Thirteen is your Lucky Number!

Posted on May 29, 2023 by Jim Tincher Photography

It’s always exciting news when you find out a magazine has notified you that one of your images is being considered as a cover image for the next edition. It’s even more exciting when you find out there are only seven images (out of thousands) being considered and two of them are yours!!!

As it would turn out we didn’t get the cover, but I’m still happy and delighted not only for myself but also for Aubrey and MacKinley, that their images were in contention for the cover of the Spring edition of Teen Years Magazine!

Fast forward to this past Friday when I received my digital copy only to discover to my surprise that thirteen of my images are in the Spring edition! Thank you so much Teen Years Magazine for the features of my Class of 2024 Senior Model Team!

A big “shout out” to these amazing girls! Congratulations goes to Aubrey pages 27 & 54, MacKinley page 37, Riley pages 38 & 106, Chloe page 63, Trinity page 66, Madison pages 69 & 70 (her own spread), Talley page 75, Deanna page 93, Annabel page 99 and Elana page 113! Way to go girls!!!

National Ice Cream Day!!!

National Ice Cream Day.

Yep, its a real thing! In fact it happens every third Sunday in July and has been since it was enacted by President Reagan in 1984!. He wanted to commemorate the frozen treat that over 90 percent of the American population enjoys. Did you know the average American eats about 23 gallons of ice cream a year ?

To celebrate Nation Ice Cream Day Lauren (who’s one of my Senior Models for Class of 2021) and I did this little shoot a few weeks ago to help mark the occasion…..

Coffee Shop

Posted on August 26, 2019 by Jim Tincher Photography

What’s there to do on a boring rainy day? How about grabbing a friend, a book and then spend the afternoon at a coffee shop? Abby and Morgan seemed to make the best of that day even though there were plenty of eyes watching us shoot. The coffee shop was actually packed which made it quite challenging to shoot. It was kinda funny watching the by-standers attempt their poses…. I think secretly they wished their pictures were being taken….

County Fair Fun!!

Posted on August 21, 2019 by Jim Tincher Photography

It’s Summer, you’re looking for something to do so grab a friend and head out to the County Fair! You’ll never know what you might end up doing while there!

Earlier this summer I went to the fair with a couple of my Senior Models Abby and Kendall… this is some of the fun I captured…

Needless so say, they had a blast!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

Challenge Shoot – Whiteout!

Posted on February 13, 2019 by Jim Tincher Photography

I love doing “Challenge Shoots”! It had been awhile since the last time I had shot a Challenge Shoot. Last year was so busy and lots of things happening that I just couldn’t get very many done. I’m vowing this year I will return to taking on the challenges….

The first challenge of the year is a Whiteout theme…. traditionally when it comes to Whiteout Themes in the Winter you think of doing something related to winter, snow or ice…. But I started thinking what else is white that we see all the time? It’s simple, clouds… clouds are white! But who or what lives in the clouds?

The Story

What could be more whimsical than a cloud? As children we would gaze and wonder at these puffs of air laced with water, and dream as they took on mysterious shapes.

According to ancient Greek mythology clouds were not actually ‘clouds’ at all, but rather a group of young nymphs called Nephelai – the daughters of two Titans.

These cloud spirits – depicted as both young and beautiful – spent their days collecting water from the rivers, and then floated up to the heavens. When their pitchers were full they poured water down from the sky, nourishing the earth and feeding the streams of their brothers.

Perhaps this is the dream William Shakespeare referred to when he wrote: “That, if then I had waked after a long sleep, will make me sleep again; and then, in dreaming, the clouds me thought would open and show riches ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked I cried to dream again.”

Nicole – Whiteout

Photo shoots don’t happen in a vacuum, I can’t emphasize enough how dependent I was on the team that made this all happen!

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….

Summer Fun!

Posted on August 21, 2018 by Jim Tincher Photography

Shopping Carts, no license required…

Summer…. it’s about travel, beaches, staying up late, hanging out with friends…. and doing things that would normally get you in trouble if your parents were watching….
