Engagement: Beth and Geoff September 9, 2008

Beth and Geoff met as high school seniors. A time when a million decisions, plans and ideas abound — and for these two, that time included the first spark of true love. They met through friends, continued their friendship and began dating before they went off to college…both chose K-State.

She is a classical singer. He is a graphic designer. Together, they are one talented, artistic (and cute!) couple.

They wanted to do their shoot in downtown Kansas City, and I of course obliged. The result? An artistic, creative, urban vibe. I love it!

Beth and Geoff totally “got it.” Check out their strike-a-pose awesomeness. I LOVE these two photos!

Don’t you agree they are just too adorable together? :)

I also adore this shot of Beth (and Geoff)…she just has beautiful eyes! Check out that stare!

I love these book-shaped stairs at the library parking garage downtown. Being the book nerd that I am, I can’t believe I’ve never done photos here before… :)

Beth has a really great and unique engagement ring. We wanted to do some creative shots that really showcase the colors and design — I think we succeeded! This first one is my most favorite ring shot ever right now. And the second…so classic, yet so modern.

Beth and Geoff, thanks for trusting me to capture your special moments…I can’t wait for your wedding next May!

iPhone Obsession

I caved. Gave in. Joined the fun. Followed suit.

I purchased an iPhone.

Granted, I didn’t do it kicking and screaming by any means…nor did I have any reason to object.

It’s the best thing I’ve purchased all year.

I am so excited about how accessible this has made me to schedule appointments, communicate with clients, update my blog (cue the cheering!) and stay connected while I am away from my computer. Now, when you call to set up a consultation or reschedule your photo shoot due to rain, I’ll have my handy calendar right there! I am seriously more excited about the awesome calendar interface than anyone else on the planet. I’ve had the phone for several weeks now, and I am already hooked. This wonderful little piece of technology is helping me cross off #32: improve my calendar/schedule-making methods.

I also love having access to my e-mail, blog, website, etc. — what a handy marketing tool, right there in my purse! The iPod, photo storage, applications, e-mail, calendar and notes-taking capabilities are all pretty amazing. This is seriously one of the most innovative, well thought-out, intuitive, smart and beautiful pieces of technology I’ve seen.

iLove it. :)
