Happy New Year!!!

Hello!!! I know I've been a little m.i.a but I've been pretty busy between sessions and traveling I've been all over the place. So before I continue babbling I hope everyone had a very happy chrismahanukwanzakah! (That was a mouthful! and had a Happy New Year!!!! I'm very happy to report my Christmas was awesome spent with my love, and family and friends, and on a plane later that night heading to New Jersey where I continued the holiday spending time with more family. For those of you up north in the NJ/NY experienced first hand the first blizzard of the season and although some hated I had a blast!!! Then again I spent it mostly indoors and only hung out playing in the snow for a few hours. Then once the blizzard passed and transportation was back on the highway my boyfriend and I headed into the city were we spent the rest of the time with my best friend (who came up as well to see family) and our friends (her sister and sisters boyfriend..Etc.. lol). Even though I should have probably taken more pictures I really just wanted to take a break. Only ended up bringing it out one day out of the 11 days.

I'm actually in a few of them, its been a while since i was in front of the camera lol. 

November Contest

Hi Everyone!

So I've Decided to do something a little interesting. I think I'm going to start doing a monthly contest. A different contest each time. This month is an E-Session Contest! Photography can be expensive and sometimes its not first on your to do list, so this is my way of showing how much I appreciate everyone who takes a second out of their day to look at the pictures I've taken, and for thinking of me when your in need of a photographer for your special events.

New Business Cards

So I know I got them like two weeks ago, and posted it on Facebook but I figured I'd let everyone see them here. For those who know me, know I can be a little indecisive. When it comes down to choosing something I go bananas. I was having a tough time deciding which image I was going to stick to, and the amount I wanted to spend. I mean I was ALL over the place. I blame this on the fact that I Google everything. So I was online for two days looking up reviews on companies that print business cards. My top three choices was Moo.com, Vistaprint.com, and Zazzle.com. I know its sounds silly but I'm a stickler for quality and products being worth the money. I knew with two of these companies I could get quantity but could I get quality? I mean business cards give off a certain impression, so I want to make sure its a good one. When I'm at a gig, or at a session and people ask for my card they already see me and get to know me but when someone I've worked asks me for a few cards to give out to their friends and family, those "friends and family" have never seen me or my work. So I want to make sure they see my cards and say "Wow! I want to check out her site!" So I ended up going for the pricier company, not because they were more money so I figured they were better, but because I've seen their product and knew first hand they were of awesome quality. And to top it off I didn't have to choose 1 design. I got to choose as many as I wanted. How awesome?! So I chose a few pictures from recent sessions to make my decision a little easier.

  Wondering What company I went with? I ended up going with MOO.COM. 
I went with the Mini Moo Cards which are Half the size of the regular Business cards. Some think they get lost easier but I think that their unique size is a great conversation starter. Their card stock quality is awesome. Very Thick and smooth. The colors come out bright and sharp. The picture was taken with my Boyfriends Iphone so it maybe a little tough to tell but I love them. I got the 100cards for 19.99 and shipping for $5.45. I looked online for coupons and found 1. Which gave me a total of $22. I was able to choose up to 100 images, but I chose to go with 5. That means 20 cards received the same image. And with a custom back. There were no add ons. Everything is included in the price. Now I was expecting to wait for EVER since I went with standard shipping but low and behold they surprised me again when I got them in the mail a week earlier than expected! I genuinely love my cards. Money well spent


I recommend MOO.com to anyone and everyone. And they do more than just Business Cards too! Check them out.  .

P.S I know a lot of times companies give clients free things to give good reviews but I assure you this is not one of those times. Even though I kinda wish it was. I mean who doesn't like free things. ;)
