I am SO stoked to report that I will have the distinct honor of presenting at the upcoming annual Women's Day event (put together by the fine folks at Bryan LGH!). Color me flattered! I'll be sharing some tips on how you (yes YOU!) can take better photos of life's most precious everyday moments. So grab your girlfriends, and sign up now! (The deadline is March 8th... and it's expected to sell out fast!) Also presenting is the fabulous Jeanne Baer. It's double the fun.... Don't miss it!
I can't believe it's already here.... but then again, I've been compiling a waiting list since last summer! If you're part of the graduating class of 2010, I've got a freshly re-designed info pack waiting for you! Give me a shout out and I'll send it your way asap! :)
With a very full wedding calendar, I'm only able to accommodate a very limited number of 2010 seniors this summer.... so don't wait, my calendar fills up FAST!
The ever brilliant Jackie shines again! She started a new blog, definitely worth checking out! (The latest post features yours truly, how slick is THAT?)
Jackie is filled with inspiration, creative genius, and packs a writing punch that will knock your socks off. Check out this glimpse into her world....
The name "Shoot Shack" has been federally trademarked with yours truly as the owner! That means the name is mine, and only KaBloom Studios clients get the 'Shoot Shack.' Lucky you! :)
Intellectual property law is such a fascinating field. One that is often times easily overlooked and misunderstood. According to Wikkipedia, "Intellectual property (IP) is a legal field that refers to creations of the mind such as musical, literary, and artistic works; inventions; and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce, including copyrights, trademarks, patents, and related rights. Under intellectual property law, the holder of one of these abstract properties has certain exclusive rights to the creative work, commercial symbol, or invention by which it is covered."
So... basically, when someone produces a creative work, whether they shot a photo, wrote a song, or named a rockin' photo booth.... they own the rights to that property (even if it is not officially registered). Registering it documents it and provides legal grounds for claim of ownership.
Wikkipedia adds, "The owner of a registered trademark may commence legal proceedings for trademark infringement to prevent unauthorized use of that trademark."
Kinda exciting stuff, if you can stomach the legal fees involved. :)
Tonight at John & Sara's wedding, we busted out the newest addition to the KaBloom Studios repertoire... the Shoot Shack! It's a great opportunity to create a visual guestbook & give guests a momento they'll love while capturing them as themselves. :)

Yours truly, with another Emmy & Ivy Vintage Cocktail Ring.... I'm an addict!
Join the party TONIGHT at Zen's from 5-8 to GET YOUR SHOP ON with all the goodies from the gals and Emmy & Ivy. It's a craftacular shopping extravaganza!
I will be there with bells on.... I can't wait to get my hands on some more of those FAB vintage cocktail rings! (and I already have 3, count 'em THREE!)
Maybe Sarah will let you look at her session brag book I'm bringing with me tonight... maybe. Just maybe. If you can pry it out of her hands... ha ha! :)
