Back-Up Weddining Photographer Services Available...

The Transferring of the Portfolio

The new computer has been purchased and is up & running (luv it!). Now...I have the long road ahead of me to re-install all my graphic design software and move my portfolio pictures over. Thank God for external hard drives for storage and back-up or I would have lost everything.

We live in an age where only a small percentage of images ever make it to print (whether for personal or business use). We are going to be the generation of lost images...photo albums are ceasing to exist. If you love your pictures...print them. At the rate our technology changes, the CDs you have them stored on will become obsolete and the images will be lost. Your children will lose their childhood...please don't forget to print. I am extremely earth friendly but this is one area where I think that printing is acceptable.

Hoping to have some old galleries posted soon...and will definitely keep the information coming. Thanks to my followers for your support and encouragement.

New Computer Option...Thinkin Hard About This One

It's just sooo cute. And...it'll go beyond my photography and graphic design needs. I'm a realist...I know I'm giving up versitility, speed, and the Mac name. But...sometimes you just have to say what the heck. This weekend...I think I'll buy it this weekend. Yahoo...

Do you know that it has a recipe file, has a BlueRay DVD, is Netflix ready...and most importantly, is EnergyStar rated!

New Camera Accessories...always fun & inspiring!

These arrived today from My Funky Camera...Luv them!!!

Also got a Brown with Pink & Yellow flowers strap (two cameras; two straps). Have to treat yourself to something nice every now and then!

Now...look above to see my new computer option. I know...it's silly. What type of photographer & graphic designer uses a touch-screen, HP computer. But it's just so cute. Better than the one that I have that's limping along with more trojan virsus than one could imagine.

Intimates by Image Peddler

(Images property of TrueBlue Photography...for reference only).

My photography passion has motivated me to expand my services to "Intimate" or "Boudior" photography. Every day we meet and interact with real women. As a matter of fact, the first one that most of us see every day is ourselves staring back from the mirror as we are getting ready for the day (with real curves and real worries about my not-so-perfect body). We’ve had babies, carry a few extra pounds, have stretch marks and other things that make us self conscious about our bodies. We’re constantly exposed to images of "perfect" bodies averaging a size 0, yet the average American woman is a size 14 (I've never had more success photographing a size 0 than a size 14...guaranteed!). No wonder we have body issues. But that doesn't mean we're not sexy and our assets not appreciated by our admirers...

My dream is to expand my services to include photographing real women in a tasteful, sexy and flattering way; women who have quit worrying about those extra pounds and have embraced who they are in all their glory. I think you’ll be surprised at how gorgeous you really look when given the opportunity to see yourself through my camera lens.

With all of this in mind, I’m really excited to pursue my dream of "Intimate" or "Boudior" photography. If you’re a real woman, remember that you’re gorgeous no matter what your shape and size. After all, it’s not our dress size that defines us as women. A confident woman is sexy at any size! I will continue to post further information as I more concretely define this new business venture. If the studio option that I have mentioned previously comes to fruition, this is a definite new chapter to my life!

The images above are samples from one of my favorite "Intimate" websites (these are not my images) to show what I'm hoping to add...enjoy! More information to follow...but visit True Blue Photography if you want to view where I'm going with this new chapter (Link included within my Favorites).

Image Peddler Photography...Coming Soon

After a thrilling offer from a friend and fellow photographer to reinvent my business...I'm back up and running. In the very near future, I'm hoping to announce information regarding my new studio space in Victoria, expanding my business from on-location to having a studio option as well.

my style...My style of photography is natural & unposed. I work using available light, either on location, within the studio, or in the comfort of your home. I want your child to be in an environment where they are relaxed, and so are you!

options...I present images of all styles: color, black & white, sepia, midnight sepia. Please mention your preferences when we schedule your session.

creative services...I also provide creative services to customize your images via storyboards, birth announcements, holiday cards, graduation announcements, etc. The options are endless...and we can work together to identify a creative style that works with your home interior and preferencs if the photography will be displayed as art.

Thank you for your interest in Image Peddler Photography. Feel free to review my galleries at http://www.imagepeddler.smugmug.com/. Please contact me with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
