i've been putting the finishing touches on lots of albums...
Julie and Steve's was released a little while ago and I didn't post it! what was i thinking?! They are from colorado, and very adventurous. An absolutely gorgeous couple, their album was a joy to design. HERE you go! (or click on the photo below) and don't forget to adjust your speakers.
watch for more!
~ciao for now~
i got up really early and went to the grocery store. i found these great little Lipton packs...
i don't drink enough water. i just don't get thirsty! it's very weird. i thought this might be a good thing to try and they are so good! i only got one little box, but i think i will try some others. just pour it into a bottle of water and - tada!- iced tea!
then, when i got home, xanny was looking particuarly scruffy...
so he got a haircut and a bath. usually this project takes a few days, but he was so good! he stood pretty still for the clippers, and then we went to Larry's Laundomutt for his bath.
hey! here are the shoes i bought! all 6 pair! DSW was having a fantastic sale, and my total for all my new shoes was only $160! my receipt said i saved over $300!! woohoo!!!
~ciao for now~
i have on planet earth...
holy WOW! since i don't have TV - and with the writers' strike i'm not missing a THING! - i do watch a TON of movies and dvd's. this series is absolutely incredible. Here is the trailer for the series - once you see it, you will want the whole collection.
the little penguins polar bears and things i've never even HEARD of before... and the places, like caves and deserts and mountains that this technology has captured is truly beyond words.
"With an unprecedented production budget, using high-definition ph photography and revolutionary ultra-high speed cameras, FIVE YEARS in the making, over 2000 days in the field , using 40 cameramen across 200 locations, Planet Earth is the ultimate portrait of our planet."

Oh Those RED shoes!
What a fabulous couple Rena and Mark are… we had a wonderful time at their wedding! It was a beautiful evening ceremony at Heinz Chapel, complete with 25 attendants and a Baptist choir! We have photos of the choir that sang from the balcony and then processed up the isle to celebrate this union. Just fabulous!
We then headed over to the Carnegie Museum Hall of Architecture. This was our first time in this area of the Museum and I must say it is simply elegant. Mary Jo kept everything running smooth as silk! Contact Mary Jo to coordinate your wedding at the Museum. It was wonderful to see the guests filling the couple’s guestbook that we created. Rachel at Hepatica created an enchanted forest of magnificent color – with branches and lanterns in the centerpieces on the bridal table. (Call Rachel at (412) 241-3900.) The wedding cake was decorated similarly with branches and flowers, including dogwood – all live – and the GROOMS cake was a little ground hog with a proud top hat. One of our favorite details was an ice sculpture of the Pittsburgh sky line by Mastro Ice! The guests chose either a cosmopolitan or apple martini that was poured down the sculpture to their glass – check it out, it’s in the slideshow! Jeremy Ganss kept everyone dancing all night – check Jeremy out on line, LIVE! He’s simply one of the BEST music masters, ever. I even have a demo CD that I listen to in my car! Yes! Wedding music – my sister wanted to buy it – it’s THAT good! Since I won’t give up my copy, Jeremy hooked me up with a couple more so that I can pass them on.
Of course, no BELLISSIMA wedding would be complete without a stunningly gorgeous bride and groom. Rena looked amazing in her strapless, beaded gown from Carlisle’s and Mark was handsome Saturday and Sunday for their day-after, ‘we did!’ session. Since the wedding was toward evening, we decided to get together Sunday for a few formal photos of just them. It was so cold outside that we decided to pull out One Light and shoot at the Cathedral of Learning – what a perfect setting. We used Rena’s fabulous RED Christian Lacroix shoes instead of flowers for a lot of the photos – STUNNING! I liked the photos so well that I've already added them to our Latest Work web page.
Hmmm… I don’t think I left anything out, so now I’m SURE you want to see the Moving Pictures. HERE they are!
Thank you so much Rena and Mark! We had a magnificent time with you!
P.S. Our charity of the month is Hair Peace Charities. We will be donating 10% of all print sales this month in Rena's name - she is a survivor! Each month we donate to a different charity.
we are so lucky to be photographing rena + mark's wedding tomorrow. i am so excited! rena is SUCH a SWEETHEART and mark is a DOLL! we'll be heading over to heinz chapel tonight for the rehearsal - only one of our favorite places - and the celebration tomorrow night will be dj'd by none other than jeremy ganss! YAY!
since we have a tight schedule tomorrow, we are going to spill over into sunday for a 'day after - we did!' session with this fabulous couple! i'm hoping to get everything online as soon as possible.
i'm super excited to be using our new cameras! we ended up investing in 4 new bodies, and i've got them all set to go. we also ended up getting a few more CF cards. (10 more 2GB cards.) memory is so inexpensive now. kingston cards have the lowest failure rate, so that's my choice. couldn't beat this price on amazon - so we got a bunch! here's the link, if you need memory...pick up a bunch!
and this is the one you want for your point and shoot cameras... a 2GB SD card - super price!
and after tomorrow i'll post rena + mark's guest book - it's a surprise! they will see it tonight! so stop back for more photos, and take a guess on the contests!!
~ciao for now!
ok.... i got some good ideas for a new blog name, but, as you can see, i haven't made a change - so i'm continuing the contest. the name of my blog is kind of important to me - how silly i am! i can't just pick anything. so i've decided that i will continue this part of the contest *until* someone hits me with a blog name that i can't live without. there is definitely one in the lead... perhaps it will grow on me. ANYWAY -
contest 1
NAME MY BLOG part of my contest continues - at stake... a $25 gift certificate to amazon.com or starbucks. c'mon guys - put your thinking caps on! i need your help!
contest 2
SHOES WILL CONTINUE FOR ONE MORE WEEK. since i'm giving more time, i thought i'd give some time here, too. and because you guys have been sooooooooooooo conservative! (HINT, HINT) i'm keeping the contest open until 1.23.08, so GET YOUR GUESSES IN! Here's the question...WHEN I WENT SHOE SHOPPING, HOW MANY PAIRS OF SHOES DID I BUY??? If you are right, you'll get $10 to spend at Starbucks or iTunes!

HEY! my earphones came in. WOW! i kind of thought i was being frivolous, as $99 for earphones is ridiculous. but, they are from BOSE and, well, it's kind of the only thing from bose that i can even consider affording. i would really like the bose travel speakers (maybe someone will get them for me for my birthday, or more likely, i'll hit the lottery). 
at any rate, my review of these little gems is that they are terrific. they do not stuff into your ears, so they feel different, but they stay in - it's kind of unusual. i had no trouble with them while i was on the treadmill or walking xanny. and the SOUND! you simply MUST hear them for yourself! go ahead - treat yourself.... the earphones are only $99, but the 'full meal deal' is awesome! ~ciao!
hey! check out this new shoe website...
AND where are the IDEAS!? and so few guesses on my shoes...
so sad - so many emails for a contest - where did you go? scroll down to find the contests!!!
i got my subscription notice today and the oddest thing - it was blank! so i wanted to post again right away.
check out the contest below!!!
i also wanted to post Becca+Bill's album preview. this couple was absolutely 'pure style'. from their bruno magli and jimmy choo shoes to their sporty little mini cooper that they drove off in, this couple screams STYLE! Rebecca's darling mom made her gown, and embroidered the inside of her dress with a little poem that she didn't see until her wedding day. (we knew Rebecca would tear up when she saw it - I did!)
this wedding was in the same town as the Longaberger Basket company, and the reception was at the Longaberger Club. baskets everywhere! sooooo beautiful! brenda caught this shot of the couple running toward their car after the ceremony... i LOVE it! just click on the photo or the link below to see their beautiful wedding and album preview!
~CIAO!
