wanna buy 5 copies for my mother! | published

I have been waiting SO LONG to write this blog post! I teased a little bit on facebook here and there... not to be mean, but because I was SQUEALING on the inside and I really couldn't SAY what was going on......... until now! Friends... this may be one of my biggest accomplishments to date. I am extremely proud and excited to share with you that I had some of my work published in O Magazine. As in, The Oprah Magazine. Yes. I am still trying to process the whole thing myself... so, so surreal.

As I mentioned previously, I had the lovely opportunity to photograph Kim Sorenson from the Omniterrum located in downtown Lynchburg. She was a treat to photograph and her globes... oh the globes! Amazing collectibles... I am already intrigued enough by historical maps, but putting them on globes just makes the experience of traveling with your fingers so much more gratifying!

I posted about some of my pictures of Kim being published in the June issue of Bella Magazine. That was super exciting for me! But, when O magazine contacted me about using some of Kim's recent head shots for a feature they were doing on her, I was beyond thrilled and a little bit in shock. :) Not to mention SO excited for Kim as well!

Okay, so enough about my shock and awe... check out the evidence for yourself... and go find a copy to read the article about Kim!

I am honored to share that I have had some of my commercial work published in the June issue of Bella Magazine. Let me tell you, it is super fun to pick up a publication only to see your work gracing the pages of it! June was Bella's Travel issue and I had a really fun time both at the Royal Tea Party as well as working with Kim from the Omniterrum in downtown Lynchburg. Be sure to grab the latest issue of Bella before it is replaced by the July issue to see some of my commercial work and read the fun and informative articles about traveling around the world! And stay tuned for some August publication announcements coming up in mid-July. I am SO very excited about them! :)

New website! | Lynchburg Wedding Photographer

I have spent a bit of time here and there the past  few months working on moving my portfolio site from a flash-based site to a wordpress site. The biggest benefit to this is that now it can be viewed on mobile devices!

In addition to changing the format of the site, I spent some time adding a lot of information to the site that I hope will help educate prospective and current clients. Some of the new pages are:

  • Albums. Check out the types of albums I offer and the differences between them!
  • FAQ's. Now all the common questions are answered in one place with easy access for anyone who is curious. Find out my office hours, the type of equipment I use, and read a little more about what your experience with SLP will look like.
  • Liz's Equipment. I listed the equipment I use from camera and lens types to the kinds of bags I use to carry it all.
  • Pricing information. Even though I am no longer accepting clients for the 2011 year, the pricing information on my new site reflects wedding and portrait (a very limited number) openings for 2012.
  • New galleries. I have added a few new 2011 images to the galleries.

As always, I will continue to update the site with new images and information throughout the year. But if you have a minute, go check it all out now!

Changes | Business News

Like I mentioned earlier, changes are happening around here!

For a long time now I have been trying to think of ways I can streamline my business in order to offer exceptional customer service to my clients. As my wedding clients increase, I find myself needing to put something else in the backseat so that I can focus my attention on each couple that has invited me to be a part of their wedding day. The time has come for me to limit the number of portrait sessions I take on and I will officially begin this new chapter next month.

As of April 1, 2011 portrait sessions will be available to established clients only. (Past clients, clients who currently have scheduled sessions with me and any past, present and future wedding clients.)

Not an established client? Don't worry! You can reserve your spring or summer session by contacting me before next Friday. In addition, I will be offering a limited number of mini sessions during peak seasons that will be open to anyone.

To have the first chance to sign up for the limited mini sessions, join my mailing list now! I will be sending out a newsletter soon announcing the first mini session dates!
