Update
Hello fans, I just wanted to give you all a quick update on what's been going on. I have been getting into graphic designs I really got inspired when I was creating my own designs for mine and Evans upcoming wedding. I had a lot of fun, and well still have some work to do for our wedding. On some of the wedding boards I go on, some people don't have access to higher end graphic programs or are not able to make them for what ever the reason may be. So I thought that I would offer some of my own idea's at the same time customize it for that bride. Here are a few samples

Bridal Planning & supply guide
Hello and Congrats to all of you happy brides.
I wanted to make a blog about WEDDINGS. We all know that wedding's don't come cheap and if you can save a buck on a few things and apply to something that is a really important must have on your list than why not. As I am in the mist of planning my own wedding I have found some great site's that have helped me in either information, DIY crafts to help make your wedding stand out and make it more you, and well I guess guidance.
When Evan and I first got engaged I was super excited and wanted to start planning asap, but than the question where do I start came up a few times. There was so much more planning involved than I expected. I decided to start up my business, and was crazy busy over the summer with photography that the wedding plans where on the back burner for a bit. So once and a while I would scout out idea's and make lists of must have etc, and getting everything that I want with a budget can be tricky. So here are the site's that I have came across to really get in there, and get my planning done.

Portrait parties are like tupperware parties, and are super fun when you and a bunch of your girlfriends want to have a night in,have a glass of wine or two and get your portraits taken with all of your friends.
Portrait parties are great for any occasion such as:

And well the list can go on.
So here are the details and costs.
$25.00 (each person) for 15-20 min photo session each or $35.00 with the disk

NOW if you want to be the host and you have 5 or more friends that will be attending than the host will have her session done @ $15.00 or $25.00 with the disk as well as receive a free 5x7 of her choice.
