Family Portiats

Don't miss your opportunity on capturing a family fun moment, a new member of the family, or updating your house decor with some current family photos! And we all eventually need that family photo for our Holiday cards.

Some tips on how to get the best family photo:
-coordinating outfits will seems more put together (not necessarily matching)
-try to squish your group together , you do love each other right?
-check for blinking, especially in large groups, before everyone escapes
-let them be free and fun to get some genuine smiles
-create different levels to get more people in the frame, which makes it more interesting for the eyes
-be careful on the lighting, check for clouding. especially on people's faces
-if children are in the group, bring toys or use bubbles to get their attention towards the camera
-if a large group with small children, make sure all the adults are looking at you, you'll get most of kids and if not, its no big deal, their kids.

Save the Dates

I am currently working on my brother and sister-in-law's to be (Devon & Sarah) save the dates their upcoming wedding. We discussed a few ideas as to what they wanted, their theme and what format (picture, magnet, postcard, ect.) After multiple drafts and detailed changes, the couple and I decided on our final product!

The first thing I did after we got the idea was to pick out a picture. We went for a picture that kept the couple towards the background so it would leave space to write on the picture itself. Since the wedding has a vintage theme I found an awesome location with an old, run down volkswagen.

Secondly, I made a 'logo' for Devon and Sarah, one that represents their style, theme and colors. The first draft did not include their last names but after discussion, the reassuring thought of a last names might be helpful for guest.

We found a fun saying that was perfect for Devon and Sarah's personality: Beautiful Bride, Handsome Groom, Booze, Food and Bad Dance Moves. You in or what? Now most friends and family would think it was humorous but for those who might not appreciate it as much, like grandparents, so two save the dates were made. The more conservative saying: Devon and Sarah have set the date, so please take note and don't be late!
