How To: Collection Menu

Everything we send to our clients, every extension of our business should reflect our brand. From the emails we send to the stamps we use.

After a few years of using a boring old word doc, I have upgraded to a lovely menu style collection description. This little beauty is sent to the bride after she inquires on pricing and details.

If I was a bride, I would want everything I receive from my photographer to be as classy and chic as possible- wouldn’t you?

Photo Inspiration: Open doors

 

I feel like that girl running through the door. She’s not walking, she’s not skipping, no caution here. She takes the future at an all-out run.

There’s something haunting about this image. I want to use this as a springboard for a fashion shoot- I have the door, now all I need is the wardrobe and model. Great images have a message behind them.” They raise more questions than they answer”, Rodney says. I wish I was effective in capturing that concept as he. practice makes perfect ;) and I’m about to practice.

Trinidad, CA Wedding: Jeremy and Caitlin

She had a crush on him for a while, but then he fell for her. And fell HARD. Not only is Caitlin beautiful, she is GOOD. That pure, gentle kind of goodness that makes everyone love her, including her family, friends, physical therapy clients and one lucky groom. ;)

Jeremy and Caitlin, seeing and photographing you together brings me so much joy. You make each other shine brighter. Such a compliment of personalities and giftings. It was a great delight to be a part of your wedding and capture these memories. I only wish we lived closer, you’re exactly the kind of new friends I would love to hang out with!!

Xoxo,

Christa

The window light was perfect for her prep shots, who knew it was a kitchen?

Caitlin’s dress was so ethereal, found at a Promises Bridal in Eureka, CA  with the most beautiful sleeves added by Monika’s California Apparel.  (more…)
