Wrapping up the Holidays
The holiday season has drawn to a close but, before too much time passes by, I thought I'd talk about a few of the highlights for High Impact Creations LLC. During the month, I had an opportunity to photograph several private sessions, holiday events, and even a couple of commercial shoots.
I have always been a strong proponent of community involvement and I carry that belief into my business. This year, I was given the opportunity to serve as a celebrity waiter at the Rotary Botanical Gardens "Taste of Chocolate" event. This sold out event raises money for the gardens and it provides a private sneak peek at the Rotary Botanical Gardens Holiday Light Show. Last year I photographed the event and some of the photos were used in their publications. I included a quick flashback to the 2011 Rotary Botanical Light Show here. 
High Impact Creations LLC is also a frequent partner with the Rock County Historical Society. Over the summer I captured photographs the of the Tallman Festivival, the Prospect Hill Tour, and I was able to produce some promotional bridal images for the Lincoln-Tallman House. I included a couple of those photos in this blog post.
Continuing with that train of thought, I was invited to capture images of the Rock County Historical Society Holiday celebration held at the Lincoln-Tallman House in Janesville. I posted a public gallery of the event right here. The event is rather special: woodcarvers, singers, crafters, actors, yarn spinners, and a host of other artist-volunteers gather to demonstrate a good old-fashioned Christmas celebration in the period of the 1860s.
The image of the choir at the top of the this blog post is the Edgerton High School Swing Choir singing carols at in front of the Lincoln-Tallman House that evening. They sounded excellent and they added so much to the festive atmosphere!
High Impact Creations LLC is often hired to cover corporate events. This year we were able to provide coverage for a rather large corporate holiday party at the Delta Center in downtown Milwaukee. Two photographers covered the event. I personally took photos of kids on Santa's lap for much of the day. The photos were completely edited and made available to employees within 36 hours of the event!
And finally, I was able to participate in a Toys for Tots pinup shoot fundraiser. I rarely participate in group events such as this these days but the Toys for Tots aspect was a pull through for me and a couple of the models that I had worked with previously asked me to participate.
Pinup seems to be growing in popularity here in the Midwest where we tend to lag trends on the east and west coast. Of course, there are several sub-genres in the pinup category, but my preferred style is usually in the "cheesecake pinup" category. This is, of course, a product that High Impact Creations offers, and we are happy to customize this for pinup themed parties as well as a single person shoot! Just give us a call or send a message.
Well, those are the highlights of this holiday season. I've got several exciting develops that I am working for 2013, watch here for more details.
