The deadline to register to vote for the Presidential Election is Oct. 6. Yikes - that's right around the corner! I just did it myself and so I'm taking the opportunity to remind people here on my little blog. AND you have to mail something in so you'd better get going if you haven't done it already. Just click on this link, and Rock the Vote will make a form for you. Then, print out the form, SIGN IT, and mail it in. They will give you the address for your state. If you are registered but have moved in the last year you will need to change your address and mail in the same form. AND for all my recently married ladies, you need to do the same thing if you've changed your name. 

It's not too often any more that you see a photograph that is 'straight out of the camera.'  Basically all professional images have some level of post-production or 'photoshopping' done to them in order to get professional results (in terms of color, sharpness, and we won't mention the the airbrushing techniques ; )

But, this image is an exception to that rule. It is pretty much straight out of the camera.  Eliza and Brent are such a cute couple, they're perfect together!!! : )

We don't do too many bridal sessions ('bridal-logistics' don't always allow for the time) but we got to do these a few days ago and it was so much fun. For anyone who doesn't know, a bridal portrait is a photo session with just the bride, all done up - like a dress rehearsal for the wedding.  It's a great trial run for the hair and makeup (and just one more opportunity to get in the dress before the big day!) At the session the bride gets to be the supermodel and we get some great, relaxed pics of the bride for her to make prints from, include in the album, etc.  They can be displayed at the wedding, bridal luncheon, you get the picture : )  This is Ashley Williams, owner and photographer of Blackbird Photography. You may remember her engagement session with Justin.  They will be tying the knot at the Maple Grove Inn in just a few weeks!

A few of our favs....

Isn't Ashley such a doll?!  

Ashley said their wedding will have a vintage feel to it so I did an old-fashioned processing on the next image.
