New Graduate for Little Miracles 1st Year Baby Photography

Posted on June 28, 2013September 26, 2013 by cleary

One of my favorite clients just sent me a message and I wanted to share it. They adopted a two year old boy from Russia and want me to photograph him like I had done with their other two children, even though he wasn’t a baby. Here was their message to me.

“Dan,

Thank you again for taking Liam’s photos. It is so nice to see matching photos of all the kids on the wall together. Thank you also for the disc and the “bonus” surprise you put on there! We appreciate your talent and your care for us and our family. We will continue to spread the word about you.

Tim and Anya”

That’s why I love my job so much.

Executive Portraits at Law Firm

Posted on June 20, 2013September 26, 2013 by cleary

I spent two weeks at Thompson Hine law firm in Miamisburg, Ohio photographing all the attorneys and support staff for their new web site. There were 56 executives total. Here are a few examples. All the business photographs were taken at their office conference room. I brought in a white background and all my studio light equipment to make the process convenient for all the busy lawyers. I worked closely with Thompson Hine corporate office to make sure all the photographs were consistent across all their offices. After the photography every person choose their favorite image and then I did finish retouching on all the executive portraits. I think they turned out great.

Dan was very patient with my daughter and although nervous in the beginning, he got her to open up and let her beauty shine through.

Galleries vs. Portfolios

Posted on August 19, 2012August 19, 2012 by cleary

It’s a commonly question we are asked:

[blockquote]What’s the difference between Galleries and Portfolios?[/blockquote]

Galleries

These are single page collections of images that when clicked will open in lightbox to display the images you’ve chosen to upload / attach to that Page/Post. There is no pagination and you cannot assign links to Gallery images so when clicked opens in a new page. At least not when using one of our 5 customized galleries in KingSize.Continue reading→

How to create a Gallery

Posted on August 18, 2012August 18, 2012 by cleary

*Since the release of WordPress Version 3.5 the method of adding media files has changed a little. Mostly, the user-interface has been modified and causes some confusion. We have created some additional (updated) tutorials that will help.

WordPress 3.5 – How to create Galleries with Shortcodes.
WordPress 3.5 – How to create Galleries with Page Templates.

In our original release of KingSize WordPress, galleries were restricted to pages only and this hampered some of our buyers flexibility – for that we apologize. In our latest release, version 4, we’ve created a new post type custom to the galleries usage called “Gallery”. It’s sole purpose is to house the galleries you wish to create and allows you to then use a “Shortcode” to call them into various areas of your website (ie., Posts, Pages, Portfolios, etc).Continue reading→

How to create a Blog

Posted on August 18, 2012August 18, 2012 by cleary

Greetings & Salutations!

Creating a blog page couldn’t be any easier and following these steps you should walk through the process with no troubles at all.

First log into your WordPress Dashboard.
Now go to “Pages” and create a new page.
Once inside pages, give your page a title such as “Blog“.
To the right of the content area, find “Page Attributes“.
From the drop-down, select the “Blog Template“.
Once the blog template is selected, hit “Publish“.

Now that’s it. You’ve created a “Blog” page. This page template you’ve selected called “Blog” is designed to pull ALL ‘posts’ into the blog page. So when creating a new post, that will now automatically be published to that page you’ve just created.Continue reading→
