We were invited to participate in a bridal show at The Cotillion in Blue Springs this past Sunday. It was a great reason to stay indoors and beat the heat. All the vendors did such a great job presenting and providing good food samples. There was also a nice runway show of bridal dresses we had fun photographing as well. Enjoy the images in the gallery below.
We are really starting to feel good about the new place. Drywall is finishing up and the ambient light inside is incredible.
Drywall installation is getting finished!
Today is St Patricks day and with the green came our blue building permit. We have enjoyed planning with Bert from Costa Corporation and Jim will Sullivan/Palmer architects.
Let the hammers fly!
Last Sunday was the Bridal Show at Arrowhead Stadium, and we were excited to be a part of it. The bridal shows in Kansas City are a great opportunity for engaged couples to meet with local vendors who provide services and advice for the bride and groom. They are also a great opportunity for businesses to showcase what they have to offer, and talk with couples about how they can help them out on their big day. Those who came out got a chance to check out the newly renovated facilities at Arrowhead Stadium while talking with the different vendors. There were many great vendors, here is a small list of a few that participated:
Above and Beyond Weddings
Andrea K Grist Floral Design
Freeland Photography
Bridal Extraordinaire
Brancato’s Robinson Catering
Jeff Stultz
Steve Sanders
DJ Kirby
Cara Sue Hall makeup and hair
J&J Design
Celebration Party Rentals
M2 Makeup
Freeland Photography’s display was a hit! Visitors had a great time talking with our staff and checking out our newly renovated Photobooth and taking home a souvenir photo strip. We had a sample guest book available for clients to view and sign. The duplicate strips our photobooth outputs provide a copy for the bride and groom’s guest book as well as a fun memento that guests can take home.
After hitting up the photobooth, guests browsed our wide selection of wedding albums, checked out our canvas wrapped wall portraits, and were able to view some of our favorite wedding and engagement shots that were displayed in HD via Blu-Ray Disc. Aside from our products that help you to preserve and display your favorite moments from your wedding day, we also had our staff on site to answer questions for the guests of the show. It was a good time meeting the brides-to-be and having the opportunity to chat with them. If you were unable to make it out to the show, we offer free consultations in our studio and gallery. We can sit down and answer questions about our services or book your wedding or portrait session. You can call us, reach us on our website, or check us out on Facebook. We look forward to hearing from you!
With the new studio we have some cool new equipment in the budget. We will have our new studio Canon 5DmII setup with a WiFi grip sending images directly to our server. Another cool process we were testing today was shooting remotely using the studio’s iPad. Mike and Tiffany can use their iPhones too with the same application. The coolest part of this app, aside from controlling the shutter and settings is being able to preview the images taken immediately. With pinch-to-zoom we can show our clients how crisp these images are before we even get to showing them on a computer. Our TV’s around the studio will also have Google TV boxes so we can browse our file server through out the entire building. At our retouching station, in the office, in the conference room, or walking around with the iPad. It is a cool time to work in the digital arts!
In our business it is important to have quality media for our files. We make sure our backup servers are top notch, and we also make sure your images are backed up to high quality DVDs for off site storage. These spindles of discs we special ordered are better than anything you can find in retail stores. We know cheaper brands don’t fail often, however we want to eliminate any chances we can when it comes to saving your memories.
This is our new file server. We have thousands of client files and needed to expand for 2011. Our Raid 5 setup gives us great performance while maintaining reliability.
These are not much different than our original sketches.
Here is the front of our new building. Our sign should fit in well color wise.
This is currently our mobile office. iPad using tethered 3G service will get our project task list updated and brain storming sessions documented while on location.
The roof leaks. One week in we now get all the ‘fun’ that comes with ownership. Better get on that roof treatment fast.
We have a nice area that we will be utilizing for storage, maybe a few years from now we can build Studio 2.
