Today I spent my time with these happy faces 
And I loved it.
But I sure missed this one 
Because I love her.

Designaglow
I thought it would be fun to share this today since tomorrow is THE big day for these two! Hopefully all of Kelsey and Ryan’s guests will enjoy this interactive guest book at their reception. I’ll for sure have to stalk the sign in table to overhear any comments…good or bad. I want to get a feel for how something like this is received. I wish I had had something like this at my wedding. How fun will it be for them to not only look back at their engagement session, but also to read all the thoughts/advice/fun musing from those they love best!
I tweaked these templates from Designaglow. They even featured this book on the Designaglow blog. It’s always fun to submit images of how you use their products because they send you a $75 shopping spree is they find your submission blog worthy. And if you’re not too design/photoshop savy, this is the place to shop! I typically don’t use templates when designing albums because I have my own little system which is faster and suits me perfectly, but it would’ve taken me too long to think of all these fun questions + the little design elements included in this packet that I couldn’t resist. With this shopping spree, I bought a few issues of the Designaglow “magazine” because I love to read it, but don’t love to pay for it.
Can’t wait for tomorrow! I’m sure I’ll have a peak to share with you this weekend
tia + mike’s album
I’ve decided to simplify my album offerings this year both for my clients and myself. Tia & Mike’s original album style is one I’ve cut, not because I didn’t love it, but because it required me to assemble it and I have ruined SO many albums this year in the process I can’t afford to offer this album anymore ;( Lol. It really is silly I struggle so much when putting them together, but I am a professional photographer, not a professional mounter. So anyway, I’ve always loved their Black Tie session and decided it needed a place amoung my new samples so I thought I’d share the spreads with you. The cover is a wrap around image, so the pattern part of the above spread will be on the back, the text on the spine, etc.
Enjoy
(Side note for photographers…I’m planning on printing this through WHCC as one of their new albums with the watercolor paper…I haven’t seen one in person yet, but am imagining them to be beautiful. At least I’ve got my fingers crossed.)

I thought it would be fun to start a little series for me to keep up a few times a month. I’m going to be picking my top ten images from “a year ago” and re-editing them with textures. A large part of what defines a photographers style is there post-processing. I love the look of textures and would like to incorporate these more reguarly into my work. They’re just so dang time consuming…but for this series a must.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this first enstallment from A Year Ago.
For Photographers: To view the edits vs. SOC shots click HERE. Hopefully the underlying series will be to see how my SOC shots improve as the year goes on. My exposures are continually improving, but a drastic difference I noticed when editing these is the sharpness of my images which I credit to my new equipment. My D80 struggled sometimes, especially when shooting wide open as I did in many of these.
January 30, 2010 - 4:27 pm - I love your work and I'm a silent stalker of yours. I love this post! You are SO inspirational, so thank you! I would love to know what you shoot with now, I have the sharpness problemo myself...
January 30, 2010 - 10:24 am - So THAT'S how you do it. i was wondering how you did that cool texture. My favorite one is of the girl with her hands shaped like a heart on her stomach and her husband sitting below her.

Beauty is a matter of perspective. And I think the joy of life is found in the details. Make it a good day and see this…
…instead of this.
Happy Friday!
January 29, 2010 - 10:00 am - You make us all stop and notice that there is beauty all around. Thanks for your beautiful eyes helping us see better.
January 29, 2010 - 8:05 am - so true, hope you have a good friday too
enter prince charming
It was definitely not warm out the day we shot these, so I was glad to see Ryan would be accompanying his bride-to-be on this session. Not only do grooms make excellent props (this is an inside joke with my husband), but they keep brides warm, happy & smiling all the while. And since they usually get to steal a few kisses, I think as a whole, everyone is happy. These two were no exception. They both have brillant smiles and I so enjoy working with them. This is a big post, but I couldn’t part with these images. We worked too hard and froze too long not to show them off. I can’t wait for this wedding… And it’s almost here. Look for their big day next Saturday.
January 30, 2010 - 2:15 pm - You were born to shoot weddings! I love your work! Way to go!!
January 28, 2010 - 12:30 pm - these are soo amazing! I'm sooooo blown away..excellent work Liz!
January 27, 2010 - 8:08 pm - I think it's illegal to be this pretty. it's not fair. i love the blue and red wall, those are soo cool. and nice shooting place.. i check out books there all the time tee hee
January 27, 2010 - 6:20 pm - What a beautiful bride. That dress flatters he figure very nicely, and it's beautiful. The groom is pretty good-looking, too. ;)
