I have changed up my digital file presentation so much over the past few years in an attempt to find the perfect package.  And, now I believe my journey has ended.  Look at this!  I am in love with a cd case…takes so little to make me happy!  I know, so dramatic!  But, check this out…

I have many more designs to.  But, this ones really spoke to my style as well as to that of this particular bride & groom.  Love it!

I hope you all had a very special and happy Valentine’s Day!  I am a day late with this post, but I was busy yesterday celebrating with my sweetheart and staying clear from work and the computer.  We did such fun things as working out at the gym and cleaning our house…how romantic!  And, my present to him was doing the laundry.  We’ve been traveling around so much the laundry hamper had begun to take over our room.  He did, however, agree to accompany my sister and I to the afternoon showing of Valentine’s Day.  And, I will say it is cute and a great vday movie for all!

My sister, Katie, and I happen to have the same taste in movies…and, on more occasions than one she has left me a message saying she just came out of such and such movie while I am in the same such and such movie.  So, naturally it made sense to see Valentine’s Day together while she was in town over the weekend.  We are both in the habit of seeing movies by ourselves.  It’s something I picked up in NYC over a decade ago…whoa!  When I first moved there I didn’t know many people, so I would often sneak into a movie alone as the previews were starting.  Now, 10 years later, I find my sister living in the big apple doing the same.  Although, now I’d say we’re both proud to be seeing movies by ourselves…and, we have each other to chat with about them.  I love the movies!  I know I have blogged about that before, but there is just something about getting totally lost in someone else’s story…I love it!

So, there’s my tangent for the day.  I have Avatar in 3D on my radar for this week.  I normally see movies when they first some out, but I have been pushing that one back and back.  But, I’m told I will love it.  So, keep you posted!

Here’s a little valentine I made for my friend Regan out of her mini-session V-day pics!  Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

I really am!  I am obsessed with all things retro and vintage.  You’ve seen it in the props I use, and you have seen it some of my designs for after the shoot.  When I stumbled upon a series of old tv designs, I had to have them!  Here is my first sneak peek of one of my favorites.  I have 4 more designs to play around with and share with you.  I thought this image of one of my favorite couples looked just perfect!  Enjoy the show!  Coming soon: a 30×40 canvas of the image below!  Drive by the studio soon to see it hanging in the window!

I was having a bout with insomnia a few months back, and couldn’t sleep.  So, while Greg snored away I was secretly reading Twitter with my comforter pulled over my head.  It’s amazing how bright those iphones can be.  Anyway, as I read through tweets about photography workshops, Big Brother, the latest from CNN, more Big Brother I found the most amazing tweet from Lena Hyde of Design Aglow: seeking beautiful studios to feature in upcoming issues!  Me being exhausted, yet unable to sleep thought well, I’ve got some new shots of the studio, let’s give it a try.  I jumped out of bed as Greg mumbled something…and, I replied something along the lines of email, pictures, TWITTER, Lena…and, I think he was back to snoring by the time Twitter came out of my mouth.  I ran down to the computer, emailed over a few pictures at some ungodly hour, and low and behold I received a call from the one and only Lena Hyde the next day.  We spoke a bit about the studio, why I decided to go forward with it, how I decorated, etc.  I couldn’t believe we were just chatting away like we were long lost friends.  Next thing I know I receive an email about submitting photos, and another about scheduling an interview, and we were off!

For those of you nonphotography friends reading, Lena Hyde is an incredible children’s photographer residing in Palm Beach, Florida.  She hosted a workshop, Learnfest, with 3 other photographers last April…right around the time I was deciding what my next step was for my business.  It truly is because of Learnfest that I decided to take the leap with opening the studio.  Lena also has a company called Design Aglow.  I draw a lot of inspiration from their blog, and have utilized many of their product offerings over the years.  It is one on my most coveted websites to visit!

To not only be on their blog right now, but to be a part of Issue #10: The Next Big Thing, is a huge honor for me.  I definitely don’t think I am the next big thing, but I like to think I am always trying to search out what is new and different for my business and for my clients.  Design Aglow has definitely been a part of that! So, without further ado, here are a few snippits from the article currently out.  The whole article is 18 pages long, so I am unable to post it in it’s entirety.  But, I would definitely recommend purchasing the fabulous Issue #10.  It is over 170 beautifully crafted pages, with incredible stories and loads of inspiration!

I love the holidays!  And, I love this family!  I photographed Lydia twice last year, and was thrilled when her Mom decided she wanted to do a shoot when all the kids were in town.  So, we all got together one evening last week.  I loved they still had all of their decorations up, and it was fun to figure out what good spots to shoot in.  With lasagna cooking in the oven the house smelled like home, and you could see the love between them all.  That’s what the holidays are all about!  They are hoping for a good one to add to their family wall…I think they have some great ones to choose from!
