Know a Gal Who's Getting Married?

Cyndee is currently taking applications for two Ashki Bridal REPS for open dates in the 2007 season. These Brides will receive 40% off any of our 8 hour wedding packages. They will also receive a high-fashion editorial Bridal Session where hip, urban images will be the goal. The bridal session will include 2-3 hours of photography with the bride 1-2 weeks before the wedding (careful consideration will be taken when deciding location and keeping the dress in perfect condition). In addition to the Bridal Session, the Bridal REP will also receive a brag book of the engagement session to share with friends and family as well as referral incentives for every BOOKED wedding. Contact Cyndee ASAP to fill out an application to be one of Ashki's 2007 "Bridal REPs".

Rob's Parents...

How in the world could I mention a GORGEOUS family without showing any photos of the handsome groom's parents??? What's gotten into me? Check back with Amber and Rob for the entire wedding slideshow password available in 2 weeks...

Amber & Rob's Sneak-Peek!

I see that a lot of you have been checking the blog religiously at the edge of your seat, waiting for Amber and Rob's wedding photos to pop up. Well, here they are! Aren't they just an absolutely GORGEOUS family??? I had the wonderful priviledge of photographing Amber and their son Jack a year ago. I was so honored when Amber asked me to photograph their wedding.

I love this!

I met Mary in Old Navy a few months ago (I think it was December?). I saw her daughter and thought, "Oh my! I need take photographs of her!" I gave Mary my card and she gave me a call a week or two later. She mentioned that she wanted Chloe's 6 month portraits taken. She received her photos this week and this is what she had to say...

"Cyndee,
I just got Chloe’s pictures and I am SO PLEASED! Thank you, and THANK YOU for the extras, I am taking them to the Y BBQ tonight to show them off and to praise you of course (I assume it is okay to pass along you info J). Thank you again for doing such a wonderful job.
Mary"

It's such a great feeling to bless people in this way! Here are some from our session...

Nick & Olivia's Sneak Peek!

I had the wonderful priviledge of photographing this lovely couple, Olivia and Nick. I will also be photographing their wedding on July 7th, 2007 (said to be the most popular wedding date ever). Enjoy the Sneak Peek!

I can't get enough of them!

I just had to post a few more shots of Gina's daughters. Her oldest is a fan of "America's Next Top Model" and certainly has gained some of her "looks" from the show! The youngest is such a natural in front of the camera :). Gina, Girl - you've got a couple of heart-breakers on your hands!

Session/Baby Specials Will End May 31st

The specials I am currently running (see the first post on this blog) will end as of the 31st of May, so be sure to contact me ASAP to take advantage of 50% off sitting fees and 40% off 16x20s and larger reprints.

Also, watch our for me in Boise's "Premier Bride" magazine. Their next book will come out in June and is available to any bride at no cost!

Sneak Peak for Gina!

Okay, interesting story about the woman whose family I photographed last evening...

Three years ago, I was getting married and decided that I would treat myself to a pedicure (the first one I'd ever had). I can't remember exactly how I found Gina, but find her I did and she was FANTASTIC! I had lost her information through these last three years, so I tried out a few more people who do this for a living, but I could NEVER find anyone who could compare to the quality pedicure that Gina gave me! Upon weeding through my wedding stuff, I found her prior number. Her previous salon graciously gave me her new number :). She is amazing at what she does and she makes you feel like a Princess. Don't you want to get your pedicure, now? To be pampered, schedule a pedicure with Gina (703.6818). She's amazing!!!

When I met up with her, she let me know that she needed a custom-photographer. How could I resist? Look at this beautiful family...can you believe this Mother/Daughter Team? Aren't they gorgeous? And Adam, the brother to Gina?...yes, Ladies, I do believe he's single :).

Here's the sneak-peak from last night's session. Enjoy!
