March 2007

We just got back from Vegas last night, fabulous pictures coming soon!!! 🙂 We had the best time ever…I learned so many cool camera/lighting tricks and heard some of the most incredible, influential photographers from around the world speak on topics like marketing, destination/luxury weddings, fashion photo shoots, workflow, etc. One of the best parts was being able to go through the most unbelievable tradeshow EVER. It took me 6 hours to walk the whole trade show floor and I bought so many cool things and got information on new product lines we'll start carrying in 2007 & 2008. I can't wait!!

I came home to hundreds of e-mails though so I will start responding soon (still unpacking here) since every time I tried to use the business center at the hotel, the line was out the door. :O I got in there one day just to delete the junk mail and that was about it. So I promise I'll respond to everyone this weekend. 😀

A lot of people know us exclusively for the wedding & event photography that we do, but not everyone realizes that we also do a lot of portrait work when we're not out shooting weddings! 🙂 Since we work with so many awesome vendors in the "wedding world" we started to realize that we all cross over in other markets together very easily, one in particular is the senior portrait market. Although some schools require their students to go to one specific studio in order to be included in the yearbook, a lot of students don't realize that many photographers (like us) are more than willing to take their senior portraits to the next level by doing on site photo shoots, providing hair & make-up services, albums, etc.

We teamed up with S&K Men's Stores, Five Star Limo and The Florist at Allisonville Nursery this week to create a promotion for local high school juniors & seniors. Select students at various high schools were invited to wear S&K's tuxes to school for the day to show off what fabulous tuxes they have and they were given a prom promotional packet to hand out to students going to prom…this included information on Five Star Limousine's stretch Hummer limo, The Florist at Allisonville Nursery's available corsages and our senior portrait info. Throughout the week, I went to various S&K locations to photograph the participants in front of the limo and at their school, it was a blast and the guys all had so much fun!!

John & I have been working on the website and promotional materials for the Summer Bridal Show for the past month or two and we are so excited to announce that the next bridal show at Allisonville Nursery will be held Sunday, June 24th from 3-7 p.m. After the successful Holiday Bridal Show in December, all of the vendors were asking when the next one would be held there so Chuck, Tanya and I have been meeting diligently for the past 3 months planning the garden-themed show for this June. Check out the website for more info! Brides can RSVP online (admission is FREE!) and wedding professionals can download the paperwork to reserve their booth space on the "vendors" page. CLICK HERE!
