Kelly Gorney Photography | Meadville, Pennsylvania Photographer

Last night, I had the pleasure of photographing a family…a family with 4, four-legged children!  Let me tell you…it was a blast!  Jenny (who is a knock-out!) owns  Head West Hair Saloon and is awesome  (you might remember, she is the one I went to for my Brazilian Blowout).  Everyone was SO well behaved and really put up with a lot.  They were such good “kids”!

Anyway, without further ado, here is the sneak peek!

Jenny & Billy…thank again!  It was so much fun!

This evening I had a fantastic engagement shoot with this awesome couple.  They are so in love and so much fun.  Oh, and did I mention how hot they are?  Seriously.  Look at them.  We had a fabulous time out on the boat and made a few stops along the way.  We managed to avoid any rain, too!  Score!

To Jesse & GW…thank you both so much for such a great time and for making my job easy ;-)  You are wonderful people!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Check out those cuff links.  She MADE those for him!  Rock on, girl!

It is a beautiful, sunny Saturday here!  What better to do on such a day than to share another product??  Okay, so there is a lot that I *could* be doing, but since my daughter was napping, I decided to take advantage of those quiet moments and grab a few shots of this fabulous session album.

It is a beautiful, 8×8 black leather album that holds 20 images.  I think it is best described in photo.  It’s gorgeous.  See for yourself!

So, there you have it.  The 8×8 Session Album.  Fab.

Have a very happy Saturday!

For this segment of “What To Wear”, I put together outfits that would be great for an urban “couples” shoot.  Kelly wanted a look that was very fashionable and also asked that I incorporate some winter-appropriate pieces into the look because unfortunately, it looks like winter isn’t letting up anytime soon.

You might as well cooperate with the cold if you want to get your photos taken now, as there are definitely ways to still look great in winter clothing!   I used neutrals for the majority of both outfits, while adding a pop of the same teal color in each outfit.  Generally, I think the woman gets more attention in pictures than the guy because a lot of time the women are more fun to look at – they usually have more interesting clothing!  So to put the guy and girl on an even playing field,  I picked teal as the accent color here because it is a really nice and unexpected color for the man – much more interesting than a navy or beige sweater.  I also found the perfect complement in a fierce shoe for the woman.  The idea is to give the outfit a ”classic” feel overall, but make sure it is vibrant and fun by adding details like the teal colored shoes and sweater.  Also, make sure to dress it up a little; you don’t want to look boring and drab in matching jeans and white button down shirts.  It’s okay to show off a little personality in your outfits, just try to stay away from really busy patterns or writing on your clothing – you want the attention to stay on your face – just use the clothing as a complement!

So, I am super excited about a new product that I am offering.  I saw them and just *had* to get one.  Okay, two.  They are METAL.  Yes, metal.  What is cooler than that??  Not much.  You should see these things…they are practically 3D.  They have shine and depth to them like nothing else.  The colors POP.  I seriously love them.  I have two on hand…an 8×10 and a 16×20.  The 8×10 would be perfect on a desk or in a locker.  The 16×20 would look fab on the wall.  Or on my desk, as it currently resides.  Haha!  I will also be offering an 11×14 size.

Here are photos of them, although the photos truly do not do it justice.  It must be seen to be appreciated.

The 16×20

The 8×10

As an intro special, I am offering these panels at 20% off for the rest of the month.  Yup, now through February 28th, if you place an order for any size urban panel (8×10, 11×14 and/or 16×20) you will get 20% off.

Happy Thursday!

I want to give a huge THANK YOU to all of my wonderful, beautiful clients for helping to make 2009 such an awesome year.  I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun I had and how much I enjoyed meeting each and every one of you.  It was a year full of smiles and laughs and for some reason a ton of rain, but we made it work.  It was truly a pleasure and I look forward to working with you all again.  I hope you and your families have a fantastic New Year!  Good bye, 2009.  Look out, 2010!!!!!!!

A few weeks back, my brother’s good friends got married.  I attended the wedding with my brother and my dad and, in typical Kelly fashion, just HAD to take a few pictures of the beautiful couple.   You may remember them from the engagement session I did back in July.

Congrats to Erica and Kelly!!  Their day was gorgeous!
