Happy Spring to Everyone!

Yeah! I thought it would never come, but today spring is here! While blogging has not been my strong point I am going to try and harness some of my spring excitement and work hard to post here on a weekly basis! Stay tuned to see how this works out!!

I am getting really excited for the spring and summer ahead and all the amazing weddings coming up! This year I am very happy to be shooting more weddings than ever right here in the Duluth area. It all starts on April 18Th with Jessie and Mike's wedding ceremony featuring a unique reception at Duluth's Classic Train Depot. The magic continues with many summer weddings in so many great locations and will wind down with several fall color ceremony's by Lake Superior.

While I love working here in the Twin Ports and Northern Minnesota I am never one to shy away from getting out and exploring. Lucky for me this year I have weddings near and far. There will be at least one ceremony at the gorgeous Munsinger Clemens Botanical Garden in St. Cloud while another will be held at a place close to my heart-The Harriett Rose Garden in Minneapolis. Also, I am lucky to be on the beach for Emily and Dan's wedding in Ft. Meyers, Florida and than off to the mountains for Lindsay and Chris's wedding in Whitefish, Montana!

I can't wait to blog about each individual wedding so please check back the week after your portrait session or wedding to get a sneak peek at a few of your images!

Also, this year I am very happy to offer clients free album design with their wedding packages. I thought long and hard about just including an actual album with my packages....but decided that in an effort to keep prices reasonable the albums would continue to offered a' la carte.

The next few blogs will feature some of the albums that Black Bird Photography will be offering along with some other fun products that are hidden on the a' la carte menu! If there is something you specifically are looking for and don't see let me know! Another cool product I am researching is wedding guest books that would feature photographs from your engagement session. What a fun way for guests to share their thoughts with you! Look next week to find out more about this fun new product!

Photography Tips- Engagement Session

Hi! Since Black Bird Photography's Wedding Packages include the option for an engagement photography session I thought I would post some tips for your session! Even though it seems like spring will never come....it will faster than we know it! Also, there may be a few of you who would brave the cold and do your sessions now or in the near future! There is an option to also do a photo session at the Como Zoo Arboretum..though this is an additional $25.00 cost. Please give me a call if you are ready to book your engagement session! Otherwise please check back to the blog for tips, updates and new photographs that will be posted from now on weekly!!! Also, I appreciate any feed back or comments relating to weddings or photography!
Have a great week!
Kristi


If you decided to pick Black Bird Photography, every single package I have includes an engagement photo session. It’s so important to do because it will give you a feel for how I work and also let’s you get to know me better. The key? RELAX! Your going to look fab no matter what you wear, feel, if you missed your haircut appointment…but here are some tips so make you feel ready:

-Dress in a way that makes you feel good. If your a girl who loves jeans, wear jeans silly! There is no ‘one way’ to dress for a shoot. This is about you.

-Try to dress in a way that feels similar to each other. If she’s going to wear a dress, pump it up a little. Go for the nice black pants. And look down at your shoes. How many days do those sneakers have left? And girls, if he wants to wear jeans you should keep the tiara at home.

-Classy. That’s what you want to think when you see your outfit. Same goes with makeup ladies. Some mascara and lipgloss is great if you normally wear nothing. The camera zaps 50% of your makeup away, so go for more than you usually wear.

-I love props!!! Bring your dog, your yearbook with you two in it, parasols, boas, whatever. Go crazy. It will just make the session more fun.

-Outfit changes are fun, but limit it to no more than 2. Wear jeans and bring your hot black dress. And those killer heels with some comfy flip flops.

Bring
Props
Comfy shoes
Oil blotting sheets
A big dorky laugh (or I can supply it, either way)

Don’t
Wear anything super tight. It will crease and show in your photos. Spandex is a no go.
But don’t wear baggy clothing either.
Wear matching outfits. Coordinated is good, matching is just plain scary.
Watch out for small patterns, small jewelry, logos, words, holes, wrinkly clothes and clashing colors.
