One Wedding in the Books...Site is Coming Along


We shot our first wedding last weekend and I was really happy with how everything turned out. We got some great shots and the bride was really psyched. We didn't have a lot of time to shoot prior to the wedding but we managed to squeeze off about 400 photos before the show got started. I wasn't real happy with the reception shots so I'll try and get some inspiration for next time.

I've really got to get out and shoot more and stop stressing about when the next gig will come along. We met up with some new friends last week also w/ Grayphotograph.com. They were really helpful volunteering info and giving us some stuff to think about.

We've also got the site "Up"! Well we bought a domain and threw some pictures. I've thought about just building a simple site myself, but it looks more and more like I might have someone build it for me. I've just sorta' looked at the guys who buit the Chase Jarvis site and they were surprisingly affordable. We hope to get some branding done this week so we can get some business cards printed out.


That's all for now.

Way Too Long


Alright, It's been way too long for me to post. We've been super busy shooting and haven't had a lot of time to post. About a month ago we sent out an email to basically everyone we know. It has seriously paid off. We've got tons of referals from those folks and we are now in a postion to actually charge.

Also, I bought a domain which is currently under construction. I'm just going to throw some stuff up there until I can have someone create a real site for me. I've put some maternity pictures of my sister up just to have something on the site.

I also downloaded the lightroom 2.0 beta and I'm loving it. I feel like I can get the skin tones really nice thanks to the clarity slider. Looks like I'll have to buy it... There goes a little more money.
