This is the video I prepared for the Club Fair at Rowan County Senior High.

Wonderful Wednesday
I am so delighted to report some news updates this morning.
1. Cara Demoss is one of my Rowan County Senior Ambassadors and she contacted me last night to inquire about Homecoming Dance photos. She will be hosting a pre-dance party and I will be setting up for Homecoming Dance photos at Cara's party. Being my first dance pictures I'm terribly excited about getting this experience under my belt! Now, the only problem is is that I've never seen a dance photo that is modern and emulative of my style. So, I've got to put my thinking cap on and come up with some clever ideas and super cool pictures!
2. Josh Bieker contacted me this morning about doing band pictures as he has just opened a locally owned and maintained Recording Studio in Morehead called Stereo Image Studio. All genres of music are welcome at his studio. For more information about Josh's services you can contact him through his Myspace page: Stereo Image Studio
Best of luck with the new business, Josh!
3. OK, I have to post this most awesome compliment I received the other evening while shopping at Wal-Mart. I ran into a girl I went to high school with and she said "I hear you're the best kept secret in Morehead"...Yes, I simply smiled and laughed but on the inside, I was doing cartwheels and screaming at the top of my lungs. I know it sounds crazy, but this is still a very young business, so I'm allowed to get ridiculously excited and hopeful at this stage:) yay! A BIG "thank you" to all my wonderful clients. I do appreciate you guys with all my heart!

Weddings galore & foreigners too!
And suddenly its wedding season again! There is a definite trend towards Fall weddings over Spring weddings (well at least judging by my calendar this year). The next several weekends are filled with wedding bliss for me and I can't wait. I do love me a good wedding. I might be scared to death of having my own, but I love capturing all the emotion of the wedding day. Its a magical time!
I am also happy to announce that my best friend Therese, who I have not seen in exactly 5 years
is in the states with her boyfriend Jonas (whom I've never met) and will be landing here in Morehead next Saturday! I absolutely can't wait! I haven't been this excited in ever. Therese lives in Denmark and we met in high school during her foreign exchange and have been best friends every since. We were lucky to be able to spend the summers together; she would come here or I'd spend the summer with her in Copenhagen. However, after I started a family and Therese continued her education we've just not been able to make a visit happen lately (its VERY expensive to boot).

Anyways, Therese and Jonas are driving cross country and back again and we will have 3 nights here in Morehead and 2 nights in Gatlinburg with them! It is the highlight of my year and I can't wait! Below are a couple pictures of my best friend, Therese and me!

Spotlight: Custom Invitations/Cards
It is an added bonus when your photographer has a background in graphic design. My bachelors degree is Communications with an emphasis in Advertising and Public Relations. It was all those ad design classes that gave me the love of graphic art. After college I continued my passion for graphic design with self development courses, seminars, and endless research. I worked as a freelance graphic artist for several years, before developing my love of photography into a business. So, if you're even still reading this history lesson you're probably wondering what does this have to do with anything??? Well, it is to introduce you to the endless possibilities of what a graphic-designer-turned-photographer can offer YOU. Today's spotlight is on Custom Invitations/Cards.

Harleys are happening.
It seems lately that Harley's have been a recurring theme. I've had three shoots lately with Harleys. It was funny, I obviously know nothing about these monsters, because I told one lady that we could absolutely take pictures with her husband's Harley, but that there was a step into my studio, so we'd just have to lift it over (800 lbs. later) ...hahahaha! Anyhow, here are a couple samples from the Harley's that have been happening lately! ;)
P.S. Be sure to tell all your Harley friends where to get their Summer Harley Shots!

Daddies and Babies
I have a arrangement of framed prints in my studio. The one that always gets the most attention is the photo of Jack Hughes and his then-newborn baby girl, MaKayla. Almost everyone that enters my studio comments on it. There is something magical about seeing a daddy craddle his precious baby. So, I'm devoting today's blog to dad's everywhere! Shed some love on your little one today!
Jack & Baby MaKayla
