Lensbaby Portrait Kit
Lensbaby Ultimate Portrait Kit
Lensbaby makes available two popular lens kits to ignite creativity in
photographers’ senior portrait sessions
Portland, OR – July 21, 2011 – Just in time for senior portrait season, Lensbaby announces today the
availability of two portrait kits, which bundle together all the Lensbaby gear needed to take cutting edge
senior portraits that are ideally suited to teens’ contemporary tastes. The Portrait Kit and the Ultimate
Portrait Kit include Lensbaby Creative Effects SLR lenses plus key optics and accessories to provide a
wide range of creative, dramatic, and fun in-camera photo effects.
With senior portrait season ramping up over the summer, the Lensbaby Portrait Kits give photographers
everything they need for contemporary senior portrait photography in a single package. Feedback from
industry leading senior portrait photographers like Holli True guided Lensbaby’s selection of the gear for
each kit.
“I absolutely love using the Double Glass and Sweet 35 Optics in my Composer Pro”, said Holli True.
“The selective focus gives my images a unique and cool effect that has taken my Senior Portraits to a
whole new level! I strive to capture movement and fluidity in my images and Lensbaby helps me
achieve that look with dynamic blur, still allowing me to maintain the clarity where I choose. My seniors
are smitten with the modern and stylish look of their portraits. They love having pictures that are unique
and original—just like them."
