Reception Book

Posted on October 18, 2009

Several months ago I came across “The Album Cafe“; they offer some marvelous templates for press-printed books. I really liked their reception book, so I created this past week one for Bob and Krissy as a wedding gift (I hope they will like it). I sent the pages to WHCC last night — can not wait to see the finished product.

I wanted to share a couple of the pages with you. The first one is the cover page (of course the original will not have my watermark on it )…

The second one is a page in the middle of the book…

I think this is a wonderful product to offer clients. This is something different that your normal reception book or large photo.

If you know of someone who is interested in an engagement session and would like to have a book created for their wedding reception, please let them know about my services

Thanks for stopping by today…

A Giveaway and A Template Switch

Posted on October 17, 2009

My sweet friend Lori directed my attention to an amazing giveaway over at “The Savvy Photographer”. Since I am still trying to build my business  I believe that the Workshop Workbook by Skye Hardwick will greatly improve the business side of my photography. Although my chances are slim in winning the Workshop Workbook, I still wanted to give it a shot. If I don’t win, I have to see if my funds allow to purchase the book (heavily discounted until October 21st).

Also, I made a template switch this past week. When I saw the template on my hosting company’s website, I knew that I wanted it . What I especially like about this template is that my visitors can see some of my work on my main blog-page. I probably will update the photos in my header more often so you can see what I am up to …

Thanks for stopping by today…have a super blessed weekend…

Bob & Krissy ~ Engagement

Posted on October 8, 2009

This past weekend I had the pleasure of taking photos with Bob and Krissy. What a super fun couple. Bob and Krissy are getting married on May 1st 2010. Too bad that I can’t be at their wedding; they are getting married in Ohio…

What I have learned over the past 4 months is getting out of my comfort zone. You see, I don’t like to be ‘bossy’ — it is just not in my nature. But when you are taking photos, you need to be ‘bossy’ . Bob and Krissy made it really easy for me – they followed my instruction without much grumbling .

So, here are some photos from the session at Scottsdale’s ‘Civic Center Mall’ (it is actually a park)…

Don’t they make a beautiful couple?

Krissy is a gorgeous woman…

This shot totally shows who Krissy really is – full of fun and laughter…

This is just a sweet shot (I think) …

Fun, fun, fun…

Thank you Bob & Krissy for allowing me to share these shots on my website. Now I am working on a little surprise for the two of you …

If you are looking for some couple/engagement photos, I would love to hear from you. Just fill out my contact form so I can get in touch with you.

Thank you for stopping by…I hope to see you soon at a session.

Fun Sister Session…

Posted on October 1, 2009

I had the opportunity to photograph two sisters this past weekend. Ashley and Katherine were so much fun to hang out with and snap the shots. Girls – you rock!!!!

Here are a couple of my personal favorite shots. I know that Heidi (the girl’s mom) might not agree with me — but that is okay…

Well, Katherine is a beautiful young lady. I think that Katherine had a lot of fun during this session (I hope). The great thing was that she followed all my directions – so sweet…

The next shot is my husband’s favorite …

And of course, I have to share Heidi’s favorite shot …

Here are some shots of Ashley. I fell in love with her freckles…She reminded me of myself — I too had a lot of freckles (still have) .

My personal favorite…

My husband’s favorite…

and Heidi’s favorite (well she had two favorites, but I am only going to share one – lol) …

I also want to share a photo of both of them in one shot. I just love Ashley’s big smile in the background and Katherine’s thoughtful composure…

Let me know what you think. I know that I had a blast with these two sisters. Now I am getting mentally ready for my next photo session on Saturday – Engagement at Scottsdale Park (I am so giddy)…

Thanks for stopping by today…I hope to see you soon.
