Wednesday, October 31st, 2007
H is for Happy Halloween
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007I’ve been out of town- up in the mountains, actually. Sorry for the lack of posts, but I promise I’ve got plenty to share! Just playing catch up. More to come later today- and our Thursday givaway is still on. I will be posting the prize “up for grabs” a little later today. But for now . . .
And the WINNER is . . .
Thursday, October 25th, 2007
First of all, let me just say that I truly appreciate all of the thoughtful comments you have left in the past couple of days! It inspires me to keep the creative juices flowing and to continue with what I’m doing. As a photographer & designer, I love what I do. One of the biggest complements for me is when someone sees a design or a photo and recognizes it as my work. Thanks everone!
Next Thursday we’ll have some more fun with another givaway. Stay tuned for more details!!
Any of these templates are also available for purchase on my website in the template studio. I also added a tutorial this morning. Little by little, we’re putting it all together for you.
Thursday Givaway: 2007 Card Templates
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007As promised, we’re having a special drawing this Thursday!
Enter to win a collection of our 2007 holiday card templates!!
Designed as fully-layered .psd files for use by pro-photographers (and hobbyists for that matter!). The winner’s name will be randomly drawn at noon on Thursday the 25th, so leave a comment here to enter. You will have your choice of one of 5 collections (each collection includes 5 card designs!) These templates will work for photoshop users, and photoshop elements users- using clipping masks. Don’t worry, pretty simple.
IF you are not a photoshop afficionada, an alternate prize would be for me to create your personal card design with you sending me your photo and text and I would send you a flat .jpg file of your design and you could print it.
Here’s a sneak peak of the offerings:

What Season Is This?
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007For those of you who live in Utah, you know that we cycle through seasons quickly. For instance, one day is summer, the next winter, and the next autumn (in that order). Here’s are first dose of winter . . . and the kids could hardly contain themselves. It was all gone by the afternoon and we still have some green leaves on trees. Utah.
{mush! mush!}
One For the Money . . .
Friday, October 19th, 2007. . . two for the show, three to get ready and four TO GO!
I can’t help thinking of that when I see this photo!

3 Tutu Beauties and 1 Big Brother
Wednesday, October 17th, 2007It is cold and rainy outside right now. I love that photography can happen anywhere, including in the comfort of home when the weather is too too cold–too wet–too windy–too dark. I am an on-location photographer which means I shoot at outdoor locations or I go to the homes of my clients. I love to find great places (often overlooked) to shoot within the home. I also love the simplicity of a pure white backdrop for fun, candid-type shots. It just makes the colors pop and eliminates the idea of a backdrop all together.
Here are some bright and cheery shots to bring a smile to your face!
{I love her curled toes and sweet gaze}
{Here’s a shot of lomo with a warm bkw overlay. Going for strong hues and contrast–perfect for a tutu shot!}
We’ll Never Run Out
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007I jotted down this quote from my DD on a Hollywood Video receipt a few days ago while waiting at a stoplight. My DD has such an amazing perspective on life. She is my strong-willed, stubborn girl who can be the most loving, sweet thing minutes after throwing a tantrum. I wish I could switch my emotions that quickly! I scrapbooked this today while she was in her room on “time-out.”
All brushes, backgrounds and photo frame by me– the background was a rusty door bolted and welded shut. It had the word “LOVE” carved right into it. I couldn’t think of a better background to illustrate S’s tough, unmovable stubborn side- with pink frills and love on top. 😉
So far there are quite a few entries for the THURSDAY drawing. I am thinking next week I will hold another givaway with something else. This is fun!! I love finding out which photos appeal to people and why! Thanks for the comments!
