It's a sad sad day...

I am posting today from my husbands laptop as the tech guys @ PC Laptops in SLC attempt to save all the data and programs from my computer. Apparently it's fried-way beyond repair. How did this happen you ask? Well I have NO idea. I am certainly not a computer guru by any means but we thought we'd been doing everything right. Long story short, I am without my main "work" computer. If you are waiting for proofs from your session there is a possibility they will be delayed. Hopefully they can transfer all my data and programs to a new computer and get it back to me tomorrow but I'm not positive. For now note to self, take the computer in to be serviced every 6-12 months and don't wait for a problem to get it checked.

Crying tears of frustration!!

**edited to add**
I am unable to get any emails for right now either. If you have emailed me and are waiting for a response, I promise to get back to you as soon as I get my computer up and running the right way again. Thanks for your patience!

***Product Spotlight***

Well hello Internet! Today I thought we would take some time to explore some of my favorite products-Press Printed Albums. I know I know you can hardly contain your excitement right. :)Everyone put your hands together for The Custom 10"x10" Leather Bound Photo Book...

As you can see this particular example is black leather and 10 inches by 10 inches. You can also choose chocolate brown or dark red leather, black, chocolate brown or tan linen like fabric or the ultra fabulous custom photo cover. The covers are all made with masonite for a smooth, substantial feel and extra durability.

The pages are all professionally printed on heavy weight "hinged" paper which allows them to lay flat when the book is opened and provides a thicker more upscale presentation. They also have UV coating for added protection and a glossy look and feel.

The layout and page design are all done by yours truly with the help of Photoshop of course. Each 10" book is typically 20-25 pages and allows for approximately 50-55 photos. With the leather covers we can also have the front cover foil stamped with up to 3 lines of text.

This little beauty is a 5"x5" custom photo cover album. It has all the same yummy goodness inside just on a smaller scale.

With the custom photo cover option you can choose to add photos to both the front and back covers.

This particular "baby" book was designed to showcase a smaller number of photos in a modern shabby chic sort of way. With this size you can choose approximately 15-20 photos to highlight from your session. Again all the design work is done by moi so it is completely customizable color and layout wise.

If you need a larger size you can also opt for an 8"x8" album, again with all the same features of the books mentioned here. Looking for a smaller "brag book"? Well I can do that too! I can custom design a 3"x3" leather bound brag book with 10 pages/photos that fits perfectly in your purse or makes a unique gift for Grandma. I'll show some photos of this little cutie next time.

These gorgeous books are all meant to be showcased like coffee table albums, not stuffed in a closet with the scrapbooks you intend to finish when the kids go off to college. Show these babies off as the artwork they are!

I hope I have given you a little taste of the magic of Press Printed Albums. Stop by the studio to see any of these options in person. Until next time!

Ta Ta For Now!

Hello Hello Hello!

It's the middle of the week and I thought I would pop in and say hello. I know I shocked y'all with some wedding photos last week and I'm feeling a little spunky again tonight.


Everyone I would like to introduce Jen & Larry. Yes I know they look like Barbie and Ken only much less snooty-I promise. They were the most low key couple I have ever met. Their wedding was held at the beautiful Alta Lodge and I was incredibly honored to be a part of such a fabulous day!




These are photos of some of the unique touches of the evening. Rather than a traditional guest book they had everyone sign on wine corks. I thought it was the perfect touch. Oh and don't get me started on the colors. The greens, browns and yellows were luscious! Jen is definitely a girl after my own heart. Everything was simple and elegant. The bride was simply stunning! Thanks again Jen and Larry, good luck in the new house.

On another note now that we have started a new year I am going to be doing some periodic product spotlights. If you know me you know that I am not much of a salesman so you probably don't know all of the things I offer. Starting next week I plan to showcase or spotlight a new product or offering every couple of weeks so you can all get to know what I can do. Again I'm not much of a salesman but I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

Thanks again for following along. Stay tuned for scenes from next weeks episode...

Welcome to 2010!

Now that we are 8 days into the new year I figured it was about time I posted some photos. I have been busy working and spending time with my loved ones. Hopefully y'all were doing the same!

I think I'll start the new year out on the right foot by posting a couple of photos from a fabulous wedding last September. I know, I know you thought I didn't do weddings. Well, truth is I will occasionally oblige if the timing is right and I can make it work. I introduced you to Landan and Christina this past summer. You all remember the gorgeous shot with the blue umbrella on the red bridge right?!

Just in case your memory needed refreshing. Yes that's the old logo, I know. I'm too lazy to change it right now. :)

Anyway I was privileged enough to work with them again at their wedding in the Bountiful Temple in September. Here are a couple of my favorite shots.

As the Beatles so eloquently said "all you need is love."

On a personal side note I thought I would mention yet again how much we love Shriners Hospital. Some how in the amazing universe that is the internet someone at Shriners got ahold of my last post about Savanna and ballet and personally called me for an interview and more info about her and her condition. I was MORE than happy to oblige and forwarded on numerous photos I have of her in the casts and braces and now dancing and plieing properly. I was so very touched that they wanted to talk to little 'ol me. Savanna means the world to us and we are so incredibly blessed that she was able to receive treatment and respond so well. There are many more children out there who are not so lucky. Thank you Shriners and Thank you internet! You will never how you have changed our lives!

Also I want to say Thank You to all of my amazing clients. 2009 was a great year and I am super excited for 2010. It's going to be fabulous!!

Until next time,
Angela
