Some Images from Our Family Model Search
We had so much fun shooting images for our upcoming family portrait promotion that we couldn’t wait to share some of them here. Please, leave us a comment below and tell us what you think!
We had a terrific response, and while we’re not yet done all the sessions, it’s clear we’ll have a great selection of new images to use in our ad campaign. Thanks to all our great clients who participated! We offered each of them a Free session and $100 Gift Certificate to use at the studio. We got great new images to display, and they got a chance for some significant savings on portraits they will cherish forever!
BTW, we will be running our Holiday Portrait Special this year on November 27th and 28th. Watch your email for details. If you’re not on our mailing list, but would like to receive information about upcoming studio specials, sign up here:
Here are some of the wonderful images we will be featuring in our upcoming ads: The Carey Family was so much fun to work with. I loved the one of them goofing off and acting like the real spirited family they are!
The Ertle kids were fun too. They had to beg and plead, but they finally got Mom to join in for a few shots too!
We had photographed Brenna as a high school senior not too long ago. We were glad she came back to have these special portraits made with her boyfriend.
There is nothing quite as special as the bond between Mother and Daughter, and what an honor it is to be asked to record that special bond, as we did with the Hamlyn’s!
This was a great idea! The Kausers decided to get all the GRANDKIDS together for a group portrait. What a perfect Holiday Gift for Grandmom and Grandpop! Can you think of anything they will cherish more? 
We have photographed Kathy and Jeff since their high school senior portraits, uh, we won’t say how many years ago.. but, they are always fun to shoot, and now have 2 beautiful girls! Thanks guys!
The Muhlbairs were also past clients, and it was a joy to photograph the special relationship between two sisters. We were also able to talk Mom into a few as well. I’ll bet the girls will be glad she agreed.
Christine Phillips and her fiance’ were not past clients of ours, but where recommended by someone who was. Client referrals are the very lifeblood of our business… thanks!
Jessica was another of our senior portrait clients that recently got engaged. They are buying their first house! Congratulations!
We had such a blast reconnecting with past clients, meeting new ones, and creating so many memorable images. Thanks to all who participated! To those who missed out, remember there is still time to get significant savings on that Dennis Kelly Portrait you’ve always wanted during our Holiday Portrait Sale, Thanksgiving Weekend, November 27th and 28th. The kids will be home for the Holiday, and Portraits are the ONE Holiday gift only you can give… and one that will be treasured forever. If you’d like to see even more images in our special “Relationship” style, watch the video!
We are also looking for just a few more kids to photograph for our upcoming Children’s Holiday Portrait promotion. If you know someone with cute kids between the ages of 1 and 12, send them to THIS Page on our blog for information on how to participate!
The Calendar is Out!
Now the the 2010 “Pinups for Pitbulls” Calendar has been officially released, we are allowed to share the image we created for “Miss December” Ashley Lafferty and her dog, Dora. Here is the image Dennis created with Ashley and Dora.
The concept of the calendar is that prospective models are assigned a classic pin-up image to recreate, but must incorporate their bully-breed dog in the concept. It is up to the model to find a photographer and do their best recreation of the theme. The best submissions are chosen to appear on the calendar.
Calendar sales go to benefit Pit Bull Rescue. You can get yours by visiting Pinups for Pitbulls.

Watch Me Work!
The wonderful Chris LoBello produced this promotional video for a model I have worked with many times. I came across it again and thought it would make a cool blog post. This was shot during an actual model portfolio session at my studio. Thankfully, most of the emphasis is on Melissa, and not so much on my ugly mug. But, you can get a real good idea of what a high energy, fun session here is like.
In addition to seniors, families, and kids, we also do promotional work for models, actors, performers, and the like. Really, anyone who needs to project a professional image should have professional images.

Shooting Just for Me!
You know what they say about the plumber’s house having the leaky faucet? It’s true! As a professional photographer I usually don’t want to see a camera on my day off, or on vacation. But this morning, the fall colors on my way to work were so beautiful I had to shoot some images.
Sometimes, taking time to shoot something “just for me” makes me remember why I fell in love with photography to begin with.

Dennis is fantastic and bringing out the beauty in every woman. Let Dennis capture your “Sweet and Sexy” side. Sessions start at under $200. Professional makeup service is also available. 856-228-4399
Fall Happenings at Dennis Kelly

Well, senior portrait season is winding down and we finally have some time to update our blog with all the news that’s been happening at Dennis Kelly.
Despite the sluggish economy, we were happy to see many seniors from the Class of 2010! We had a blast photographing this fun, energetic group. Here’s Brittany, one of our sen10rs!You can see many more video of members of the class of 2010 by visiting our Facebook Page.
We photograph seniors year ’round, so if you haven’t had yours done yet, or if you just went to the school picture company or some other studio and were less than thrilled with the results, give us a call at 856-228-4399 and schedule your session with Dennis
Pin-Ups for Pitbulls
Dennis was selected to have one of his photographs published in the 2010 “Pin Ups for Pitbulls” fund raiser calendar. Due to publication restricitions, we can’t show you the picture until the calendar is officially released. “Pin Ups for Pitbulls” is a non-profit charity that raises funds for animal rescue causes. The concept is that bully breed owners are assigned a classic pin-up style image from the 1930’s, and they and their photographer have to recreate the concept, using the pitbull. Here is our “assignment:
Our Models for the shoot were Ashley Lafferty of Philadelphia and her dog, Dora.
To see how well we did in recreating this adorable image, well, you’ll have to buy the calendar!
They are $20, and all funds raised go to support animal rescue and awareness of Bully Breeds. You can pre-order a calendar here

Dennis Earns Top Honors
Once again, Dennis has earned high honors in the Guild of Professional Photographer’s Fall Image Competition.
Dennis earned 3 Blue ribbons for his entries, and was awarded “Best of Show” “Best Portrait of a Woman” and “Judge’s Choice”.
His “Best of Show” entry, entitled “Summer’s Dream” was a fine art nude, so we are not posting it here. If you are not offended by artistic nudity and would like to see what the judges loved so much, you can view the image by following this LINK
Dennis’ stunning image of Ballet Dancer DeSalle, titled “Quantum Leap” was awarded an near perfect score of 94… almost unheard of in regional competitions. You this stunning image also contains artistic nudity, and can be viewed HERE.
Albums Increase in Popularity
New advances in press printed technology have allowed us to offer really unique, beautiful, one of a kind portrait albums at never before possible prices. These “coffee table books” have been a huge hit with our senior portrait clients this year, and are a great way to showcase virtually ALL the images from a portrait session in a custom designed book that will be sure to have your friends and family “ooh-ing and ah-ing” over all the beautiful images and custom design. Available in 3 sizes, 5×5, 8×8, and 10×10, with leather or custom photo covers, these albums are definitely worth having.

Beach Portraits
If you grew up in the Delaware Valley, “Summers Down the Shore” likely has a special meaning to you.
We find it great when we get out of the studio and get to create a memorable portrait experience, as we recently did for this young family.
Dennis photograhs on the beach in Ocean City during selected evenings in the summer and early fall. Beach sessions are just $150, but appointment times fill fast.
Why not take some time to make a special memory of YOUR family, while summer is still here? Call the studio today at 856-228-4399 to arrange your individual appointment time with Dennis.
