What is SHOWIT?

For those of you following me on facebook you may have heard of me raving about how amazing SHOWIT is. But what is SHOWIT?

It is a photographers dream.

Basically, instead of needing to hire a website designer every time I need to add or change something on my website, I can do it myself! It’s a fully customizable software program that gives me the freedom to keep my site up to date, ad notes when I’m out of town, list a 2 hour special, or whatever. I don’t need to know html, I design it and the software takes care of the details. It’s brilliant!

But the REAL reason that I love SHOWIT is the community. SHOWIT has a live web-cast everyday, tips, tricks, and nonsense. The people who attend the live chat are amazing. So supportive, and lovely. It’s a place where we can talk shop, ask questions and get help. It’s also a place to meet friends! I’ve made a new great friend here in Fargo who also uses showit. It’s kind of like e-harmony for photographers.:)

So thanks SHOWIT, you have not only changed my business, helping me to grow and expand, but you’ve given me new friends too. Who knew software could be so cool!

A New Addition | Wedding photography- Fargo

It seems everywhere you look the tabloids, newspapers, and online sites are posting about new additions to celebrity families. It got me thinking about what they would write about my newest addition: a lens. ;) 

 The following is a sarcastic, fictional look at what tabloids would write about my latest:

Ellie | Baby photography at the Plains Art Museum | Fargo

With our basement situation I haven’t had a space to do indoor photos this winter. So when Ellie’s mom called and wanted 9 month photos I was pretty disappointed. I’d already taken photos of Ellie twice, once in a wedding, and once for family photos. She’s such a sweetheart! Babies aren’t my normal thing, but I knew she would be really fun. So I called the Plains Art Museum and we rented out the top floor for an hour. (Unfortunately as of Feb. they are raising their prices to a level that I probably won’t be able to use them again … so if you know of any similar place please let me know!!!)

 Isn’t she a cutie!!!

White-out-world

I just got back from visiting the wonderful couple who set my feet on this amazing photography journey! They live out in the country, which makes for very relaxing visits as I have to totally unplug from work, internet and life!

The day I drove up there the sky was white, the fields were white.

 Sky kissing fields, or perhaps fields kissing sky. It’s hard to tell where one meets the other.

  

Even though it was not blizzarding I could see how pioneers easily got lost! When they arrived here there were no trees or roads, only vast prairies. No wonder people simply lost their way. This country is still pretty wild even with the trees planted!

Perhaps living in the white-out-world of Fargo ND  is one of the main reasons I am obsessed with color in my wedding photography! Well, not just wedding photography, our new basement is lime green, yellow and teal. Vibrant. Feeding our eyes the colors of summer. Blue skies, green grass, warm sun. Yes, these things will return.
