Laura Gordon | mentor session

Jodi — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 16:55:31 +0000

Last month we had the pleasure of meeting Laura Gordon a photographer in the Richmond area. She had expressed interest in our DVD folios we hand make for our clients and wanted to do a mentor session solely based around folio making. Laura recently did a re-brand of her business and with her re-brand she wanted to re-do all of her packaging, including her DVD presentation. This was actually more of Kurt’s thing, since he is the genius behind all of the folios we give our clients. During the session they discussed materials, tools, time, costs, and vendors; before long we had made a couple of folios, and then we were able to get down to the real work of incorporating her brand to have a folio that is uniquely hers. Well two weeks later we were able to see her folios, and they have turned out amazing – there should be a sneak peek soon on her blog (her clients are going to LOVE it!). We also did some head shots as part of the session. She like many photographers (including Kurt and I) are more comfortable behind the lens than in front of it, but we had such a blast with Laura! We love that she incorporated the colors of her photography brand into her outfit…lots of gold!

The Lady Jane

When my good friend Sara told me she wanted to start up her own antique store, I was beyond ecstatic, as anyone who knows me, knows I’m obsessed with antiques and anything vintage (ahem…our wedding ). I’ve known Sara for several years now, as we attend the same church, she sang at our wedding (Sara has an amazing voice!), and she’s the only one who I can shop with at Anthropologie. She is probably the most stylish person I know…she always wears the most amazing outfits (and shoes!), her blue house is the cutest ever, and she has this knack for finding amazing items at any flea market. I knew this new store would be the perfect fit for her! Sara’s shop, The Lady Jane, isn’t just any antique store, it’s stylish, chic, and super vintage-y with lots of amazing finds…literally guys, the store is SO pretty! Not only that, for those who have asked, Sara will be selling a bunch of our plates and dishes from our wedding at her shop! Any brides trying to find cute things for your wedding, this shop is for you!! The Lady Jane officially opens next Friday, July 1st in downtown Harrisonburg, Virginia…make sure you swing by!!

Sara made all of these cute pillows in her shop!

the inspiration behind her shop’s name comes from her reading obsession…Jane Austen

how cute is Sara?!

Sara has the best laugh!

have to give a shout out to my husband for helping Sara make this AMAZING chalkboard!

Sara we are SO proud of you and The Lady Jane!!

Janie + Steve | Birthday Session

You may recognize Janie, head of the fabulous wedding blog, The Bride’s Cafe. Janie contacted us a couple weeks ago to do a birthday shoot for her and Steve. Of course we couldn’t pass up such an amazing opportunity. Kurt + I had such a blast with Janie + Steve…they have the best smiles and personalities and they rocked the shoot! Janie also runs JMFlora, and creates AMAZING floral arrangements, so she brought along a couple bouquets for us to shoot as well. Janie will be arranging the flowers for our own wedding…seriously, we can’t wait to see the florals…she always creates magic with her arrangements! So, swing by the cafe today and send Janie some birthday love! Enjoy this fabulous couple!

Happy Birthday Janie! You are so fabulous!

This past week our good friend Josh of Josh Gooden Cinematography invited us for an “Atonement” styled fashion shoot at Swannanoa mansion in Afton, VA…we, of course, couldn’t pass up such an incredible opportunity! Becca, our fabulous model, was absolutely amazing to work with. She is stunning + such a gifted model! When we got on location it was as if we had entered a fairy tale–a mansion constructed in marble, fountains, little stone bridges, a massive tower, + court yards–a dream location for any photographer. We couldn’t have picked a better location for our theme. Who would have thought that this gorgeous mansion is just minutes away from us? Enjoy!
