Scott Russell Photography bio picture
  • Welcome to Scott Russell Photography!

    Welcome and thank you for visiting!

    I’m a Jacksonville photographer who loves capturing the beauty and character of my subject through the lens.

    I fell in love with photography years ago while traveling the world in the US Navy. My long time passion grew into the desire to pursue my photography dreams by starting a portraiture business.

    Specializing in Creative Art Portraiture for Individuals, Couples, Families and Seniors. I'm also available for business portraits, sports and sport related photography and events.

    I believe in providing a personalized service, tailored to your needs. To me, photography is a way to capture time, as small of a piece it may be, for years to come. Help me capture you in a moment of time.

At the same time, I’ll throw in some senior model cards… they’re like business cards but cooler and they have your name and photo on there. These are for you to pass out to all your friends… so they know who you are… Na, j/k they’re for you to pass out so they know who took all those awesome photos!! Me!

Then, for every friend that books a senior photo session with me (at my regular price), you will get CASH!!! Yeah, I said cash! I know those cars don’t run on water… right??

So what do you get out of this? Well to start, some awesome photos. Then if you refer your friends and they book a session you’ll get cold hard cash! Plus, you’ll also get 50% off your FULL senior photo session!!

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 – How To Delete Watermark Presets

I’ve been using the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 beta for about 8 months now. In that time I’ve created several different watermark presets but have not really had time to manage those watermarks. Now that the final release version is available, I’ve updated and installed the final version and deleted all beta version.

The nice thing I found out was that all my watermark presets transferred over to the final release version which was super nice. The only problem now was that I needed to do a little house cleaning and delete some of the watermark presets I created.

Here in-lies the problem… or at least I thought it was… continue on…

OpLove – Jacksonville Photographer

The photos and other content of this publication do not constitute or imply any endorsement or recommendation by the Department of Defense.

It’s official. I’ve been accepted as an Operation: Love Reunited (OpLove) photographer!

Operation: Love Reunited is a non-profit organization that provides free photo sessions to deployed or soon to be deployed active duty military and their family. As a photographer, I volunteer my time and talent in providing free photo sessions and a free 4×6 photo album to the deployed service member.

Our service members put their lives on the line for us every day and this is a great way to give back to them. I know first hand what it’s like being away from family and friends for months on end as I’ve served in the U. S. Navy for 10 years and experienced several deployments myself. I wish this service would have been around back then but I’m happy that it is now and that I can be a part of it.

If you’d like more information on Operation: Love Reunited. Please visit their web site listed below. Also, if you know of a service member and his or her family that would benefit from this service, please direct them to the web site or to me and I can help them!
