Also, if you are still interested in the commemorative DVD (to view, scroll down), please send me an email at esimmonsphotography@gmail.com.  You’ll need to mail me a check for $25.00 payable to Elizabeth Simmons Photography.  Once I receive the check, I will mail you a DVD.  Easy as that!  ($5.00 of your purchase will go back to the Football Booster Club.)

Thank you, Parents, for your support.  I very much appreciate it. I cannot express how much I enjoy documenting your athletes’ successes at the high school.  I hope I can continue to do so for many years to come!

All the best,

Elizabeth

I had the great privilege of photographing some of my favorite people, recently.

I knew we’d laugh a lot.

They’re kind of silly folk….

The weather was nasty and the lighting, well, not that great, but since we were on a strict time schedule, we muddled through somehow.

These are just a few of my favorites from the day.   They’re not your typical family portraits, but I love them because they show the personality of my friends.

(I also took some that are a little more traditional, if you will, that I haven’t posted.  But, if you are interested, you can go to my galleries link–at top of this page–to see the Rizers’ full gallery of pictures in the Portrait Gallery section.)

Gotta love that brotherly love!

Thanks, Rizers, for the opportunity to photograph your lovely, funny, heart-warming, silly, endearing, goofy family.

Country

I grew up in the country…

I now live in the city…actually, in the suburbs…however you look at it, I live surrounded by a lot of concrete.   So, needless to say, I love going back home to visit.  I love being surrounded by the wide-open spaces, very little concrete, and air that I’m not afraid to breathe into my lungs.

It’s a favorite place for me to use my camera.

Barbed wire is, for some odd reason, a favorite of mine.

I don’t know why I love barbed wire so much, but I do! 

Sunsets aren’t too shabby, either….

Sunsets and barbed wire together are even better!

I’ll post more from the country, soon.

Football

The coaches of our local high school football team have very graciously given me the opportunity to stand on the sidelines for all the football games, to document their season.  It has been a pure pleasure, to say the least.  I get a real kick out of taking action shots and pride myself in giving back to the booster clubs.  

 

 

 

 

I love the sights, smells (well, up to a point), and sounds of being that close to the action.

My hope is to continue this tradition for many years to come.

Sports Photography is so much fun!

 

 

 

 

And, I think the boys and parents enjoy having me around to document each game, or at least I hope they do.

 

 

 

 

And, guess what?! This has a been a winning season, so far!

 

 

 

 

Here’s hoping we go all the way to State!

 

 

 

 

Go Chargers!

Country Boy….

Actually, this little guy lives in the big city, but he sure enjoys his time out in the country.

And, I enjoy taking his picture out there, as well.

We chose a big cowboy hat and slapped it on him.

I think it works.

 The photo above was actually one of my very favorites. 

The lighting was exactly what you see–this was not an effect created by using Photoshop techniques. 

It was pure lighting bliss!

They were fun kiddos to photograph.  (And, it doesn’t hurt that I really like their parents, too!)

I hope I will have the opportunity to hang out with them again, in the near future.

She’s a natural beauty.   She’s comfortable in front of the camera and easy to hang around.

They also clean up right nice.

I’ve always enjoyed photographing their family.  It’s been great fun to document the changes, especially in the kids.. 

 

As they would say in the country, “They’re good people.  They’re good as gold.”

 

I agree.
