What’s Happening…

By Heather Rizzo on April 12, 2013 / Blog, Studio Happenings / 4 Comments

WOW! Friday already!? This week has just flown by. We have been so busy over here, today just snuck up on us… hence the tardiness of today’s post ! Oops… just a few hours behind. Good thing we have the weekend to play catch up!! One of the exciting things we have been busy with this week was yesterday’s Baby Fair. Tiffany and I were thrilled to set up a table and meet so many wonderful people. The Baby Fair was held at Lawrence OB/GYN and everyone there was absolutely wonderful. It was a great opportunity for us and we can’t wait to do it again!!! Here’s us rockin’ that Baby Fair with our adorable table and mega awesomeness… Before I go, I will give a little sneak peek of something we’ll be posting next week… Herman’s Hoedown. An amazing Yee-Haw worthy bachelorette party we threw for our bestest, Melissa… We turned that dude ranch upside down!

Today is the day! OMG!! I am so nervous and giddy I feel like I’m going to see New Kids on the Block…I’m ready to rock out some bangs and a side ponytail. I wonder if Joey McIntyre is still cute? Anyway TODAY I am going to theFix in New York City. I have been following Jasmine Star for 4 years and everyday her blog is like Calgon and takes me away. I really truly admire her, she’s not afraid to be herself, she’s not afraid to take risks, her photography style is stunning and she is just an amazing person. She’s who I want to be like when I grow up She has given me the courage to get into photographer, stick with it and to not give up on finding myself artistically. It’s funny when you follow other people’s blogs {{and I follow several}} how you form this

Guess who’s back…back again! Well it has been a long time since I have updated the blog. All I can say is December got the best of me! I had a very blessed Christmas and wonderful New Years and I hope you all had the same. I got sick towards the end of December and am finally recovering and feeling like myself again. It is time to get back to posting and caught up on all my Fall portrait sessions. I also get to go back to the gym this week and can’t wait, working out always helps my creative juices. I have so much going on at Appletini this year! I got big plans for this business of mine and I hope that you’ll come along for the ride! First thing up is I am redoing all of my packages, branding and product offering. During the Christmas season I

One of my daily reads is Click it up a Notch. She has a great feature on her blog called “What did you learn” where you can post an image, send her a link and ask her readers to critique you. So this post is really for that reason. Critique away… In this session I learned to slow down. I know that is so basic but when photographing kids it’s a hard balance to take the time and get the settings you want and to keep shooting and not miss anything. I sometimes struggle with “can I fix this later” but I am really working towards getting things right in camera. As soon as this adorable little girl hit the grown she started running. I arrived at the location early set my setting for the light and thought I was good to go but I also made the challenge
