Happy Birthday America! #247

Posted on July 4, 2023 by Jim Tincher Photography

I try to do an Americana shoot every year but it doesn’t always work out for various reasons. All this week I’ve been sharing on Instagram some of the Americana images we took while on our recent Destination trip to Charleston/Isle of Palms South Carolina! Aside from today there are three more sets of images still to be shared this week.

Senior Destination trips are something we do each year with members from my Senior Model Team. This year we returned to the Isle of Palms in South Carolina the first time in three years (happy to be back).

After settling in the first shoot we did on our arrival in Isle Of Palms was our Americana shoot! The weather was perfect and the beach was literally out the front door… and of course the girls did fantastic! When you do a group shoot the trick is to try and make sure no one’s images look like someone else’s… I think we managed to do that!

Late last week I received an email from SeniorSznMagazine asking if I would submit images for their upcoming special edition “Patriotic Special Issue 2023”. Happy to announce that they featured six of my images of Aubrey, Chloe, Trinity, Madison and Annabel along with a group image. Congratulations ladies!!!

National Donut Day

Posted on June 2, 2023 by Jim Tincher Photography

It’s that time of year again…..

I think just about everyone loves a good donut (a few don’t, we won’t talk about them). For those that do love donuts they all seem to have a favorite that they like just a little bit more than the others… For me I like the cake type donuts best with powdered sugar. Other’s need that glaze or some yummy icing. Needless to say though that for this shoot MacKinley and Trinity tried them all!

It’s been a minute…

National Donut Day

Posted on June 7, 2019 by Jim Tincher Photography

June 7th – National Donut Day

National Donut Day is a real thing! Arguably it’s one of the most worthwhile food holidays! and it actually has a reason for existing!

National Donut Day was created in 1938 to honor the “Donut Lassies” from World War I! The Donut Lassies were women who volunteered with the Salvation Army to help boost soldier morale. One of the ways they did this was by creating donuts from scratch with the meager supplies they had. The Lassies wanted to give the soldiers something that was homemade that wasn’t candy or cigarettes.

These women volunteered to join the front lines of the American Expeditionary Force in France. The obvious supplies they issued to them were; gas masks, helmets and .45 caliber revolvers.

In September of 1917 just a few miles from the front lines they were serving the traditional treats like fudge and hot chocolate when they came up with an idea to make home made donuts. Using shell casings for rolling pins and helmets to fry in they were well on their way to making donuts something that reminded the soldiers of home.

Thank you “Donut Lassies”!!!

Galentines….

Posted on March 7, 2019 by Jim Tincher Photography

First shoot of the season with my 2020 Senior Model Team and it was a blast! This was the most elements I’ve done for a Valentines shoot as it’s usually a quick shoot! This year was obviously different. I just wish all the girls could have made it but it’s sometimes hard to get everyone together.

For most this was the first photo shoot they had ever done, but you’d never tell. Hula Hoop skills are something we’ll work on. Everybody pitched in to help make this shoot a success from blowing up balloons, to sharing dresses and helping with makeup…

I’m looking forward to spending time with this amazing group!

Rushing Into The New Year!

Posted on January 1, 2019 by Jim Tincher Photography

Finishing the year on a high note and starting the New Year off & running!

The last two months of 2018 finished on a high note for me and my Senior Photography. I generally don’t enter competitions but on a whim I decided to enter Senior Style Guide’s Hot 100. At the end of August I submitted a few images having few expectations with less than fifteen minutes to spare at the deadline. Once I discovered that globally there were 8152 photographers submitting I lowered my expectations a little more.

On Wednesday November 21st, the day before Thanksgiving I received two notifications. The first notification was from The Twelfth Year, they were featuring one of my images on their site! That was completely out of the blue! About 30 minutes later I received notification that I was selected as one of the Top 100 Senior Photographers Globally! Senior Style Guides “Hot 100”!

I was pretty much at a loss for words in describing how that made me feel, but I was definitely Thankful and it came at a perfect time of reflection and in giving Thanks!

Since then I’ve been fortunate enough to have been featured four more times with the last one being today, New Years Day!

The last shoot of 2018 I did with any of my Senior Model Team members was with Chaney. On December 10th We had a blast shooting several different looks for the Christmas and New Years Holiday’s. From that session we’ve been featured on Senior Muse and Seniors Best! Images from that session are below.

One More Thing To Be Thankful For

Posted on November 21, 2018 by Jim Tincher Photography

Wow, what a day! First one of my images was featured on The Twelfth Year earlier this afternoon and a little while ago I received some very unexpected news!!

I have been fortunate enough to have received one of the highest honors in Senior Photography! With over 8100 submissions world wide I was picked as one of the TOP 100 SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHERS across the globe! I can’t tell you how pumped, shocked and honored I am!!! I never enter contests but at the last minute, with literally only ten

minutes to spare I decided to enter a few images back in the summer. I won’t know until early December which image was selected, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be going nuts trying to figure out which one it was!

Special thanks to the judges for their tireless efforts in this challenging process of going through 8152 entries, and a “SUPER BIG THANKS” to my Senior Models past and present!!!

One more thing to be Thankful for….

National Donut Day

Posted on June 8, 2018 by Jim Tincher Photography

Last Friday June 2nd was “National Donut Day”! Yes there is such a thing, in fact there are two every year! This might be a cause for celebration!

The first Friday of every June is National Donut Day. This began in World War I by volunteers who wanted to deliver food to the soldiers on the front lines in France. More than 250 women were sent by the Salvation Army who would use the soldier’s steel helmets to fry the donuts. In 1938, the Salvation Army honored these “doughnut lassies” by recognizing an annual pastry holiday that could also raise awareness and funding for the Salvation Army’s charitable efforts.

The other National Donut Day is November 5th who’s origins can be found in the Ladies’ Home Journal from the 1930’s. If for some reason you happen to miss either of these days don’t worry too much because June 8th is National Jelly-Filled Donut Day, and National Cream-Filled Donut Day is September 14th! So mark those days on your calendar be prepared to celebrate your favorite donut!

In the meantime last Friday (June 2nd) Ashton, Hanna and Valorie volunteered for an impromptu photoshoot and to have a little fun celebrating National Donut Day, below are the images from that shoot!

Best of 2017

Posted on March 8, 2018 by Jim Tincher Photography

I’ve shown a few “sneak peeks” over the past few weeks of my shoot with Kendall on Instagram, but now it’s official! Earlier this week I received notification that the “snow shoot” we did has been featured by Seniors Ignite in the Best of 2017!

We do get snow in Kentucky, but it’s often unpredictable (and we never know how long it will last). I didn’t want to take the chance of not getting a snow shoot done before the next freeze/thaw cycle. It just so happened that Kendall was available at the spur of the moment, and in less than an hour we got some great winter shots. You never how how long snow is going to last here! Just last week the temperatures were in the 60’s and today we had some little flurries. Needless to say, during the shoot is was cold, so afterwards we ordered hot chocolate and had a blast going over the images!

I really can’t begin to say how happy I am with the work we did together. Kendall was great and there were so many good images! Looking forward to the next time we get together!

It never get’s old having your work featured. I’ve been blessed to have worked with some amazing people that helped make it happen!

December 3 – Lights

Posted on March 4, 2018 by Jim Tincher Photography

When the announcement was made that the December Challenge shoot was going to be “3-Lights” I had no idea what I would do, or if I’d even do the challenge. It wasn’t until later in December when I was working with Sierrah on her Miss Kentucky head shots did I have a clue.

During Sierrah’s session we talked about many things, one of them being dresses. When she showed me images of her dresses the “blue” one stood out. Suddenly, I knew what I wanted to do! I didn’t tell Sierrah the finer details other than I wanted to shoot her in that dress for the challenge. You see, January 2018 was a “Blue Moon” Month. Specifically January 2018 was to be a “Super Blue Blood Moon and Lunar Eclipse” and the winners for the December Challenge were to be announced in January! Perfect!

All I can say is that Sierrah was the perfect choice for this “challenge shoot” and quite frankly I think she nailed it perfectly!
