May 2012

When Mindy and I decided to join forces for our wedding venture, we thought it’s be fun to organize a stylized engagement/ wedding shoot to get used to working together and to promote our new partnership. Mindy recruited SuJin and Brian to be our models for the day. You wouldn’t believe it from the pictures, but they have been married for many years and have three beautiful children. And if that weren’t enough, they’re *really* good looking and so much fun to be around …some folks just have it all! We can’t thank them enough for taking time away from their family to work with us on this project – YOU ROCK!

And a HUGE shout out to Liz and Emily of  Salon Forte for the beautiful job they did on hair and makeup. They were with us throughout the day to ensure that SuJin looked  flawless at every turn….thank you!

“Life is like a camera, just focus on what’s important and capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don’t work out, just take another shot.”


I’ve seen this quote floating around the web and I’ve just had to share. FOCUS…gosh! I wish it were that easy. I’ve been home from our fabulous Aruban vacation for a week now, but have been having a hard time staying focused long enough to write a blog post. So this is my attempt to get the ball rolling and hopefully, start sharing the many pictures I have sitting on my computer.

Double exposure occurs in  film photography when one shot is superimposed over another. This happy accident doesn’t occur in digital photography, but you can recreate the look in Photoshop (read an easy tutorial on how to achieve the look here).  Since I’ve been spending most of my time prepping for my trip to Aruba in two days, I decided to dig through my archives and find some examples of my travel “happy accidents” (places that we stumbled upon by  sheer luck) for this month’s theme.  Crossing my fingers that the trend continues on this trip…see you all when I return!

The next stop is a film photographer who just joined The Creativity Project.  I’m already loving her pictures and I’m sure she will show us digital folk  how a “REAL” double exposure image is done. Please continue the circle with Katherine of Oh Nerdiness!
