Meet Moose!

From Today’s Fun Studio Session.

Studio 211 Holiday Pet Portrait Shoot Session #1

Had a GREAT turnout and brought some BIG smiles to a lot of loving and proud pet owners with this impromptu pet session here at my Studio! From all the nice comments and excited responses, I’ll definitely be doing another Studio Pet Shoot like this again, sometime down the road.

Holiday Pet Photos @ The 211 Studio – This Sunday 12/09/18 – From 1:00pm to 6:00pm.

OK, so here’s the Deal!
You all know me, and know that I’ve been accused of being pretty good behind my camera! People, Sports, PETS!

My wife and her Doggy Mom Friends, & Classmates from numerous Dog Shows, Obedience Groups & Training Classes, etc. have been on me all year to offer this, because in years past some of them have gone elsewhere (THE MALL) and had Holiday Pictures done, very costly and believe me…They were Pretty BAD! Very Dark. No Details. No Highlights. Just Bad. That’s all I’ll say as I want to be kind….but anyway here’s what I’m offering to do it right and actually give you some Professional Images that you will be Proud to have for Years to come..

WHERE? 
Bring your favorite family pet to my Rick Bacmanski PhotoArtistry 211 Studios on North Main Street in Horseheads, NY

WHEN?
This Sunday December 09, 2018 from 1:00pm to 6:00pm

WHAT THEN?
You’ll have up to TEN MINUTES with me in my Studio…I’ll shoot a lot of PROFESSIONALLY LIT & SET UP Images of your Pet, and also with YOU if you wish in a Holiday Setting. TEN MINUTES.  If your pet is hard to control, well that’s just time off the clock for you. If he or she sits great, obeys orders and poses well…we can be done in a couple minutes, it’s all up to them!  I know Pets are all individuals and have their own great personalities. I’m a dog lover, so I’ll try to work my doggie friendship magic to get the best out of each and every one of them! I’ll shoot till we feel we have some really great shots, or till their ten minutes is up.

SO WHAT DO YOU GET?
NO PRINTS!
After Sunday’s shoot is done, I’ll Edit and Adjust all the images of your buddy, I’ll ditch the bad ones, and load all the good Full Sized Image Files onto a Thumb Drive for you. You will also get a Copyright Release Waiver from me, which will now allow you to do whatever you wish with these Full Sized JPEG Images. You can make Prints, Holiday Cards, Posters…whatever you want, wherever you want to do them. They are YOURS!

SO WHAT’S THE COST?
Cost per Pet is $60.00 (cash or check only payable at the shoot) and you also bring me a 8gb Thumb Drive onto which I will load your final images for you. My price for a standard Portrait Shoot is $250.00, so this is a nice way for you to get some Great Shots of your Pet without the usual higher cost.

If you forget to bring the Thumb Drive, I’ll provide one for you for a $15.00 additional charge.
*Each additional Pet (if you want to have more than one, is $15.00 each) but please remember….the more pets, the harder to control them…remember the old saying, that it’s “like herding cats!” and that is going to waste a lot of shooting time off your Ten Minute Clock.

WHEN WILL I GET MY IMAGES?
I will have them all ready for you to pick up here at the Studio by Friday December 14 at the latest.

SCHEDULING?
If this sounds good to you and like something you want to try, please e-mail me back at info@rickbacmanski.com with:
Your name, phone number & e-mail address.
Your pets name(s), type of pet, & pets age.

As inquiries and reservations come in I’ll get back to you via e-mail with a scheduled time for you to stop in, as we really don’t want 25 people and pets causing all kinds of interesting action around the studio while I’m trying to shoot!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Like I said, this is the first time I’m trying anything like this, so I’m sure there will be some bugs along the way, or things I’ve overlooked. Your help and/or suggestions are, as always, much appreciated!

Purple Frenzy!!!

The other day I saw some Facebook Friends & past Wedding Couple, post some shots of a new painting scheme that they have underway, and the bold butterscotch color they were applying. Yeah, it was a little brighter than most people would use, but then…..why have Zillions of colors of Paint if no one uses them? With that being said, before Wedding Season hits this spring, I had some spare time and just finished repainting my Equipment/Gear Storage & Framing Room….which remained in the Bright Pink color scheme of my previous Studio Partner Maria Strinni, even after she moved out of the area. Just didn’t have the time or desire to change it all up again. Well, times have changed….and this room is MINE Now! So what do you think? Purple Frenzy with Lime Burst! Bright Enough for you?? Even Purple Filing Cabinets!!!!
I LOVE IT!

“Forever Run….”

Well, for being born the runt of her litter with a heart murmur, and because of that all of the Vets we spoke to told us not to expect her to live more than 5-7 years.  So with everything seemingly going against her, our little baby girl outlived ALL of her siblings and made it to 15 years and almost one week. Over the weekend though, she had some neurological setbacks which took away her ability to walk, as well as a few other major issues, so today at High Noon, on this Spectacularly Gorgeous Fall Day in October, we helped our little girl get back on her Forever Feet, Gave her Kisses & Big Hugs, and Set Her Free to Romp and Play once again! You’ll always be our Special Little Chloe Girl! xoxo

Flam! Bam! Thank-You Ma’am!

Exciting news at the 211 Studio. Mysteriously last night, I found two new Baby Flamingo additions to my already assembled Flock! It’s as if I found a Baby wrapped in a Blanket on my doorstep!!!! Perhaps someday the mystery will be solved!

“Jasper”

“Damn, I’m Good!”
This Beautiful Girl and I spent some special time yesterday afternoon, and it’s pretty amazing how many miles traveled actually went into bringing us together! My client works in Elmira, saw some of my previous work, and actually works with another client of mine. Well, after hearing good things, he chose me to shoot a special Birthday Gift for a very close friend of his. Steve started out at his home near Jamestown, drove across the state almost to Kingston to secretly pick up & kidnap Jasper from her babysitter, while her owner was at work. They then drove to Horseheads where we met, started out with some Studio Shots, and then ventured across the street and over the RR Tracks and into the Swamp, where Jasper and the colors of Spring just Perfectly Meshed! Then after our shoot back in the truck they hopped for the 2.5 hour trip back home before Mommy gets home from work! We did GREAT you two! Well Done! Thanks for the opportunity you two!
