New Chairs!

I am exceptionally happy to show off the 'new chairs' for the studio!  I took some old, wooden chairs, had some paint laying around and a boring day and went to town!  I am so excited to begin working with these chairs, they have so much potential in the studio.  New backdrop from Orange Peel Backdrops are on their way, and will totally compliment the new chairs!   Being in Creative Photography for children is my passion!

Fantastic followup to the 80/20

5out of 5

Pros: Lightweight, Easy To Use, Durable, Consistent Output

Best Uses: Portraits

Describe Yourself: Pro Photographer

I have owned and used the Lumiquest 80/20 for years and always struggled with taking vertical images while using the 80/20. This new version really is versatile, vertical or horizontal. Attaches easily, and folds flat. Velcor on 'window' works well, and easy manipulate open or closed with one hand. Great product for external flash!

Fun February!

This month is reserved for planning, marketing and just re-energizing (like I need that!) for the studio and myself.  I have been doing some of the work that I, as a photographer, have wanted to do.  I was very excited to be able to put my ideas into reality, I have a ton more coming but here is a sneak peak!
Upper Left, Tess Frizzell, country music rising star and daughter to country music royalty, Shelley West and Alan Frizzell.  Upper Right, my good friend, Kayla, and her soon to be son, Bryce.  Bottom left, a series of 7 overlays with a beautiful gal, Allyson.  Bottom Right, the cover for the Daily News Baby Edition 2009.  I had a blast doing each one of these!

End of the Year !

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends! I know I did, this past week has been full of my beautiful daughters and one of my exchange daughters for the holidays! I received a scroll saw for Christmas so that I can begin making my own frames! I am super excited about this!
On another note, with the New Year happening this week and a New Year beginning, I have some awesome new offers and studio happenings to report! After the hussle and bustle of the season winds down, I will be announcing the portrait specials in store for this year, and its a busy one! They include our first annual "We're Bored" campaign, Valentine's Day card specials, Little Rascals sessions, Ballerina Sessions, and the upcoming Winter White Sale! So keep checking back!
Also, I'm heading to Nashville for a few days in January, for some education, a session with a new friend, and meeting some of my Facebook friends for the first time face to face. I'm really excited about what I'm bringing back from this conference!
