Change is a'coming

Photos by Pru will use an offical watermark on all web images from now on.

Why? Well, simply put, publicity. I watermarked photos for a little while but somewhere around June, after my logo was designed, I stopped placing my © symbol on many pictures,  especially on Facebook, which is exactly why I need the new watermark. With Facebook it's so easy to share pictures and I think if the picture is good enough to share then I should get the credit and definitely the publicity.

So, today is a new day.

Check out the newly designed Photos By Pru watermark that will go on all web images. Don't worry, clients always get unwatermarked images for their personal use but I ask that all electronic (Facebook, email, etc) images use the watermark version.


This is a move forward plan. At this time, I don't plan to re-upload images that have not been watermarked.

What do you think? I like it!

The 50mm challenge

It's a photographers' dream and challenge. I pulled out the 50mm lens. It's a special lens and mostly used for porrtraits or detail photographs. But it's best because this lens can find beauty in just about anything. So, one day, I realized that I hadn't used mine in a while and pulled it out and started clicking. Here are the results.

Before and After

No words necessary. A picture can speak a thousand words.

This weekend, I had the most delicious cake. It was extremely beautiful and detailed and you know, that somethings are pretty and that's just it. But this cake, was pretty and pretty tasty.  Yum! I am so  glad that I only got a small piece as we were leaving to avoid any temptation.

Family is Everything

I knew it as a child. Forgot it as a teenager. But I am ever so sure about it as a parent. Family IS everything. These are the people that are happy with you for the little things and bolster you when things are not so good. They know you inside and out and love you just the same. These are the people that remember you when you were 'yay high.'

Family IS everything.

I had the joy of photographing the immediate and extended family of a good friend. I was quite happy to have been asked to capture this time in their life. Here are just a sneak peek at some of the photos.

 Some people plan every detail of their life and some live in the moment. These two, definitely live in the moment. That spirit of freedom will keep their relationship fresh and lively for many years to come.

Some girls (and guys) plan their wedding day even before they have their first real date. Others, go for a walk and come home as Mr. and Mrs. O.  These two have a story, like no other, for their children and grandchildren.

Happy Birthday Bryce!

Birthday cakes are awesome but they're better when it's your first birthday. Happy Birthday Bryce!

 L is for the way he looks at her

O is because she's the only one he see's

V is very, very extra ordinary

E is even more .....

It's a wedding I won't forget. They were so authentic in a way that I can't quite adequately describe. They truly loved each other and you could feel it. You could feel their happiness with each other. It was palpable. He made her laugh, truly laugh and cry because words were not enough then danced for her like a lion on the prowl completely ignoring that we were in the room. They prayed together, holding hands, heads bowed before God, giving thanks for each other and praying for their marriage. They kissed, whispered to each other, giggled and probably daydreamed about their life ahead. Brian and Rhonda, thanks for the privilege to photograph your wedding. It ws truly an honor.

Here is a sneak peek. Want more? Go here for a few more.
