Christmas Lights – Megan

Ben Lawson — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:00:15 +0000

Tis the season to shoot some creative holiday imagery, don’t you think? Megan came over yesterday and we had fun playing with Christmas lights. We used only the light from my studio’s North-facing window and of course the lights themselves. We were pressed for time, but these came out great. Thanks, Megan! As usual, a [...]

My Awesome New Referral Program!

Ben Lawson — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 16:17:22 +0000

I get it. Times are tough right now, and even I would prefer a little more money in my wallet than a gift certificate or credit toward a purchase at a particular store no matter how much I loved shopping there. So I have revised my referral program to be better, stronger, and faster than [...]

Henry and his Harley – Springfield, MO

Our friend, Cheryl, provided daycare for my two youngest boys before they started school… meaning we’ve known each other for almost 12 years now. For the last few years, she has wanted to get some picture of her husband, Henry, with his motorcycle. We were finally able to make that happen this past Saturday. As [...]

Stop Facebook from printing your photos!

Ben Lawson — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 18:17:52 +0000

There has been more controversy lately regarding Facebook and their image ownership policies. A number of companies, such as Wal-Mart, Target and Snapfish have started making it extremely easy to print any of your photos directly from Facebook. And by “your” I mean, of course, everything you have uploaded to Facebook or any photo in [...]

This was originally posted as a Facebook update until I realized I could not share updates on the wall. Does anyone really read those things? So I decided to post it here since it’s worth sharing with everyone. For a limited time I am offering huge print credits when you book one of my Portrait [...]

Ed Thompson Headshots – Springfield, MO

Ben Lawson — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 18:19:32 +0000

My friend Ed and I have been dabbling in movie making and screenwriting for a while, and have participated in the SATO 48 Film Challenge two years running. In the process of doing online research, Ed apparently put his name on an acting list somewhere and was contacted the other day to audition for an [...]

Heather & Brad Wedding – Springfield MO

Brad and Heather, the cute couple gracing this month’s header and sharing an intimate dance to the right, were married on May 22nd. Both the ceremony and reception were held at Mrs. Gilmore’s Carriage House, a gorgeous location at which I look forward to shooting in the future. Beautiful landscaping and eclectic decor make this [...]

Miss C’s Boudoir Session

The beautiful “Miss C” is getting married the end of June, and she knew a boudoir session would be an awesome pre-wedding gift for her fiance! We also called on the talented Kristen Burns for some of her usual makeup magic. During the course of our photo session, she went from Megan Fox sexy one [...]
