As Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites are growing exponentially almost daily it seems, everyone is using them as a way to look into the lives of everyone else. Whether it be long lost friends, employers checking up on employees, or recruiters for colleges finding new students, everyone is catching up on your online life. We’ve all heard the stories of people who’ve been fired or rejected for something because the content on their supposedly private page is found by the people they might not have wanted looking at it.
As a business person, I have to be concerned with what image I put out amongst my friends, and the public, when it comes to the things I post on the internet. Or, more accurately, what I make sure not to post. Everyone who uses these social sites to connect, to network, to keep in contact, should really be trying to keep themselves from looking bad. Especially in these tough times where everyone and their brother is searching for a new job.
To that end, Wolves Hollow Designs & Photography is looking into providing social portrait packages. These portraits would be done specifically to present your best on sites like this, and elsewhere. We don’t have all the details yet, specifically about what’s included and the pricing. However, what would be included is the rights to use the portraits of you on sites like Facebook, to keep yourself looking professional and prepared. You can also use the images as an attachment with your resumes when looking for work. Having a professional image of yourself front and center shows that you care about how you present yourself and that you’re prepared to show your best to your potential employer, etc.
These would be similar, although not exactly the same, as a corporate photo shoot. We’d find a location or two (or three) and get several poses both serious and relaxed so you can post to your profiles. This gives you decent pictures of yourself to show off, without having to crop out that unwanted element from snapshots perhaps better left locked away.
We’ll have more permanent information about these social portrait packages on our website soon. If you’re interested and want more of an idea about the service or pricing, contact us at: info@wolveshollow.com with the subject Social Portrait Packages.

As a treat this past Monday, my family took a trip up to Indianapolis to visit the Indiana State Fair. The main reason for this visit was to see a favorite local musician who was playing a concert on one of the free stages. We’ve featured some images we’ve taken of another concert of his last year and we were looking for some better and more up to date shots of him. We had a great time and got some amazing shots and video of him. We’re preparing these images and will be putting up a series soon. When they’re ready, we’ll post who and a link to their website. Stay tuned!
We’ve put up a bunch of new information on our services page concerning our portraiture services, including information for our family portraiture and event photography. We’ll be looking soon to begin providing information about our commercial photography and related work. We’ll also be providing more info soon on our work for sale, including our stock photography library, and art prints for sale. Stay tuned!
We’ve added in several images into our gallery so that you can all see samples of our work. While there’s a format issue with the pages at the moment, that’s due to the original code with the theme we’re using, and not your browser. We’re going to be changing the layout soon, so there’ll be more images on one page. But at least now there’s content to view.
You can get to the gallery with the link on the side of the page, or by clicking here.
I’m here to announce that I’ve just put up information on how to get to our Wolves Hollow Designs & Photography retail store. You can find this information in our “For Sale” page. We’ve been selling on CafePress since January of 2004, and we’ve enjoyed it. We’ve got products ranging from t-shirts, to coffee mugs, to notebooks, and even messenger bags and canvas totes. We’ve even got a couple of different designs on those popular Flip Mino video cameras. I bought one for myself a couple of months ago, and put a one of a kind, no other like it in the world design on it.
We’ll be putting more info up, and possibly featuring some of our products here (including some new designs, when they’re added) in the future. Take a gander at what we’ve got.
