Rochester Photographer re-brands ⋆ John Schlia Photography

This time of year always has us all reflecting on thankfulness. I am most thankful for my family. Of course having kids of my own makes me talk about my memories of my childhood. I was recently helping my mom get her house ready to sell and I had hundreds (maybe thousands) of photos to go through. I didn’t care much about the pictures of the trees or geckos from our trips to Florida but I loved reliving what Santa brought me for Christmas (check out the pattern on that couch!)

4 or 5 yr old John in a PJ onsie holding Mr. T action figure. — I pity the fool that made that pattern on the couch. I can still feel how scratchy it was, although it did the best job at hiding all the food I spilled on it.

Looking through everything also made me miss the 80s, yes I said it!

I felt that it was time to rebrand John Schlia Photography a bit. The iconography helped influence my new look for John Schlia Photography. I wanted to bring back those bright, bold colors and the sense of playfulness that I had as a child.

4 or 5 yr old John in a PJ onsie holding Mr. Potato head on Christmas. — I totally see where my kids get it from. My poor parents.

4 or 5 yr old John in a brown pants and blue turtle neck standing in front of the christmas tree. — Super casual on Christmas Eve. (You probably can’t see it, but that blue wrapping paper has Garfield all over it. My dad loved Odie and I still have his ornament.)

I had a bowl cut and tiny glasses in 1984. Here I am sitting in front of an Atari 400. — Computers have always been a big part of my life. I don’t remember not having this Atari 400. Soon after this photo was taken, we got a newer Atari and I remember playing this awesome Bruce Lee game. Then in 1986 I distinctly remember building my first computer from scratch.

4 yr old me standing in front of a 1980's wooden tv console. — TVs today have no flair. Also, note that I started in bow ties early. Damn hipsters.

I felt that my old logo was too stuffy, afterall it was just black and white. I am more fun than two non-colors and this new John Schlia Photography will reflect that. I hope you love the new John Schlia Photography as much as I do.

New! John Schlia Photography
