Your Bio

Welcome to Cheap Shots Photography by Cathy Drake! I'm using Smugmug to make it easier for people to view my photos! If you have a gallery here you can purchase pictures directly online! I've set the prices to be comparable to those of a good quality lab such as Galloways. Simply put a photo in your "cart" & you can check out the prices. (For example a 5x7 is just $3.00!)

My portrait prices include your sitting fee time, processing, printing of a minimum of 20 pictures and ALL pictures burned on a CD for your use. You get the RIGHTS to print your own pictures. The fees are 15 minutes for $30, 30 minutes for $55, 1 hour for $100 & 2 hours for $160. Children & family portraits usually take 15-30 minutes. Senior portraits can be as quick as 30 minutes & all the way to 2 hours. It depends on the number of locations & clothing changes.

If you have any questions please feel free to email me at cdrake@tigerpaw.com. Watch for more photos to be added!

Thanks for visiting!

May Fete 2008 Senior Girls : Hi Girls & Families!

I'm still working on pictures.  I have photos of the court & queen coming in.  I will add them here as soon as I finish them.  Watch also for a gallery of photos of the dances.

If you want to buy pictures - simply add them to your cart, mark the size you want & then do the checkout.  It's nice & safe.  A 4x6 is $1.00 & a 5x7 is $3.00.  Really affordable!  So go shopping & enjoy!  Don't shop just yet because I will keep adding pics.  They should all be on by Monday evening.  You can also make adjustments while you are in the shopping cart - such as zooming in.

Thanks much,
Cathy

May Fete 2008  First Graders : Hi everyone!

I'm still working on some pictures - but all of the First Graders are here!  

If you want to wait before purchasing - I have the dance ones to finish plus the court & queen entering.  

Purchasing online is simple.  Just put the photo you want to buy into your "cart", make any adjustments that you want to make (like zooming in), select the size then checkout.  It's nice & safe.  I've been using this site for over a year.  It's also very affordable.  The 4x6 is only $1.00 & a 5x7 is $3.00.

Thanks much!  Have fun shopping!

Rhoads Family : Hello Rhoads Family!

Thank you so much for your patience!  I've been working on these for quite some time.  I'm planning on printing these tomorrow (Friday) in Terre Haute.  I will then put all of them online & get a set of prints to Mandy.  I'm still going to have some corrections to make like opening eyes or moving a face in the group photos.  (When someone has time - can you count how many are actually in that group shot?)  I'll be in touch!  Start thinking about your choices for prints.  I'll print a list out for Mandy to fill out.

Okay - here's an update.  Mandy will have the prints this evening.  I wanted to tell you that there is a reddish tinge to these online.  Those that are being ordered through me will not have this!  I will make sure that the skin tone is a little better.  I will work on them at home as well.  I'll check with Mandy for the # of CD's that are needed.  All of Mary's prints & several for each family have already been paid for.  If you have any questions feel free to email me at cdrake@tigerpaw.com.  You can also call me at 217-463-4560.  


Thanks again!
Cathy

Smoky Mountains : Hi,

Hello everyone!  I hope you enjoy checking out my Smoky Mountain pictures!  I've had two wonderful trips there this year.  I'm looking forward to many more!  The summer trip involved the Junior Ranger program provided by the National Park Service.  It was a wonderful experience for my Niece!  The fall trip was a photography workshop at The Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont.  It is a wonderful facility that provides educational programs & experiences for all ages!  

If you'd like to purchase any of these prints - simply put them into your cart.  My prices are VERY reasonable!  Check everything out & enjoy!

Thanks,
Cathy

George Family : Hi,

I hope you like your pictures!  I've spoken with Kim.  I'll burn 3 CD's for you & she will mail them out.  I also told her that you could buy these here if you would like.  The lab that Smugmug uses prints very nice quality prints.  My prices are not quite as inexpensive as a Wal-Mart lab but they are comparable to higher quality labs.  My 4x6 price is $.50, 5x7 is $3.00 & 8x10 is $7.50.  You can also zoom in & crop as you want.   To check out the prices and other merchandise available, just put one of the pictures in your "cart".  The prices then come up.  You can empty the cart later if you change your mind.

If you have any questions just let me know!

Thanks,
Cathy

Little King & Queen contest : Hello families! 

The photos are on there way!  They should be here tomorrow - so I'll have them packaged & ready for Wednesday.  I'm trying to call everyone to let them know that I will be at the Wal-Mart parking lot on Wednesday from 3:45 - 4:15.  If you can stop in sometime during that 1/2 hour I'll give you the photos.  If not - I'll get a hold of you & arrange a way to get the pictures to you.  I hope to reach you by phone & see you on Wednesday.  I'll be in a red Honda CRV & parked  at the north end of the lot - closer to the gas station.  Thanks much!

I changed this gallery to skip the password.  I've put the pictures on this way because none of them are identified by name.  PLEASE CONTACT ME BY PHONE OR EMAIL IF YOU WOULD LIKE FOR YOUR CHILD'S PICTURE TO BE TAKEN DOWN!  I just felt that more people would be able to access this without the password.

The candids that were taken during the pageant are online now.  I'm sorry if I didn't catch your child with a photo.  The contest moved along quickly & I didn't get a picture of everyone.  These pictures may be purchased here.  A 4x6 is $.50 and a 5x7 is $3.00.  I had to do lots of color adjustments due to the light so take a close look at each one to see if you think you would like a larger print.  If it looks a little "grainy" online then it won't look very good as an 8x10. 

Email if you have any questions or concerns.  If you would like for your child' picture to be removed - let me know immediately by email at cdrake@tigerpaw.com.  

Remember - the portraits will be on a CD so you don't have to purchase them online.  The pictures taken during the pageant will not be on the CD & can only be purchased here. 

Thanks,
Cathy

Thanks for all of your orders so far!  I have finally recovered from being sick.  So sorry for the delay!  I've adjusted the big group picture.  I ordered a 16x24 print & it looks good.  I think you'll be pleased with it.  If you want to order one be sure to use picture #27 - the very last one.  I prefer matte finish but that is your choice.  Don't forget to keep the picture proportioned as a 4x6, 8x12, or 16x24.  That way you won't cut someone out.
