Yes!  Yes!  We are here.  Thanks to all of you who are asking if all is well with us here at Appointed design.  We are keeping busy with year end things as well as new year starts.  We will be back in the saddle before long – I promise! 🙂 

 

Here are a few custom design THG Photography highlights from the year…… Oh how to pick faves??

 

 

Lets start with some collages.  Oh how larger blog images would be nice… hum, something for the new year perhaps! ;0)

Mini Session

•December 17, 2008 • 1 Comment

Today we got a family mini session done by THG photography.  I was in love with Janet’s work the minute I open these babies up.  A gorgeous family (with 5 kids no doubt) done in an urban setting.  The goal – a “different” Christmas card.  They are all layered in textures (most are warmer)… I mean come on, what do expect from Janet.  Take a peek at some of our faves and see what we came up with.

Notice the twin with his little blazer and his hand in his pocket – he’s already working it at his young age. 🙂

Go Janet!  A family of 7 all in the middle of a street in between traffic.

I know, I know… we’ve been away, but we’ve really enjoyed time with family!  We’ve got some jobs waiting to be posted but for today we’ve got just one.  It’s a good one!!  This shoot comes by way of Shawna Schaub the outstanding design photographer!  Shawna first shared this shoot with me on the phone before I ever got to see any images.  The lighting was a bit of a challenge that day along with a few other things so I was not sure what to expect.  Shawna has a very particular style that she is becoming well know for …. and she sets her bar high so as to give her clients the very best in images as well as products.  Well, oh my did these images ever turn out awesome!  Her client had gorgeous creamy color skin and perfect “popping” eyes.  Her cheeks just glow in so many images!  I can’t help but love those close ups!  Lets peek at Shawna’s clean look….
