News | A few changes and a sale!

Yes, that's right ... a sale!  Just in time for the holidays.  Most of my Bliss clients know that I don't have many sales, if any, but choose to keep my prices reasonable instead.  So what inspired me to have one?  Well, maybe a little something that I ordered for myself last week and I had to spread the joy!

This is a 20 x 30 printed on Fine Art Canvas.  I added the wording to the image in PS.

So starting today and going through MIDNIGHT on Wednesday, all canvases will be 20% off!  Canvases start at $125 for an 8 x 10 and are printed on Fine Art or Metallic canvas.  A full price list can be found on the main website under the tab "prints" and scroll down.  They are ready to hang and are a perfect way to show off your favorite images.  Anyone who's ever been to my home knows that my walls are covered with them!

Again, you have until midnight Wednesday, December 9th.  All orders and questions should be sent directly to bliss.photography@live.com.

Other news ... a few of you have asked "what is going on with your blog? We miss your blogging!" Simply put,  I am getting a new, interactive and easier to use blog and my designers are working hard to get it designed (I'm a little picky, imagine that!) and up and running for me soon.  In the meantime, I don't want to lose any work or posts, so I am not blogging as often as I would this time of year.  So I appreciate your patience and loyalty!

Sneek Peek | So much to blog ...

so little time!  So many great sessions just in time for the holidays, an amazing fall wedding and engagement season and an abundance of rockin' seniors.  Peeks are just around the corner, I promise.

Love Shoot | Jordan and Erica

Love is sweet, and here is proof.  Jordan and Erica are getting married next May and after spending a few hours shooting their Love Shoot in downtown Rochester, I am convinced that their love is made of pure sugar!  Ok, seriously, I am really excited to shoot their May wedding.  I love listening to all the little details that Erica has shared with me about their big day and it is sure to be beautiful and perfect in so many ways.

After a little rain delay and sneaking around Meadowbrook, we managed to get some great shots and even a little ray of sunshine in the end.   Again, more proof that love is sweet and here's a little peek.  

Weddings| Brian + Sarah

Lordy, lordy I am behind on blogging!  But that's ok, I'm going to get caught up starting with Brian and Sarah's beautiful wedding back in September.  I'll admit, I was little nervous about shooting their big day in the heart of the University of Michigan's Student Union ... on a home football Saturday!  But the campus was a buzz and the weather was pure perfection.

Sarah and Brian opted to see eachother before exchanging vows, so we had some time to shoot in my favorite spot on campus, the Law Quad.  The light all day long was just delicious with a perfect September sunset.  They were married in the library and had their reception in the ballroom with floor-to-ceiling beautiful windows.  Sarah herself put all of the finishing touches on their big day and every little details was planned to perfection.

Sarah and Brian - I am so thankful that you chose me to share your wedding day.  I thank you for your patience with your peek and your galleries are just around the corner.  I want to wish both of you the very best as you begin your journey together as husband and wife!  Enjoy =)

 

 

 

My Life | A new chapter.

First let me say (aaaagain) that I'm sorry I've been neglecting my blog.  It's not that I don't have anything new to blog, (2 weddings, 4 sessions and a few personal items waiting in the wings!) but my life here at home is just now getting back to normalcy after a whirlwind few months campaigning for my husband's run in the race for Mayor here in Taylor.

I am so happy to report that he WON the election!!  And it still hasn't sunk in that I am a Mayor's wife.  And when someone asks me what it feels like to be a first lady, (which happens a billion times a day) only one word comes to mind.  Wierd.  But wierd in a good way.  

Nothing is really going to change for us, we're not moving into a mayor's mansion, hiring bodyguards or anything silly like that.  But this is simply a new chapter for us, and gives us the opportunity to make our city a better place to live for everyone.  I have never been more proud of my husband, Jeff.  I always knew he was an amazing man, and now 70,000 people will know it too.

I had my camera with me throughout the day and took a few shots here and there.  This one was my favorite. Next to Jeff is our friend, Rocky and he was truly the rock behind Jeff's campaign.  This was shot about 20 minutes after the polls closed and after about 20/30 polls reporting, Jeff was up 800 votes.  Incredible.
