Good Morning and Welcome !!

Where, Oh where, To Begin...

I think we shall dive in at the end. The End that is of the planning process that is. I think we shall start with the one piece of advice that I see as the most needed and never given until it is too Late.

If I were to ask you what is the best accessory you will have on your wedding day. What would you answer? What are you thinking right now. Shoes... Yes, lovely and one of my favorites, but not even in the top three.
"New diamond earrings", you say... getting warmer.

Hair, Smile & Face ..or more accuaretly skin..these are the three Biggies. This is the most photographed day of your life and I can not tell you the blunders that are made where the 3 Biggies are concerned.

So for todays column let's begin with skin.

Did you know that stress and birth controll are the top two causes for breakouts on your wedding day?
How can this be prevented you ask? It is all about planning and NOT Procrastinating!

Don't wait till the month prior to your wedding to make desicions about birth controll. Don't start new or change with in 12 weeks of your wedding date. Obviously, this is a topic to be explored in depth with your physician, but I can tell you it should be a topic you should brouche early. Break outs are not fun at anytime but they can be devistating on wedding day.

You have already heard over and over the benifits of drinking plenty of water. I think that is enough said.

Last, but not least.  I think this may be my favorite...

DO NOT GET A FACIAL closer than two weeks from your event.  Facials bring all the dead and gross stuff to the surface and wal-la.. Mister Pimple!!!! I am a huge proponient of pampering and I love nothing better than a day at the spa. Stick to fingers and toes once you are with in the two week window.

See you WEDnesday with my next installment.... to Zoom or not to Zoom (your teeth that is)

Hello to you all !!! What a wonderful week!
I am here to announce my newest line of wedding accessories. The Gift you can give to others or give to yourself. All you need is a favorite photo. The Charms can be removed from the ribbon pin and placed on a necklace or bracelet.Or maybe passed through a very close set of friends as each gets married.

I don't know about you but the hardest gift I had to purchase was for my father. What do you buy the man?!?! I wish I had these cuff links then.
P.S.
I just did these for a client and we did and baby photo and a Bridal Portrait. I don't know if the dad is going to cry or not but the mom and the bride sure did when they picked them up yesterday.



I am offering a special through Face Book so check it out.

All my Best Crystal

Hello to all and a very Happy New Year!

Crazy as this may sound, The New Year is one of my favorite times. Do not miss understand, I adore the holidays, but I have to say that I may love the renewal process more. I love cleaning everything up and starting fresh. I love a sparkling clean calender and fresh new start to the year ahead.

As many do this time of year,(and I am no different), resolutions are also the air. I enjoy taking stock in the things we accomplished and I love setting new goals for the upcoming months. Thus, I am announcing this years Resolution/ Goal

Beginning Monday, January 24th, I will be begin writing a weekly advise column.  My goal is to offer suggestions and ideas to make your walk down the aisle a graceful and beautiful event.

See you Monday !!

What's New 

I am always excited to hear when my fabulous clients have a new addition to their family. I can't wait to see the first pictures they send me. I love trying to see who the baby reminds me of the most. On occasion I even get to meet the newest bundle of joy and there is nothing I love more than getting a baby fix. Especially, since my small people will no longer allow me to carry them around on my hip. (Coleman@ 10 and Reagan @ 13 I guess I can't blame them.) 

Sooooo........I am proud to announce the newest addition to my photography studio.  ENCHANTED IMAGES INC.  

Beginning January 2011 Enchanted Images will begin this newborn year with a great new approach to capturing the fast and fleeting days and yes those crazy long nights. 

More announcements and offers coming so check back.

Love always ,   Crystal

just a hint: Mini-Sessions for your Mini-Me  :)
