Bridal Show!

My first bridal show is this Sunday! Super excited to meet all the fun brides and learn about their stories.

I'll be giving away a free engagement shoot there too, so if you're getting married, come by and enter to win!

New Album Cover Sleeves!

I've been crushing my brain (i know, not really a nice thought is it?) and working like a horse finishing up my bridal show display. Its really fun amidst the craziness, and has brought me to new ideas about my presentation. So again, I'm here today to show off another little goodie my brides receive when they either purchase or choose a package that has an album in it. Its a cute new "sleeve-type" cover for you to carry around and show off to all your family and friends! Each bag is sewn unique and features a bow enclosure on top! Fabrics will include a variety of quilt squares and others sewn together. Since this is just a sample sleeve, in the future I note to sew inside a little thicker fabric to house the album and keep it safe from bangs and bumps it may encounter.



Hope you enjoy! My brides are going to be spoiled this summer =p

My dream come true.

I know this isn't my usual post, but I'm so excited I have to share it on here to you all. I've been dreaming about riding a motorcycle for about a year now. And now that I'm hooked on the supercross, I had to make it come true. So I just wanted to post a photo of me and Jeremy in our full gear :]

Work space and Packaging fun!

I'm excited to show off some new packaging ideas I'm offering my bride's! Its not all finished yet, but it will be before my May bridal show! I think the best part about my business, is that I am obsessed with weddings. Really. Ask my best friend Nikki. Its all we talk about! Anyways, I try to relate how I would want to be treated into what I do, so I think its important to treat the bride and groom and shower them with nice things they deserve and can remember. I love the idea of surprising them with things they didn't expect, which is the fun part of it all.

All prints are wrapped in cello to be protected during shipping or moving. After this, they are wrapped in tissue paper, sealed, and packed carefully in a photo box!



This is just a fun banner I'm sewing together for the bridal show :]



All packages that get their negatives will receive a cute eco-friendly kraft box, and a USB card! CD's are great, but the images start to deteriorate after time. And USBs don't. Plus, they are re-usable! So fun. PS. I love that "tiffany" teal. Melt.



I'm in the process of creating my own "office" space. I realized that I sit too much in my room and do all my handling on my desk, but it creates a negative mood for my room. Moving it into the back sewing room and having to go outside to get to it leaves me the excitement of going to my own space. Much more positive!





Enjoy.

Senior Session

I did a senior session of my Mom's boss' son when I was at home and I was super excited about our location. I've always loved this park; its so wild! So I was happy with the results. The sun was good to me that day as well. More to come!

Recent Works

Sorry for the lack of posts! I've literally been the busiest I've ever been! Its a nice feeling, but so overwhelming when it all cools down. Anyway, enjoy these two shots of some recent work.

The Radiance Effect www.myspace.com/theradianceeffect

I'm trying to debate what I should be investing in right now. As I'm working towards getting my wedding photography up and growing, I need some new things. Desperately. For example, I would love to have a 27" iMac now that I'm full frame. That would easily help some editing with such a nice luscious screen. I also need a new blog/website. This blog is NOT cutting it. We'll see what new things I get!

New 5D

I recently purchased a Canon 5d for my birthday! I got it just as I came home for spring break, and I am soooo excited to use it. I know a lot of people say, the body isn't important, the lenses do. And I agreed wholeheartedly. But I've changed my mind now. Now that I have the 5d, the quality in my photos has just sky-rocketed from what it used to be. Maybe it won't look like it to you, but it makes all the difference in my eyes. I am so much for confident with my new full frame. So, really, with the whole body vs. lens debate, I'd say you need both. Once my magical shock of this new camera wears off, I'm going to be itching for some L's. You really just need it alllll!

Enjoy these new pictures I took of my sister when I first got the camera in the mail.
