Fancy goodness & charity #2!

February 28, 2010 – 11:04 pm

Hi everyone! Happy March 1st! I know its been tooooo long since our last blog post but the hiatus us over and I have tons to catch up on. Between trying to settle in from our big move and attempting to wrangle our 10 month old while working with our new intern and doing some fabulous new projects…Im spent! :) We have a LOT of awesome stuff coming up and we cant wait to share everything with you guys as it happens. We have a new site in the works that will be ready by the end of the month. We will be shooting our 2nd wedding of the year in Portland, Oregon in 2 weeks, and we will be releasing our new PartyBooth option for all of our wedding clients…so much fun I tell ya! :) Anywho…now onto this post… FIRST things first! I have a mid week wedding, engagement session, bridal session, and family pics all to post so…I’ll be back soon. :)

Our 2nd charity winner is Meals From the Heartland!

We are sent in our $100 donation and now all thats left is for YOU to donate too. One of our former brides, Kelly O’Connor is actually matching our donation this month and we hope some of you will too. Here is where to go to get your donating on… :) www.mealsfromtheheartland.org/

And now for an awesome new line of fancy goodness. :) Our friends Becky & Laura at Gardenia Floral Design have been busy like crazy working on a new endeavor that is going to blow your mind. These ladies are amazing at everything Im telling you. They are awesome business women, amazing florist, and super fun girls to be around so we jumped on the opportunity to be a part of their new project. They have started a new company (we’ll post their new site as soon as its LIVE!) that sells custom, hand made, beaded head pieces. These pieces are stunning and are perfect for our brides AND for their attendants and MOB’s. Seriously, they are incredible and super unique. Becky & Laura contacted me about a shoot they were working on with Andrea Love Minter at MINT Salon and with Deborah Yates at Deborah Yates Makeup Art to create the perfect hair and make up to show case their new line of pieces. Here are just a few of the bazillion images we got. These models were beautiful and everything went off without a hitch. Becky & Laura, get ready to be slammed because these suckers are going to fly off the shelves!

The image above is of Deborah Yates…shes a hottie huh? :) Here she is doing what she does best… :)

I hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL week! Its been a good week on our end and today marks the start of week 37 of this crazy pregnancy so… we’re in the home stretch folks!!!! In the next week we have a couples shoot AND a wedding and then its off to the land of mommy and daddy-hood for Anthony and I for a few weeks before we get back into the swing of things in May. I still have several things to blog in the next week so…keep popping in on us and we’re going to keep this blog updated as much as possible until our little guy gets here…then I fear I will be THAT girl who puts her kid’s pictures everywhere on her blog! Okay..just realized that the lady with the kid is going to be me…in order to avoid a panic attack..I’ll move on. :) 

Everyone, THIS is Traci! I love love love this woman! She and I have worked together over the last year a ton of times during countless shoots for an awesome magazine we work with often and if you ever need a buddy to have a martini with…she’s your gal! When she called me to set up a session I knew we were going to be in for a fun afternoon because Traci is…YES…she is THAT cool. :)  Thanks for hanging out with me last weekend Traci and hopefully we can get your mama to change the picture on her mantle now! hehehehe Here are some of our favorites from our session…

HBC Mag Shoot

February 2, 2009 – 8:09 pm

This week we did a shoot for a really cool monthly magazine called Home Business Connection. When they called they said they were spotlighting a local gal named Stephanie who has an incredible home based business in the travel industry and I can tell you, hands down, this lady has her head on straight! She’s being featured not only in an editorial for the magazine, BUT…she’ll be on the cover! 

When I asked her what she does in her spare time, she gave me the most awesome answer and I know that mine would have totally been the same if I were her! She said that when it came to extra time and extra money for her and her family, they didnt invest it in giant homes or big ole fancy cars, but that she invests it in her family…by traveling! She said that last year they were able to travel 15 weeks out of the year because of the success of her business and to me thats WAY better than any crummy car or Christmas bonus you’d get at a regular job! They go all over as a family and once I convince her to adopt me and Anthony, I’ll post images from all of the fabulous trips we take!!! 

The magazine doesnt come out until March so I cant reveal too much, but I thought I would post an image of this really fun family!

 

OH! And I had to show you a little peak at this cutie patootie…shes Stephanie’s youngest and boy is she a doll!!

Congrats Steph and think about us while your traveling the world, or better yet…take us with you!!!!!
