Wow, what fun this time of year can be! Not only is the weather priming up for some great outdoor activities, but also, photographers everywhere are getting motivated to start up an awesome wedding season! The monthly PUG (pictage user group) gathered last week to talk about all of the excitement that this season brings. It was held at Carla Ten Eycks new studio space in Hartford! There were lots of new faces (including my own) and there were 40 photographers in attendance! A wealth of knowledge and energy abounded and it was great fun.

Studio Blue is branching out to form 3 sub companies! It's such an exciting time for us as we prepare for this new idea. I've been working on designing websites to incorporate this new transition yet unified theme. Our sectors will include individual names for each facet of our photography and a whole new wedding website which will knock your socks off! We are incorporating flash which is really kicking my butt! I've been spending day and night trying to learn it and develop the new site based on its applications. A crazy endeavor that has really got me absorbed. We will be introducing an entire new wedding photography concept based on the past 5 years of feedback from our 150+ wedding couples! We have listened, improved, and redesigned our service to keep what you already liked and incorporate new services and ideas of the things you asked for. Such an exciting time! We'll keep you updated once the site is fully launched!

This past weekend we also had a fun birthday party. For those who read my previous blog entry, my daughter Ella turned ONE on Thursday. Her festivities were this weekend and we had about 35 people at our home to celebrate. It was so fun and she LOVED her cake and the company. Thank you to everyone for your kind words and wishes.

The 2009 wedding season is booking up very rapidly! With already 7 weddings booked for 2009, that is our highest record for numbers of weddings booked during the winter season for the NEXT year! With these numbers, we are so excited to see what fun 2009 will bring us! To all of our wedding couples, Thank You for supporting our art and we are sooo excited to have the opportunity to work with all of you! Thank you thank you thank you!
