A New Blog! Check it out!!!

I am updating my online information to be as user friendly as possible - so check out my NEW, improved and work-in-progress BLOG. I hope you'll bookmark it, subscribe to it, RSS it...however you want to be notified of what's new with me, keep in touch with me please! As I try to expland my business visability into the search engines, I'm using my blog more and more to showcase my new work, and to tag, categorize and be content aware. I need to pull up my business name in the searches for Purcellville Photographer, Leesburg Photographer, Ashburn Photographer, Loudoun County Photographer...well, you get it, right?

The new site will give details of my session types, basic pricing, etc. I've also been busy putting all my forms online and getting my online payments for credit cards set up. We're going green, folks!

You can help me by Googling your town's name and the word photographer, and if I show up under the google maps - even on a lower page - click on my name! It brings me up further in the searches if you do so and I'd be very appreciative of the "organic growth" that will bring my business. Search Engine Optimization is a big business now, and a complicated one at that. I'm determined to at least get a chance to tell people I'm here, and try to win their business at least.

Thanks for reading, and if you haven't already checked out my new blog - go now to www.pattyschuchmanphotography.com/Blog!

Growing Stage Drama Camps - Loudoun County Virginia Photgraphy

I was contacted by Growing Stage of Loudoun County to offer photographic services to the parents of the dress rehearsals of three productions this summer - Cinderella, High School Musical, and Pirates of Penzance. The performances are all part of their summer camps for elementary, middle and high school kids. I am photographing all the dress rehearsals and offering the prints and/or DVD of the photos of each camp to the parents for sale. Here are just a few of the first production, Cinderella- which was performed at the Lucketts Community Center earlier this month. Stay tuned for the production of High School Musical at the Lucketts Community Center again, and then Pirates of Penzance later this month at Franklin Park.

If you are a parent of one of the campers and are interested purchasing any of the prints, or the DVD of the performance, please contact Patty Schuchman Photography for details on how you can get your copy.

Rock the Field - Purcellville Virginia Photography - Loudoun Music

On a simple Sunday afternoon in Purcellville Virginia Fireman's Field turned from a quiet little park into a full blown rock concert venue by Loudoun Music. Loudoun Music is a wonderful resource for the many talented kids in the Loudoun County area helping bands develop, offering music lessons and even giving guidance on stage presence. I had the pleasure of photographing these talented folks while they did their free concert for Purcellville - and I enjoyed every minute of it!

If you enjoy these photos, please contact Patty Schuchman to see the rest of the photos from that day! If you are in these photos, or think you are in some of the others, please contact Patty Schuchman to see how you can get complimentary copies of the photos for you own portfolio!

Senior Rep - Loudoun Valley HS - Senior High School Photography in Purcellville, Virginia

Meet Kelly! She's cute, fun, smart - and we are gonna have fun this year on our session "forays"! Well, if it ever stops raining that is....seems Kelly and I have a rain destiny...every time we schedule a time to go out, it rains. It's probably me, Kelly - don't take it personally at all! Today was a re-schedule of a re-schedule...and of course, it rained. But we managed about 15 shots just as the drops starting falling and then had to call it quits. I promise Kelly, we'll get LOTS more than this before you graduate! And if it rains every time, we'll just have to use the studio and find other indoor locations!

There are still a couple openings for senior representatives at a few other local high schools- if you attend any Loudoun or Clarke County High School, contact me to see if your school has an opening! The senior rep program is very lucrative and a lot of fun too!

Location scouting and a fun test subject!

Addie and I are getting to be old hats at these tricks - I use her to model in locations and she gies me beautiful smiles and poses everytime! Part of it might be that she's incredibly comfortable in front of the camera and the other part is just plain simple - she's easy going, and downright fun to be around. Thank you Addie, for letting me drag you all over and for running to catch the light with me! I get a little crazy with the sweet light and ultimately just need to find a way to stop time every evening for about 2 hours to be able to get all the locations I want to shoot in at the perfect times!
