Allison Bess: Phoenix Wedding Photographer & Portrait Photographer

I think change is amazing. It’s crazy how a few little changes can completely alter the feel of a room, or a life. Last night I cleaned and completely rearranged the furniture in my room and I couldn’t be happier! Just a few little moves and the room feels totally different and way better. If you’re ever feeling like you’re in a rut or just bored with the routine of your daily life, I encourage you to make some little changes, no matter how small, even if it’s just moving a chair or something. Change can feel so good!

Happy Thursday!!

Yet another busy week! I have only 5 more days of photo summer school after today and I can’t say I’m terribly sad. I’ll miss my new friends but it’ll be nice to have a free month of summer. I’ve been working as much as I can saving for my new lens that I finally bought today :) I’m super excited for it to come next week!! Last week a friend loaned me two INCREDIBLE lenses that I had fun playing with over the weekend. They were very high quality lenses and I hope I can have stuff that awesome one day! If that was the only good thing that happened last week, it would have been ok. On top of that though, my amazing boyfriend bought me tickets to my dream show Wicked. I know every single word to every song in the show and I’ve loved….well more been obsessed…with it for the last five years. I’ve never gotten to see it though and he surprised me with tickets for next month and I am so so so excited!!! It was the nicest thing in the world. I also got to spend some fun time at the lake for my friends birthday, and saw the Proposal which was a wonderful movie. I laughed a ton :) it felt great. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!! Here are some photos that I’m working on right now in class for my assignment this week on fashion. Hope the colors show up correctly on here!

Happy Tuesday :)

Monday is the start of a new week, hopefully yet another productive week at that! So far it looks like it will be :) Today I worked on a new feature that I’m going to offer to clients. I’ve done a lot of research on it with other photographers and it seems to be an awesome feature that clients really like and find easy to use. I think it will definitely help with organization and just make things easier all around for everyone. So from now on, I’ll be offering online proofing for everyone. I will post all of the color corrected images online in a special album that can be password protected. From the online album, clients can view all photos, order prints, albums and photo CDs. Each client will have the option to get the CD with images that can be printed anywhere (Costco, Walgreens, etc.) or they can order them through me and I’ll send the orders out to a professional printing lab who make high-quality prints on various types of paper. I’m really excited about being able to offer these new options and I’m hoping that clients will love online proofing as much as I do!

I hope you have an excellent week!
