AZFamilyHorsePhotography

AZ Family Horse Photography is located in Phoenix, AZ, and
represents the event photography of Todd A. Johnson.

I photograph local gymkhana and junior rodeo events and make
the images available to the contestants and their families. I also
photograph informal senior pictures ,barn shots, family holiday
shots and simlar events. I charge $60 an hour for being on site
and taking pictures.

AZ Family Horse Photography is a hobby of mine, and its main
purpose is to provide families an economical way to get great
pictures of their contestants. I have been around photography on
and off since high school and have been very fortunate to have
had some excellent role models who spent a lot of time with me to
show me the ropes and help me develop my skills. This is a way
for me to "give back" a bit for all of the mentoring that I recieved
when I was young shooter.

AZ Family Horse Photography holds a City of Phoenix business
license, pays sales taxes on orders, and carries liability insurance.

Because I provide most of my photography on CD's, here are some ideas
on what I typically do with the pictures.
1. You can view the images right off the CD, but you should also copy
them into a folder on your computer for safe keeping. I would put each
CD's pictures in a separate folder for organization purposes. Or
mulitple folders, by contestant, or event date, for instance.
2. I typically do only 3 things with an image: Crop, and usually, Auto
Correct "Levels". I also usually Lighten Shadows by about 20%.
3. There's not much to be done with a blurry or out of focus picture,
other than to say, "Wow, that would have been a good one!" I try to
delete the most obvious bad ones prior to sending out the CD, but,
sometimes they slip through.
4. Take the CD to the drugstore or Motophoto and get prints.
Remember to Crop!
5. Use the photo program on your computer to save as an email or web
sized image. Email images to friends.
6. With Adobe Elements and Premiere Elements (and similar programs)
you can make a web show, or a DVD of the photos set to music. It takes
some time to get the hang of it but that's one my favorite ways to show
off my family's pictures to family and friends. If you'd like me to tackle
something like this for you, let me know. They come out great! Also, let
me know if I can provide help or advice, or if you need a favorite
picture adjusted.

Thanks, and I hope your family enjoys the pictures for a long time.
