Identity Crisis!!!

We are undergoing an identity crisis. When we attended the convention in Tampa, one of the photography seminars we attended asked us to describe our photography style in 3 words. Then to look at our logo; does our logo "say" our style words? We didn't think that our old logo portrays our photography style. And, Patty and I came up with our 3 words and another logo, but as you can see it's missing something. Our photography style is modern, simple and fun. But, the word simple can be negative. So, how about Fresh, Modern, Fun? What do you think???

We feel we needed a logo revamp. And, we need the help of professionals!!!

Thankfully, we have a graphic designer friend. Marra from Marra Chinn Freelance Designs is coming to the rescue. She has begun working on our logo today. Patty and I are so excited!
We should be getting some preliminary concepts in the next couple of days so keep checking back and tell us what you think!!!

Erin and Adrian's E-session





Erin and Adrian were so excited about their session! They chose a beautiful location and the day really cooperated. The sky was blue as can be!
At first they were extremely nervous. But as the session progressed, they loosened up!
Can't wait for the wedding day!

Marketing with Wedding Click/Boda Click


We have just recently joined with WeddingClick.com and BodaClickUsa.com. Wedding Click is a website dedicated in helping brides plan there wedding. The site is loaded with ideas, promotions and of course a directory of wedding vendors. Wedding Click requires you to register before accessing certain vendors information. The registration is quick and asks for basic information about your wedding. As you know planning a wedding is overwhelming and there are so many choices to make. WeddingClick.com is set up in a way that the bride can narrow their search criteria by budget and location, making it easier to search for a vendor. To take a look at P.S. Photography's advertisment just click on "photo/video" and of course look for the best looking picture! :) We are very excited to be a part of this website, not to mention optimistic (considering we got our first inquiry within 48 hours.)

Trash the Dress?





Let me ask you a question... Would you "Trash your Dress"? After seeing these images, I guess I should ask "why not"? Instead of having your dress in an air-tight box have fun with it! Our goal for this session was to show what a great concept this is. The idea of getting a bride in her dress after her wedding day sounds unusual; but the results, as you can see, is worthwhile.
Our next adventure will be at the beach. All we need is a bride willing to get wet. Any takers? How do you feel about "trashing your dress"?

Ella's one year portraits






























I had the honor of photographing Ella for the second time. The first portrait session was when she was a newborn, and now she is ONE! I absolutely fell in love with her playful personality and her contagious smile. Not to mention her cheeks, don't you just want to pinch them. Here are three of my favorite pictures from the session.--Patty

Picture this:  No sleep for 5 days, 30 minute breaks in between seminars (if you're lucky) and 700 wedding photographers.  That is the DWF Convention in Tampa.  And, we were there.  We have the under eye circles to prove it!!!
What an experience!  We were blown away. It was so inspiring to learn tips, techniques, innovative lighting and more from some of the world's top wedding photographers!
 

Many people get star struck when they meet celebrities. But being the photog geeks that we are, we were star stuck by Joe Buissink, Jessica Claire, Michelle Turner and Yervant to name a few!  These are some of the most respected, talented photographers in the business! And they were letting us into their world!  Amazing! We are truly inspired!  Our creative juices are flowing so beware!!!
We are especially excited about all the new and innovative products we will begin offering our clients in the near future!  We saw hundreds of album companies with new album features and choices!  So, be sure to keep up with PS Photography in the next coming weeks to get a sneak peek!!!  Aren't you excited??????

But, the last 5 days were not just work!  After all these informative seminars, workshops and discussions, we PARTIED! Where, you may ask?  At the Florida Aquarium.  You must know by now that we can't just party in any old boring place! And, of course, being photographers, camera always on hand. Check out these beautiful creatures!
