Cats!
My mom volunteers with the local animal shelter and I always try to get a few shots of the cats there. She has been fostering 5 kittens for a month or so now and they are just ADORABLE. One of them has already been adopted, but the other four are ready for a permanent home.

Senior 2010
Happy Summer everyone! I am back from vacation and am slowly trying to get caught up with everything. I have a bunch of sneak peeks and other fun photographs to share in the next couple weeks. This is just a quick peek at a senior session. Have a great day! :)


SUMMER NEWS!
I have a bunch of announcements and news so please bear with me. School is almost out for the summer (congrats Seniors 2009!) and we are getting into the busy season for everything from vacations to 2010 Senior Pictures to summer & fall family photo sessions.
Seniors 2010!
I am taking 3 upcoming Seniors from each area high school for my Senior Representatives program. Since I am running a bit behind, the first 3 Seniors from each Fort Collins high school to contact me will be admitted into the program. Senior Reps get a free Basic Session and 8 sets of wallets (total 64 wallets) in exchange for getting the word out to their friends about E Tyler Photography. Reps will earn credit for large prints or albums for every Senior Session they refer to E Tyler Photography. Senior Rep sessions MUST take place on evenings of June 15-18 and June 22-25. If you are interested, please email etyler@etylerphotography.com with the subject line: Senior Reps. Please tell me a bit about yourself and which school you attend.
For all other Seniors, NOW is the time to schedule your session. Most high schools need their yearbook photos back by Oct/Nov, which means June, July, August and early September are the months for Senior Photos.

Mini Sessions!
The next Mini Session dates are June 20th and June 27th & 28th. Since Father’s Day is June 21st, I have extended the sessions to the next weekend. Mini Sessions are a 30 minute session at the location of your choice and include 10 high resolution images on a CD and 10 5×7 prints matted to an 8×10 size. For more information, see the Pricing Page. To schedule your Mini Session, please email etyler@etylerphotography.com with the subject: Mini Session. These will go fast so book asap. : )
Summer Schedule!
This summer’s schedule is already quite full of activities so I am going to open up a few evenings during the week for sessions. All evening weekday sessions (Mondays-Thursdays) will be $200 off the session fee. So if you schedule a Classic Session (regularly $800) for a Monday-Thursday evening this summer, you will only pay $600. This expires September 1st, so please take advantage of this now. : )
I will be out of the office June 5-14th with limited access to email. Please give me some extra time to get back to you if you contact me that week. July 10th-14th I will be out of the office also and will have NO access to email or voicemail during that time.
Mommy/Daddy Reps!
You heard that right- Mommy/Daddy Reps! Are you one of those moms who knows everyone? Would you love to help spread the word about E Tyler Photography? I will be accepting applications for 5 Mommy/Daddy Reps. Mommy/Daddy Reps will receive one free Classic Session to take place this summer and will earn a $50 credit for every session she/he refers. She/he will also recieve rep cards to pass out to all their friends and family and will also recieve their own Mommy/Daddy Info cards to give their information to new friends, for playdates or anything else they can think of. If you feel you would be a great Mommy/Daddy rep, please email etyler@etylerphotography.com with a short essay about why you want to be a Mommy/Daddy Rep and why you would make a good one. Please include in the subject line: Mommy/Daddy Reps.
That’s All Folks!
I am looking forward to a GREAT summer! As always, if you have any questions please contact me!
Have a WONDERFUL day!

On The Farm
Photographs have always been important to me. Way back before I really knew what an F-stop was and I was happy with just a disposable film camera or (eventually) a point and shoot digital camera, I was always photographing something: vacations, parties, flowers around my parents’ house, pretty much anything I could capture. When I started my photography business, my casual photographing came to an end. I spend my days using a camera and just wanted to sit back and enjoy family functions without a camera in front of my face. I was also afraid of becoming the family ”crazy girl with the camera”.
Yesterday I got the itch to bring my gear to a family function again. I’ve been missing being able to thumb through the photographs from personal events and I finally just figured I’d rather be the crazy girl with a camera than miss capturing the moments that are so special to us. We spent the afternoon at my husband’s uncle’s farm. He has been working hard getting everything fixed back up since last year’s tornado.

My daughter loves to sit on the porch swing (I’m blaming the annoyed expression on her allergies & not PCS, otherwise known as photographer’s child syndrome). ;)

There is a Tire Swing upstairs in the barn. The barn got hit pretty hard by the tornado so its to great to see it back in good shape.



This is one of my favorites.

Can’t have a farm without a windmill~ I am in love with it because it reminds me of Nebraska (where I grew up).

Have a wonderful day!
Blogs of Photogs
Just found out that the blog is featured on the Blogs of Photogs website! What an honor~ there are some seriously talented photographers on there!

Have a great day!







Paragon Theatre Bus Stop
Paragon Theatre’s newest production is “Bus Stop” and opens this weekend. I know I say this every time I photograph a play, but I really loved this one! What an amazing, talented cast! As with all the arts, there is always so much more that goes on before the production and in the background… it takes so many more people and/or hours than you would ever think.
I think my favorite part of this play is how very real it seems. The characters all seem like they could be someone you meet on a street… or stuck in a diner due to the weather. They are all so much more complicated beings than you see at first glance.
Bus Stop runs through June 6th. Check out Paragon Theatre for more info: http://www.paragontheatre.org/busstop.php
