A Softer Image

Just a couple of things for this rainy Friday:

As you may have noticed if you’re not in an RSS reader, we’ve revamped the blog site. We’re still working on some tweaks here and there, but we’re pleased with the new look!
I’ve been accepted to go to one of [b]ecker’s workshops in February, which is absolutely […]

Things keep plugging along! We had two potential client meetings last night, and both are weddings that I’m very excited about. Fingers crossed :)
In the meantime, I was also able to put a hurtin’ on two albums, one for Jessica & Frances and one for Sarah & Mike. Jessica/Frances’ album is a long time coming […]

Wow, it’s not even halfway through January, but the feeling of spring is in the air and we’ve already booked up a whole bunch for 2008! A Softer Image will only do three weddings per month this year, as we are devoting more time, concentration and love to each of the weddings we photograph. Each […]

Both Jen Smoose and I took a fine arts class in college where we learned how to do Polaroid transfers. This is a technique that’s rarely used anymore but creates some of the most unique textures and colors, which can add a whole new spin to a photograph.
To create a transfer, you need slide film […]

After a frustrating evening spent at a Verizon Wireless store, the following has been cemented in my mind: get it all spelled out. This is a theory that I apply to all of the A Softer Image contracts, which protects both the photographer and the couple. Should a client want more explanation about an article […]

Something non-photo related for today! A previous ASI photographer has moved to the Philippines as a missionary for worker’s rights. She’s been there for four months and we miss her terribly - so we got together with all of the people who love her to make a music video for the song “Yellow” by Coldplay […]

We’ve created a Squidoo page for information on wedding and union photography. We’ll continually update it with articles on interacting with vendors, ways to play your photography, and more. Lots of content from this blog as well. If you like it, click and rate it!

Hoorah! One of our photographers, Carmen, was featured in an exhibition last month at the British Ink Tattoo Parlor/Art Gallery. Click here to view her interview, where you can see two of her recent wedding images!

Some updates for ASI:

We’re now offering a photobooth for all of our weddings! The first wedding that books the photobooth will get a serious discount, as we’ll still be working on how to make it the best it can be. If you’re interested in adding the photobooth to your contract, email Lara to discuss pricing.

With the new blog location, we have to update our Technorati Profile It’d be great if you could also visit our profile and “fan” it! :)
