My Blog's New Look

Since the new website launched last month, I figured it was about time to give the blog a new look, too. I love the new header and background, but my favorite part is that the photos will now be bigger.

Here's a wedding dress detail shot as an example:



Don't forget, engagement session photo contest entries are due my midnight on Tuesday. Have a great weekend!

Abstract Photos

I always love going out and discovering new places to shoot photo sessions. This afternoon while I was scouting out new locations, I took the opportunity to take some cool photos. It is always great to shoot just for fun- it really gets me thinking creatively. Enjoy!






Also, I just wanted to remind everyone, there is only one week left to enter the Valentine's Day photo contest. I have been enjoying all the entries I have received so far and I can't wait to see what else comes it!

Win a Free Engagement Session | Fun Photo Contest

Send in a crazy, fun photo of you and your fiancé and you could win a free engagement session!

Whenever I have a free weekend, I love to get outside, explore and have some spontaneous fun! This past Saturday, Mark and I headed out to some parks we had never been to before. We had fun playing on the playground and watching all the dogs run around while snapping funny photos of each other.

Here’s a funny one Mark took of me:



I love goofy photos, and it gave me an idea for a fun contest. This year for Valentine’s Day True Expression Photography is giving away a free engagement session and photo guestbook to one lucky couple.

The contest is simple. Sent me a fun photo of you and your fiancé. I will post my favorite entries on my blog on Valentine’s Day and blog readers will vote on their favorite photo. Photos should be fun and creative and will be judged on how well they show your personalities- not on photographic quality.

Entries must be received by February 10, 2009.

How to Enter
Send the following information to info@trueexpressionphoto.com:
1. Fun photo of you and your fiancé
2. Names of you and your fiancé
3. Your Wedding Date
Entries must be received by midnight EST on February 10, 2009.

The Winning Couple Will Receive:
1. A fun engagement session photo shoot in multiple locations in the Atlanta area
2. A custom photo guestbook filled with photos from the engagement session

Get those entries in! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
