So I unexpectedly had the night off because yesterday my manager scheduled me for ACLS *advanced cardiac life support* certification tomorrow. (since I have to get certified soon for the Emergency room YAY!) So thankfully I was home when the UPS man brought me a box with these beauties inside
Brian also included Canon XSI for Dummies and a very helpful DVD on how to use the camera. I am definitely in the beginner beginner category but I am SO excited to practice and learn more about how the camera works so I can start to use it creatively.
I started playing around with different settings while my cats were walking around...and look what I did..
Alex.
I STILL can't believe I actually took that picture...I'm so proud of myself!
That camera will be attached to my face while my family is here next week
Ryan Burke and I met the very first week of college and became the best of friends. I still remember a day midway through our junior year when I met Ryan at our campus coffee shop and he confessed that psychology (his then-major) may not be his future and wondered what he should do. He was thinking about studying English or Art and I encouraged him to follow his heart and pursue photography. I've met few people with raw, self-taught natural talent like Ryan, and if nice pictures of me exist, he's taken them.
Ryan lives in Orange County, California now and has graciously agreed to shoot our engagement and wedding pictures. He sent over these amazing pictures from a recent engagement shoot he did with his friends Dawn and Isaac, who went up in a hot air balloon! How romantic is that? I love their cute little dog and that giant, pretend bike. Super cute.

Title: Canon 1D Mark IV Swim Meet Photo Shoot
This is my first test with the Canon 1D Mark IV. I took photos at a swim meet at Wheaton College in Wheaton Illinois this past weekend. I was really impressed with the Canon 1D Mark 4. The high ISO quality is really amazing and in my opinion this camera is a must for low light sports shooting. It will really make your pictures look great. I took the images at the end of the video at 8000 ISO. I found the new auto focus system to be really responsive and fast.
Here is a link I would suggest Canon 1D Mark IV shooters read. It is about the custom functions on the 1D Mark 4. There is a lot of information and articles about this camera but this one link is a good one. Read the entire article and play with your settings and practice them.

Thanks for watching! Oh yeah, count in the movie how many times I say Canon 1D Mark 4 :). Oh well, nobody is perfect! The timelapse of Adobe Lightroom is supposed to be dark as I wanted my screen to pop a little, used a filter on my lens.

I not-so-secretly have a major crush on the fellas in "Mad Men." How much do you love this bridal party made up of men in gray suits? I'm kind of hoping this is what Sean and his man friends will look like the day I walk down the aisle.
When we were contacted by Lady Luck Casino Events, a casino game rental company, for corporate logos, we knew these would be fun to create. They wanted something fun, modern, and memorable and were very open to a "hip" design which we of course loved. We are THRILLED with how they turned out and we're so glad that they love them as well! The Lady Luck Casino Events website will be up and running soon so be sure to check it out at www.ladyluckcasinoevents.com!
Paola & Matthew chose monogram 3D for their custom aisle runner, table runner, and unity candle for their November 09 wedding. Best wishes Paola & Matthew!

Singapore voted, talent wasted.
This is a suite I started working on in January! Stephanie and Alex knew they wanted me to create their wedding invitations so we started early. We've kept in touch and finally finished up a couple weeks ago. The couple has a damask motif throughout their wedding with green, black and white colors.
With wedding season in full swing it doesn't leave much time for anything else other than work work work... which means I have to give up some fun things like going out of town for the weekend with the hubs to visit his family. Wishing I was with him right now- but at least I'm getting a ton of projects done this weekend... go me :)

Title: Deployment 2010.. missing my hubby!
I miss you Jesse! I love you so much! I can't wait for this deployment to be over! Even though we are thousands of miles apart, just know you are always in my heart and on my mind every second of every day. Come home soon! ♥
Have you heard of The Wedding Lens? If you haven't, it's a really ingenious site where your wedding guests can upload all their digital photos to one album... that way you'll have them all in one place! It's a great way to conveniently collect and store all the fabulous photos your friends and family have taken of your special day. Now you can forego those silly disposable cameras that never produce any decent pictures anyway (my apologies to anyone who used them... but I've never been a fan). I explored The Wedding Lens website and found it to be very user friendly and surprisingly simple to use... go check it out and see for yourself, it's pretty sweet.
