Irena+Johann | 04.04.2009 wedding

Good afternoon everyone.   Here is yesterday’s wedding for Irena+Johann.  

I know that I’m jumping ahead and Blogging Wedding before I had a chance to Blog E-sessions.  
But I have decided to Blog 3 E-sessions one after another.   So E-sessions will be uploaded next week.

Mean while, yesterday’s wedding was awesome!  Very relaxed atmosphere.  Very elegant.  Decorations and flowers were superb.     
Johann is from Germany, and both of his best men are from germany.  But I didn’t try to test their Doich:)))   P.S. They lived there for 18 years so I’m sure it’s perfect.

Uhh.. look at those flowers.  You know, before for me everything was “the same”.  I could look into a wedding magazine and say “Oh that looks nice” but I didn’t know why?  I couldn’t pin point and say why it looks nice.   Now days it’s much easier for me. After my photography style grew, I started to notice all little details.      

Why did we stop at this place?   Well, #1 reason is because a LIMO tire blew up when a driver drove over the curb; so while Limo driver was putting a spare tire, we had a 10 min photo-shoot.  

TIP:  When planning your wedding day schedule, DO plan for extra time for emergencies!.  :))))

Next week Blogs

Good afternoon.   Just wanted to keep everyone updated.   I’m up and running smoothly with postproduction behind new computer for couple of days now.  Due to PC to MAC switch I lost at least 5 days of work, and now I feel pressure to catch up.

Next week I’ll try to upload several E-sessions, Family session and a wedding.   

I’m doing my best.  As you can see Christina keeps checking in me several times a day.  I work from home office so Christina loves to climp on my office table sit in front of our 30″ Apple Display and ask me to turn on some cartoon for her to watch:)

Oh yes she said my classes are funny but her glasses are cool:)   

DND Hair Studio

Hello everyone.  Here are a few images from photo shoot for Natalia that took place last week.

Mean while, I just remembered story about Natalia.  Several month ago, Natalia asked us (Oksana and me) to create a Wedding album for her.   Natalia and Dima had a traditional album; but she also wanted a Flush mount one.   Because they had photos on DVD, we made a design.  

When we were ordering album she came to my office and said:
N:  OK I’m ready to order; what’s the biggest size of album I can order?
A:  I was like “What!?? Why do you need the biggest size?”
N:  ”Why can’t I ask what’s the biggest album size you have?” I’m a client as well, remember….?
A:  ”So, I looked in an order form and it was 12×32 inches on full spread.. and Natalia said: Perfect. let’s do that but is that the biggest one?
After confirmation she gave me money and ran to her appt.   Took her 5 minutes to decide.

So that’s Natasha.      

Here is the same image.. I decided to put it on my desktop for a day.  
 

Switched to Mac :-)

Good afternoon everyone.  Just wanted to put a little update.   Soon I’ll start posting on Blog again.  I was pretty busy swiching to new computer system for the last week..  YES I switched to MAC.

Valera and I tested computers a lot.  One time, we were in Apple store and started to play with Mac and it didn’t have Elements nor Photoshop.  I said to Val: “too bad that we didn’t take our own photoshop to install, than Val looked over a girl who was checking My Space on iMac next to us and said: “Oh, her internet works and our doesn’t;  I’ll be right back.  
I still didn’t understand what he was doing.  
Turns out, he realized in split of a second that if Internet works in store computers it means we can get Photoshop for 30 days trial right over internet from Adobe.  
    

So after long tests, I finally purchased Mac.  We have network between our computers.  Network means we can transfer files between computers via network.  
Also, I have a print server; so when my printer down stairs is low on INK I just send a file to print upstairs to Oksana’s printer and ask my son to ran upstairs and get my papers:)

Network is convenient; but can be lots of headache to set it up.  Finally, all computers see each other on network.  I have XP Pro, Vista 64 bit and Leopard 10.5 and with all firewalls it took me a while to configure everything out.  

 

Anyway I’m back behind computer.
