Hollie's Tip of the Week #2

Ok, girls.  Who among you has fallen in love with a gorgeous satin dress for your bridesmaids?  Let me give you a word of caution when comes to wanting fabulous pictures.  No satin.  The satin actually will reflect your photographers flash when indoors like the church or reception.  What this does is cause every little thing the bridesmaids dislike about their body to be shown of with a bright light.  Doesn't that sound fun!  So, brides to keep peace with your friends and family steer away from the satin, or any other fabric that has a shine, or gloss to the material.

I was so excited when I drove down the freeway and saw this.  My first billboard!  No, it is not an ad for my business, but I am the photographer.  I had to try taking a picture of it twice.  First, while I was driving!  (I don't recommend that option).  Second, my husband drove me, but still going 70 mph the image was a little shaky to say the least.  Cool isn't it!

Hollie's Tip of the Week

Tip #1

This one is for all you brides who want to look beautiful on your wedding day.  Let me give you a  helpful hint for gorgeous portraits.   Make certain your make-up does not contain any type of shine or sparkle.  Although, this may add a hint of glow on a normal evening out, on your wedding day you don't want to appear shiny.  Always have some extra powder with your maid of honor for instant touch ups.  More tips to come!
