Bridal Show Booth, bring on 2011!

Here's a pic from my iphone of what our Evin Photography booth looked like at the Nashville Convention Center, Weddings the Bridal Show yesterday. There was a great turnout and our new brochures were a HUGE hit! We spoke to quite a few brides that are planning a 2011 wedding. Things book up fast so never too early to start! Thanks to all who stopped by! Hope to meet with some of you soon!

*Be sure to check back for our post on who one the drawing for a Free Evin Photography Engagement Photo session!*

And incase you are wondering why a professional photographer took her booth photo with an iphone (gasp) haha.... I wasn't too keen about bringing my new 5DmarkII to the show with all of the other booth equipment we had to keep up with. Too risky...so iphone it had to be :)

More Family Photos in the SNOW!

Ok....I ended up taking 675 photos of the family in the Ohio snow, so I had to do a second post to show you more :)

Photo Tip: When shooting in a snow shower, the further away you are from your subject the more flakes that will get in the way. The heavier the snow the closer you'll need to be.
Ex. The above photo was of more people so I had to stand further back, the snow was also coming down pretty hard so there were a lot of flakes in the way. But I still think we got some good shots :)

The Tools: I was shooting with a 70-200 lens on a Canon 5D...using the lens hood of course, don't want those pesky snow flakes on the lens!

Family Photos in the SNOW!

Last weekend we visited Luke's extended family in Ohio. While at his Uncle's cabin for a family party, the snow really started coming down. Sooo.... I grabbed Luke's siblings (my favorite models) and other relatives and ended up spending 3-4 hours shooting outside! I felt like I was doing a GAP photo shoot, haha :) I had a blast and I think the family did too. But I will have to say, next time I will pack warmer boots!

Frame Sale!

Several have asked me how I collected so many black frames for the photo collage in the stair way of our house...


Here's one way... There is a great deal running right now at Bed Bath and Beyond - (3) 8x10, (3) 5x7 and (4) 4x6 Frames for $19.99! Click the image and it'll link you to the website. The big ones are from various places, like World Market or Peir 1. Good luck! ..the garland comes separate :)

Merry Christmas from Evin Photography!
