Sneak Peek: Abby & Andy's Wedding
It was an amazing day, from beginning to end. It was, in one word... magical. Abby looked stunning, Andy looked oh-so handsome. I knew this would be one of the most amazing weddings I would have photographed so far. The day was filled with a rush of happy and joyful emotions as I knew it would be. I know many of you could not wait to see the official sneak peek, so I didn't want to keep you all waiting. These are only a few (and I mean a few) of the great moments throughout the day. Please feel free to leave a comment on ones you love! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Andy & Abby Glenn!

New logo, New Splash!
Being a graphic designer, one of the hardest thing to decide on is when you are done. When is that project complete. When is one more too much.
I am surrounded daily by inspiring graphics and logos and my head just spins and spins like a spin the bottle game. Around and around... well, ok, you get the picture.
Why did I choose what I chose, you ask?
As some of you may recall from my previous logo, my script "e" with 2 dots was sort of sig. I love it. I was just doodling one day on the computer and it magically happened. You can say love at first sight (or design!) I knew I needed to incorporate that into my logo. forever.
The next was color choice. Wow, millions and millions of color combos. (oh, yum, I love combos!) Anyhow, with blue being my favorite color, I figured that would be in there somewhere. But the accent needed to stand out, something new, something that "POPS"! I was standing in my closet one day and was looking at this chartreuse sweater I had from the Limited. Not a color everyone likes, or looks good in, and actually I think it was the only color left on the clearance rack the day I got it! Anyhow, I thought "ya know, I really like that color. It's bright, it's unusual, it speaks!!!"
So bam- there you have it. I finally got around to just sitting down and creating it today (Sidenote: thank you to my sweet little boy for taking a 3 hour nap today).
So without further doo.... the new official Studio E Photography Logo! Enjoy!

Featured Family Friday
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege to photograph this amazing family. I was so excited when Andrea asked me to do a family portrait session of them for 3 reasons:
1) I knew there would be extreme giggling and laughing involved, not only from them, but from me too!
2) The kids would give me all the energy they had
3) It knew it was going to be a blast
Needless to say, I should of added a #4 to that list: CHECK ALL ABOVE. It was a great shoot and there were so many great photos, I couldn't post them all. Although there was slight griping because of their "uniforms", as you can see, they look great! Here are a few favorites. You can so see each personality in the kids! Love it! Thanks again Gintert family. One of the best shoots to date!

Toy Storage...
Wow!
The Holiday's kicked my butt to say the least! I'm exhausted and exhausted and exhausted.
So what's new? For me... it's wrapping my head around all these toys, trying to figure out how to organize them all!
On Sunday after Christmas, Ryan and I spent around 2 hours looking for toy storage solutions... on every website on earth it seemed.
Personally, I am not a huge fan of kid-colored toy storage furniture. My favorite would be a navy blue if anything, but the CARS themed stuff, and the primary colored storage units... NOT A FAN. I wanted something at looked like furniture for our living room.
I came across these amazing "veggie" style storage units from THE LAND OF NOD a few months back and thought "BINGO!". But they are at a hefty price tag at $149 a piece. I liked that Zach will still be able to see his toys in this. We have one of those 6-cube storage things with the canvas bins that pull out. But Zach doesn't understand yet that toys are in the canvas bins... so it's kind of like out of sight, out of mind. So toys in those bins are forgot about.
I couldn't justify the$300 + for these two pieces. Especially after Christmas. It wasn't in the budget for these. I kept searching... and then I think I actually yelled out loud when I found them on Walmart's website!
Ta-da!
Ta-da II!
(click the links above) At $69 a piece I could justify buying both! I plan on stacking them as shown in the picture.
LOVE THEM! They are currently on their way to our local Walmart (free shipping site to store people)So that is what I have planned for our living room, where most of our toys are.
I also purchased these little babies from The Container Store for $6.99 each (bought 3). They have some at Target (navy and pink), but the blue ones were all sold out at the 4 (yes FOUR!) Targets I went to (there are lots of pink still available in the Columbus Area for all you moms with girls!).
The ones at Target are bigger than The Container Store. I thought these would be good in his bedroom closet. They would be perfect for anything really, not just toys. I like how they are stackable, but you can still reach in to them.
Here are a few more links to storage systems that I may consider in the future:
Stacking bins on Wheels (comes in white, blue and red)
Espresso Toy Organizer (I like that it's not in primary colors like you see everywhere)
Tutor Storage Unit (love this concept, not the light wood though)
So that's about the gist of it. I'd love to hear of any other ideas you mom's have!

HandStamped Love...
I have been anxiously awaiting. OOOOOOO- I can barely contain myself. I ordered a few weeks ago this handstamped necklace from Crazy4Handstamping shop on Etsy.
I got Ryan + Erin on the silver disc, Zachary on the long bar with the November crystal, and then added another bar with Est. 05.20.06 (our wedding anniversary). And I requested the words all be lowercase.
I am so pumped to get this. I should be coming any day now. And I can add pendants as our family grows too.
Plus, her prices are so much more reasonable than other handstamped jewelry I've seen. Some more famously known handstamped jewelry, I've seen necklaces for over $120 bucks! No way! That is crazy.
So I am anticipating that this will be a piece I wear often and with great pride.
