Well ladies and gentlemen my new website is officially up and running. Please note the new way to view proofs. Not everyone will have their proofs up on the new site as some are about to expire. You may still use the original proofing site to view them 🙂

I have been looking to update my website for quite some time, I have been looking into blu domain and have heard nothing but horrible things about their customer service and servers going down and everything else. Well I currently have flash palette I love how easy they are to use, and the fact that there is NO trouble uploading it to my server, so I decided to give another look to their newer designs, because I wanted something that would include a shopping cart. I really love their new designs and I decided on going with FP again, I am SOOO happy I did. They seriously have some of THE BEST customer service I have ever experienced. When I first ordered an FP site there was a small problem with my license I received, so I emailed them late at night and they emailed me back first thing in the morning, and everything was fixed. Sure that was nice but I didn’t think much of it, well today they have completely proven themselves in my book. I had a couple questions and emailed them to find out, within ONE HOUR I had a response, again I emailed them and in less than 30 minutes again another response. I was completely happy with the response I got back, but they took it to that next level and completely outdid themselves they once again emailed me with an even better solution. I had already changed things and assumed it would be too late for this new solution and I emailed them back saying wow thanks, I already did as planned so I don’t know if it is too late. Within 2 minutes I had a response back and they said nope and completely took care of me! I am so beyond impressed with them and would highly encourage all my other photog friends to seriously consider going with flash palette when you are purchasing your next web design. Their sites are so amazing and fully customizable. When I talked to them today they said they are coming out with a ton of new things. I can’t wait to see what else they have in store for us 🙂 maybe a calendar feature??? *hint hint* In all honesty the only reason I even considered blu was for the calendar feature, but when it comes down to it I prefer the many other wonderful options FP has and the awesome customer service! They’ve got a lifelong client here 😉

Well ladies and gentlemen, it is that time again. My pricing will be having a complete overhaul shortly. I am changing my packages around to better benefit you! Soo be on the look out within the next week of my website and pricing having some major changes. Also be on the look out for a fun and exciting new announcement!

I had an amazing and fun TTD session with Shannon! We headed over to the University to get some amazing shots. If I thought this bride was fun even before her wedding with all the stress and everything, you can only imagine how much fun we had after her wedding when she wasn’t under a ton of stress!!! It was a blast!!

WOw I can’t believe that the holiday season is fast approaching! I am looking forward to this Christmas so much this year! Rory will almost be 3 and this may just be the first christmas she will remember! I can’t wait to see how excited she gets. They are already putting up Christmas stuff at Target and she got super excited over some penguins that light up! SOOOO CUTE!!! Logan doesn’t talk like Rory but his eyes get really HUGE when he sees those lights! I can’t wait to drive down the streets and see all the houses lit up 🙂

Well with the holiday season fast approaching this also means that my available times for weddings and other sessions are filling up fast! If you are getting married this November/December than now is the time to book your wedding! I only have a handful of days available so make sure to get in contact soon to ensure that your wedding date is available 🙂

Also a quick reminder for those who want to get Christmas cards done. It is best to do your holiday session between late September and early November, this is so we can make sure your pictures are edited and your cards are ready to be in the mail by early December. Due to the business of Holiday weddings, I am only accepting a limited number of Holiday Sessions. So if you are interested in having one done, the sooner you book your date the better!

I just signed up for [b] school private school. I am totally excited! I’ve already made contacts with a few photographers and can’t wait to get to know them all! Soo excited! I hope to see some other locals come on board shortly!

This is a question I’ve gotten a lot from people. It is hard for me to explain how much nicer an edited image looks versus a non edited image. I made a post a while back about the importance of editing, but it is so far in the archives I figured I’d just post one again 🙂

Editing consists of many things. Editing is basically the work that happens after taking the picture, you know the behind the scenes stuff. Unedited pictures are fine, but editing just adds to the beauty of an image. Editing consists of cropping and adjusting the contrast, lighting, converting to black and white, doing selective coloring, taking out any blemishes as well as changing the tone of an image, and the occasional fixing of an unsightly bulge (even the skinniest people can turn funny and get something that looks a bit off, well I’ll fix that when I can). While a non edited picture looks perfectly fine, once you see the edited version you can’t believe the difference! (You will never be able to look at the original the same again) :p

When you order a custom album you get all of the images that are placed in the album fully edited. Editing can be very time consuming which is one of the factors as to why the custom albums are more expensive.

Here is just one example of an edited picture versus non edited

I am really excited to announce the arrival of custom albums! These albums come nice and big at 10 inches by 10 inches. Each album will contain FULLY edited images, not only are you getting a beautiful album you are getting the highest quality images possible!

We bought the kids their halloween costumes today. We took them to Ontario Mills today and visited Children’s Place. We showed them the costumes and they both picked out their own. It was really cute. Since Logan is still so young we showed him a penguin or a teddy bear and let him choose between the two. He got all excited and picked the teddy bear. For Rory I showed her a lot of costumes and she wanted to be a flower (remind you of anyone???) HA HA family inside joke sorry. I’m sure I’ll take some in studio pics later but I just wanted to snap a few today 🙂

She looks so sad in this picture 🙁 She was really just watching tv

Don’t Feed the Bears… oops! I guess this one is okay to feed cuz at least he is cute and doesnt have very many teeth 🙂

I ordered Rory a dress from a girl I’ve known for a while now. Her name is Amy and she is awesome at making clothes! Her website is an etsy shop Baby Threads Boutique. Rory loves her little dress she thought it was the prettiest thing ever. I was trying to get a nice full length picture of Rory but she was too busy cuddling with her baby brother on the couch watching tv. Speaking of the baby brother, Logan is such a sweetheart. He has just learned to climb on the couch and when he does he acts like he has just climbed Mount Everest. It is just so dang adorable! He is so cute, he climbs up there and gets this big huge smile like LOOK MOMMY I DID IT!!! Well I was trying to get a picture and how could I pass up this photo opportunity.
