Just some random stuff to share today---a bit of this and a bit of that!
1. SITES UPDATED. Yes! We've updated our sites for the new year. Check out www.terifode.com. The splash page is new, the Main Site has had a make-over with a new opening slideshow and new photos in galleries and in all menus...the Wedding/Engagement Site is NEW NEW NEW (!!!), and the Commercial Site is so so so so close to going live! Watch for new updates on the Senior Site coming soon soon soon! It's a FRESH new year and we felt like a FRESH new updated look :) I love the fresh-start feel of a fresh new year! So much in store for this year---stay tuned!
2. CONGRATULATIONS are in order for Mark and Gina---I was right. IT'S A GIRL! Can't wait for the newborn baby session coming up soon! Mommy is posted below, next to the last photo. Pink pink pink! Love girlie colors and girlie baby things. (But then, I love boy colors and boy baby things too. Babies babies babies!)
3. THANK YOU and update: to the overwhelming response to the 2008 workshop later in the year...I'm still getting emails weekly and will have to regroup with the larger-than-expected reponse. (For pros only---outside of a 200 mile radius of Sacramento---basics in my post processing, direct sun-lighting techniques and available lighting techniques, modeling and on-location shoots, building a successful photography business. This is NOT a studio lighting class or how-to-use-your camera class). For those that are double-emailing making sure we have your name on the email list, please be assured that if you have received a reponse from our business email saying "Thank you we will respond soon", you are on the list. Info to go out to our mailing list with details in the spring. THANKS AGAIN!
ETA 1/15/07: SINCE POSTING THIS POST, I'VE BEEN RECEIVING EMAILS THROUGH THE EMAIL BUTTON ABOVE FOR THE WORKSHOP --WHICH IS FINE---BUT IF YOU SEE THIS NOTE THAT IS BEING ADDED, PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING EMAIL INSTEAD: info @ terifode.com (please note: spaces added to the email to prevent spam! Please remove the spaces!) and put "2008 Workshop" in the subject line.
4. INSPIRATION: I get a ton of emails with people/photographers/clients asking me what "inspires me" in my work. I will have to say, first and foremost, my faith and relationship with God. Then, MUSIC! I love music...love listening to it while I'm in post-processing production at the computer. I listen to it in my car on the way to a session. Music sets my mood for a particular type of session I'm doing! I listen to contemporary Christian music, but also love "music that sets a mood" like instrumental music or the music on the website of Jesh Derox (great music to listen to when processing engagement photos!) www.jeshderox.com. Also, colors and textures inspire me in ANYthing like magazines, life, Pottery Barn and Anthropologie (just walking through their stores inspires me---the colors and textures make my head spin).
5. PRETTY FACES. And finally, some pretty faces of some pretty women I've been photographing lately. And a fun girly-picture to start:
Have a great weekend!
What pretty women! I emailed you a while back about the workshop but am emailing again because I didn't get the response you mentioned. Sorry if it's a double but I really want to make sure I'm on the mailing list for the info! Thanks so much for your inspiration! -P

Great pictures. Will your workshop give details on how you started your business and how to market? Would love to go but need to know the dates.
