Updates and Miss IVY!

Hello all! We are back. I have posted a few blogs, but because of the busy spring we had and a EXTREMELY busy fall coming up, we took some time off to relax and get some things done around the house! As some of you know, we are expecting baby #3 mid October (Our 2nd Girl - Sawyer Reece)! So with playing musical rooms and setting all of them up, plus decorating a baby room and remodeling a bathroom, we needed some time off! Once the baby room and bath room is all complete I will post some pictures of the finished product. I have spent some time on finding the right color scheme for this room, since my 4yr old daughter and her new sister will be sharing a room. It will be stunning!

With that said, I have finally chosen my 2010 Senior Ambassadors. We have grown so much in this area of photography that I am looking to have even a better year then last. I have lots planned for these guys and I believe I have a great group to help push me further in the photography business. Here in the next couple of weeks, my senior site will be up and down and you will see some changes. So don't get freaked out when I have weird colors popping up all over. I thought it was time for an update and I needed to add some new photos! The Krystal Image site will also go through few changes and updates, but a little later this fall. Also, I will be in the process of having a new blog designed and hope to have that finished early fall. So look for some changes, but some great changes!

With all this said, I will now get to Miss Ivy! She just graduated college in May. She was one of my husband students and is extremely talented. So talented that she is leaving for California to start her career. Her agent (Who represents Rene Zellweger) told her to get some head shots done ASAP! So she gave us a call! (Now I'll throw in a little back story - Chad (my hubby) is extremely talented. He can paint, draw, create anything you can think of and of course is a marketing GENIUS! He teaches Sport and Entertainment Marketing/Management at Northwood University and runs that department. We often throw ideas back and forth to each other and come up with some new CREATIVE ideas for our business. Since I can't draw, I scribble my marketing ideas to paper and then he cleans it up to look like a masterpiece. LOVE IT! Anyway, he has been wanting to learn to shoot and has spent some of his summer doing just that. IVY was his first shoot on someone other than the kids. He has the eye, just needed to learn the equipment. These were important head shots, so he had NO pressure. (Sarcasm inserted here!) He did great. A few things to change, but overall did a great job. I did the post processing on these. We haven't got to that part of the learning yet! I take no credit in the pictures you will see. It was all him and he did great! End Back Story) Ivy is getting ready to head to California with some great Head shots to show off! Have fun and GOOD LUCK!

Now for Pictures!
