Kelly Gorney Photography | Meadville, Pennsylvania

This is not a new product for 2010, but it is one that I love and I am finally getting around to sharing photos.  This is the custom book.  It consists of 10 pages (20 sides) and it totally customizable.  The pages lay flat, too, which makes looking through it much more enjoyable.   It is offered in three sizes…5×5, 8×8 and 10×10 and can be purchased a la carte, although it is also offered in a couple of my collections.  Here are photos from one featuring one of my 2010 seniors.  This is a 10×10.  Isn’t it purrrrty????

As a side note, I recently sent out my first newsletter. I plan on sending them periodically just to keep everyone up to date on what is going on and inform clients on upcoming specials. If you are interested in being added to this list, please email me at kellygorneyphotography[at]gmail.com!

Today a photographer friend of mine, Amy of Amy Ro Photography, posted an awesome article on how to choose a good photographer.  I think she does a great job of explaining what it is people should look at when trying to find a good photographer.  So many people are unsure and just know they want some pictures to look back on and think “wow”.   She provides very good information and I just had to share it since it was so well done.  Thanks for the great read, Amy!

Check out Amy’s article!  Happy reading!!

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 have brand new music on my website and I {LOVE} it!!!!!  It’s by the fabulous Ingrid Michaelson and I highly recommend you check it out!!!!  Both my site and hers, that is.  I can’t get enough of it!

Happy Valentine’s Day to ME!!!!!!!!!!

(and just because it’s cute…)

Today, I got in the mail a pretty Pettiskirt that I had ordered a few weeks ago with a couple fellow photographers.  You would have thought it was Christmas, I was so excited. Haha!  Of course, the instant Tatum got up from her nap, I slipped it on her and grabbed a couple pics because it is oh-so-fun.  She just loves it, too.  She was twirling and jumping and just being goofy.  *LOVE*

So, now I have it as an option for anyone who is having pictures of their little girl done.

Keep that in mind, all you girl mommies ;-)

Isn’t he a cutie???

Love the goofy faces, too!!

Boys are so fun!!!!
