Nicole and Scott - May 16th, 2015
Click through to see the SloMo creation on YouTube!
What a blast – photo booth and SloMo video booth in one for Scott and Nicole. The SloMo video booth is a little tough to figure out, but these guys took right to it – see for yourself what you think!
Here’s a link to their video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/bhcHoiL_dk4
The regular photobooth experience uses great props, and we have been well received all along the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, down to Virginia and beyond (we are headed to Maryland this week)!
We also do commercial and portrait work!
Please, Google - Stop those annoying phone calls - the truth
Not all phone calls from people claiming to be associated with Google are legitimate.
The only noes you may receive a phone call from Google to verify your business (probably after you requested verification) or to confirm business details for Google Maps, or a call from a Google account manager, following up, one whom you’ve spoken with before.
Learn more about reporting and protecting yourself from robocalls
Google does NOT:
- charge for inclusion in Google My Business or in Google Search.
- offer to improve your search ranking or manage your business’s online profile.
- ask you for your password or verification code. You should never provide sensitive information about your account (like your password and verification code) to a caller.
If you receive a robocall—a call placed with a recorded voice—for any of the above reasons, it is not from Google. The Federal Trade Commission has established a Robocalls resources website with additional information about robocalls and steps you can take if you receive one.
How to get your business verified on Google!
Here is a link (click here).
Once you’ve verified your business information, updates you make to your local business—such as contact details, description, photos, business hours—are eligible to show up on Google Maps and other Google properties.
Before you add a local business, make sure that your business:
- Meets Google's guidelines.
- Has a mailing address or serves customers at its location(s). If you’d like to promote a brand, product, organization, or any other entity without an address, create a brand pageinstead.

Click the image to see the Google Street View | Trusted tour
I love it when a plan comes together! The goal – improve the online personality for a fine local bakery using the Google Trusted Photographer program to create business photos in the Google My Business View program. These 360 degree panorama’s show up in Google Search, Google Map, and Google+ locations (and more). Now, after the publishing of the business photos, notice the box which shows up to the right of the search results. .Pretty kewl, huh?

Winter Wedding Bridal Session - Bellefonte – PA
Sherry Tallon, CJ Samples, and I braved some very cold weather up a snow and ice covered dirt road for some photos last week. The wind was gusty to perhaps 20 miles per hour, and the temperature was about 38 degrees F. We had to engage (or dis-engage?) the anti-skid function on the trusty Scion XB to make it to the hiking-in point. We then lugged a wedding dress, tuxedo, camera, tripod, lightstand, flashes, dress shoes and more through the snowy trail. Once on the cliff face area, the rocks were ice covered and provided no level area to stand; this was a good area to slip and break a leg, and not in the theatrical sense! Sherry posed like a true professional and was un-complaining despite the bitter wind, slippery rocks and very real danger of hypothermia. CJ was just the same – although he had at least a wool tuxedo jacket to wear, his shoes were quite slippery and the rest of the wear far too thin for the elements. Still - we made it - and we each think the pix came out okay. .What do you think?
Experiment - a Cinemagraph from a recent senior shoot.
How would YOU describe a Cinemagraph?
