| As you enter our studio, one of the
first things that you will notice is the way that natural light floods the camera room.
This light emanates from the large bay window at the front of the building.
This window faces southeast, and it provides us with warm, natural lighting that we use in
many of our portrait sessions. |
 |
| On the opposite side of the camera room is a large fireplace made of
brick. It is fully functional, and we use it for senior close-ups as well as a
background for large family groups. |
 |
| In terms of equipment, we have the latest and best of lighting
(Photogenic) and cameras (Hasselblad). We also have a variety of fixed and moveable
backgrounds, as well as props of all types and sizes. |
 |
| Our dressing room is beautiful and has excellent lighting. It
is spacious enough to accommodate you and all the things that you might choose to bring
along to your photo session. |
 |
| We can do a complete and varied indoor photo session, day or night,
regardless of the weather, but we are probably best known for what we have to offer in the
way of outdoor photography. Seniors and families today often request that we do more
casual-style portraits, and that we do them outside. We have built our studio
facilities to meet those needs for our customers. This white gazebo is an example of
a great outdoor setting that we can provide for you. |
 |
| The studio and backyard areas abound with beautiful flowers, bushes,
and trees, all placed where they can be used in your portraits if you desire that kind of
a setting. |
 |
| Near the gazebo is a row of lush lilac bushes. In the middle of
that row is a trellis where we take beautiful full length and close-up shots of senior
girls, engaged couples, etc. |
 |
| We have all kinds of "specialty" props, and more are being
added all the time. This Coke machine has become one of our most popular props for
use with high school seniors. It looks great with denims, shorts, pets, and just
about anything else! |
 |
| This specialty prop is so special that we are the only
studio in this country to have one. It is a World War II twin-engine airplane, and
although we have only had it for a couple of years, already it is a hit with a lot of our
seniors, dance school groups, etc. You can look like Indiana Jones or Amelia Earhart
with this special prop! |
 |
| Another special-built prop has been a tremendous hit with our seniors
and families. It is our Hollywood style set that we have constructed in the woods
next to our studio. There are multiple shooting possibilities with this barn-like
structure, and it is a natural for people who bring horses, motorcycles, customized
trucks, etc. |
 |
| We also recently added a T-shaped stucco wall that has a door and a
window opening that allow many neat photo angles. This "southwestern" look
is currently very popular for seniors. |
 |
| We have constructed another very unique prop for our
customers with cars or motorcycles. This 1920's-style gas station
with its glass-top pumps, Coke machine, and colorful signs is a hit with
vehicle-lovers of all ages. |
 |
| While it's not going to appeal to a lot of people, in
our quest for the unique and unusual we have restored this World War II
Jeep. It's available for photo work, or we can just give you a nice
ride through our timber land. Kids love it! |
 |
| The 2000 season opened with this great addition to our
rustic country-style props. Bring your horse, dog, or boots and
we'll put it to work for you! |
 |
| Seniors and families who discovered the Furney Studio
in 2001 were the first to have photos taken with this great old freight
wagon. At well over 70 years of age, this prop is a natural for a
large group or any individual with interests in farming, horses, FFA
activities, or who just want to go country! |
 |
| In the late fall of 2001 we had a three-ton addition to
our list of outdoor props. This beautiful rose-colored boulder came
to us by way of the rugged hills of South Dakota. Within hours of
its arrival, seniors and families were using it to full advantage, and the
diversity of the poses is really amazing! |
 |
| This is our newest addition to our outdoor props, the white bridge with the stone wall and flower bed. It's really great for families and for individuals, too! |
