Christel Clear Photography was started in 1996 by Christel and Kevin. We had a dream of starting a photography biz and the dream came true. Thirteen years later and still having so much fun. After attending the WPPI in Febuary this year in Vegas I decided to update a few things. Soon we will have a new website that is "fancy". This one is great too. I have new books/albums, also new lighting and sets for your session.
Being in photography for 13 years I have photographed horses, dogs, buildings, burn victums, families, realitors, hall ways for insurance clams, little kids, big kids, teeth, blisters from leg waxing (law suit), etc. My favorite assignments are WEDDINGS, BOUDIOR AND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. I am very focused on these three favorites. I still love to freelance now and then too. I am a SIGNATURE BRAND PHOTOGRAPHER. That means I specialize and people like and want my style. Creativity is one of my gifts from God. I'm glad God gave a gift to accountants and bookkeepers because I hire them to do the stuff I really dont like doing so I can go skiing.
I use to deliver packages for FEDEX. Great job for 16 years. I loved my travel benifits. I went to as many countries and states as possible. I always had my bags packed. Now its full throttle photog.
I have an awesome studio. I share the building with Mary the massage therapist. We both have great people that come to us on a regular basis. They come here for luxury, pampering and an experience they will never forget. Everyone leaves here happy and often amazed. Its great that normal people can come here and Mary and I can put them in a spin.
Take a look at your photos from 5 years ago. 10 years ago. What do you say to yourself? When I look at the photos of me 5 and 10 years I think WOW! I looked great! So now is the best time for a session.
People have hired me to take there family portraits. For example...just a few weeks later Grandma passes away or something changes the family unit. Portraits are so precious. We must enjoy and love the moment we are in. We can all aquire the finer things in life... and stuff. The PEOPLE we have in our life are really most important and influence us more than we realize sometime. We must enjoy every day that we have, because NOW is all we have. Things can change. I have learned to live in the present and love my life NOW for what it is.
The website for the "DANGEROUS BEAUTY" boudoir photography is in progress. This is really somethin to love right NOW. Look at
http://www.lovestoryportraits.com in the mean time. Me and a few very talented friends have an AVANT GAURD project in the works. Elena is the body painter and make-up artist and Laura is a marketing genius and a DANGERUOUS BEAUTY model too! Lori is in school to become dental assistant and is a DANGEROUS BEAUTY herself. Elena's friend from MODEL MAYHEM plans join us for this adventure. This is so exciting! I can hardly wait to show everyone.
We use Cannon 5D and Cannon 40D. I still love to use my 645 Pentax film camera. All these cameras are professional and the results are awesome. We use professional labs to print our photos and we have lovely photo books for our peeps to show off their portriats. Everything is professional. No cheep stuff. I also use a 22 inch monotor to show you the pics from the photo shoot. . The monotor is quite clear and easy to pick out your favs. Also, I can build you a private website with a password so only you have the power to access and view your portraits.
I now have an new laptop. It is an Alienware laptop and is amazing with graphics and photos. Speed is the key here. If I want to anialate beings from another planet in a video game I can do that too.
