Michele takes the stage….

Friday, May 28th, 2010

My little sister graduated high school. Makes me feel old and now the parents are left with an empty nest. What to do now? Guess that will leave them more time to come visit the oldest in the great state of Texas. I love you baby sister and wish you all the success in the world.

The snow dogs

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

We have snow babies and they had fun playing in the snow so of course I went out and took pictures. Aren’t they pretty? Skyler (all white) 3 years old and Kiara (black and white) 6 years old. They aren’t as innocent as they look!

New Studio- Open House

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

We moved our studio to Plano, TX. We had an open house with tons of sweets, we had our photobooth (which we now will offer for rent for weddings and events) and made a scrapbook of the photobooth pictures for the memories.  Our sweets included a candy buffet, popcorn that was red and black, and an awesome cake that looked just like our camera. We had Jones Soda with our pictures on the label. We had about 50 amazing people stop by to check out the new space. We can not thank everyone enough for all of your support. Here are some pictures for those that could not make it (and yes I really am holding the camera cake that was later shoved in my face for some good photo booth action shots).

Last post for 2009

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Today is the last day the studio is open for 2009. I want to say THANK YOU to all my amazing clients. With out you I wouldn’t be able to capture such wonderful memories and doing something I truly love. Reflecting back on 2009 it was such an amazing journey. We moved into our first studio instead of working from home. We had around 50 weddings this year (AMAZING). We attended photography conferences and met some amazing photographers.  Most importantly we met some great friends and people we will always hold close to our hearts. Without these people we wouldn’t have been able to grow the way that we did.

Looking forward into 2010 we are getting a new studio that is retail and a much better location. Plano here we come a knockin and a rockin. We are attending more photography conferences. We will meet more great people and make more amazing friends.

Till next year…..

Our ROCKIN Albums

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Alright so here are pictures of our albums. Our ROCKIN albums at that. With the internet and all sometimes I don’t ever get to meet with clients so I wanted to be able for them to see the albums. If you can make an appointment and see them in person I suggest that. For those who can’t, well here you go:

This is our Guest sign in book. It is so much fun because you can have your guests sign more than their name such as Words of Advice. The pages are thinner than our flush mount. What better way to display your engagement pictures for your guests and having a great guest book.

This is a sample of one of our fabric albums. Pearl Weave. This is a 8×8 album 20 sides. Great example of the awesome binding and the thick pages.

IMG_0003 copy IMG_0001 copy

This is an example of our cool leather. There is multiple colors but isn’t the yellow fun? Also a wood cameo on the front cover with an inset picture. This will show a bit of our awesome design work with cool patterns and neat backgrounds.

IMG_0061 copy IMG_0063 copy

This is another fabric cover. Brushed Metallic with a metal cameo. 10×10 with 20 sides. Again showing our awesome artistic flair that makes these albums really stand out.

IMG_0050 copyIMG_0056 copy

This is a photo wrap cover. The photo wraps the whole way around the album with writing on the spine. These pictures show both the front and back of the album. This album is a monster 12×12 with 40 sides.

IMG_0070 copyIMG_0018 copy

This album cover is piano wood. Isn’t that cool? You know the black grand pianos, that is what the  cover is made of. Cool huh? It is bound with brown leather and is a 10×10 20 sides. You can see an image across the whole page making the photo really pop.

IMG_0039 copy IMG_0048 copy

This is an acrylic cover on a 12×12 with 30 sides, bound with black leather.  You can see more of our photos/design work showing our attention to detail.
