pure photography by april cochran-smith

new products - pt. 1

Know what this is?

It's my fancy, new cd/dvd packaging.  Not only is it really pretty, but it's also 100% green.  It's handmade from organic paper & dipped in beeswax as a preservative.  Awesome.  It comes in a couple of different styles & I'm still deciding which one I like best.  

So, are you confused as to why I'm showing you cd packaging?  Well, I've finally come around & decided to offer prints on disc.  I have new wedding packages that include the option to purchase a cd with reprint rights.  If I've photographed your wedding in the past & you'd like to order a cd, just get ahold of me & I can set that up for you.  

Get ready, because I have more pure photography news coming up!  Everybody loves a cliffhanger, right?

Here's what Jack made us for dinner tonight...

I think I've taught him well.

myspace update

Happy Monday everyone!  Have you been a little surprised with how much I've been blogging lately?  Me too :)  Today, I just wanted to let you know that I got rid of my myspace page.  I never, ever went there, so it was just sitting there all neglected and alone in cyberspace.  I still have my facebook page & update & check it regularly, so feel free to hop on there and add me as friend if you haven't done so already.  The link's right over there on the left  <--------  

Of course, there needs to be a picture with this post, so here's one of my new favorite pictures of Jack, edited with some super fun new actions that I just got.  

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!

denise & rob - sneak peek (take 2)

Ok, I just couldn't wait to show you guys this picture.  I think Denise thought I was crazy when I asked her to do this, but hopefully she sees what I was going for now!  I'm in love with this shot....
