Okay, this is it! I’m introducing… me. This is my promotional video I’ll be sending out to future clients and brides and I have to say…. I love it! I would like to thank my super friends, Eric and Marian Larson for putting this together! They are fantastic wedding videographers and I couldn’t have put this in better hands.
Please check their site: www.weddingbellvideo.com and stellarmediaonline.com
Also, I would like to thank their kids, Meg and Stella. Beautiful subjects! I’ll post a few from our session/video below.
Lastly, i need to thank my sister and marketing guru: Jennifer Nolan (Dandelion Marketing) you rock in so many ways!
Okay, so before I sound like I’m accepting an oscar… here is the link below. It was shot in HD and may take a while to download, so if it doesn’t play smoothly right off the bat, let it download, then rewind and play it in full.
Let me know what you think???

Ugh. this is starting to bum me out. I’ve had to reschedule sessions and stuff and I know we need the rain, but it’s getting a little old. At least it forces me in front of the computer for some major editing. Speaking of which, I’ll be wrapping up the following weddings in the next day or so:
Aug. 2nd - Nicole
Aug. 9th - Heather
Be on the lookout girls!

Here is another fun thing coming for brides in 2009. I’m going to start printing proofs in bound books. I have always given a bride her proofs loose and let her do what she wishes… but, I’m liking this option better for a few reasons.
1- it’s so classy looking!
2- they are easy to carry around!
3- they are easy to store (or keep on your coffee table)

Aren’t they pretty!

sigh* my little man Owen is officially a big kid today. Owen went to his first day of school this morning. He was soooo excited…there were no tears from him. Just me. It’s hard to put into words the feelings I’m having. I’m so happy for him and I know he’ll be fine, but I’m a little sad too. Owen has always been an outgoing free-spirit! I’ve loved watching him grow these past 5 years.
Anyway, here are some pics from this morning.

Okay, so I’m running a full page ad in Weddings Unveiled this next issue and I’m trying to decide on my ad. I’m asking for opinions. Which do you prefer? Tell me why you like it…if at all? Please help me! Deadline is today.

I did some engagement pics at the carnival last night. Keisha and Mike were so fun and easy to shoot. I can tell that we will have a blast at the wedding next year!

More to come from this fantastic wedding! Stay tuned.

I’m so thankful for all my blog followers. Thank you so much for all your support and comments! I love to hear from you!
(this is a test for my sister. will she check my blog? will she see her precious little alex? let’s see. :))

Okay, so I’m about to update/post my 2009 Wedding Pricing. I’m gonna offer packages again…after much diliberation. I want to give you girls what you want. That being said… What do you want? What would you like to have from your wedding photographer? Feel free to comment.

I’ll be posting examples of all the fun stuff included in some of my packages…first up - custom thank you cards. These rock and everybody loves em’.

Excuse the quick snaps…I’m not a product photographer.

Okay, so I’ve been having a little fun lately and taking pictures of …. me. Mostly at weddings, when I can think of something fun. I’m gonna post two from the past couple of weeks. The first is at Heather’s wedding from 8-9-08. The getaway car was so vintage! I loved it.

The second picture is from Nicole’s wedding on 8-2-08. I was shooting with my husband, Marc. Do you see us???
