SWOSU Purple Night -Epilepsy Awareness

2012-01-26T13:12:00.000-08:00

January 23, 2012, Southwestern Oklahoma State University held an Epilepsy Awareness "Purple Night" at their home basketball games. I was asked to photograph and cover this event for a friend and client of mine who lost their child, Kylee McCown, to Epilepsy. It was nice to see all the people out to support the family. People of all ages supporting the cause by wearing their purple!!

Trinity Johnson, Kylee's uncle gave an excellent speech at halftime of the boys game. Which was very insightful. If you are like me and know very little about Epilepsy and what the disorder is, here is a quick explanation of what Epilepsy is:

"Epilepsy is a medical condition that produces seizures affecting a variety of mental and physical functions. It is also called a seizure disorder. When a person has two or more unprovoked seizures, they are considered to have epilepsy. Seizures happen when clusters of nerve cells in the brain signal abnormally, which may briefly alter a person's consciousness, movements or actions."
-Epilepsy Foundation Homepage

Also, Here are some quick facts of Epilepsy:
   -About 2.7 million Americans have Epilepsy.
     -Epilepsy is more common than Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease combined.
     -This year another 200,000 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with epilepsy.
This is a disorder people need to be educated about! It sucks that something had to happen to a wonderful young lady in this community for it to be brought to light.

During halftime of both games, some of Kylee's dance team got together and did a routine which was pretty awesome. The dance team had won National and State titles in dance in earlier years when Kylee was on the team. Also, a solo dance was performed by @merrisamclean , which was amazing. Take it from me, I know dance. In my top 10 movies lies, Step Up 1-3, Stomp the Yard, You Got Served, amongst others. Also, during the games, friends and family had set up a bake sale with SO much grub. Which I sampled and it was ridiculously good! Especially the dipped pretzel sticks, whoever made those..... THUMBS UP. Face painting, tshirt sales, they had it all! It was an excellent evening to honor a great young lady.

I don't know who said it or I would give them credit, and I probably misquoted but... "Cherish the time you have with the ones you love. Because you aren't guaranteed a tomorrow"

Your have been and will be missed Kylee Jo....

Thanks for stopping by...

New Experience, New Ideas, New Orleans!

2012-01-19T12:30:00.000-08:00

     I am back!! If you follow me on Twitter or are a fan of my Facebook you already know, but if you don't: 1. shame on yourself 2. Click the links and get to "F'n"!! (following/fanning of course) I spent the last 5 days in New Orleans, LA at Imaging USA. A photography convention gathering nearly 10,000 photographers from across the United States as well as Internationals! It was my first time and it was amazing! I learned more about photography as well as the business of photography. After all, I am in the business of photography, it isn't just a hobby of mine. It is a passion I have. The business side, I have no passion for, BUT after days of getting up at 545 or 6am and hours of sitting in uncomfortable chairs and taking notes; watching these "masters" of both the art in the business and the photography. I realize, I have to be well versed in both in order to succeed! And succeed is what I will do.

     Now, I don't want you to think I went all the way to New Orleans and didn't have any fun. The last night I went to a locals establishment and got to experience New Orleans in a way I had described to me in the past. The JAZZ. Though exhausted, a few photography friends and I drug our butts out and was lucky enough to hear an 8 piece jazz band just kill it for a couple hours! In a city where music is a passion and many people have talent; I hate to think these guys will never be heard by the masses, but the talent in that small room on that small stage was anything but small.

I am excited about this year 2012 and if the Mayans are wrong, the future years of Butler Photography!

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed....

Valentines Special (oklahoma photographer)

2012-01-10T12:50:00.000-08:00

Sooooooooo, (that's a drawn out, sort of questioning 'so')

I haven't tried this before. Directing potential clients to my blog for advertisement of a special. Since I am probably top 5 worse bloggers I thought this may create traffic and in turn make me be more involved with my blog! So here it goes!

I had a couple of emails wondering if I would be doing a Valentine special:

"hey anthony, are you going to do a Valentine
special this year? Me and my bf are
wanting some fun pictures. let me know! (:"

"anthony, i was wanting to get some cute shots
of my daughter for Valentines. Have any
specials going on?"

See! questions about a Valentine special. [that is me being funny and sarcastic] any way!, I think that both ideas would work well! So, with that being said, I think we should do something "special" for Valentine's Day!

I am going to do 2 options:
Option 1:
Girlfriend/Boyfriend - Husband/Wife
Couples come in and get a 20 min session. Session may be indoor or outdoor. This does not have to be something that is formal. Its a fun cheap session so dress up and be yourselves. Thunder gear, Sooner, Cowboys or whatever. Each session will include 2- 5x7's and have an online gallery posted for 2 weeks. All orders will be given a 25% discount! Session Fee $40 (due upon booking to hold date and time)

Option 2:
KIDS!!
I will be having a Valentine's kids background. I have a few ideas via Pinterest. (i know that has caught your attention ladies) Kids session is $10. Session is due at booking. Each child session will come with a 5x7 included! This session is to do something FUN! not to just squeeze in your childs 3 year photos. The session will be directed towards journalistic images as well as my normal portrait style. Bring props!! I will have some Rose petals and flowers for the kids. But think this is fun, not fancy and blah. so props ideas would be, Chocolate covered hearts, little sweet tarts, teddy bears, just Valentine cheesy. ya, Valentine cheesy, that is exactly what I am going for here!

Ok, so get with me and let me know if you are interested. Photo dates will be January 30 and 31. With only having 2 days, the sessions will fill up quick. So get with me and get the time YOU want not the session that I have left.
Here's how!

Amy - Cheyenne Senior 2011 {oklahoma senior photographer}

2011-04-20T10:40:00.000-07:00

What is up?! 2 blog posts in a week, THATS whats up!! :)

Amy came in for her senior portraits last week and I thought they deserved a blog of their own. I had a good time shooting her and had some good laughs along the way!

Amy is going to UCO to get her degree in Secondary Special Education. I think that is amazing! I believe it takes a special person to take on this roll in life and for a young woman to know its her calling is, well, pretty damn cool!

Amy has a wonderful smile and a great personality. I wish her all the luck in the future!

funny how i ended with "she has a great smile" and the last photo she isn't smiling? I am an idiot.

SO.... now that, that is said and done. I am going to give a little info about the Senior 2012 season!! Butler Photography will be giving away..... FREE iPAD(s) !!! yes! that is correct. All you have to do is get 10 referrals... 10! that isn't too bad. Once you get your 10 referrals into the studio, they book and come in for their session. YOU get a free ipad along with your senior photos loaded onto it! Is this awesome?___ yes ___ heck yes! Sorry, no option for no!

Get with me for details and be on the look out here and on the Butler Photography Facebook and Website!!!

Dear Blog.... I am sorry {oklahoma photographer}

2011-04-13T16:36:00.000-07:00

Hey Blog, what's up? It's been a while. Your looking good as ever! I am sorry for neglecting you. I will try and be better, it's just I've been busy... it's not you, it's me..... Forgive me???

So, I noticed it has been yet again a LONG break in blog posts. Sorry, trying to keep up with all the different avenues of public relations is tough!! I recently started following Holly Baumann and she posts a lot of blogs. Most of which are interesting, to me anyway. Her latest post talked about the importance of blogging. So I am going to "try" and improve this outlet of social media! Lucky you!! bc i am so clever and humorous and awesome and amazing and entertaining, that it will allow your to be overwhelmed with greatness more often!! (thats as cocky as i could get, i hope it worked)

So, it has went from hot, to cold and now is entering BACK to hot since my last post. Things have changed a lot! I have recently gotten engaged to my high school sweetheart, Chasta. I am fixing to move my studio , hopefully for the last time, back to downtown Weatherford; in an awesome old building. I have moved my living quarters to Mustang, Ok. Where I am starting to book sessions in and around that area!! SUPER PUMPED My children have gone from 3 and 5 to 4 and 6 aaaaaand that is just about it.

Ok, now we are caught back up and going along, just like I never missed a beat. Just like you have been reading the blogs all along! ::kinda::......... NOW, lets get to what you come here for PHOTOS!

First up is, Noah. Noah had a lot of energy and was a lot of fun. I chose this image from his session because his eyes are just piercing!

Now, I couldn't possibly go through and load images of every session I have shot since August! That would be ridiculous and well, time consuming beyond measure!! So, these are just a couple from recently...

The next little whipper snipper is, Kaiser. Kaiser is Boone and Megan Price's first baby!! Boone is an avid Thunder fan, so that instantly means he will be an awesome father. Okay, maybe not, but it does help... promise :) Kaiser is a beautiful little girl and I can not wait to photograph her as she gets older!

The lovely lady below, is Holland. Pam, her mother, brings in props for her session and it always adds such an impact to the session! I recommend anyone thinking about getting portraits made to THINK ABOUT THE SESSION and what YOU want. This makes it more personal, which in turn makes the entire session better!! This image I knew was going to be killer, once I fired the shutter!!

Next up.... Ava Tourian. Now this 1 year old has more hair than any child I have EVER shot at 1 year! BUT it isn't the hair that catches everyones attention... or shouldn't be! Look at how pretty she is! Ava, is the daughter of Rouben and Alex Tourian. I was super excited to shoot her the first time and was so glad they brought her in for her 1 year photos. Hope to see her grow up in front of the lens through the years!

Wow, I have been blogging for 20 minutes! not so bad.

Ok, another Ava.... her mom has signed up for photos every month for her first year! awesome idea. This image is really cool and would look amazing in her room, gallery wrap at 24x55!! She is super cute and we are going to do something fantastic with her photos and the end of the year!

Last, but not least....... Miss Kate! She is a precious little girl! Her sister Madi and brother Jaxon have been coming in for quite some time! They are so fun to shoot!! It took Madi a while to warm up to the photoshoot experience... but Jaxon has been hamming it up since day 1! I think Kate just may end up being most photogenic of the 3. Just a hunch.

Whew!!! Blog is done! NOW, all you need to do is become a follower of my blog, or a follower of me on Twitter or become a fan of the Butler Photography facebook page! I mean, seriously, there is no way you shouldn't or couldn't know what is going on with Butler Photography!

Oh!!! one last thing... I have actually got the website looking pretty good! with prices, ideas, contact information and galleries! so check it out! also on your mobile device!!

Adios!

it has been a month, i am trying to do better! (oklahoma childrens photographer)

2010-08-16T10:34:00.000-07:00

That was Trendyn. He comes in every year and every year Tara, his mother, wants something different. I tell her to pick something he is into and enjoys and lets go from there. This year was a success yet again and we got some cool stuff! Obviously he is into motocross, so we shot him riding, jumping and just looking cool! lol great session and great images!! can't ask for much more than that!!

This is Sam Miller. Another of Lacy and Clay's offspring. His sister is below here! I could of shot him for hours and hours! I loved his entire session and had a fun time shooting him. His mom brought just enough props to make the session personal, yet not so many that it looks over crowded! I am lucky to be able to photograph the Miller kids, she comes in from over an hour away! Thanks Lacy!!

Rily Miller has been coming to me since she was 6 weeks old!! She came in her first year every 3 months as a part of our "Lil' Steps Collection" It is so much fun to shoot her. She attended an art school this summer so I told her mom of this idea and we just shot some journalistic images of her painting and it was awesome!!!

What you have seen above is Miss Brooke. She brought in her daddy's old, nasty, smelly, dirty, etc etc hat! Do not worry we scrubbed her down afterwards and made sure she did not contract any diseases from it!! She is gorgeous and has an awesome family. I am excited to shoot her throughout this next year and years to come!!

This young man is Brax. He is good looking kid! We had a good time during our shoot. I love the high contrast 2nd image and am glad his parents just let me shoot whatever I wanted!

There again is another blog post here at BLOG BLOGSTOFFERSON. taking far too long to post up a blog!! weird thing is i enjoy them so much! Thanks for stopping by and follow me on Twitter and the Butler Photography Facebook page!!!

auf wiedersehen!!

FREE SESSION week recap!! (oklahoma photographer)

2010-07-15T08:35:00.000-07:00

Every once in a while I put out a FREE SESSION week on the Butler Photography Facebook page and the NEW TWITTER Page as well!! This is your chance to come in and get portraits taken of your little whipper snappers for FREE!! That way if you do not like them, your not out a dime, but if, well WHEN you do, you can have a little extra cash to buy your portraits!

We start this blog off with Ryan. Ryan has been coming to see me for as long as I can remember! We always have a good time shooting! Last year before his session he broke his arm and I was the first to get to sign his cast! This year he fell down and got a scrape on his elbow. He told me, "I wish i could get a bigger scratch so I could have a scar." HAHAHA!!

Now we have Tucker. When Tucker first started coming in, I believe his one year or 18mo portraits, he hated me. He hated pictures and he didn't want anything but Smarties candy!! Tucker is now 6 years old and HE ASKED his mom and dad "can we go see Anthony and get my pictures taken?" WOW, every session has got better over the last 5 or so years, but I am pretty sure no 6 year old boys have ever asked to get there pictures made! Tucker has a girlfriend and we talked about her most the session. That and Toy Story 3. I love when the kids come in often enough for us to build a relationship!

This little guy is Isaac. I photograph his sister Ella and was lucky enough to get to capture his 3 month photos for his family as well!! Ella is an awesome sister and was a lot of help during the session! Its hard to beat a good black and white image of a naked baby! and look at those eyes!!

Now we have Reece. Another child that I have been lucky enough to photograph their older sibling. Reece was very cooperative and I believe enjoyed being the center of attention. Eventhough, NOT as much as she enjoyed trying to eat the pearl necklace we were trying to get her to shoot with!! Shooting the feet of a child has become common, but I really like the shot of her foot in the air. The composition is great and its just an image that really caught my eye in her proof set!

This young man is Lachlan. Lachlan comes in every year and every year we get awesome images! I posted on my Facebook page that I believe it is impossible to not get good images with him! Next time I just may try, to see if it is possible!! Just kidding Mikki. Lachlan is lots of fun and has a great attitude! He is so laid back and just is a joy to be around! Thanks Mikki for bringing him in! Also, Mikki is the best at using her referral cards! She, as well as her husband Brady, show off their images and send me the newbies! Which in turn, racks up the FREE MONEY for Mikki and Brady to spend on photos! This photo of him at the volleyball court is so awesome! Once I fired the shutter and saw this image on the camera, I knew it would be one of my faves!!

And finally, we have the Coker family. Desiree is expecting a new addition to the family at any moment!! I had a great time shooting them and playing with Beckham. He believes he is Wolverine and is afraid of the police. So we have a lot in common!! I can always tell during a family session within about 5 min how the session will turn out. I knew these would be fantastic!! Everyone was having a good time!! I love capturing moments in a session that are not posed and made to happen. They were playing and just being a family, I took the photos, did little instructing and I believe they turned out wonderful!! I can't wait to meet the new guy! Thanks for coming in!

So if you are a follower of the blog or a first time visitor thanks for stopping by!! I am trying to keep up with this a little better!! I will not promise anything, but WILL TRY to have a blog a week! Click these links become a liker of Butler Photography on Facebook and a follower of @photobybutler on Twitter!! DO IT! DO IT NOW!! Don't make me come tickle you..... Ok I went into child photographer mode there... MY BAD!

until next time.... "may the force be with you"

Its been a month, I am a lousy Blogger!! (western oklahoma childrens photographer)

2010-04-20T09:10:00.000-07:00

Wow. March 10 was my last post. There has been so many things happen since then!! So I do have some excuses for the reason there has been no blog postings. BUT at the same time, I owe it to you to see the sheer awesomeness, and yes that is a word (i think), that has been going down here at Butler Photography!!
I have moved studios from the Main St. location to 106 E. College. Still here in Weatherford. I am hoping to have a grand-opening of the new studio June 1 which will be my 6th year open! Ok, enough of the tooting my own horn and talking; you came here for photos, so here are some shots that for one reason or another have stood out to me!

thanks for stopping by the blog! i am still working on the website and will have it updated soon (hopefully) DO NOT FORGET TO BECOME A FAN OF THE BUTLER PHOTOGRAPHY FACEBOOK PAGE. ITS WHAT ALL THE COOL KIDS ARE DOING. AND ITS LEGAL!!

"Thiiiis is how we doooooo iiiit" -montell jordan

2010-03-10T09:49:00.000-08:00

How did you like the title of this blog?! It was the most appropriate way of explaining exactly HOW WE DO IT. "thiiis is how we dooo iiiit" haha

WOW, what a week! I had some great sessions!! Engagement, Families, Children and a Couple. I had a great time photographing them all!
In order of the photos: Aubrey came in and used her referral card from her sister in law and received a free session! This is one good looking couple! and very easy to photograph! Then we had the Henley kids, Jersey and Jaygen. I have photographed them I believe their entire life, and these images turned out great! The kids were so willing to participate and mom and dad just let me do whatever I wanted! Which is awesome! Jerseys eyes and smile will destroy some boys hearts one day and Jaygen is as sweet as he is ornery! I could of posted 15 images from this session, but did well only allowing 4! Then we have the soon to be Terry family, Doug and Lynnette. I will be photographing there wedding in September and looking forward to it! I love when shooting an engagement and you can tell that the two people really love each other! They had fun laughing and playing with one another and you could feel that they are truly in love!

thanks for stopping by the blog and remember to become a fan on the Butler Photography facebook page!!

until next time!

Dear cake, Jack is one and here to destroy you

2010-03-04T08:38:00.000-08:00

I have the pleasure of photographing Jack Madden, son of John (that is for real) and Kristel Madden from Hobart. He came in for his one year photos and we had a good time! During his 6 months photos, I discovered that there really are babies more fat than my son was! haha He has big eyes that are absolutely amazing!! He loves his momma and loves his cake!! It took a couple seconds to get going, but once the sugar hit the blood stream.... it was on!! The personal pan cake had ZERO chance against this eager one year old man!
Here are some photos from our session for your viewing pleasure. Let the guy know how cute he is!!
Thanks Madden family for allowing me to shoot your "little" guy

So there you go!! Now if you haven't already head over to the Butler Photography Facebook fan page and add me! We are holding weekly contest, including the current "CELL PHONE PHOTO CONTEST" where I am giving away wall portraits!!

Thanks everyone for allowing me to do what I love everyday!!!

Anthony

2010-02-23T08:28:00.000-08:00

I am supposed to be putting up images of the week past, weekly. I am obviously a bit behind, BUT here are some favorites of last week! I did a bridal that had some good images as well, BUT I can't ruin the big day, so those images will be up at a later date! ENJOY!!

Tucker- used to growl at me and eat 2 packs a smarties a session.... NOW he's a natural!!

Audra brought her boys in for the first time in a couple years. They have grown up a lot! What a great family!!

Brooke came into the studio not knowing if she wanted to be here or not! BUT she left with many, many great images! I couldn't leave this one out. Look at that tear about to come....

Tuckers family. They come in a see me ever so often and there a lot of fun to shoot. Dad couldn't wait to get done and head to the monster truck rally! haha

so there is a few shots from last week... more to come NEXT week and leave these guys some love. Please do not make them think there families and children are ugly! haha!!

thanks for stopping by!

i heart faces "we heart kisses"

2010-02-08T07:39:00.000-08:00

I have been following the girls of I Heart Faces now for about a month and when I finally got my blog up and running I found that the first contest would be "we heart kisses". This is one of my favorite kissing photos....

Now, that was not a "go kiss your brother" photo. There was bribery involved. It started out something like this.....

Examining this photo, I see so much going on.
1-the huge pucker/pester of Ansley leaning towards her brother
2-the disgust of Yukon's face in wondering "why is she doing this?"
3-and my favorite, the slightly clinched fist in his left hand giving her the warning "DON"T DO IT!"

You can go over and check out other participants and many variations of "kisses" on the I Heart Faces blog.

Here I am... A new BLOGGER

2010-02-04T15:04:00.000-08:00

I thought this day would never come! BUT I have finally came to the realization that blogging isn't only for goofy computer geeks! haha, well maybe it is and I have actually realized THAT is what I am! I will be updating this blog with photos of sessions that I really like and probably some images that are just priceless in every sense of the meaning.

So here is the informal, formal introduction to the blogger of Blog Blogstofferson. My name is Anthony Butler. I have had my photography business, Butler Photography, in Weatherford, Oklahoma now for 5 years. It has been an amazing 5 years, photographing some kids from 2 weeks old all the way up to their 5 year portraits!! Some come in and cry every time and some come in and let me sign there broken arms cast. I enjoy them all!! I try and build relationships with most of my clients and look forward to them coming back each and every time!

I have 2 awesome children. Ansley, she is 5, and is my princess and way too girlie for her own good! She loves to shop, dress up and is big time into cheerleading. Then there is Yukon, he is a boy 100% dude is big and he don't mess around! haha He is 3 years old and loves dinosaurs!! T-Rex is his hero. Yukon will take a shovel and dig a hole for an hour or more and never get bored.

I am hoping you can tell which one is which, but here are the 2 offspring.

So this is it for today. Let me know how you feel about this blog idea. I would like to keep it going. Let me know of any questions you may have about me or my style of photography, I would say I am awesome and my photography is my own. Hopefully I will learn to do all the cool stuff with the Html codes and atleast make it good to look at if the reading material sucks!
