New Website

Finally our new website has been completed and is now live. Our new website shows our most recent work and focus of our company. This has been a long time in coming. Thanks to Hoopjumper for the new site. We still have more work to do on the site but the majority of it is online and is working.

Make A Wish Luncheon with Matt Leinart

On June 25 I went out on my first assignment with Terri and Julia which was a charity event for the Make a Wish Foundation. Terri donated her time and talent for this worthy cause and I was glad I got to be a part of it. It was at the Marconi Automotive Museum in Tustin and if you have never been there it's pretty cool, especially if you are into cars. Their special guest was Matt Leinart who is a former quaterback of USC and is currently playing for the Arizona Cardinals. We set up the equipment in the VIP room and photographed Matt Leinart with all the genourous people who donated to the Make a Wish Foundation.

Julia is a huge USC Football fan, so when she got to take her picture with Matt she was very excited.

Crissy

Hi, my name is Crissy Alaimo and I am a new employee here at Starlight Photography. I am very excited to work with Mike and Terri, and am so eager to learn as much as I can from them. I have always had a passion for photography and the way it tells your life story. Photographs capture moments of time that we will never see again and it amazes me how a simple photograph can be transformed into a work of art. Looking at some of Mike and Terri’s work I must say has left me in awe. They both have such an incredible talent and have photographed so many local families, businesses and organizations in our community. Although I have worked here only a short time, I can tell by the phone calls and clients coming by the studio that Mike and Terri have formed a lot of personal relationships with their clients. They truly care about not only the work they do, but the people they photograph, and that is what makes Starlight Photography so unique. I look forward to not only bringing in new clients but also getting to know all the ones they already have.

Girl Scouts!

We love the Girls Scouts! We have had two troops come into the studio and we love having them. They can come in and see how a photography business runs and learn more about what we do everyday. Through this training they receive their photography badge and we take individual and group photos of the girls. We always have a great time, the Girl Scout program is an amazing opportunity for young women and we love to support them.

Professional Photographers of California Convention

It has been about 2 months since we attended the convention, but it took me that long to get some photos of the event. You would think that being photographers Mike or I would have taken some photos of our own, but no. I have to rely on the official event photographers to share my experience with you.

This was my first year attending the PPC Convention and I had a blast! It is always great to continue your education and fellowship with other photographers. Since I handle more of the business/marketing side of Starlight Photography I attended the classes that were geared toward marketing and business. A couple of speakers I saw were:

Craige Kienast

David Trust - PPA CEO

Margit Myl

Sandy Puc

Convention is a great place to get new ideas as well as refresh what you are already doing. Keep checking back to see the new promotions we will be starting and see the behind the scenes at Starlight Photography. Some up coming posts will include our experiences with Girl Scout Troop 616 and the Criminal Justice Training Center at Golden West College.

We are also painting the studio! Be sure to come see what we have done with the place!

Julia

Update that old photo!

Are you looking for love online (match.com, eharmony.com, etc.) in the Orange County area?

Is your photo over a year old?

Did you have to cut someone out of your photo?

Are you holding an adult beverage in your photo?

Do you constantly apologize for your online photo?

Is your photo so dated that you can't get a date?

Does your photo make you look heavier then you are, older or scary?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions then it is time for a new profile photo!

Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Do something different and have your photograph professionally created to emphazise your best qualities.

Be your best self!

Your profile photo(s) should compliment who you are and accent your best features. You should be proud of the photo you post on your profile. Having a professional photo on your profile shows that you are serious about finding that perfect person. It shows that you take pride in yourself and are willing to put yourself out there for others to see. This is not a modeling session. We will make you look like you. While some light retoiuching is offered, our objective is to show the real you, not the airbrushed version of you.

Are you a shy person? Our sessions are perfect for you. Our home studio creates an inviting environment for any personality. Mike or Terri will work with you to capture the essence of who you are and the image you would like to project. Your profile photo should not be about a gimmick, it should be you, genuine.

Starlight Photography is offering a special for those looking for photos to post specifically for an online profile. *We do not offer any prints with this session, but they can be ordered*

Our special for online profile photos:

$99 session fee

In the studio (on location is not available for this offer)

A disc of your 2 favorite photos

All images will be lightly retouched (additional retouching is available)

You can pick up your CD of images within 3 days of your session.

Other options are available at special rates!
