Saturday Sweetness: Not So Basic Black Album

If you’ve been by the studio and looked at my sample albums, you know I’m a big fan of showing you what’s possible in album design. Pink! Purple! Yellow! Silver! Zebra! I have all of the colors of the rainbow and then some. However, while you have pretty much any option you want, there is someting to be said for timeless, classic choices.

The lovely Leslie and Ryan picked up their album this week and I wanted to show you that the basic black album got an upgrade. It is so pretty. Gorgeous printing and modern binding – sharp, square pages. Yum! It’s completely archival too. It’ll outlast all of us.

Detail of the Week: Anniversary Wine Bottle ‘Guest Books’: Austin Wedding Photographer

I am currently working on David and Elise’s wedding album and I remembered their super cute ‘sign in bottles’.  This wedding was so fun. People from New Orleans just know how to have a good time.

These two had their guests sign bottles that had 1, 5 and 10 years on them. They planned to drink the wine on those anniversaries and then keep the bottles.

I love this. I am coming up on my 10 year anniversary next year (seriously??!!) and I think it would be so fun to have a nice bottle of wine and reminisce about the people at our wedding.

Saturday Sweetness: Vacation via iPhone

We are back from vacation and I am sorting through the photos I took on the ‘big’ camera and on film.

I love my fancy cameras, but something I love having at my fingertips is my iPhone for quick snaps. Here is a small collage of my vacation as seen through the iPhone. All of these were taken with the Hipstamatic and Shake It apps.

Detail Of The Week: Wedding Notebook

I love this one!

Lee and Lindsay’s lovely wedding at Kali Kate Farms in Buda had so many personal touches. On each table, there was a small notebook (in the shades of the wedding colors) and on various pages, Lindsay had stamped questions like “Where did you travel from?” “Tell us a love story” “What’s your favorite wedding memory?”

By the end of the evening, they had books full of joyful notes from friends and family. What a treasure.

Casting Call: Austin Wedding Photographer

That’s right!

It’s the slightly slower summer season and I am looking to do some creative and FUN shoots with ideas that have been rattling around in my brain. I have (almost – don’t want to jinx it) one of the coolest spaces in town lined up for a shoot and I need MODELS!

Currently, I am looking for a couple AND a pretty, lively gal to be a bride for a shoot.  Later on, there will be other opportunities for families/kids.

Here are the details and the requirements and the perks. This shoot will take place sometime in the next 15-60 days.

For the couple shoot - you must be a couple, or at the very least, willing to be really lovey with each other. This part of the shoot is going to be a very styled engagement shoot. You’ll have access to makeup and wardrobe and I have some of the coolest vendors in town working with me. You will look amazing, I promise. You also must be able to model during the week. My time at the location is going to be short and specific. I need you to be flexible. Also, you have to do what I say. This is an editorial-style shoot, which means my ideas win and you have to do them. I promise it won’t be anything weird. You also have to be OK with me submitting these photos for publication.

For the bridal shoot - same dealy. We’ll supply wardrobe and makeup/hair. You just have to do what I say and be available during the week. See above.

Who ‘s Eligible?  Anyone! Past clients, future clients, people that have been married 5 years. I’m looking for a specific ‘look’ is all.

What Do You Get? Well, first of all – a super fun photo shoot! Also, you’ll get a disc of high resolution images or some prints for your hard work.

Interested? Woo-Hoo! Please send me an email with the following:

  1. A  photo of both of you (a snapshot is OK).
  2. Both of your basic sizes (tops, pants, shirt, dress, etc). We’ll need those to pull wardrobe.
  3. Names and contact information.

Thank you so much for helping me create some AMAZING images!!

Kristin + Nik: Austin Engagement Photographer

When you see a certain flower that is in this part of Texas for a very specific time period, you will know how behind I am in blogging.

My slow blogging does not mean I love these two any less though. Kristin and Nik and I had a great time during their engagement session. We battled traffic on South Congress during first Thursday, wind, the threat of rain – pretty much a full plate of drama as far as shoots go.  It didn’t matter how weird the circumstance, though, these two were calm and trusted in me.  They are so lovely together. I think you’ll agree.

I can’t wait for your fall wedding! Thanks to Barbara of Barbara’s Brides for bringing us together. (Aren’t we all dreaming of fall this time of year?)

Reminder: Out of the Office

Just a little reminder to let you know I’m still out of the office.

Calls and emails will be returned in earnest starting July 26th.

Thank you so much for your patience while my family and I spend some much needed time together.

Also, for your viewing pleasure – what’s the best part about hotel rooms when you’re four? Why all the jumping on the bed you could ask for of course!
