If you are in a 60 mile radius of the “Burg” then keep your eyes peeled for the Fall/Winter Soiree Magazine to drop in September. We made the plunge and purchased a full page ad because money is no option for us. I wipe my butt with 100 dollar bills regularly. Nothing like a crisp 100 across the tailpipe! Don’t I wish….about money being no option not wiping my butt with a tiny slice of paper with ink on it.
Here is our lovely ad in all of it’s glory. Ryan and I nearly get a divorce (kidding) when we have to come up with an ad. Can I tell you how hard it is to find ONE picture that encompasses your style for your ENTIRE business? So we hemmed and hawed and pleaded our case for this picture and that when a big giant lightbulb went off in my head…”Dummies…use lots of photos…not in the college dorm room, decorate your door with a mess of pictures sort of way….classy, separated, bold….”
I am not sure why Flickr likes to mess with my head because I can promise you we did not use 80’s neon green for our ad. I know it has some technological reason with the whole internet only reading certain colors ( I do semi-listen Ryan). It just makes me mad. I also have to tell you, I was at my parents last week and pulled our Kellan site up and was shocked. I mean my parents have a decent laptop…but our site looked so dull and dark. Is this how you guys see photos on the internet? Are Mac screens calibrated that much better? I was so sad that many of you are looking at our photos thinking “those are okay…but kinda lifeless”…..so sad. I wish you could see them in all their colorful glory on the mothership computer! You must be blowing some serious smoke up our butts that you like our pictures if you have an old computer monitor…LIARS!!!!! You should run…not walk…and drop a wad on a good monitor for the sheer pleasure of experiencing the internet’s buffet of color and of course to keep up with our latest work. Too obnoxious? Sorry. Dial it down Kelly.
I have a post written in my head with tons of pictures from my time in Richmond…but unfortunately, we have shot two nights this week and leave for VA Beach to shoot a wedding tomorrow. GULP…my first wedding back since December. I don’t know if my feet and back are ready to take the plunge again. Wish me luck. I will also be meeting up with a fellow blog friend of two years, O Mama Mia…better known as Jess to the real world. We are having breakfast and will swap labor stories and I am sure laugh as much in person as we do over email. Can’t wait Jess!
So that is your carrot to keep reading….I will check in next week if I can stand upright.
I actually like the green
Have fun this weekend.
love love LOVE the ad!! It looks great!! I love the idea of multiple photos - it looks really classy and a great idea for a full page ad.
Good luck this weekend at the wedding!
Love you,girl. Have a great trip!
So.
I looked at our picture blog again on Brett’s mac instead of my PC and it’s a whole new world of color and crispness and overall amazing-ness.
Which means that I actually love the pictures more now than I did at first… and I loved them alot at first.
Ooh and I have our new address… I’ll e-mail it to you now…
It looks fantastic-great job! So does this mean if I find a mac to look at your pictures, I will be even more impressed!?
Wow
The ad looks awesome. You guys are so talented!
The page looks amazing!
Love the ad. I REALLY pray it gets you lots and lots of business.
I see your site on our glorious HUGE MAC screen, so it always comes up pretty.
I actually think the green looks groovy. One of my fav colors and it “goes” with the elements in the photos. Either way, its a great ad and it should draw lots of business for you!
It’s awesome!!!
I don’t have a mac but your site looks good from here!
Have fun shooting your first wedding back!
that’s a great ad… good idea to include a variety. hopefully this will bring ryan that much closer to quitting his day job! when are you going to start advertising in other cities??
