date.

i am a little behind posting on here! this past week was a little busy getting ready for (my first) bridal show. it was this weekend and it went wonderfully! i will try and post some pictures soon. the pictures above are from valentines day….jay and i went out for a while and got some pizza, walked around the city….it was pretty sweet! he made me some homemade valentines which, you know, is so much better than a hallmark card ;) anywho, i hope you all had a wonderful weekend! i’m going to spend the day with my little one and play some “baaa” (ball) with him :) have a great day!

 

dear brother…

…a very happy 16th birthday to you.  so thankful for you!

love, your seester

valentine’s inspired engagement session | jeremy + laura

ok, so i don’t post every session or every wedding on here because i like to keep it mainly a personal blog but i just had to post this session! last saturday i spent some time with jeremy and laura and what a sweet couple they are! it was absolutely freezing but we made it and took some photos outside (and i’m so glad we did!) i loved the valentine’s day-inspired props, the cafe, her ring (jeremy’s great-grandma’s)…everything about the day was lovely. here are a few photos from our time together….happy valentine’s day y’all!!

 

 

 

and the winner is…

just wanted to thank you all who entered for the kelly moore giveaway!! i was blown away by the response! hopefully there will be similar giveaways in the near future! :) according to random.org the winner is jen jacobs of kitestrings photography. congrats! i will be emailing you soon for details. love y’all!!

KELLY MOORE BAG GIVEAWAY.- CLOSED.

so excited about this giveaway mainly because i love the kelly moore bag that i have! it has been SUCH a lifesaver while shooting sessions and weddings!! before, i was carrying around a huge camera bag and by the end of the day, my shoulders would kill! then i found these wonderful camera bags, and i am so thankful! while shooting weddings, i take a large camera bag with me and then i wear my grey kelly moore classic bag while shooting. i can easily fit 3-4 lenses in my bag, along with cf cards, a flash, my keys, etc. it is so easy to switch out lenses especially when i am in a hurry! i have heard of others using these bags for diaper bags or for a different type business (not only photography.) the best part is that these bags look professional and they definitely are. i love them!!

 

i will be giving away one kelly moore b-hobo bag (any color choice)

also, the lovely folks at kelly moore are giving my readers $15 off any bag purchase using the code: Journey15 which will be good through 2/29/12  be sure to check out all of their bags on their website.

february & a feature.

i can’t believe that we’re already almost a week into february! and valentine’s day is just around the corner….phew, time is flying!! this past weekend i spent a lot of time catching up on some photography work, sending emails, and spent time with family & friends! did y’all watch the super bowl? we watched it, kind of…but didn’t really have anyone we necessarily wanted to win. it was pretty neat that it was in indianapolis though (my hometown!)

anywho, i have finally updated my about page as well as the resources page (kind of like an faq page….but i think “faq” kind of sounds weird to me. so resources is better!) also…i will be having a giveaway here shortly, and i am so excited about it!! stay tuned!

also, chris and jordan’s wedding that i photographed in the fall is featured over at occasions magazine website! you can check it out here .

much love,
arielle
