Our Christmas Card Photo

Jarrett has been watching the leaves pile up in the backyard for a few weeks. He keep meaning to rake them, but it's a good thing he didn't. We used the leaf-covered backyard as a backdrop for our Christmas card picture.

At lunchtime today our wonderful neighbor, Agnes, took some portraits of us. So now you get to meet the team behind Hines-Baker Visuals. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Holiday Cards

It's not too late for you to schedule a holiday card appointment with Hines-Baker Visuals. Come to think of it, we haven't taken our photo yet either!

I'm used to shooting sporting events at MSU's Dudy Noble Field. But when the baseball coach's family schedules a portrait shoot with me, I get to shoot portraits there! I started with the Cohen family in the stands and then moved to the field.

I like to have clean backgrounds in our sports pictures. So it was neat to work in different elements of the field that I would normally try to keep out of my pictures.

I had a lot of fun and enjoyed spending time with them. Their daughters are very sweet and their dog - Chance - even tagged along. After getting to know them better, I found out they spent time at UF as well. There are more Gator connections than we thought in Starkville!

Our New Logo

Nike. Coca-Cola. Target.

Each company has a distinguishable logo, and we are willing to bet that you can picture each one in your mind. They feature unique designs and only use a few colors.

We wanted our own logo to have similar characteristics. Jarrett and I teamed up with Judy Smith, a graphic designer who works in Mississippi, to develop a logo. After looking at a number of prototypes, we took elements from several runners-up and combined them into what we think is a winner.

You might see the design in black, blue or teal, on our business cards or Web site in the future.
