It’s engagement session season! Oh, how I love thee. The weather is still somewhat cool here in Brownwood Texas, people are happy and in love, and I get to follow them around with my camera. What more could a girl like me ask for?
Shelly and Edward wanted a hip, modern downtown engagement session to fit with their modern and stylish wedding at the Brownwood Country Club. And of course they had to include Edwards two beautiful daughters in some of the shots for some great family portraits. Shelly and Edward are getting married in July and I can’t wait for their sure to be fabulous wedding.
I had the pleasure recently of shooting family portraits for the National Guard at their deployment dinner in the Brownwood Colosseum. Here are just a few.
The capstone to my wedding work is the wedding album. While shooting the wedding I am always thinking about what will look great in the album. Ultimately, it is my goal to encompass my clients’ wedding story in a gorgeous, custom wedding album that reflects their personal style. I cannot stress enough the value of a beautiful wedding album. The wedding day comes and goes in a blur as does the wedding cake, flowers, and food. With the exception of your wedding photography, not much evidence remains to showcase your special day.
In the digital era, the importance of a physical album might seem less significant or unnecessary. I couldn’t disagree more! About 80% of my clients choose a wedding album as part of their wedding day coverage. I choose to keep my wedding album designs very clean and simple. I want the photos to bring my clients back to that moment for years and years after their wedding day.
Stephanie and Bradley ordered 3 of my largest albums for their wedding, one for themselves and one for each of their parents. I thought the album was so beautiful I just had to share it. The black and white snakeskin patterned leather with the off center cameo was the perfect choice to represent their modern style!
Ok, here it is finally! This little sweetheart was an absolute angel to photograph. Definitely one of my easiest newborns to date. Baby Zoe did have a little fiest in her though. She is definitely not a fan of lacy clothes lol! She was a tiny little thing and slept for almost all of the shoot. Zoe even gave us some sweet sleepy smiles. I can’t wait to shoot the rest of Zoe’s first year sessions, it’s so fun to watch little ones grow!
Dustin is a Bangs High school Senior and an avid baseball player. Since baseball means the world to Dustin we had to fit a few shots in at a ball field and show off all his patches on his jacket. After the baseball field we headed downtown to get some unique urban scenery and finished up at the lake with an awesome sunset!
For the last few months we have been working on the idea of a spring promotion. We are super excited today to announce that we have just launched a very special deal this morning with Groupon, the very popular group buying site that just launched a site in Abilene. We have taken our boudoir session, which is normally priced at $300 and made it available for just $130. In addition this special offer also includes 1 accordion wallet book with 9 of your favorite fully retouched boudoir photos.
This offer is for 3 days only, it runs today, Monday March 7 – Wednesday March 9. We have also put a cap on the number of sessions sold so make sure to buy the deal as soon as you can to take advantage of the savings. Once purchased, you will have an entire year to schedule your photography session. We are also offering upgrades to our Couples Boudoir session. Many of you have already been in for a boudoir session and this is the perfect opportunity to come back for a second shoot, either on your own or with your partner. For those of you that have been thinking about a session but haven’t book one yet, now would be the perfect time to pull the trigger!
I have donated a free engagement session as a prize in the “Once Upon A Proposal” contest at the upcoming Bridal Indulgence Wedding Show in Brownwood March 27. There are quite a few great prizes that have been donated by other great local vendors too. Visit www.bridalindulgencetx.com/contest to submit your proposal story for a chance to win the prizes. Oh, and don’t for get to stop by and see us at our booth Sunday March 27th 1pm-4pm at Heartland Mall!
We had an awesome time at the Total Bridal Show this past Sunday in Abilene. With a wide variety of vendors, a fashion show, lots of brides to be, and a cake dive to award door prizes it was really one of the better wedding shows I’ve been to. We talked to a lot of brides and they will be hearing from us soon about the winner of our drawing. We will definately be back for the fall show – especially since we won “Best Booth” in the vendor contest!
