I received an email from Dessy Group awhile back inviting me to upload my images to their site for their new inspiration board application. What is an inspiration board, you ask? In a nutshell, it’s a collage of fabulous wedding details. At Dessy Group, Bride’s have the option to browse these hot little boards, or create...

OMG! This is incredible! I’m going to play right NOW… YEEEEEE
So, I tried to do a Q & A post weekly and to put it bluntly, I failed. I had initially selected Sunday’s as the Q & A day, but we often are out of town- which sometimes results in being without internet, so that wasn’t a very smart choice, now was it? :) ...

hey holli! i am a huge fan of your work, your style is unique. how do you do it? i am an aspiring photographer out of california, not pro yet. for equipment i have a canon 50d and a 50 1.8 and the little 18-55 my camera came with when i bought it. i saw your post about the lenses you have (wish i owned them!), but i feel like the equipment will only do part of the job. what tips do you have for style? i think i can develop my style with what i have and tweak the images to look perfect in photoshop. i would love your input, thanks!

Hi Holli;
I just wanted to let you know that I admire your work. Great composure and a nice light feel.
I can’t even begin to say how excited I am about all of the upcoming events and plans Sara and I have for our Vixen line. In the past 2 years, Vixens has really turned into a line of photography that I am so proud of and I just feel absolutely blessed to offer such...

Our radio ad is on the air!! I received an inquiry today saying she heard us on the radio. SO EXCITING!! Hugs, Sara

Meaghan~ Sara and I ADORE you and Chelsea!! :) Thank you so much for all that you do for us to make the Vixen line what it is. I can’t imagine working with any other girls- you both are so vital to our team and the success of the line! :) Can’t wait to see where this takes us… Thanks again!

Love your make up and hair artist!
Okay, okay- so I wasn’t planning to not blog this past week- but that’s exactly what happened. I was on vacation last week, we had a family trip to the coast, my little guy started Kindergarten and I took a lot of time getting caught up on editing, emails and sleep. :) So, needless to...

I can’t wait until I get married so you can be my photographer!

Great tips! Keep these posts coming, it’s so cool how open you are with what you know. Thanks!

My dream is to become a wedding photographer, but how do you get started? I have several friends who are getting married, but I just don’t feel right asking them if I can photograph them when I don’t have any examples to show them or top of the line equipment. I don’t even have a site or business cards, either. With nothing to show, what would be the point? I just don’t know where to start.. What are your suggestions? Oh, and I love your blog BTW!

Good advice Holli – second shooters make all the difference. I have so much more fun and stress much less when I have a second shooter. Plus the client gets more coverage which makes them happy :)
Um, yikes! Has a week seriously passed by?? It seems impossible and also terrible that an entire week has gone by and I failed to post anything to my blog. Dear internet, I’ve neglected you. So sorry!! I have been lost in the land of editing. I have so much to post and I’m desperately...

I wish I had an 85mm 1.2 with a 5D Mark II!! Someday! :) Thanks for the comments!!

Oh, don’t forget about the awesome 85mm f/1.2L lens. That one is a beauty on a 5D and especially a 5DMII! I love it and it has saved me in very low-lit receptions. <3
