The Secret Garden

I was at the hospital the day my niece Olivia first opened her eyes to the world. She was quite literally the most beautiful baby I had ever seen. When I first held her in my arms and she looked at me with those enchanting blue eyes, I knew she was going to be something special to me and our family!  

   9 years later she is still just as beautiful and sweet as can be! We found a really cool little fern gully right by their house that I thought might look nice with an indoor chair placed in amongst the ferns. Florida doesn't have much to look at in the way of woods, but this turned out to be a fabulous little Secret Garden that we found!

   I'm not a real big fan of Photoshop Actions anymore, but I thought that the 70's coloring I used here made these feel a bit more comfortable on the eyes. 

Wedding Albums for 2012

This year I'm offering 2 different options for my custom Wedding Album designs. (Leather and Photographic Wrap Covers.) So far, the most popular has been the the Photographic wrap, and for obvious reasons! It's absolutely gorgeous!

  In the past years, the black leather has worked just fine and continues to be extremely popular simply because of the lay flat, panoramic design when opened. The black leather has that classic "custom album" look to it, whereas the Photographic wrap appeals to a more modern era. 

  When it comes right down to it, it's all about the couple's taste when choosing an album design. I'm personally just absolutely thrilled that I can have a nice contrast in Wedding Albums to offer my clients this year.
