can make anything look it's best.  This weekend we are headed to the Cedar Park Chamber of Commerce Expo and will have a booth to show everyone what we can do.  So, come on out to the Cedar Park High School and check it out...they have air conditioning there and lot's of fun.

First Place Photo!

Last night Jack and I won first place at the monthly Professional Photographers meeting in Austin, TX.  It is our second win this year and much deserved as Jack works very hard to create very unique images.  This one is entitled "The Swimmer" and can be seen below.

Hi there,  it's time to start thinking about family portraits for the Holidays...even though it is 100 degrees outside!  Jack and I are getting booked already for the late summer and early fall season, so call us soon.  This month we have a 1/2 price session for families and also in October, which is family portrait month.  You know in these times of a down economy nothing is worth more than your family and a quality portrait is an investment in your family.  Hope to see you soon...keep cool and be kind. 512-260-8400

We just did a photo shoot the other week with Jack's nephew Jordan who is a senior at Westwood high school and also a swimmer.  Jack shot Jordan on our high-key background and then added the other photos from a shoot he did in Venezuela about ten years ago.  The effect is very cool as you can see and turns the portrait into a work of art!

Hello everyone, this is our first entry on our new blog and we are excited to share with you all the wonderful things we are doing around here.  This is the first year that we have a children's secret garden just for kids to have their portraits taken, it is a really cute area that is enclosed with a wrought iron fence and has two distinct areas.  One is with a willow bench and is filled with plants that remind me of an English garden, the other side has a small wooden bridge with more tropical looking plants, sort of like the beach!  We have also built a stone bench that is really cool for the senior portraits as well as a funky turquoise bench.  Jack is also planning a rather large pond to go out front for family portraits, but that will have to wait until the weather cools off a bit.  So, as you can see we are busy around here and looking forward to the new group of 2009 seniors this summer and fall.  Check out our website at Jack@jackpuryear.com and give us a call!
