Why hello there, Pixelette blog! We haven’t been hanging out too much lately have we? Well, that’s mostly because the Pixelette Facebook page is getting all my attention. So I’ve decided to start using Pixelette’s facebook page as the main ‘blog’ for all the latest news, photo updates, and promotions.

So if you are interested in keeping up with all the happenings around the Pixelette studio, join our Facebook page! Click the button below to check us out.

Applications have already started rolling in for this year’s senior model program! If you are an outgoing high school student who is graduating in 2011, you are eligible for our super cool program! As a Pixelette Senior Model, you’ll get a FREE Couture photo session (that’s our super mega session that includes makeover photoshoot), plus escalating rewards for every friend you refer to us.
Interested? <a href=”http://www.pixelettephoto.com/seniors/2011-senior-model-application”>Fill out our application</a> and if you are chosen, we’ll send you all the info you need to get started. We will be collecting applications throughout the month of January, so don’t wait!

I finally got the keys to the new studio! It’s going to be a little while before its completely cleaned up and ready to go, but I am still super excited!

Here’s a photo of the way it looks now.. all empty and bare!

There is a large back room which is definitely not in usable condition in its current state. Since it will take lots of time any money to fix it up, I am going to work on it slowly, bit by bit, and keep business up front until it is ready to be seen!
It’s located just north of Woodstock, GA in a tiny historical square. It may be a little bit of a drive from downtown Atlanta (about 40 minutes), but its totally worth it!
I will share more photos once I get it looking presentable. I have a lot of work to do!

Ok I admit it. I am falling in love with this style. I spent some time trying to improve my techniques from last time and am having a good time fiddling with all the possibilities. So here’s my new batch of edits. Which of these do you think works best?

As an aside, I was asked if I would share the editing process for my future retouch updates. Yes, I promise I will! I just usually don’t keep track of what I do, and there’s a lot of back and forth fiddling involved so I don’t always remember my exact process. I will do my best to write down my steps and hopefully you can try these edits at home too.

Well, my photography is anyways. In this lovely article in OMMA magazine, my head shot of Moxie Interactive CEO Kris Zagoria was featured. Moxie is an online advertising agency in Atlanta. Kris is a super inspirational woman and a great role model for professional ladies everywhere!

Oh, I’ve been such a bad blogger. I am certainly not used to keeping up with a blog and sometimes I totally forget I even have it. Well no more, I say! I’ve decided to add some new weekly blog features that will ensure that I keep updating as much as humanly possible in between work. Of course the photoshoots will remain the feature presentation of this blog, but a little personal fun can’t hurt! So here’s the new lineup:

The Photo archive - In this category, I will dig deep into the depths of my hard drive and pull out a photo that hasn’t been seen in a while (or maybe not at all!) Some of them may be more recent, some may be suuuuuper old. So you will see my skill and style differences between the years.

The Retouch Remix - Sometimes I like to get super creative with my photos and try a new photoshop technique I haven’t tried before. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but it can be fun to see the results. I will post the original photo and then the creative retouch.

The Week in Photos - This will be random photos from my weekly life. Totally random things that interest me.

Things I Love - This will be the things I am currently loving this week. Food, music, shows, clothes, whatever!!

I’ll be starting these features on Monday so check back this coming week! Make sure I keep up with it and feel free to nudge me if I don’t, cause I totally deserve it for being lazy last month!

That’s right, I am looking for some energetic students that will be graduating in 2010 to become my official senior models. The timeline for applications is getting short! Only a few more weeks left to fill in your application, so if you think you’ve got what it takes and want to earn some serious $$$, then don’t waste any time!
Check out the newly refurbished Pixelette Seniors page for the application. If you have trouble viewing it for any reason, simply email me and I will send you the application that way.

Don’t miss the opportunity to get a super hot photoshoot for free!

Okay so I’ve put it off for a long time, but I finally have a photo blog. I’ll use this space to post all my new work and rable about whatever personal stuff I feel like! Be prepared for some randomness. WOO!
