’67 Shelby GT500 Coupe Mustang | Lil-Red | photography by Scott Walz

Just to give you a little back story to this photography session, the owner of this ’67 Shelby GT500 Coupe Mustang is a long-time client and friend. So you can just imagine how many times over the years we have heard our client glowingly speak of Lil-Red. We were quite surprised and honored when he dropped in the studio to ask Scott to photograph his car. Of course Scott said a resounding YES! So after a few phone calls to work out the details of the photo shoot you can see the results and the proud owner. We are blessed to have the best clients!

Particulars:

Engine 428 Cobra Jet

Transmission: Top Loader 4 Speed

Rear Differential: 3.89 Limited Slip

The Louisville Palace | photographer Louisville ky | studio walz advertising

It just never gets old no matter how many years you have been in business. Studio Walz has been doing advertising work since we open our doors in 1992. We have become accustom to seeing our work in magazines and billboards. But as I said it just never gets old and it’s always flattering seeing our work in print.

The Louisville Palace was so impressed with Scott’s photographs from a recent wedding that they wanted to use it in their advertising. Check out this page from the Louisville Bride.

The Louisville Palace is a great place to photograph and we appreciate the many compliments we have received from that wedding guests and customers. Feel free to look at our blog for Nikki and Jace’s wedding photos or on our website under the heading of weddings.

Breast Reconstruction Awareness | BRA DAY LEX Event

It's now time for me to talk about something extremely personal that happened to me earlier this year. In January, I found out that I had breast cancer and life as I know it may never be the same. The bright side of this seemingly tragic story is that Dr. Sandra Bouzaglou (Dr. B.) of The Center for Plastic Surgery, a client of Studio Walz, was my answer to life after a double mastectomy. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to photograph her and her office staff last year and in December she was speaking to Scott about a project that she wanted Scott's help with. The main goal of the project was to raise awareness of Breast Reconstruction and to raise funds for The Kentucky Pink Foundation. Scott would be photographing a few of her amazing patients for a book she wanted to create with their incredible stories through breast cancer and breast reconstruction. Wow, I never knew that in December that I would be facing the journey that so many women have walked before me including Scott's sister that he lost to breast cancer.Throughout the year Scott and Dr. B. traveled across Kentucky to photograph these wonderful ladies in their homes to help create the backdrop for their heartfelt stories. This project became more than another job for Scott it was a truly an emotional road he traveled as well.

I am extremely fortunate to have a wonderful supporting husband and the support of many family and friends throughout my journey. The power of God and the power of prayer was evident throughout my recovery. Now it's time to help other women know that they too can be made whole again.

Scott and I would like to invite everyone to attend the BRA DAY LEX Event (Breast Reconstruction Awareness) on October 17th at the Carrick House. It will be an event that you will never forget. Please click on the link to purchase tickets. Also at the event, the book "Looking Good to Feel Good" will be unveiled. Please come and meet these amazing women that have opened their lives to all of us.

Charlotte Roper | Lexington Ky Commercial Photographer

Did you know that most of our clientele comes to us by recommendation from other clients, friends and family. That's how we where first introduced to Charlotte by someone Scott has known for many years. Charlotte needed a business portrait and we were happy to oblige. Well as one thing leads to another, Charlotte was writing a book about her personal life's journey to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She asked Scott to do the honor of photographing her for the book jacket. We are always excited about these kinds of projects because it's a big moment in someone's life and we are happy to see them through this big step.

Charlotte was kind to bring us an autographed copy of her new book "Who do you Serve? when it was published. Scott and I were both excited to see it. At first, I didn't feel that I had the time to read it so I placed it in our lobby area for all to see. So many people have walked in our door and have gone straight to it. Clients asking why we have this book on display and nicely commenting on the beautiful book cover. Now, I can't believe I have waited so long to dig into this thought provoking book and I want to personally thank Charlotte for giving it to us. Warm regards, Valorie

Carly | Lexington Ky Commercial Photography

If you are thinking hmmm....she looks a little familiar it's because you have seen her. She is one of the many White, Greer and Maggard Orthodontics patients that we have photographed for their advertising needs. You may have seen her in the March Chevy Chaser/Southsider Magazine.

Carly is a special young lady to us because we have been photographing her since she was a baby. So you can just imagine how excited we were when we found out that we would be photographing her again. You may have even seen her photographs along with her sister lining our walls over the years.

Carly is one of those children that we have watched grow up right before our eyes to become a beautiful young lady. She comes from a wonderful family that loves and supports her. My best, Valorie

Sydney and Kelsey | Georgetown Ky Commercial Photographer

It was exciting when we received the phone call from White, Greer & Maggard Orthodontics that their next advertising models would be sisters that we have been photographing for most of their lives. I still remember Sydney and Kelsey coming to our portrait studio as cute little girls wearing cute little dresses. Now these precious little girls have become beautiful young ladies.

It's always exciting and fun during our commercial photography shoots.

I believe they were just as excited as we were to see them again. They had a blast being photographed. I'm not sure who had a better time, the girls or Scott. He loves to photograph fun loving people and that's a great description for these sisters. Laughter could be heard throughout our

portrait studio

We couldn't have been more pleased with their black and white photographs. I hate to brag more than I have already but Scott is a great black and white photographer. His work shows so much emotion and depth that I just love.

Soon these girls' photographs will grace the front window of our portrait studio. It's exciting to be showcased in such a prominent place. We even have plans for their portraits to hang on the walls of the studio. Valorie

Rev Stephen Palmer | Lexington Ky Commercial Photographer

There are those people in our lives that we admire for many reasons and Steve Palmer is one of those people. He has played an important role in my life whether he knows it or not. You see, he has been the Associate Pastor of my church, Second Presbyterian Church, for many years and has been there for many important times in my life. He is now retired and will be missed by many but particularly by me. I was honored to be asked to photograph Steve for a wall portrait that will hang in our church. I have chosen two pictures to show you, one that now hangs at Second Presbyterian Church and one that I gave him as a personal gift. My best to Steve and his family, Scott.

White, Greer & Maggard Orthodontics | Lexington Ky Commercial Photography

Have you seen White, Greer & Maggard Orthodontic's new office in Hamburg? If you have, you've seen our portraits adorning their walls. We have been doing work for White, Greer & Maggard Orthodontics for many years and are honored to have our work hang in their office (Nicholasville office as well). The people in the portraits are actually their patients they send to us to photograph, then they use these images for advertising. What a great way to advertise is with your actual patients! Some may seem familiar to you, as you may have seen them in the Chevy Chaser/Southsider monthly magazines.

Also, you may have noticed that the pictures we are showing you are not just of our work but the interiors of their office. They actually have Scott travel to each office and photograph the interiors for later use on their website. Kind regards, Valorie
