Amber & Ryan.... love is good....

So here lately I have been SLAMMED with engagement sessions! Amber & Ryan actually had their session probably over a month ago and I am just now blogging about it! I thought that maybe I would do just my favorites of each of those engagement sessions, but I love writing about my couples.... yes... I said "my couples." Just ask some of my past brides, I really get attached to my couples, especially the bride. I guess with emails and meetings and sessions, and of course, the big day, you really get to know the brides and they allow ME to be a part of these special times. Some of them cry to me, vent to me, laugh with me, and they truly are part of my life.... so yes, I'll say it again... "my couples" :)

Amber & Ryan are going to be one of "my couples." We did a studio and a downtown session and they allowed me to capture some of the most wonderful images... Thank you Amber & Ryan!

Here is my all time absolute favorite "pose" to do.... nothing like a man kissing your shoulder :)

And here lately I have an obsession with fire escapes...

I just loved this one.... she was tippy-toeing to give him a little smooch :) Just look at her FLAWLESS skin.... soooo jealous...

Plenty more engagement sessions to come.... stay tuned!!!

Appointments must be made :)

Elle Photography Updates!

I went and visited the new studio today.... I can't explain how excited I am about it! The drywall is now complete and painting is starting sometime next week. I am truly hoping it will be finished mid-March... keep your fingers crossed for me because I already have sessions scheduled and I just HAVE to shoot in my new space!

And.... along with the new studio.... I will be getting a new website!!! Totally excited about that too!!! There are some features that my current website is lacking and it drives me insane. I do love my site and all it's colors.... but it's time for a facelift. I hope to have that launched within the next two weeks. Keep your fingers crossed on that as well :)

Also, I have had several people inquire about pricing at the new studio. There will be some MINOR changes to the pricing guide. However, if you already have your appointment scheduled with me, you will receive the current pricing. If you schedule an appointment AFTER I have moved into the new studio, the new pricing will be applied. Please remember, this will be a MINOR price change.

I wanted to let everyone see my little Carter's birthday invite. I tried several different options, but I ended up loving this one. We have decided to go along with the monkey theme... so he of course had to have monkey invites!!! Enjoy!!!

Finally!!!

After months of looking and searching, we finally found the perfect building to put the studio in!!!! It is right off of exit 76 in Berea, located right next to Merle Norman and and across the road from a BEAUTIFUL salon. I am so excited about this HUGE step for my business. I get to move everything to an actual building that is designed by ME! My home is going to be just that... my home... and my studio is going to be just that, my studio! It got to be so hard (and cramped) to have the photography setup in the house.

As of yesterday, the building was completely empty with only a couple of studs. Today we went and they had everything framed up! The gallery... the shooting room... the bathroom... the storage room.... everything!!! It was so fantastic to see everyone in there working their hardest and getting this completed for me.

I met with the electrician and the painter today and got everything sorted out. I love my studio colors: lilac and stone gray with a touch of damask patterns throughout! Drywall is set to be put up on Wednesday... we hope to have everything up and ready for an open house mid-March... keep those fingers crossed and stay tuned for the actual Open House Day!!!!
