Cope Family Portraits

This last weekend we went to the Marland Mansion to have our annual family portrait made. From left to right is Ethan (8), Rachel (12), Katrina, Hannah (2 1/2), and Mark. 

As you can tell we had a beautiful day, and everything went well except that Hannah found the candy before we were finished photographing! (In case you are wondering our parents took this portrait.)

Fall Seniors!!

Fall is my favorite time of year and seniors are one of my favorite subjects to photograph. So I am having a blast this time of year. I just wanted to show you a recent image from a senior session with Amanda. We had a blast going to the spillway at Ponca City recreational park, I also made some portraits of her in downtown Ponca City and at the studio! It's very important to seniors that we provide images that are creative and artistic, but also we try very hard to not "cookie-cutter" our portraits. By that I mean to always stay fresh and fun, not do the same shots over and over for everyone. Having said that though, as a professional, I know of some shots that always look good on everyone, so don't fix something that isn't broken..... I will have a couple more images coming later today.

Ponca City Halloween Carnival 2008

The Ponca City Halloween Carnival was a lot of fun for us this year. We experienced a couple of challenges like the loss of a studio light and the overwhelming interest. This was the first year for Cope Photography to be a part and we had no idea the number of people that attend this event.
Having said that, Katrina, Bryan, and I had a great time photographing so many little ghosts and goblins (and the occasional ninja or frog). Please remember that you can pick your complimentary portrait up at the studio during our regular business hours. Cope Photography is located at 205 E Grand Ave in downtown Ponca City Oklahoma. Our business hours are Tuesday thru Friday 10am to 5:30pm. Thanks to Ponca City Main Street for hosting this event and we hope to see everyone there next year!

Fall at the Mansion 2008

Thank you to everyone that supported the Ponca City Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) with this years Fall at the Mansion sponsored by Cope Photography in Ponca City. We met 21 families at the Marland Mansion this last weekend. The weather was perfect on both days that the event was held. Thanks to the brave one's that came out Saturday morning at 8:30! It was a bit chilly then but the rest of the day was absolutely beautiful. We are looking forward to the families seeing their portraits next week. Thank you also to MOPS for letting us sponsor this great event. See you next year at the Mansion!
