Okay, New Years Resolution #1…must blog more often!  We have been SUPER busy with weddings, portraits, holiday cards, etc, etc, etc!  We are SUPER excited to be getting CLOSER to moving into our new studio!  This has been quite the adventure….but it is going to be AWESOME!  We are already booking sessions in the new place starting in February.  We are looking for some High School Seniors!  If you know anyone, send them our way!  We need some models  : )Happy New Year…we know 2009 is going to be AWESOME! 

Meet Holly and Brent!  Their wedding is getting SOOOO close and we can’t wait!  Here are a few of our favorites from their recent engagements….stay tuned for some AWESOME bridals of Holly!

Well….we didn’t BUT we have been SUPER busy!  So I’m going to post a few pics…..just to make you smile!  Say Hi to Whitney and Nathan!  These two are SOOO cute.  They both went to Baylor and live in D/FW now.  Whitney was Maid of Honor in one of our weddings last year….and yes, she caught the bouquet!  Obviously!

We were honored to be photographed by John Michael Cooper of Alt F Photography.  He is incredible!  Here is the picture he took of our family for his “Roadside Portraits - Pay It Forward” Campaign.  I stole this from his blog!!!  Be sure to check out his blog for some funny images and video from their road trip/very Alt F Tour across the country.  You might even see Mike and I in action in a few!  Edward will be posting some images he took of our session with John soon! 

On Thursday, Mike and ReJana were able to attend the Very Alt F Tour in Dallas.  We had a great time meeting some photographers we had never met and learning some new tricks from the one and only…..John Michael Cooper and Dalisa Cooper.  John is the photographer who started the whole “trash the dress” idea many years ago.  However, his sessions are called “Anti-Bridals.”  Check out his site for some awesome work.  www.altf.com.  Here are a few of our images from the seminar.  You’ll even see him at work!Check back in a few days as we were also chosen to participate in his Pay It Forward Campaign which is where he is photographing about 30 families across the US (other photographers family) in a pay if forward.  We can’t wait to see our family portrait!

P.S.  Some of you might recognize Kelly Espinoza - one of our favorite makeup and hair artists from Haute Facade and her husband Joseph.  You may also recognize our “bride” Kate….another photographer from the Dallas area.

Our family (Mike, ReJana and Macie) was chosen to participate in a pay it forward by being photographed by an awesome photographer name John Michael Cooper.  You can check out his work at www.altf.com.  We are very honored and can’t wait for our session next week.  The theme is “Roadside Family Portraits.”  The idea is for a photographer to shoot another photographers family and then for that photographer to do the same for another photographers family and so on…..if it all goes according to plan, in a year or so, another photographer should be taking our family photo again.  So, as part of our agreement, we are excited to offer the same session to another photographers family!  If you are a photographer (or if you know one and can pass this on) send us an email with 1.) why you would like to be photographed, 2.) who all is in your family, and 3.) when was the last time you had a family portrait made.  We can’t wait to hear your responses!  info@bludoorstudios.com We will post the results of our own session next week!!!   

We moved out of our old studio and into our new studio today!  It has been quite a process and we aren’t finished yet!  We are in the remodeling phase at the new place…..so it will be a few weeks until we are shooting in our studio again!  Our new address is 205 Miron Drive - Southlake, Texas 76092….in case you need to mail anything to us!  We will post some of the before and after pics soon!!!

Well actually, it’s her second!  We photographed her Mom while she was in her belly last year!  The photo with the hands is actually Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa.
