Great news

So far we've already earned $300 toward our goal for our Charity Benefit! Check it out here and here.

Family Fun

This was a great family session a while ago that i never posted. I had an awesome assistant (also named Amber!) who was amazing with the kids. I should bring her on every shoot! It's fun to have our students come along for shoots to see what they're learning in action! Thanks a bunch, everyone. It was a beautiful day, and you are beautiful people.




























It's still nice and warm here in Oklahoma... what's the weather like where you are?

Fife Photography Charity Benefit

How does $100 = $200?

We need you.

$100 equals $200 only with your help. Your job is simply to come in for a photo session. Not only will you receive an awesome photo session by yours truly at a highly discounted rate in most cases, but we will donate your session fees to help the children in Africa. Additionally, we will price match your donation so that $100 really does equal $200. So you get your Christmas cards taken care of and you make a difference on the other side of the world. It’s a win-win deal. (Except for us because we have to fork the bill :)

Here’s the reason for this program: Reach the Children, a humanitarian organization that we are very close to, has a serious short term funding crisis. Although additional funding will come in several months, that funding will come long after many programs will be halted due to lack of funds. Please read the whole story here.

Our Goal: $8,000
We believe in helping with this urgent need. We are hosting a Charity Benefit for Reach the Children. Not only are we donating 100% of Session Fees and Print Orders, but we are PRICE MATCHING. That means your $100 + our $100 = $200. Our goal is to raise $8,000 with your assistance by the beginning of December.

We are now booking a limited number of sessions starting this Saturday. Because of the urgency of need, we have blocked out session times in our studio specifically for this benefit. See our website for all available time slots.

To fit the needs of many, we have 3 session options:

1. Donate $50+ and receive a 30 minute mini-session
2. Donate $100+ and receive a 30 minute mini-session as well as a web-sharing CD of all images, with our logo.
3. Donate $300+ and receive a 60 minute session as well as a mid-resolution CD with printing permission, no logo.

All additional Christmas card and print orders will be donated and matched as well. Please Click Here to book your session.

Don't live in Oklahoma, or don't need a photo session? You can still help. Click Here to donate.

You will be giving to friends, family, and yourself the gift of portraits, but you will also be giving the children in Africa a better quality of life.

Thank you for thinking of others as this Christmas Season approaches.

Dustin & Amber Fife

a fav.

Here's my favorite from a session we did a while ago. I'm just editing the images for print tonight, and i don't believe i ever posted this family on the blog! I'll have to put more up eventually, but here's one cute one just for now. It's going to make a sweet 10x20.

Free Gift to FB fans

So you have cute photos from Trick or Treating. Now what do you do with them?

Print a 4x6 for the album?

Why not make it snazzy.

I created a cute little png that you can place your photo behind in photoshop.

It's sized for printing a 4x6 photo.

Go to our Facebook Page here to find the link. Read the instructions for using the template with photoshop. Still confused? Leave me a comment over there, and i'll answer.

If people like this, there may be more in the future. (It was fun to make)

You're welcome.

Published again....wahoo!

There's a guy next door to us in our downtown office who is in publishing....he publishes magazines for homeschool kids. Really nice guy. We got to take his pic for his "letter from the publisher section." How's it look?

Edible Wedding Ring?

LOVE this picture.....so much SASS in only three ladies.




So when the preacher asked the best man to give the groom the bride's wedding ring, he pulled out a ringpop....so of course we had to get a picture after the wedding.



This guy REALLY wanted to do a James Bond pic. I happily obliged!





This was the bride's cousin....she's been taking Flamenco lessons for the last several years....AWESOME performance. So much fun to photograph.





I love it when you look at a potential location and vividly the shot that you want pops into your mind. The first words that came to my mind when I envisioned this photo was "Lady and the Tramp." I thought it was quite successful, don't you think? All that was missing was a bowl of spaghetti and a mandolin. Special thanks to Matt Martin for standing on a dangerous ledge with a heavy light stand in order to give me the effect I wanted.
