New York City Photo Shoot Fresh

by

 

I’ve always wanted to have a photo shoot in New York City.

The Big Apple is a creative’s paradise as it thrives on the heartbeats of its inhabitants. These vibes act as synergy that mixes with the bright lights, big city theme. Chip Dizárd, epic photographer and image catalyst took on the challenge of shooting me with his lens.

We are talking Bucket List ish here. I’ve wanted to work with Chip for years, so our universes aligned and we made it happen. The result was a match for the blogging masses.

Chip and his assistant Candace Howe got me all together, honey. They helped loosen me up, played music that I could vibe to to get the right shot, and were consummate professionals throughout the process.

I’ve had many a photoshoot, but this one was gold star material, all the way.

Do It Yourself Holiday Cards: Say It With a Picture!

by

Today, my daughter was out of school due to a teacher’s in-service day. So I thought we would head to Creve Coeur Park and take some shots with my digital camera for our holiday cards which I send out every year. The best part about these cards is I always feature a photo or two on the card, and my family and friends love them. They have become a time honored tradition in my family.

This year, I decided to feature The Chicklet again, since she’s the one most of our relatives want to see anyway. And because she is the baby of the family, I am okay with that.

All you need to create some precious holiday cards is a digital camera, a great location or backdrop, and fun. Everything else seems to work itself out. I haven’t spent any money on a traditional Christmas or holiday photo shoot in years. And with digital cameras and tripods, you really don’t have to anymore.

I took about 75 pictures today of The Chicklet, and these are a few of the photos that I liked but didn’t make the cut:

I’ve uploaded 2 of the pictures I liked the best to Pear Tree Greetings, which is what I will be using to create our holiday cards this year. I used them last year, and they turned out well. They have 100’s of templates and designs to choose from, so I know I will be in good hands again this year. You can check out this post on TheCubicleChick.com to see last year’s holiday card and to get a list of other online sites that you can use to create your holiday card.
