Opie’s First 1st Thanksgiving

He loved it so much he couldn’t get enough! It seems now he’s banned anything but blended table food. And don’t ya just love his little bib! Opie’s Great Gran found it at Williams Sonoma.

A Typical Opie Expression. Man - he cracks us up!

My Guys…

I’ll give you 3 guesses to figure out where Opie gets all those faces.

Gotta love his Old Man Sweater! He HAD the cutest converse high tops on… but I’m sad to say… they didn’t last.

Now… we’re off to Opie’s Second 1st Thanksgiving… More images to come.

Holiday Schedule + Updates

The season is upon us. I’m so excited! I love the holidays!! Just wanted to update my schedule and hours of operation for the holiday season…. cause I have a family and need to take time off just like everyone else. Plus it’s good to give my right brain a break every now and then… it’s a good thing in the over all scheme… for you… the clients. Trust me. Please update your calendars and keep in mind - we might not have access to email or phone messages and we will be truly taking a holiday. We will be returning all phone calls and emails during business hours.

We will be closed:

  • November 26th-30th
  • December 20th-26th
  • December 31st-January 2nd 
We are working hard to finish all 2008 projects and am already booked through February 2009 for design work. We are accepting portrait commissions for 2009 as well, but will only be booking 1 session per month. January is already booked. We are also accepting wedding commissions for 2009 as well and will only be booking 1 wedding per quarter. We we also be unfolding a new price structure for portraits in 2009… one that our clients are really gonna love.
 
NEW COMMUNICATION DAYS
Our new communication days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. You can call us on the other days but we might be too busy working so leave us a message and we’ll call you back. If you call on a holiday - we’re probably out stuffing our faces with good food… so you should go stuff yours too! Ha! 

WE vs ME
Notice the use of  a new pronoun. More on that coming soon. Yeah - I am dangling a carrot! Ha! Be patient and wait until next week. Hehe.

NOW - YOU
Go get ready for turkey day! Eat. Shop. Be Merry.

 

Rising from the Earth

Introducing… Loktah… Natural Media Package for photographers and videographers.

Another product of my Brand New Love Package… name, tagline, logo, and of course more collateral coming soon. I am honored to be the designer working to brand this fantastic, new, natural line of DVD / CD cases! And after today… proud to be working for such an honorable client… always patient and kind. Thank you Josh!

The new Loktah website will be debuting soon… very, very soon. New case style will be introducing seasonally, but they are accepting custom orders.

Technical Difficulties

UPDATE 3: We’re back up and running and trying to make up for lost time.

————————————————–

UPDATE 2: It looks like a construction crew cut the fiber optic cables down the street. My whole neighborhood is without phone and internet. Ugh. They tell me service will be back in 2-24 hours. I am working but cannot send files. Thanks for your patience.

————————————————–

UPDATE: 3G is working now so at least I can get email. You might not get a long email but you will hear from me. :)

————————————————–

so … this is actually Ashley’s friend Eva Talley posting for her because she can’t :(

no phone … no internet … no 3g network available on iphone so Ashley is completely disconnected today. at&t coming out between 1 and 5 but who knows when it will all be up and running. If you have tried to call, you have realized that you cannot leave a message so shoot her an email and when all the issues have been resolved she will call/email back.

Ashley says thanks for your patience and so sorry for the inconvenience.

Falling… in Love

The leaves are falling. The air is crisp. The colors are beautiful. I love the fall.

Playing in the leaves is always fun and games.

Until it turns into some serious business.

I love my men!

No Opie’s were harmed in the making of this blog post. ;)

Stella: Branded

A true product of my Brand New Love Package… Two ladies came to me back in August to help them create a new brand fit for two. New partners and “star” photographers, Jessi and Kristen came to me for help. They needed not only a new logo, but a new name… a new identity… a new brand. They had tossed around the idea of naming their new business “Red Star Photography” but no such domain name was available… an important thing to check on in this wide web world. We tossed around several ideas and settled on Stella, which in Italian means star… completely fitting, right?! This is just the first phase in many projects to come for this lovely new brand… I see great things on the horizon for these two ladies.

Baby’s got a new pair a shoes

Opie’s first shoes arrived today and I couldn’t resist a photo op. I’m in love with his cute little Pedipeds. SO CUTE!!

Into the Sunset

Another amazing wedding (with Tiffiney)… and another pair of very sore legs. I mean WHOA sore legs. I must be getting old. A beautiful three story house that also came with a beautiful three story yard… mix in great weather, fantastic fall colors, a gorgeous sunset, one beautiful couple and a really hilarious southern wedding party… well let’s just say it was an interesting evening… one where even I was forced to boogie around the dance floor. Ha!

Lady luck must be on their side… there were ladies bugs everywhere!

This is gross and sweet at the same time. The groom built his bride a bed for a wedding gift and he cut his poor little finger right as he finished it.

This was one interesting bunch… I gotta tell ya!

No true Southern wedding is complete without at least one person wearing cowboy boots and a DJ that plays Sweet Home Alabama (even if your not in or from Alabama). Haha!

Light and Birdseed. If you can believe it… completely captured on accident. I love me some happy accidents!

Just one more wedding left for the year!! And it’s gonna be a GORGEOUS one!!!

Happy Halloween!
