Who in the world thought THIS was a good pose??

It took me about a full minute to realize the photographer asked the bride to face the wall, then turn ALL THE WAY around and face the camera. All I can say is... dang!

Purchase of Wedding Digital Negatives

After much thought, I am so excited to announce a change in the client purchase of wedding digital negatives. In order to remain competitive, the digital negatives will be available to purchase from any wedding package and the print credit included with each package can be used towards the cost of the digital negatives. There will also no longer be a six month waiting period to purchase the digital negatives. The cost will remain the same, which is $400 for the set of digital negatives. 

This also applies to any past client who has yet to buy the files from their wedding. Please remember that the print credit does have a one year expiration from the wedding date. As always, digital negatives from any other portrait session are not available to purchase.

Thank you!

How to Clear Your Cache

I got this great tip on how to clear my cache. I have heard of the term before but never knew the "how to" steps. I hope this helps anyone who didn't know how to do this!

How Do I Keep My Cache Clear?

Keeping your browser cache clear is very important when viewing your site so that you are always seeing the most recent edits. Odds are that if you are not seeing recent edits your browser is caching or storing temporary internet files to conserve download time. Here are some hints on how to keep your cache clear in Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Safari (MAC): Simply click on the safari button at the top of your screen and click on "Empty Cache" - there is unfortunately no setting in Safari that will do this for you automatically.

Internet Explorer (PC) : Open up explorer, click on the "tools" button at the top of your screen then click on "internet options". In the second row down on the general tab you will first delete cookies and delete files - this will get rid of any previously stored pages. You will then click on Settings on that same row of buttons and you will select "every visit to the page" and click OK . This will ensure that all the edits you make on the site are instantly visible.
Firefox: Open the browser, click on Firefox -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network. Set Cache to use 0 MB of space.

Pictured below is my cutie, Evan! He just turned 3 this month and I couldn't be prouder. The photo was taken on my cell phone.

Steve & Sarah

Steve and Sarah married on July 19^th, 2008 at the beautiful Talon Winery and Vineyards in Lexington.  The wedding took place outside with the vineyard in the background. It was a beautiful ceremony with the sunset casting a beautiful amber glow on the happy bride and groom. As you can see Steve and Sarah are both ridiculously gorgeous people with the best personalities to match! The barn had a set of 4 glass doors that let the BEST light in so we took most the formals there. I love taking advantage as much natural light as possible plus we escaped most of the July heat! Congratulations, Steve & Sarah!

This would be where the best man broke the news to the groom that he forgot the ring! Oops!
