The Hop, Skip and a Jump Maternity Frock GROSGRAIN GIVEAWAY!!!!



So, this post is super selfish...I want this dress.



Oh, and by the way, I'm expecting, yes it's true. This, and the fact that I have been super busy getting wedding photos and books done, has been the reason I've been neglecting this poor blog.


I hope to once again have time to be exciting and interesting in the future...:p

Brayana's Senior Photos...

I figured it was time to make another update. I've been so busy editing photos I haven't had the time to post any!

This photo shoot was probably my favorite shoot that we did all year. Not only did we get to photograph a harp (how cool is that?) but we got a fabulous free concert the entire time--Brayana is really good! I think we wound up spending 3 hours hauling the harp around and coming up with creative ideas for the photographs. *Actually, Brayana's mom and my husband Joe hauled the harp around...;)

Enjoy the photos!

Sam & Charlotte's Engagement Photos...

Well, here's my first blog post from Anchorage! Joe and I arrived on Saturday and have almost got all of our stuff put back together in our new home (photos to come soon!). I'll be back in Fairbanks this weekend for a wedding and then back to Fairbanks in 3 more weeks for Chris and Sarah's wedding.

I was having some computer issues with my mammoth computer so I got a nice week long break from editing, but now it's time to get back to work. Here are some photos I finished tonight: Sam and Charlotte's Engagement photos. These were taken near Charlotte's home and it was a great backdrop for fun photos...enjoy!

PS: to edit these photos, I used some presets by Michelle Black -- if you're a photographer, definitely check out her stuff...

Takenya's Maternity Photos

As most of you know, Takenya is my second photographer for my business, Red Shutter Studios. She is due the end of next month and we finally got around to shooting some awesome maternity photos of her at her house and at the UAF Botanical Gardens...we spent...maybe 4 hours shooting? I forget...Also of note is the fact that Takenya made the black strapless shirt and the green leaf shirt she wears in these photographs...

Here are a "few" of my favorites...enjoy!

Moving!

So, as of a few weeks ago, Joe and I decided to move to Anchorage so that Joe can pursue his M.A. in English. Yeah, crazy, I know...That said, we will be moving in about 4-5 weeks so if anyone would like senior portraits or family portraits, let me know now so I can squeeze you in!

As for the future of Red Shutter Studios, I have no intentions of stopping my business and I will be back to Fairbanks each month through January for weddings, so if anyone would like other portraits done during those times, I'll squeeze you in during my visits! Also, if anyone is interested in hiring us for their wedding we will continue to shoot weddings in Fairbanks.

Joe and I also plan on spending our summers back here in Fairbanks, so if you are planning a summer wedding in 2010 or 2011 and would like to hire us, no problem, we'll be here! In the meantime, if anyone is in Anchorage and would like to do a shoot, drop me an email and we'll link up.

So there's the most pertinent information. Check out our calendar regularly at http://redshutterstudios.com/flash/calendar8_01.html to check on our availability and when we will be in Fairbanks.
