Kind of a sneak peak. More than that though is the feeling I get when looking at this photograph. Seeing how happy Amanda was coming down the isle and how proud her father was. It gives us great pleasure to capture these important moments in a medium people can look back at. These kinds of images are important and take you right back to your wedding day, and us for that matter.
Amanda’s wedding was in Colorado Springs at Garden of the Gods Club, and more is coming soon.
Working for yourself is a blessing and a curse. The blessings are to plentiful to go over in this post. The curse is there is always something else you can be doing to grow your business. Unfortunely you are always going to be capped at what you can do since there are only two of you and 24 hours in a day. The key is knowing when to say enough is enough we did our very best work here. The last few weeks have been super busy with the two destination weddings, one in jamaica and one 5 hours away in Montrose. It’s taking us some time to catch back up. Since I haven’t had time to get a wedding up here is another shot to keep you busy. Love the light in this bridal image.
One of my favorite parts of this business is working with such great clients. Our clients are genuine real people with a story that needs to be told. I have had few jobs over the years. Haven’t we all? From a waitress in college, to managing a portrait studio, and then retail clothing manager. I can say people are not always appreciative and caring. I can’t say that about our clients though. They are thoughtful, caring and a pleasure to work with. We have gained some very nice friends from our adventures, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I was so excited earlier this week when one of our brides from this weekend sent over this luggage tag and a card saying pack your bags. I am off to an adventure in Jamaica this weekend and Andy has a wedding in Montrose/Ouray where the Aspens are changing in all their beautiful glory. I thought some of you might think this was a cute idea for your destination wedding.
So here’s to our wonderful clients and friends.
I want to first off say that we try and get back to everyone who emails us, but with clients coming first, we can’t always get to everyone. I am guessing that there really is no way to say this that will sound good. So I will just say it. We get so many emails from photographers, sometimes its very hard to get back to everyone in a timely manner. It can get awkward too sometimes. Running into someone you were unable to get back to, and now you are at a photography function. It’s an awful feeling. If we had enough hours in the day it wouldn’t happen. So please don’t hate us. In an effort to help out with this we try and answer questions with blog posts as we can.
We get asked this question a lot . Tyler asked ” I am setting up my photography office very soon and I was wondering what your workspace looks like. Also were there any considerations I should think of”.
We have the studio which we do shoots at and consultations, but for the everyday work this is our place. As you can tell we are a Mac Family at some point we will probably get one for our dog:)
Considerations:
1. Keep the walls a neutral color. You don’t want any color casts when you are doing your editing. You don’t want to get caught making adjustments you don’t need to.
2. Make sure you have good chairs. You are going to spend a lot of time in front of the computer. We went around to a lot of places and actually sat in the chairs to make sure they were good for our body. Don’t just buy something off the internet and don’t skimp on your chair.
3. Since we have a studio we rotate the work on the walls from the studio and office. Make sure to display things that inspire you, artwork, paintings, work you love or want to do more of.
4. If you are not using two monitors do it. I am working in photoshop so much that it is a lifesaver to have another monitor just for my pallets. I have a 30 inch main and 23 inch.
