Engagements…

I had the chance to shoot some pretty awesome engagement sessions this fall— here are some pics from 2—

I’ve said it before, but I just love shooting engagements— it gives us a chance to get to know each other, for the couples to see my style of shooting and it makes the wedding day go that much smoother.  When the big day comes, it’s like seeing an old friend!

First Corey and Danny:

We met up first at Cranbrook– after a brief scuffle with security, we were able to have some fun with the beautiful setting… Aren’t these guys gorgeous?

We then headed to Royal Oak— where they met!  I loved her shoes!

These guys were so much fun to work with, too— Jodi is getting into photography and I was happy to gab about that forever!  I can’t wait till their summer wedding!!

Weddings to blog next week! :)   Have a good one!

Where have I been?

Happy New Year!  I hope this post finds you all happy, rested and geared up for a fantastic year!  I’m embarrassed I haven’t blogged since November…. it’s completely unacceptable!  I made a resolution to blog weekly at the least!  I had such a fantastic fall— wrapped up a wonderful wedding season, had a stellar senior season and took some great fall family photos!  This post is the first of many– I couldn’t decide what to blog first— so I chose seniors! 

I rely heavily on referrals— it’s how I book weddings, family and kid sessions and seniors.  So I attempted my first shot of marketing.  I chose to focus on seniors to see what could happen.  I sent postcards, made some flyers and most importantly, created a senior rep program.  I choose about 8 seniors to do free photos of, made rep cards and offered some fabulous rewards for referrals! (Can you say iphones and computers??)  I am pleased to report I TRIPLED my business from last year!  I had so much fun— I met some fantastic kids from all over– Novi, Mercy, Dexter, Tecumseh, Ypsi, Greenhills, South Lyon, Northville to name a few! (Even Iowa!) I’m so excited for the class of 2011!  I learned a ton, what works, what doesn’t and most importantly what I can improve for next year!  I’d like you to meet some of my fantastic kids from this year!  And if you haven’t had your 2010 photos taken yet, it’s not too late!  Check out these fantastic kids—

So that’s why you didn’t see too much of me from August to October!

So what do you want to see next?  Weddings?  Engagements?  Kids and babies?  Leave me a comment and I’ll get those blogged next!  Have a great day!

My sweet kids…

Just a quick note to stop in and say hi— senior season is wrapping up, wedding season is wrapping up and Holiday card season is in full steam!  I’m so sorry for the lack of blogging, but I’ll do some massive posts here pretty soon- I have some awesome images to share!  I’m headed to North Carolina tomorrow to take some pics of some sweet twin babies- can’t wait!! In the mean time, I actually found time to take my own kids pics!  Here is just a quick sneak of them, but I can’t wait to go through the rest!  Have a great week!  More soon! (I always say that… sheesh…:) )
