Love Me Some Football!

In the last year since having my 100-400mm lens I've shot many a football game - mainly Kardinal football as that was my high school after all, but none the less, I have given my lens a workout. So much so that when I shot Kenai's homecoming last weekend it finally gave out on me. To say I'm bummed is an understatement. I love that lens. It's perfect for sports as well as wildlife photography. I miss it. What's worse is we're getting closer to the playoffs. My lens is out for repair for "at least" the next 10 business days... two weeks means I miss the last two games of the regular season unless a miracle happens. I'm so disappointed.

But! Before my lens went completely haywire I managed to snap off this shot of Kenai's AJ Hull.



Kards play the Homer Marineers on Saturday, the Stars play the Panthers. Friday it's the Bulldogs vs Seward. Good luck to all the teams, stay safe, and may the best team win!

Hooray for Fall!

Things are gearing up around here at Photography by Antonia. Schedule has completely changed - I am now open all day pretty much seven days a week! I'm no longer working at the credit union and while I am looking for a "regular" job, for the time being photography is my number one priority.

Still, I managed to work the 40 hour work week while shooting all summer. Two of my favorites were a wedding shot back in august and a two year old's birthday shoot that I had earlier this month. Here are just a few glimpses.

Happy Easter!

Had a fantastic shoot on Saturday with an adorable doll baby. You may recognize her, she's been a client since her infancy. I am so honored to be able to see her grow up. These are her spring/Easter photos. It was a reshoot as the first time around she was a little overly excited about my dog being at the studio/house and she was more interested in playing with the dog than getting her pictures done. I've learned that the dog will be out of sight out of mind from here on out with her! Studio photography is a learning process, that's for sure!

There's still time to get your spring/Easter pictures in. Call 907-244-2801 or email me to schedule a shoot today!
