Portfolio (Best of Photojournalism - Part 3 of 7)

I was first a photojournalist before I did anything else with photography and I have a great passion for it. I have traveled and lived all over the United States to get the story through photographs and the thirst I feel will never be diminished. I have a press pass through a press photographers organization called NPPA (National Press Photographers Association) and it is also who I have my camera and computer insurance through. I started out as a student member in college 13 years ago and became a professional member when I moved to New York City. That press pass has allowed me to photograph such things as protests, Presidential inaugurations, presidential campaign stops, NY Fashion week, sports and much, much more. I have treasured documenting my career through photographs and I hope to for the rest of my life!

I took this maternity portrait recently in my backyard of some of my dearest friends (I also photographed their wedding) as my baby shower gift to them and turned it into a large 24 inches by 36 inches wall art (called a canvas gallery wrap) for them to display on the wall of the nursery above the crib. So excited to announce that I will be photographing baby Harlan (and his parents) this weekend and giving them that piece of art!

My Work on Display

I just got back from going and hanging my work up for an exhibit! It is at the Carlisle Coffee Company's coffee shop at 950 Walnut Bottom Road, Carlisle, PA 17015. It is located beside the Nell's/Shur fine grocery store and Subway (scroll down to the bottom of this post to see their hours of operation). The photographs on display include shots of weddings, pets, newborns, engagement sessions, children, maternity, etc. You can go and see my work during the entire month of February. If you know of anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding, engagement session, family portraits, etc. please pass this post along so they can go and check out my work. There are business cards and pamphlets that one can pick up while they are there. There are also examples of Save the Dates and wedding invitations.

Bridal Show Exhibit

 On Sunday, January 8, 2012 I had the opportunity to have a photography booth at the Wedding Wonderland Bridal Show at the York Expo Center in York, Pennsylvania. I had hundreds of brides and their friends and families stop by my booth. I was doing meet-and-greets with everyone stopping by the booth. I am posting photos of the booth along with some descriptions because everything you see in the photographs, I offer to my clients to purchase using their photos from their weddings and engagement portraits. Please feel free to give me a call and I can email you my whole price list for 2012! If you like what you see, I would love to set up a free in-home consultation where I sit down with the soon-to-be bride and groom and bring many of these products to show you the endless possibilities of how to turn your photographs into priceless works of art and gorgeous albums.

Here's an overview shot of the whole booth. My business colors
are red, white and black and those are used throughout the booth.
I had large canvas gallery wraps and my business name on a 
banner hanging up around the booth. Then I had albums, 
prints, sample Save the Dates and other items on two tables.
 On this side of the booth I had three large photographs on 
easels. One is a sample from the custom framing company I 
use. The other two are canvas gallery wraps with a floating 
wood frame around it. They turn out beautifully. They really 
make a statement when hanging in the home!
 A corner view on one of the tables.
 A different corner shot on the other end of the main table.
Different "Save the Dates", "wedding invitations" and 
"wedding announcements" using photos from engagement 
portraits and weddings. I can also custom create "thank you" 
cards and "Christmas/Hanukkah" cards using your favorite 
photos from your wedding. I can change and customize the 
colors and text fonts to fit the individual colors and style 
of your wedding. Call today to find out more information 
on these great press printed products!
 An overview photograph of four different albums I have to 
showcase the different styles and wide range of how I can 
custom design an album from your wedding or engagement 
session. I offer three different styles of albums: (1) accordion 
albums (2) Press printed books and (3) Willowbook Sequoia 
albums. The accordion album is the perfect size to carry in your 
purse to show friends, family and co-workers photos from your 
wedding. It is a really cool little "brag book" style of album that 
I am proud to offer to my clients. It is a perfect for the bride or 
as gifts to the mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the-groom. 
Then there is the "Press Printed Book" style of album which is an 
economical choice for either a wedding album or as a guest book
 album using your engagement portraits. The last style of album 
I offer is the "Willowbook Sequoia Album". It comes in over a 
dozen different colors of leather, linen or brushed metal cover 
styles. You can have text or photos on the cover as well. It is a 
high-end album and is guaranteed to last a lifetime. All of my 
albums are proudly "Made in the USA" and showcase superior 
craftsmanship.

 Canvas gallery wraps are a new, modern, 3-dimensional way to 
showcase photographs on your walls instead of the traditional 
picture in a frame. You can get one large gallery wrap or have 
several that you cluster together to make a statement wall.
This is a photograph of an entire bridal party.
 Here is a vertical-shaped gallery wrap of a bride and groom.
 A bridal portrait as a floating framed, canvas gallery wrap.
 At the top of this photo is a sample of an accordion album 
(this one holds 42 photos). Then below it is a sample of an 
11x14 print in a 16x20 frame with white mat that you can 
have all your guests sign at your wedding. The photo is of a 
couple from their engagement session. Later, many like to 
change out the photo to their favorite photo from their 
wedding and hang it in their new place.
I hope you like the products and services that I can offer. Please call me at 717-422-5050 today to schedule a consultation and I will be happy to email you my current price list. Good luck planning your wedding and I look forward to hearing from you soon! All the best, Lizzie
