Well, I guess it’s official. My past week has been extremely busy wrangling a nice website together, prepping documents and information for my first release of Lightroom Presets. Presets are like actions for Photoshop, just better. For all you photographers, take a gander at the new site and see what it’s all about. They have been a hit so far and its been 2 days. We’ll be adding more products in the next coming months, like actions that mimic my current presets (even though Lightroom is far better for processing) for all you die-hard Photoshop users.
Here’s the site, check it out: www.presetopia.com

. . . when the kids get all crazy about dressing up and hitting the neighborhoods for their insatiable appetite for sweets that will rot their teeth out. At least that’s what my parents warned me would happen if I ate too much sweets. Thankfully, I still have some of my teeth 
I had a quick impromptu mini photo shoot with a beautiful model the other day, just so happens it kind of ties in to this whole Halloween costume stuff. Thought I’d share a couple of quick pics. Pretty cool stuff if you ask me

I want to thank all those who participated in Jessica & Josh’s Wedding this past Saturday at the Stillwell House! I think it would be an understatement to say that it was a very special event, and one rockin’ party! If you are coming here to view their photographs of the event, they will be online approximately one week after the wedding, so most likely by this coming Saturday! To view them, go to: spencerboerup.com/proofs, and enter the password that was given to you. You can email me for any more questions! Thanks again . . .
BTW, here’s a quick sneak peak until they are all ready . . . (check back on Wednesday at the latest!!!)

OK, since I haven’t blogged in about 4 weeks, many have asked me if I have contracted some infectious disease, fallen off the earth or just lost hope. LUCKILY, none of the latter. I’ve been preparing for and working on a project that was conceived around that same time . . . and it was such an adventure! One of my absolute favorite couples I have worked with (and have become really great friends along the way) are Amber & Carraig. I shot their engagement pictures back in May in the U.S. Virgin Islands on St. Croix. WOW! If you didn’t see their pics, do a quick search for them it’s worth it.
Anyway, Carraig’s birthday is today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!) and Amber wanted to surprise him with something unique, very special and from the heart. Supposively Carraig is the world’s best at surprises, so she had to do something cool. Luckily I came to the rescue with a super cool idea for a photo shoot of just Amber, and one of Carraig’s favorite things, snakes. Yes, Amber and a large 6ft Columbian Boa. So, unbeknownsted to Carraig, we made plans for her to fly out from Texas, arrive a day before his birthday, do an awesome photo shoot with the snake, get it printed and framed in time for a grande surprise the following day. Whew, I had a blast and it was absolutely one of the funnest shoots I’ve ever been on. I’m glad it’s over now because it consumed a lot of my anxiety, I couldn’t wait for it to come :) Thanks again Amber!!!
So, in case you jumped straight to here, this is what happens when you have awesome clients that let you take complete creative control to create something electrifying:

I don’t get a whole lot of requests for professional business portraits in Tucson, usually because it’s often something I overlook on the marketing end. I don’t consider these “run and gun” type of jobs but approach them with the same care and attention as any other type of portrait.
Many business professionals overlook such an important role a professional portrait can be. Potential customers can make a more personal connection on many levels if you use your portrait on your website, business cards, marketing materials, etc . . . It puts a face to a name. Most professionals understand this concept, BUT, I know lots of people (and I’m sure you do to) that have really bad pictures. A bad picture is WORSE than no picture. Know anyone that hasn’t said “cheese” in a while? I promise I’ll never make you say that though.
Just thought I’d show a few recent examples 
Based on their portraits, how many of these people would you NOT want to meet? I hope your portrait is doing work for you in ways you never thought, and hopefully not working against it’s goal.

You don’t get any closer to being fine-art than these. I have been wanting to create some really high-end super classy invitations for quite some time because they are really in a league of their own. I have done thank-you cards before for families, but these are on the top of the high-end “invitation-food-chain”. Printed on a high quality art linen paper, these are a classic 4 panel accordion fold. Utilizing both sides, couples can elegantly display their beautiful engagement pictures along with their wedding invitations. Amber & Carraig went the extra mile with an extra custom “Reception Card” to leave details for the reception. This smaller card is the size of 1 single panel of the invitation, but this allows to have a magnet strip on the back so that the Reception information can be left on a fridge or bulletin board (or something magnetic).
All the invitations come with custom parchment style envelopes as well, enough for double envelopes if you wish as well. So, if you know someone who wants an elite approach to their custom wedding announcements or invitations, just have them get in touch. We will definitely hook them up.
