Tony Urban Photography – Senior Photo Art, Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer – Somerset, Johnstown, Greensburg

I am very, very happy to announce that I recently became a member of SPA Artists. SPA or Senior Portrait Artists is comprised of the premier senior photographers throughout the US and its members are always working hard to revolutionize the senior portrait industry and to give their clients stunning images.

Being a member of SPA also means that my senior clients will have a very unique and exciting opportunity to become involved in a nationwide modeling campaign which is made up entirely of high school seniors. As a member studio, my clients can apply to the SPA Model search and have a chance to be selected as one of SPA’s 15 elite models. Each entering senior will receive a set of 10 comp cards, be put on the national spamodels.com web site, and be eligible to be a national SPA Model chosen by the SPA fashion panel. The 15 national winners will receive a modeling portfolio and a trip to model at the annual spa Event. The next event is being held in Palm Springs, California.

I am currently the only SPA member studio in the Somerset/Johnstown/Greensburg areas and I am really, really excited to be able to offer this opportunity to any interested seniors! It’s just one more way that I’m working hard to not only give my clients the best senior photos in our section of Pennsylvania, but to ensure that they have a fantastic experience in dealing with me and having their senior photos made.

2010 is going to be a HUGE year and I can’t wait to meet and work with everyone!

Well, loyal blog readers, it’s time to announce the final new senior item of the week and I saved one of the best for last.

Today’s new senior products are 411 cards.   These are like your own personal contact card and have a photo on the front and on the back. You can have any information you want added to the card – cell #, email address, facebook addy, etc. These are really cool cards and they come in packs of 50.

No other studio in the area is advertising them yet, that will probably change now that I’ve posted them. =) Remember, it’s not the items themselves that make the products I’ve posted this week unique, it’s the one of a kind design I do for every item.  I don’t just insert the photos into templates, I design every item from scratch and you can pick colors, styles, etc. ensuring that your products reflect YOU!

If there are any items which you want and I haven’t advertised yet, just ask and I can check into it.  I’m always open to the feedback from my clients and prospective clients and I’m just an email or a phone call away.

Later today or tomorrow I’ll be posting my updated price guide which will have more details for all of the new items and the complete pricing for every item I carry.

Most of these items are pretty self explanatory, but I’m still excited to share them with everyone.

Bookmarks are custom designed items that measure 2×8.  You can use them as graduation announcements, party invitations or just about anything at all.

Keychains are, well, keychains.  A double sized photo is encased in plastic and they come with metal hardware making them ready to use.

And this year I’m also offering 16 different styles of frames for prints sized 8×10 and up.  The frames are so beautiful and compliment the images perfectly.  I’ll include a few sample photos in the slideshow, but please know that there are samples of all frames available to view at the studio.

I have one more item to announce on the blog and it’s really cool, so be sure to check back tomorrow! =)

I have to say, of all of the senior photo items I carry, the albums might be my favorite.  I offered the 10×10 albums last year, but this year I’m offering new sizes and cover options.

These albums come in 3 different sizes, 5×7, 8×8 and 10×10. They are all custom designed and can feature around 30 different photos from your senior photo shoot. You can get them with an Italian Leather cover or, if you are anti-leather, there is a faux-leather option too. OR, you can get them with a custom photo cover. That’s my favorite choice and everyone loves having their photo on the cover of their very own album!

Today’s new senior items are Mini Wallet Books! These mini albums feature 10 wallet sized photos and open and close “accordion” style. They’re an awesome, little item to show off your photos to friends and family.  At just above the size of a wallet sized photo, they fit perfectly into a pocket or a purse making them easy to carry around and show off your photos.

Today’s new items are Senior Locker Posters.  They are 5×20 custom montages with up to 5 photos and the senior’s name and graduation year and they’re printed on metallic photo paper.  They look awesome and will fit in just about any locer around – making them a great way to show off your senior photos to your friends at school!
