Fun in Sedona!
A couple of weeks ago, I got the honor of shooting Jenae and Rich's wedding in Sedona. I invited two photographer collegues/friends to come along and shoot with me. So Michell Jonas and Ana Counts hiked up to Sedona with me to spend a short weekend shooting together. We had a blast! Jenae and Rich are a beautiful couple. And after Michell, Ana, and I left Sedona, Sedona will never be the same again (we partied, after we worked, of course!) Thank you Ana and Michell for ALL your help! We make a great team!

NEW Website for Me!
I just finished my new website. Did it all by myself (hopefully it doesn't look like I did it by myself!) It took me about a full work week or just a bit more than that. Please check it out and let me know what you think.
Thanks!

Danielle & Matthew
I have finally caught up from the crazy wedding season. My last blog entry had engagement portraits on it. That very day I was shooting their wedding-- blogged them in the morning. Well, here are Danielle & Matthew's wedding images. It was one of the smoothest, best planned out weddings that I have had the pleasure to be at, in almost forever! Everything went ahead of schedule, and the dance floor stayed packed for hours-- it was perfect harmony!
This first shot is one that I don't normally take-- it has my reflection in the mirror, but I think it has a papparazzi type feel to it. The rest are just a few of my favorites (from over 1000 images) from their special day.
Congratulations again, Danielle & Matthew! I had a great time at your wedding!

This afternoon I am shooting a wedding out at the Wright House in Mesa. The wedding of Danielle Hironimus and Matthew Vance. They say they are not real comfortable in front of the camera, but check out their amazing engagement photos-- they didn't know they had it in them! We had a great time back in January at the Scottsdale Civic Center. I am so looking forward to working with them and their families today. These images are actual pages from their custom guestbook.

If I can Custom Frame your memories for free, would you accept?
Of course, everyone likes the word free, and the only catch is to host a Custom Framing Party, and I do all the work! (Read on to find out how, why, where, etc.)
I have just signed on to be a Creative Memories consultant! I figure that since I am in the 'memories' business as a photographer, I should take it one step further and offer quality custom framing as well. I do have the ability to order any product that Creative Memories offers (scrap booking materials, digital software, albums, pre-made frames, and of course the custom framing.) If you are in need of any of these products, you can go to my new website www.mycmsite.com/sites/tracyphoto and shop online, or you can contact me for personal help and ordering.
The best part of this Creative Memories addition to my business are the Custom Framing Parties. The Custom Framing Parties are parties that are all about socializing and a little bit about custom framing. The host provides the location (their home), and I provide the wine, cheese, supplies, and fun. All of the guests (6 to 8 friends) bring 2 or 3 favorite items that need framing. (The items can be a favorite large photo, poster, diploma, certificate, award, painting, needle point, etc.) Everyone at the party helps eachother select from tons of mats and frames to create a masterpiece with custom framing. I then place the orders with Creative Memories, and the artwork comes back ready to hang on the wall a few weeks later. Most of us are always looking for an excuse for a get-together, and here one is! The host receives complimentary custom framing, so their artwork costs little or nothing to frame. To become a host today and receive complimentary custom framing, call me today! Let's party! 602-369-5431 Tracy
*** SPECIAL for my past and future brides! ***
If you will host a party, I will supply your favorite image in a 12"x18" to have framed! And if your party has $250 or more in framing sales, your 12"x18" photo will get custom framed complimentary. You will actually receive your favorite photo custom framed at no cost to you-- all for hosting a party with your friends. Invite your bridesmaids, moms, friends, and have a great time! Contact me today to set the date for your Custom Framing Party. Remember, I bring the wine and cheese, all you do is invite your friends over! 602-369-5431 Tracy

A Must See Drama
As an artist, I try to see movies that are inspiring. I just finished watching 'The Kite Runner', and am filled with a feeling of artistic satisfaction. I happened to come across information about the movie a few weeks ago when looking for movies to rent. It just came out on DVD March 25th, and I had Amazon.com pre-order one for me. Had to wait until I had the right mind-set to watch a serious drama, and last night was the night.
This movie is the story of two young boys that have a bond of friendship. It is based in Afghanistan I had no idea that Afghanistan was a beaufitul country back in the seventies. The culture and colors are intriguing. This was before the Communists of Russia occupied Afghanistan, and long before the Taliban moved in. Amir and Hassan are wonderful characters, so different yet have much in common. Kite flying is the towns pass time, and the cinematography of kite flying contest is breathtaking. The camera angles were inspiring for a photographer, yet enjoyed by all. You will fall in love with the characters and the storyline. The plot will pleasantly surprise you. It contains true accounts of racism, family, and times of war. This is a quality movie made of a quality book. The book was in the top 5 back in 2005. The movie has had great reviews by many critics.
I do have to warn you though, there are a few violent seens involving children (which is why it is PG-13.) And there is a woman stoned to death in a public arena-- so this is only for those that can handle such scenes. But the violence is brief, and only to portray the true way of life in the mid east culture. It will make you truly greatful for the life that we live here in the U.S.
You won't need tissue, well I didn't, but I definately sighed and had to gulp a few times at serious moments. The end result will leave you feeling glad you watched it though--you will feel educated and fulfilled, yet not too gloomy. Rent or buy it today, and enjoy the tale of the two boys lives.
