Hi Crystal,

Thank you for the email and the teaser pic. The teaser picture made me even more excited to get my proofs back!! It looks awesome and I cannot wait to see the rest. The pictures you took looked amazing as is so it makes me curious/excited to see them touched up.

I am flattered that you guys would like to use some of my images on you blog, website, or portfolio and would be more than willing to sign a model release.

I would like to thank you so much for such a fun and wonderful day. It was such an amazing experience and I definitely plan on doing it again! You made it so easy to feel comfortable and at ease with a situation that some may feel to be awkward. Thank you for making be feel as beautiful as I should have that day and everyday for that matter. To be completely honest, your photo shoot made me feel more confident about myself and my body which is something that I have not had in a very long time. I really appreciate your time, hard work, and dedication to your craft of photography and making it such an enjoyable experience.

You can trust that I have already told many people about it and I will continue to as I think every women should have as much fun as I did that day!

I can’t wait to see how everything turns out. Hopefully I will get to see you when I get to pick up my book or at another shoot. If not, good luck with everything and especially your baby. Enjoy every moment of motherhood as I hear time flies by!

Talk to you soon and have a great week,

Amanda

………..My response…………….

Amanda,
Your email almost made me cry (in a good way!). That is one of the most well-worded testimonials I’ve ever received. What you wrote is exactly what we hope will happen! I sincerely do feel that every woman needs this reminder that she is beautiful, and I am SO glad that this experience brought that out in you :).. and that I was a part of that. Now my week is complete because I accomplished what I set out to do ;), which is to remind you that you ARE sexy & beautiful!! I hope that refreshed confidence carries over to your wedding! I really enjoyed working with you too. You were great at quickly figuring out the poses and had such great variety of expressions. Plus, you are simply just easy to get along with!
I put a “model release” form in your file for you to fill out when you pick up your completed order.
We will be emailing you the proof soon!

We recently learned of San Diego Wedding Insider, another Fab online resource for Brides & Grooms (specifically in San Diego)! We saw their blog post about this popular San Diego Summer Wedding color scheme, and HAD to share! We’ve been loving the Hot Pink & Black combo for some time, and it is so fun to see it pop up in weddings! Plus the little collage they put together is cute eye candy for our blog!

Also wanted to share that SD Wedding Insider wrote a little blurb about us!
