Today’s photo archive is from 2006. I had just gotten my shiny new Canon 30D camera and wanted to go outside and take photos of anything and everything. I don’t usually take photos of nature, but what better subject is there for practice? I drug the hubby out to Callaway Gardens and took about a zillion photos of everything in sight. The first one is from the totally awesome butterfly house. A giant glass house full of flowers and butterflies? Every girl’s dream. It was more challenging than I ever thought it would be to get them to sit still long enough. The second photo is from a flower called Snow White. Magical. I will totally admit the name of the flower is half of the reason why I took the photo in the first place. Maybe I should have titled this post “Allison’s photos of fancy girly things”. I’ll always have a little bit of that girl in me, I suppose.

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!
