DENVER BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHER: J’S CORVETTE BOUDOIR SESSION

I have had the opportunity to work with J.  She is not only beautiful, but a super sweet person.  We have been collaborating for months about her shoot, and she blew me away with some of her ideas.  I shoot a ton of boudoir sessions, but because of their personal nature, I don’t mind if my clients choose to share or not.  J was fantastic and offered to share on the blog!

I swear she looked like Jessica Simpson in this shoot.  From a Colorado tropical pool setting, to a toasty fireplace, and a BLUE CORVETTE, this session promises to top my list in faves.  J, thanks for being awesome and letting me share some of your fabulous shoot!

And, a special thanks to Rachael with Girls and Curls who provided the gorgeous hair and makeup!

FLAVORFUL FRIDAYS, ALBUM EDITION #2

Two weeks ago I started talking about my album workflow for photographers with albums.  I get TONS of questions from photographers about this.  Truth is, albums really are a lot of work.  It is so rewarding to watch them come together for my clients and tell the WHOLE story of the day, but I have a system that works very well, and is repeated for each client.

This next paragraph is mostly for photographers, and answering the questions I have recently received: Because we return a ton of images to the client after the wedding, I go through and make an initial album design for my clients.  I began using Project Workroom for my clients to review the design and make changes.  Let me say, it has been amazing!  Check them out!  I use Adobe InDesign to design the layout of my albums.  It has drastically decreased my design time … and is so much more fluid than Photoshop.  If you are not using InDesign, you should be.  I use the software now for my marketing materials, album designs, business cards.  It is just a fabulous Graphic Design software!  It also allows you to make templates that you will use again. My clients make their changes, submit them to me, and the album is sent to print!

As I said last week, I make my albums no nonsense designs.  The images speak for themselves on clean white backgrounds.  I also hate to cram too many images on a page, as I feel it gets distracting from the story.  Here are a few recent album spreads.

That’s it … It’s my 2 cents on album design.  I hope it answered a lot of you photographer’s questions.

Bill Nixon — Karie, Thank you for this post. I have been using my online gallery and having them send me emails. It is a little confusing for the client. This looks like a really great solution to a tricky process. I wish that Project Workroom had a demo, but the screens shots look intuitive enough. I may give them a try. Thanks again for the post.   ( December 4, 2009 @ 9:55 pm )

ERIN + BILLY, MARRIED! BLACKSTONE COUNTRY CLUB, AURORA

I celebrated a completely awesome day with Erin and Billy at Blackstone Country Club in Aurora a few weeks ago.  I LOVE when we have a lot of time for bride and groom portraits.  Erin and Billy saw each other before hand (a First Look), so we got to spend time before and after the ceremony with the two of them.  I have so many favorites from their wedding that it has been uber hard to narrow this down.  Erin and Billy are a genuine, awesomely, lovely couple who spent their wedding day surrounded by their closest friends and family.

Blackstone is AMAZING (I highly recommend it), but I found this garage, and we had to shoot in it :)  That’s just how I roll!  LOVE THIS IMAGE.
