Welcome to Fun Photo. I'm Dave Pickett the primary photographer and owner of Fun Photo. Our goals at Fun Photo are to capture the emotion of an event with quality photos at reasonable prices and to have some fun while doing it.
Over the years, digital photography has seen tremendous change. After starting digital photography in 1999 using my first point-and-shoot Sony Mavica with 1.6 megapixels, I'm now using Nikon professional digital SLR cameras with over 12 megapixels and a variety of great professional lenses. This is the same equipment used at professional sporting events. I'm a member of Professional Photographers of America and the Association of Professional Photographers of Illinois. I have also instructed adult education classes in digital photography at Lincoln Land Community College.
At Fun Photo, our portfolio of services includes high school senior portraits, family portraits, school portraits, dances, performing groups, product displays, class reunions, architecture, anniversaries, and executive headshots. Even with all of this, my personal favorite has continued to be sports photography. I really enjoy working with young athletes during league and team picture days. We work hard to get some great photos and the kids also get to have fun. Many of our team fun shots have been priceless. Our list of sports action photography includes football, soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, track & field, volleyball, swimming, golf, cheerleading, poms, wrestling, bowling, marching band, rodeo & horse jumping. You'll find our photos in the local newspaper, high school sports programs, yearbooks, brochures, advertisements and especially on the walls and desks of athletes, parents and grandparents. And don't forget to check out our Sports Action photos on the walls of Krieger's Restaurant in Taylorville.
I have two sons who were active in sports and who I am very proud of. I have always enjoyed viewing pictures of their sports accomplishments. Viewing these pictures rekindles many great memories. I hope you find images on this site that have a special meaning to you.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. I always welcome any comments, both good and bad.
Thanks, Dave Pickett
Note: If you find any images you would like removed from an event, please email me and let me know. My intent is to photograph 'fun' moments in our lives and make these available for you to enjoy.
