Just one while I work on uploading, converting, organizing, editing… and diaper changing, feeding, time-outs……..
Yay! I blogged everyday this week! Don’t expect it in the coming weeks because I don’t usually have this much to say — okay, that anyone wants to hear.
Speaking of a lot of chatter (ha ha), this past Saturday I got together with a few fellow photographers from Red Deer and area for a mini-shoot, dinner and dancing! We had a fantastic time and hope to do it again soon!
Here are some of the beautiful ladies as they stepped out from behind the lens! (Hint: Click their names to check out their website!)
If you don’t already know, I owe my current success to Deanna. She’s been a great mentor and friend over the past year and if you love my work, send a big thank you to her for helping me to get where I am today!
My fabulous lifestyle photographer friend from Lacombe!
My spunky friend capturing Innisfail families’ moments and memories!
My amazingly talented friend and one of the nicest people you will ever meet!
My fun, hardworking, wedding photography friend!
First, a couple of reminders:
Now, a mini-announcement that may upset you; but don’t worry, we’re all going to be okay:
No more Sneak Peeks.
I’ve decided that I’d like to save the first look of our clients’ sessions for them. The build up of anticipation may darn near kill a client but having the first look at an entire gallery at once will be a great pay off — trust me!
Don’t worry, blog readers — you will still get to view some of my favourite images from the sessions but not until after a client has viewed their gallery and ordered the ones they love the most! That means there may be a short period where the blog isn’t updated while we wait to get on the other side of the sessions.
I hope I didn’t disappoint anyone too much and will try to keep your entertained as best as I can during this change.
If you’re new to the blog, then you won’t recognize this little princess that is so special to me! Her name is Madelyn (Maddie to those close to her) and she’s graced the blog with her hospital mini-session and her newborn session.
This past weekend, we celebrated Madelyn’s birth and showered her mom and her with gifts! (If you need a baby shower gift idea, check out the gift what we got her.) Here’s just a couple images from her big party!
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to….
Beautiful decorations, loving friends and family, Babycakes Cupcakes (yum!) and a hand-made Raggedy-Ann doll.
I wanted to show another fun product offered by Zimmermann Photography:
I had this particular one ordered for my friend for her baby shower but there can be any number of template on the front (including no template, just the photo) and the edges can be produced as white, black, steel or wood grain. This one is a nice 8×8 size (perfect for bathrooms, not-so-wide walls, etc.) but they can be done in almost any size!
The saying on this template is perfect for gifts for Mother’s Day, Christmas/Birthday for Mom or for a New Mom.
The back comes with pre-made notches and is ready to be hung!
This is an example of a similar template (Mom-Themed). This template was designed for a 10×5 storyboard but can be enlarged to 10×20 (or larger) and/or made to create a stand out, gallery wrap, storyboard…. the possibilities are endless. The ‘definition’ is also alterable.
Just a little note for the Brides of 2011:
Zimmermann Photography books only a select number of weddings each year. What does this mean for you? If you are planning your wedding for 2011, contact us today to ensure your date is still available!
I started my photography business over a year ago and since then, it’s been quite the ride. I’ve met many new, fabulous people. I’ve learned to diplomatically stand my ground with the not-so-fabulous people. I’ve discovered many supporters — friends – I didn’t know I had. I’ve endured criticism and judgment from ‘supporters’ I thought I had. I’ve learned to believe in myself.
I’ve worked HARD.
I have worked extra hard over the past 4 months in pursuit of a goal. The goal was to purchase a new camera body with accessories. The 2 a.m. editing, weekend sessions and template-boycott have paid off and the day my family and I have been working towards has finally arrived.
Meet [name to be determined], my new d700.
Thank you so much to all my fantastic clients and friends for your support. Thank you very much to Deanna Hall, Penny Moffitt, Nichole Drevenak and all the other photogs that have given me advice and helped me learn. Most of all, thank you to Kyle, Carter & Tucker for being patient and coming along this journey with me.
Stay tuned for more fabulous images brought to you by the dynamic duo: Melissa & D700.
*Quick Reminder: Don’t miss out on your fall mini-session spot!
There are only a few left! Reserve Now!*
Despite the smoke clouding our Central Alberta skies (from forest fires over 800 km away) we headed out to Waiprous this past weekend for our annual quad/dirt bike trip with friends from Calgary! I’m so glad we braved the smokey weather as it was nearly clear in the mountains!
A bit of cold weather, a baby moniter that didn’t work, one tumble by Dad — but a lot of fun the whole weekend! Big thanks to Jamie & Carey for putting on another awesome weekend and for making such great lookin’ kids to photograph!
Here’s some of our shots from Waiprous 2010 (check out 2009 here):
I can hardly believe that this sweet, sleepy newborn has turned into the chubby, smiley little 7 month old I hung out with Sunday evening! His mom and I took him for a stroll down main street and he was in such a super mood the whole time!
Our session was quick, easy and painless and we came away with lots of fun shots of this happy boy! Thanks for the fun evening, Owen & Crystal!
This expression totally makes me think of his older sister’s one year photos!
