this has been a Big product week for us!  we got in two Gorgeous wedding albums, one amazing engagement book, and our new 2011 marketing stuff started arriving!!  even though its not all in yet, we are so excited to show off all the new little things we have now….

we will start with our business card!  picking images for all our new marketing stuff was HARD!!  anyone who knows me is fully aware that i do Not like picking things…  lots of things played into whos shots we used, including composition, crop, colors of the image, but most importantly we wanted the shot to show how richie and i photograph.  our style.  what we love to do….  i love the interaction between two people in love!  and so i tried to pick images that show that.   it was SO hard to pick!  we went with amanda and josh on the front because i just love that image.  its simple.  theres no crazy background.  its not overly fancy.  its just amanda and josh and their love for each other…. and Everytime i look at that shot i smile.  i think about that day with them in durham and i remember the homeless guy following us around and i remember how warm it was that day and the way richie and i picked and played with each other during the shoot.  and for whatever reason, that shot makes me happy.  so i picked it for the front.  i want to also give a shout out to the other couples who are on our card…. jessica and kyle, kassie and trent, kassies flowers haha (well i loved the colors and i needed a detail shot on here), elizabeth and john, and then callie, not once but twice cause i love the green in her close up, and i love the brick and her stance in the bridal shot.   by the way, gotprint is the company who printed our cards and we LOVE them!!!  i’ve used gotprint for three years now and i have not one time been disappointed in them!

next up is our new preprinted envelopes!!  i know, i know… they are just envelopes… but i am THRILLED to get them!  no more printing them myself!  yeah… its the simple pleasures in life….  : )   oh, and these were printed at vistaprint and i am Very happy with them!  we will def be ordering more when we run out of these!!

here’s another little thingy we like to do….  for our couples who do engagement sessions with us, we have cards printed with one of their shots and we put them out at the wedding reception.  the cards have all the info their guests need to be able to look at their wedding pics after the wedding.  if the couple is going to have a new address, we put that on there too.  just a quick, easy way to get all the info to all their wedding guests!  these are charlotte and marks, who are getting married in ten days, and sara and joel who are getting married in april!

now… album time……  we got in jess and kyle’s album and tyra and keith’s album this week!  looooove them!!!!  jess and kyle’s is a black 10″x10″ 34 page album, and tyra and keith’s is an expresso 12″x12″ forty page album!   both have the silver engraving on the front and square corner pages.

here is where i can brag about my amazing husband…..  he sewed these album covers yesterday all by himself!  i looove loooove looooove them!  what a great touch to a beautiful album!!!   he is right handy with some fabric and thread and a sewing machine!  <3

this is jess and kyles album….   my sweet jess and kyle…..  i can’t even imagine our life without them!  we clicked from day one (no pun intended) and we have become such great friends!  funny how life throws such wonderful people into our lives….  : )

and now for tyra and keith’s album……  tyra and keith had a GREAT wedding and a huge, but soooo much fun, wedding party!!   i so miss them and their fabulous family!!  they were a total pleasure to work with!!  : )

finally, we got in chelsey and wesley’s engagement book!  absolutely Love this super awesome couple!!  they are getting married at the end of april at berry hill!  i’ll never forget chelsey’s first email to me… “oh how i love your mad skills…”  i knew then.  this was going to be a girl i would love.  and i do.  <3

and whats a post without a shot of US?!  i love this man… and i am soooo lucky to be able to do what i love to do with my very best friend and the love of my life!  i love you richie staggs!!!!  xxox
