I heard that line somewhere once and realize that this is what life is all about right? change. constant change. The way we chose to either embrace it or fight it seems to be directly linked to our happiness meter.  So my last post was in January explaining the changes coming to the studio- I’m sure by this point no one is “anxiously waiting to see what the blog will hold”… haha. you should know better! But what a season of change we’ve had!  I still am thinking its January until I walk outside and am blinded by the sun and remember, “oh yeah, its May.” May! So we are happily getting some of our ever waiting changes to come done. We do have lots to come too- some new branding materials on the hopefully-not-too-distant-horizon. a new logo- to be unveiled when the rest arrives. A new employee, whom you’ll all get familiar with this season I’m sure! and as always as we are now full force wedding season a whole new crop of newlyweds-  and there are so many beautiful exciting locations I get to shoot at this year! Can’t wait to see more of you out and about in the months to come!

oh! the images below are Lauren & Jordan- they were part of the kick-off to our wedding season- just a couple images- small taste of their day.

As I was browsing some of my favorite photographers I came across a fun little project. I have been feeling the need to shoot for my self as a means to enjoy photography in a different way. When I saw this project on photographing hue and texture I knew this would be good for me, so here it goes!

enjoy!

When I first started takeing photo’s. I had NO desire to photograph people. I was drawn to taking photo’s of the details of architecture, mainly windows and doors. I would hunt out old houses and barns and spend a long time working my way around the structure taking photo’s. Saturday as I sat in my car, in the rain, waiting for my session to arrive, I spotted this photo. Nothing fancy but, it is just my style! I want to re-purpose the windows and doors for something decorative in my home. I realize I need to shoot for myself more….Maybe that will be on my list of New Years resolutions.

And wouldn’t this be a GREAT spot for kiddo photos? siblings siting on the stoop? eating ice cream cones? Ok who want’s a photo shoot here?  Funny now, how how ever many years later, I can’t not think of adding people to a photo.

Happy Monday:) enjoy!

Christmas is defiantly my favorite holiday. Our tree goes up as soon as it can after Thanksgiving. Christmas music plays on Pandora where ever I go. We drive to see houses lit up. We decorate gingerbread houses. We watch all kinds of Christmas movies. I do everything possible to soak in the season as much as possible and I hope you do too!

enjoy!

Have you seen all the beautiful new products & contest for pro photographers on http://www.DesignAglow.com?

I love Design Aglow products for photographers!  I have a hard time purchasing template because I love to design and I usually tweak stuff so much that it’s just easier to start from scratch. But, Design Aglow produces some great products that are pointless to try and do on my own. My current favorite is the Le petit jardin borders that I have adapeted for all my 2010 marketing materials…cuz I can just use it for the intended purpose.

Maybe I should take some photo’s of my new marketing materials? check back maybe I can get to that when I’m at the studio tomorrow…

For now enjoy these beauties from the Design Aglow site.
