new year's card

My great idea this year was to send out a New Year's card from pure photography.  Wondering why you didn't get one?  Welllll, I got them half made & then slacked off & never finished the other side.  I was feeling productive today, so I finished the second side.  Since it'd be a little late (no comments, please) to send it out now, I thought I'd at least share it with you all here.  So, to all of my wonderful clients of 2008, thank you & have a wonderful 2009!

new year's eve - the slideshow!

So I was going to do a nice long post about our New Year's Eve photobooth & then I got lazy (or ambitious?) and decided to make a slideshow instead.  I'm actually planning on adding a photobooth option to my pricing, so this was a test to see how well it'd work.  I don't know about you, but I think it was a hit.  I'd love to hear some feedback on the photobooth idea!  Click here to open a full screen version.

things to come...

Hello blog world!  I know I've been a delinquent blogger over the holidays, but, then again, you've probably been too busy yourselves to even notice.  I've got a ton of fun posts in the works, such as...

*a boudoir shoot (oh yeah)

*some boudoir info (you'll want to know more after you see the shoot!)

*christmas cards (just thought you'd like to see some I did this year)

*my new year's eve photobooth (so awesome)

*some super cool pure photography news (trust me, this is good stuff)

So, stick around.  Until then, enjoy another photobooth teaser.  This is how excited you should be to read all of the new posts...

happy new year!!!

i love to accessorize

I have a couple of big blog posts in the works, but until they're ready, I thought I'd show you little something that I got in the mail the other day.  I love the camera straps at My Funky Camera!  I already have the colorful black skull & crossbone one (here's the link to the white version) & love it.  Of course being the master accessorizer that I am (spell check is not happy with that word!), I always want to have a bit of variety.  I checked in the other day and saw this super cute leopard one.  I was torn between it and a zebra style, but the leopard won out.  Just try to tell me it's not cool...

ps--if you want a strap & the style you like is sold out, have patience.  She restocks quickly!
