It's been a while for a post from us...so here it goes!

For quite some time, I said no more seniors, but every once in a while when I have the time in my schedule I can squeeze one in here and there. Today Maverick was up...we had some crazy weather this morning but it all worked out. Take a look...enjoy!

Tomorrow will be our last photo deliveries for the 2023 sports and portrait season! We will be open until Friday Dec 15th, after that we’ll be closed until the beginning of January after the new year to spend time with our kids and their significant others, friends and family. In January we’ll be back to do it all again in 2024! Thank you everyone, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year to you all!

One week later...my final wedding. An INCREDIBLY special couple, a beautiful couple, amazing families and in all honesty, THIS is how I wanted my final wedding to be, ON TOP OF THE WORLD, and we finished the night with an epic champagne sendoff (we ALL wore it)! Thank you Sarah and Brandon, as well as BOTH of your families (who I grew up with) for sharing your incredible day!

MAILE | 2023 SENIOR
Maile was a total ROCKSTAR for her senior session! She brought an open mind, a great smile and a stellar look to make one of my last senior sessions really amazing. Her images pretty much say it all!

Jeff | 2023 SENIOR
Let me start off by saying this, this young man, he loves America, guns, old cars, his truck and rock and roll! Jeff loves his cowboy hats, belt buckles and did I mention he LOVES his country! Jeff was SO FUN to photograph and pretty awesome that he's family to us. Crazy to think that my cousins Heather and Tim have a son old enough to be a SENIOR!

Aerianna | 2023 SENIOR
An amazing shoot to wrap up Aerianna's Senior year! I've been shooting this young lady's portraits for more years than I can remember so it was only fitting to capture her senior photos in the big city. She's quite a special young lady that we've watched grow up! Determined and full of s***k, a smile that will light up a room and a heart of gold. Keep shooting for the stars kid, there's nothing that can stop you!

02/10/2022

We spent the day in Chicago yesterday with this amazing couple. We have watched Brandon and Sarah grow together, now, to soon become husband and wife. We cannot express how grateful we are to get to share these milestones with them.

We have been CRAZY busy with back to school and sports photos with our schools and rec sports! We took some time out to photograph the senior class at Washington Twp yesterday morning, kind of a tradition after the class photo to let the kids cut loose a little and have some fun. Here's a quick mashup/memory for the Senior Class of 2023.

21/04/2022

Just to clarify and follow up my post from yesterday!!!

We WILL still be shooting photos of sports with some schools and parks sports, we are cutting out all of the extra work that we have piled on for so many years.. Aimee and I are STILL going to be working with 4K+ athletes for some years to come. I’m not pulling the plug yet on this business!!

21/04/2022

Change is good!!!

Looking forward into May 2022, I’ve decided that I’ll be letting my website www.funkhouserfotography.com expire for good. We are looking forward into the future, with the rising costs around us and being able to keep our costs to a minimum for the business and clients.

My focus has changed in the 14 years of shooting photos! Originally I shot sports, headshots, seniors, weddings, product, publications, heck, you name it, I’ve probably done it! With that being said, we’ve scaled back to focus on mainly sports, actually about 4500 athletes every year, but hey, who’s counting! It’s still a LOT for 2 people to handle!

I still have quite a full schedule of seniors through next year but that’ll be it. (Edited from my original post, per my scheduler, handler, lady behind the scenes) I’m taking this step to have more time for my family and of course myself. As most of you know, photography is a second full time job for me (my other full time job I’ve held for 22 years) and will be retiring in the next 8 years! It’s time to take a step back and not work quite so much!

Riley | 2022 Senior!

Riley...let me tell you about Riley! She's one of the sweetest, witty and intelligent seniors that I've had the pleasure of working with. Doesn't surprise me one bit, she comes from a great family. The short amount of time that I had with her was enough to know she has a heart of gold and I dare anyone to stand in her way on her journey! Thank you Taylor and Chris for letting us be a small part of capturing Riley and her senior year!

Trent and Sarah

It's not too often I shoot engagements but every once in a while a special occasion comes along and I have to dust off my engagement camera and lenses. Trent and Sarah vow to continue to make one another laugh, smile and share their journey together and promise to keep track of their car keys!

Cameron | 2022 Senior
A well rounded young man and a great kid to be around. Focused, driven and competitive are just a few ways to describe Cameron. Not to mention, this fella had his pilots license before he could drive. There's was an element that brought a smile to his face when he was at the airport and with his car! These few photos (I think) pretty much say it all!

JENNA | 2022 Senior
Session #2 with Jenna didn't disappoint! We faced some CRAZY wind out on the beach (possibly one of the windiest we've faced out there), but Jenna (in typical Jenna fashion) was a champ and we captured some beautiful images for her to remember her senior year!

11/10/2021

Back from vacation straight into our seniors! Starting with Olivia...another one of our long time kiddos we've watched grow up into a lovely young lady with a heart of gold. Don't let her quiet demeanor fool you though. Stand this young woman in front of a 67 Chevelle SS and she's on FIRE!!!

01/10/2021

We are taking a much needed break for a week to recharge and prepare for all of our upcoming seniors and winter sports! We’ll be closed from 10/1/21 to 10/9/21! Any phone calls and emails will be returned on Monday when we return to our office! As one of my gold friends always says, “Be good to each other.”

Kylie | SC 2022 Senior

Okay, DEEP BREATH....this young lady...Stunning in every way. We've watched Kylie grow up from a little girl into an amazing, beautiful, intelligent, driven, athletic, young woman with a heart of gold. I can honestly say I had tears in my eyes this evening spending time with Kylie and her family. It's hard watching these kids grow up so quickly, but again, I'm so deeply honored that Jen and Randy would have us take Kylie's Senior photos.

18/09/2021

MAYBE just a little bit of oversharing, I'm calling it SENIOR SATRUDAY but PAIGE! SERIOUSLY can flip the switch and she goes from beauty to badass.

Paige | 2022 WT Senior
I think the photos speak for themselves. Paige was a TOTAL ROCKSTAR!

15/09/2021

Every senior we have the honor of working with is unique in their own way. The young lady we had the pleasure of working with tonight was truly one of the sweetest we’ve had a chance to work with in a totally new location, and her photos show it! Paige’s senior experience wjth us was truly a rockstar session! Sneaks coming in the next 24! MIC DROP!

02/09/2021

Spent the early morning with the Senior Class of 2022 at Washington TWP this morning! As always, a great group of kids that we've watched grow up since elementary school! MAKE IT YOUR BEST YEAR Senators!!

17/08/2021

Owen | 2022 Senior
Anyone who has the pleasure of meeting Owen, I'd consider them lucky. One of the kindest, talented young men you'll ever meet, not to mention one of the fastest runners I've ever met! We almost needed a wheel barrel to bring out this kid's running awards. It was only fitting that we spent all of our time at Sunset Park...at sunset, Owen's happy place!

2022 | Sydney
Jumping into her senior year on a beautiful evening. After a slight delay from her first session because of weather, she did an amazing job letting loose and really landing some amazing images!

14/07/2021

Our ordering link for team and sports photos is down until the beginning of August. It’ll be offline for some updating to make our online process a little more user friendly for our team sports. It will roll out in 2 phases and trust me, will make everyone’s life a little simpler!

Jenna | Class of 2022

WHAT!! There's NO WAY Jenna can be a Senior! Yep, and she brought it last night and it shows in her images! We traveled from a cute little soda shop to what almost seemed like we were walking into a fairytale! Watching this young lady grow up since she was a little girl has been nothing short of an adventure! Speaking of adventures, hope you have an amazing 5 weeks in Spain over your summer kid!

15/06/2021

Welcome to Class of 2022!! High School Seniors are the REAL DEAL now!!

Cooper | 2021

A mild mannered, calm young man with a lot of style with a LOVE of cars just briefly explains Cooper. This guy is going places in life! Chase your dreams and your dream car Cooper, it's there for the taking!

Abi | 2021 Senior
We tried for close to 9 months to get Abi's session in with many obstacles. SATURDAY was the day! The further north we drove the more it rained. BUT, we pulled it off! Abi is a confident, beautiful young woman who's following her dream to be a nurse! Awesome job Abi, you killed it!

06/05/2021

Luke....MAN OH MAN....Luke......yeah, there's so much to say about this guy. I've been close friends with Luke's parents for a VERY long time. This young man is FILLED with big dreams, bad ass cars, style, business sense, wit and so much more. His photos say it all. We are SO PROUD of you Luke, can't wait to see where the future takes you!! Thank you Brad and Amy for allowing us to be a part of Luke's Senior Year and his story in life!

Special thanks goes out to Mike Tezak and Drivers Gallery for having some badass unique locations!
