Today's favorite is Kata camera straps. They have two nifty little pockets that you can put your memory cards in which makes changing your card in a hurry super easy! The strap I have is called the Reflex C and their website is www.kata-bags.com
(Arbor snowboarding pin and Eagle Scout mom pin sold separately!)

Get schooled part 2

Thanks to everyone for making this workshop so fun! Thanks to our awesome models! Luckily the weather cooperated for us! I am going to teach another int/adv. workshop in April, so email me at julie@julieparkerphotography.com to get on the waiting list!

Get schooled part 1

I had so much fun teaching this workshop! I love it when my niece can model for me! Keith Bryce was my special guest and he designed and styled this look for Rachel. He even did her hair! A special thanks goes out to Spencer, Rachel's fiance, for modeling for us as well! There are lots more images to come(a cute little preemie and darling family)!

Favorites Friday!

Today's Friday Favorite is heart shaped bokeh overlays! I found them on DeviantART. These are a couple shots from my workshop yesterday! It was so much fun! I'll show you more later.

Model positions filled!

Thanks so much to all of you who sent pictures! I really appreciate it!

MODEL CALL

I need a few models for some upcoming events. I need a baby(newborn-8 months) and a small family to model for my workshop this Thurs. from about 1-4 or 5pm. If you, or if you know of anyone who is interested, please email a picture to me at julie@julieparkerphotography.com as soon as possible. I tried to get this info out earlier, but was horribly sick all weekend.
I also need some 6-12 month old babies(mostly girls) and 2-4 year old models for a shoot on Sun. the 21st. for Little Cherry Blossoms.

Today's favorite of mine is Valentine's Day treat bags filled with gumballs! They are super easy to make too! I bought these cellophane bags at Zurchers(.15 ea.) Then I designed a 5x5 in. Valentine greeting in Photoshop making sure to reverse the graphics for the backside once it's folded(see below). Then I printed it out,cut it, folded it in half and stapled it to the bags!

Locals take back Sundance party!

I don't know if you knew this about me, but I REALLY LOVE fashion photography. My dream is to be offered a ridiculously high paying fashion photography job in New York City! I don't think I could ever permanently leave Utah though, I love it too much!
These pictures are from a party I went to last week up in Park City for locals only. My friends Keith Bryce, Paula Dahlberg, Michelle Boucher and Steven Robertson designed these looks.
It was so much fun, especially walking to the front of the line past all the poor saps who were waiting to get in!!

Me with Abby Warnock, Andrea Hanks and Jake Garn.

Attention photographers!

This is going to be so amazing! The shoot will take place in an old abandoned building and there will be several different set ups(there will even be an old car inside the building for one of the sets!) I just love Keith! He is one of the sweetest, most genuine people I know and I am so glad he's my friend! There are only a few spots still available so HURRY and sign up and be sure to tell Keith that I sent you when you do! I hope to see you there!

My Get Schooled workshop is now full! To be put on the waiting list for the next one, please email me at julie@julieparkerphotography.com

Here are some of the previous shoot's I have done with Keith!

I am starting a new segment on my blog and every Friday I will post about some of my favorite things such as photography tools, inspiration, design, websites, etc.!

My first Friday favorite is digital scrap booking! My favorite digital designer is Paislee Press. I love the minimalism and simplicity of her designs! She sells these press plate templates that make it super easy! I did this layout of my daughter in literally 10 minutes!

On that note I would like to announce that I am selling my archived discs (that can be used for digital scrap booking) from 2006 and earlier for an extremely discounted rate! Email me at julie@julieparkerphotography if you are interested!

Just a few spots left!

I have just a few spots left for my wokshop on Feb. 11th and 12th! If you are interested email me at julie@julieparkerphotography.com
I'll leave you with a few pictures of my nutty little one!

There are still a few spots open for the workshop! Contact me today if you are interested!
