Leather Craftsmen Sample Album...

It has finally arrived!! There is something about opening the box of a Leather Craftsmen Album that just says, "WOW!" We ordered our first studio sample album about a month ago and received it last week. We are so excited to now have it to show clients and help them understand what we mean when we say those simple words... Leather Craftsmen..!

When you say Leather Craftsmen it means, a custom, perfect, and immaculate way to display the photos of your wedding day. From the custom cover material to the embossing of the couples names, the thick flush mounted pages and the spine that allows each page to open flat, these albums are the "creme de la creme."

We can't wait to create more of them for all of our amazing clients and now with our sample we will be able to help them understand what we mean when we say, "Your Leather Craftsmen Album."

To put it simple... "These albums kick ass.!!"

Dancing... Babies.. and UP!

It was one of those weekends! Where every time I turned around there seemed to be a message that was being shouted at me over and over... "Life is an adventure, filled with moments big and small."

It started on Friday night, after a great dinner and some rowdy board games we had a dance party with two of our closest friends at their house. The spur of the moment, let loose, have fun dance and sing with all your heart kinda dance party! Saturday it was all about baby. A good friend had her shower in Venice and it was a day filled with laughter and celebrating a new little life coming into this world! To top it all off we watched the movie, UP, and let me just tell you I cried. no not the cute little tears that stream gently down your face, but the big soggy ones that make your nose run and your eyes puffy. The part that got me (without giving to much away) was when Mr. Fredrickson had reached his goal and while looking threw the "Adventure Book, Things I'm going to do," section, he saw a lifetime of shared memories filled with love.. and a note... "Thanks for the adventures together, now go make new ones!"

For me this weekend was about seeing and going after that adventure in life, from the small dance parties to celebrating a new baby! Life is a journey and this weekend reminded me to take the moments along the way and embrace them! With Thanksgiving right around the corner I feel happy, thankful and excited!

Cheers! Kyle & Allison..

(Because every post is better with a photo.. here is one from our recent trip to Hawaii that felt very appropriate.!)

A Little Lifestyle...

During our free time one thing Kyle and I love to do is shoot lifestyle photos of our friends. We love the fun and carefree aspect of just taking a afternoon, playing some tunes, and letting loose. Lifestyle photography is great because it allows us to take a different approach shooting and giving direction, and it takes a new kind of creativity. There's lots of laughter, the phrase "work it out" (has become a personal favorite of mine) and just plain fun! We have a little home studio and have been getting quite good use out of it!

It challenges us to evoke all types of emotion, and see the various ways to capture that emotion . Capturing that one frame that says it all.

So here are some out takes of a recent shoot! Never underestimate the power of a friend, a fan and a white seamless!

Cheers!

s28 + Pasadena Expo...

Sunday we headed up to Pasadena for our first wedding expo. We have spent the past few weeks getting everything ready. Printing, editing, gathering our supplies all in anticipation of our day today! One of our favorite stops when we were getting ready was My Sweet And Saucy Shop, where the Fabulous Melody had her amazing lollipop cupcakes waiting for us!

We had a great time at the expo and were lucky enough to meet with many different brides all unique and special with excitement in their voice and sparkle in their eyes when they told us about their upcoming Weddings! We are looking forward to getting to know some of the wonderful brides (and a few grooms) we met and be a part of their big day!!

Cheers!!

A Shortbread Aloha Gift...

It was a fun day, filled with laughter, talk of dogs, surf and meeting two new people we could call friends! They are an easy going couple that laughs freely and easily and Kyle and I instantly felt like we had met two kindred spirits. Vanessa and Joe were so much fun to shoot when we visited Hawaii last September.

Friday we were surprised to find they had sent us a little piece of aloha in the form of shortbread cookies covered in chocolate from the Hawaiian Cookie Company. So amazingly good, so thoughtful and so Vanessa and Joe.! It is with a warm heart and a big smile I write this post because that is what means the most to Kyle and I... genuine.. real people, real connections and real friends!

With that... Mahalo Vanessa and Joe, and A Hui Hou!! (until we meet again)
