my new favorite things from Z GALLERIE

I'm almost finished with decorating my new studio...images will come soon! My new branding is black and white stripe...and I'm loving the collection from Z GALLERIE right now! The cabana is divine...don't have room for that in the studio but it sure would look cute in my backyard. 

The Prairie Sweet Sale...

Our friends at the Prairie Sweet Boutique just sent this over...and it ends today so hurry! They have released their newest line, The Sunshine Collection, and it's 50% off right now (but ends tonight).
We love these sweet designs! 

How do you deliver digital files?

One of the treats in the Savvy Swag Bags from the workshop was a custom USB drive for all the girls with the Savvy Workshop logo...it turned out so cute! (see pictures below)

We loved working with the company that made these...USBMemoryDirect.com. If you offer digital files, these are a great way to deliver them to your clients. 

*USB Memory Direct is offering all the Savvy readers free packaging with their order of drives! This special last one from today (ends May 2nd, 2013). Once you place your order,  just mention The Savvy Photographer promotion and their representatives will include printed packaging at no extra charge on your order! Click here for an example of their packaging.

Prayers for our Savvy Sister

I'm here today to ask for prayers...
Prayers for our sweet friend who was just diagnosed with cancer. 

She is a Savvy sister...a fellow photographer...and an expectant mom carrying her first baby...due September 15th. She just turned 26.
Please pray for her as she travels this painful road. 

Please, please pray for her, her husband and her baby as they face this challenge. 

We love you Lindsey! You've got 30 Savvy Sisters that will not let you face this alone!

Studio tour from Brooke Ringdahl

yep...I'm back...life has been busy lately and I had to put blogging on the back burner for a bit...but I'm back! And I'm so excited to kick off with a studio tour! These are my favorite blog post...I think many of you love the studio tours...and you'll love this charming space! 

Take a peek at the studio of Brooke Ringdahl Photography.

"Hello.  My name is Brooke.  I am a photographer, a mom, a wife and a lover of life.  I am a self-proclaimed tea addict; a vintage prop junkie and I love playing with babies. 

This is my home away from home.   The moment I walked into this space I knew it would become my studio.   I had already envisioned the walls a fresh white paired with a subtle grey brick and concrete floor.  I have ever-changing backgrounds and props in my humble little studio to keep things fresh and new.  

I share a beautiful historic warehouse with many artists ranging from painters to woodworking to screen-printers.  There is even a collector of all things bikes, which is quite a site to see.   Being surrounded by other creatives really fuels my creativity in a whole different way.

Overall, this is my happy place.  Welcome." 

Thank you Brooke! What a lovely space!!

Brooke is also a Savvy Sister and wrote a wonderful blog post about her time at the February 2013 Savvy Workshop...you can read it here. 

Savvy Workshop 2013...Instagram Pics

The Savvy Workshop was one month ago...and I'm still dragging my feet showing all the great pictures from those wonderful four days. Why, I wonder? Maybe I'm sad it's over...and looking at the pics make me want to be back there...hanging out with so many great girls! I loved every minute of my time there! I have so much to share...and never enough time to sit down to write about it. 

I did want to share a fun Instagram Collage created by our sweet savvy speaker, Laura Winslow! We love her...truly love this girl! She brings laughter to any room...and warmth with her sweet personality. She wrote a wonderful blog post about her time in Alys Beach...check it out here and here (yep, she did two blog post already...I'm feeling like such a slacker).

Enjoy the pictures...and also this Monday morning! I'm off to the new studio...which is almost ready...ekk! So excited!!
