“It is Time”    The Pros, CDA Ironman 2009

It’s that time of year again!  Can’t believe how quickly time passes!  Just a bit of info….  

I will be shooting Ironman 2010 but only plan to capture large groups of people.  If you would like to see yourself amongst the masses as everyone is walking into the water,  enter on the right side of the beach!

I have many of my photo art from 2009 displayed at Java on 4th, Verticle Earth and Marie’s in the Resort shops.  Again, they range in size (5×7 – 60×60) and price ($25-$2000)  and can be customized to fit a specific wall in your home or office.  I plan to post some of the 2010 photo art as soon as possible but anticipate it will take approximately 3 weeks from Sunday’s race.  More will follow!

Additionally, if you have a digital image that someone has taken of you from the race or a prior race and would like me to turn it into an art piece, e-mail me the digital file and I will contact you to talk about what i think will look best.  Note: The higher the resolution of the file, the better the final outcome.

This is a sample of an image that was e-mailed to me, turned artsy and printed as a 16×20 canvas gallery wrap.

GOOD LUCK IRONMEN AND IRONWOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are some of the 2009 images….

It’s that time again!!  Last year we entered and placed third in the nation in the color category!!

These images were taken last summer at South Shore Beach in Tiverton, Rhode Island of Emma and Renee.  Now scheduling 2010 east coast summer shoots….May 26 – June 7th.  Book your appointment before May 1st and receive a complementary 8×10! 

Looking for an affordable, unique and meaningful holiday gift?   Here are a few options to consider….

A Margaret Boyd artistic photographic print.  Below are just a few samples of the many to choose from.  Prints are available in a variety of sizes from (5×7 – $25 up to 40×60 – $1,000)  They can be printed on many different materials including fine art paper, watercolor paper, metal, canvas, and many others. 

To see samples, contact the studio at 704-7463 to set up an appointment.  You can also view more online at www.margaretboyd.net  click on the “proofing” tab and type in “art” for the password.  This is a slide show of all current pieces available for purchase.

Gift certificate for a portrait session  or a scenic art piece is another great gift idea.    Buy a gift certificate for a 2010 portrait session before December 20th and redeem it any time between January 1st and June 30th, 2010 and receive 30% extra in prints…so, if you purchase a $100 gift certificate, it’s redeemable for $130 on your print order!!  Don’t wait, this offer is good only until December 20th!

Do you have an image that is meaningful to you or someone you know and you would like it transformed into an art piece?  Below is an example of a photograph that was taken of this year’s ironman event that was transformed into a large format – 40×60 inch canvas gallery wrap.  Custom sizes are available to fit a specific wall size.

AFTER:

If you are interested in ordering and need your piece in time for Christmas, don’t wait as there is a two week turn around time for photo art that is already designed and a six week turn around on custom orders.

Happy Holidays from Margaret Boyd Photography!!!

Just photographed a beautiful pregnant mommy.   Here’s a sneak peak….

Here are some of my recent summertime and fall favorites…. 

Hope you enjoy!!

"Yesterday's News"

This image was taken at my friend KJ’s ranch in Kalispell, Montana.  I did some artsy things to it and printed it on metal.  I love that you can see her dad’s math work on the wall in the upper right hand corner.

Sweet sisters, Anna and Delaney

 Anna was such a great big sister and no matter what she did to baby sis Delaney (including dragging her around in the basket) all was good with the world.  One of my favorite quotes on sisters…  “A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost”    Marion C. Garretty

A fun playdate with Jackson and Richard

The only way to capture the true spirit of kids is to let them play.  Jack and Rich threw rocks, built sand castles and we ended our playdate with a swim in the lake, fully clothed.  It’s a good thing mom came prepared with a change of clothes in the car.

Beautiful Katie

Kole and Finley

 Kole (we call him Kole man) is in my daughter Ava’s kindergarten class.  She is very fond of him and so is his little sister Finely.

Billie

Another beautiful mommy!
