something to blog about...

I was totally stoked to get this album in today, every time I open up orders I feel like it's Christmas. Since I also just got this fabulous orange pillow for the studio I thought I would photograph the two together! This album is also difficult to describe so I thought I would post some images.
Don't you just love the orange? I have been lusting over this pillow for months, and finally decided it needed a home on the yummy brown couch in the studio!
For those of you who don't know I have a pillow fetish, not joking I think we have 9 pillows on our bed, 6 in the living room, and now we have 8 in the studio! Oh my gosh I just realized how out of control I am when it comes to pillows!
Well have a great Thursday and if there are any of you out there that have the same pillow addiction...high five!

Calm before the storm

To all my beloved readers/clients/friends:

I just wanted to give everyone a quick heads up about my upcoming schedule. As of this moment, I have booked all but 2 Saturdays for this upcoming summer. With the number of weddings on the books and HS seniors we're expecting, I'll be running around like a headless chicken starting sometime in late May!

Why am I telling you this? Well for one, if you're planning on a summer photo session you need to get scheduled soon! And two, I still have lots of openings this Spring! We've finished building the new studio (for indoor sessions), and I've got a great list of gorgeous Spring locations (even a few covered ones if the weather isn't cooperating).

I'll be updating the calendar on the website this week with our upcoming Spring specials, so keep your eyes peeled and get scheduled soon!

lighting practice

I was working with my hot shoe flashes today and here is a sample of some of what I did. As always Waylon was my model, he is really easy to photograph because he is really lazy and will do just about anything for a treat.

soon to be 3

Last Saturday I got to photograph a tummy session! I only hope that I look as cute as Krystin when I am 8 months pregnant!
This couple is so in love and I can't wait to see them with their new little one when she comes along!

January wedding

Here is a sneak peak at our first 2009 wedding! I have know Dan for gosh years, he has been in several weddings that I have had the honor of photographing, and I was thrilled that I got to photograph his wedding. Jennifer was gorgeous and the wedding party was awesome! It helped that most of them had been through the Alyssa Jul routine!
I hope you had an amazing honeymoon, enjoy your photographic appetizer!
