Krystle and Ryan: Save The Date

A few days ago Krystle met me at the Gallery to work on her and Ryan's Save The Date cards. Below is the final product. Krystle loved the shoe picture so we just had to fit it in! I have to admit, I think we captured their style and personalities. It fits them to a "T." :) 

Their Save The Dates will be printed on 5X7 glossy double-sided postcards.

Rock It.

For the past couple of months I have found myself stomping around my office and pouting to myself (yes, I pout to myself sometimes) about why I just don't have the luxury of hiring a professional design company to snazz up my company's image. I want to be branded.To the oh-so incredibly fabulous graphic designer: BRAND ME!   I've come to realize that my pouting and the batting of my eyelashes is not going to get me anywhere. And trust me, I've tried these techniques with my husband plenty of times. I'll bat my eyelashes and even when I'm desperate, resort to my "baby" voice to get my way. However, in the realm of business I don't think pulling the "cute baby pout" thing works as effectively. Therefore, I took it upon myself to brand myself. I mean who better to brand my company then me right? Oh yes, branding is becoming one of my many forte's everyone. 

Little by little I'll be snazzin' everything up. Including my videos. I know, how can I NOT have my videos up still? I'm working on it! Hope you like the new and improved look!  ROCK MY BLOG by checking what I'm up to.

Ryan and Krystle

This past Saturday I had the opportunity of shooting Krystle and Ryan's engagement photos. When we first arrived at the park I was a bit nervous. I mean come on! I just stated in a previous blog that I am not a photographer. I'm a videographer! However, it seems that lately I've been getting the opportunity to grab my Canon EOS 5D and have a little fun. SO! With "fun" on the edge of my brain we headed out to capture some pictures. Upon arrival to our destination I hopped out of the car and headed towards the docks. While walking towards the lake a sudden realization and fear crept inside of me. Where's the sun? OH NO! How am I suppose to pull off that "fancy lens flare" thing that all the photographers are doing these days without the sun!? PANIC ALERT! And why is the lake water looking mucky brown instead of blue? This is not good. Hello Brit! Without the sun everything looks more .... well, BLAH. Ok, ok. I shook the panic and pretended to act like I was a pro. What's that motto again?... "Fake it till you make it?" Yes. That was exactly the motto I was clinging to. As the session progressed we all relaxed and had some fun roaming the park snapping shots. Krystle and Ryan were such good sports and I think we accomplished our goal. "All we need is 3 good pictures!"

Below are a few photos from our session. Hope you enjoy. Like I always say, leave me a comment and let me know what you think! It makes my day... serisouly :)
