Antisdel's Story

I Wish I Were a Scrap Booker

I wish I were a scrap booker. One year, I even took a Wednesday night class at church that you were supposed to spend the time scrap booking. I did get most of my snapshots organized and a few printed from around the time 5 year old Chilton was born. But no scrapbooks created.

So, you can see why I was excited to discover a really talented artist who wanted to scrapbook for us at antisdel.s. These are our first few projects and I can't wait to try out more on other sessions with my kids. If you are interested in purchasing one of these handmade albums of your portraits, email me or call the studio.

This first album is from our Bohemian Valentine's session. Betsy had just turned 2 and was a bundle of energy. That's really incredible to think about actually. Here is a link to her newborn portraits and her 1 year portraits.

 

The delicate angel wings of this book make it my favorite so far. I love the whimsical use of the feathers and the pearl details as well.

There is a flap on the page opposite Beale that I will write about how my children are such angels:).

 

antisdel.s Senior Website is all new

At least every couple of weeks, our senior website is completely redone with all new images on every page. If you are a 2011 senior and have had your pictures taken at antisdel.s watch antisdelsphotography.com because you may show up there.

My mom, Sana, is the one who does all of the design work for our senior site, advertising and displays so it is always fun to see what she comes up with next.

Here is what our current featured senior said on our facebook wall after discovering her portraits on the website:

Lovin the home page !!! :D

and here are some more seniors who have been featured this summer.

 

 

 

Check out these inspiring websites and blogs I'm loving

This is my favorite blog that I've recently found. To be honest, I'm not a big web surfer because when I sit down to the computer I usually have a lot of work and personal "tasks" to accomplish. I use my pink titanium mac laptop most of the time and I'm thankful that I do my shoot editing on my pc so not all my work is located on the one computer. So, since I'm usually doing some sort of work I find it hard to relax and enjoy what the web has to offer.

But Andy and I have been talking a lot about building a house in a few years so I've added the "task" of home design research to my computer work. That's how I found several of these sites and I love the way they present their ideas.

Here's the first called knack. I love her furniture before and afters the most. She names each piece that she refinishes and then she does a little photo shoot with the piece after she is done. And then she usually posts them on etsy to sell.

Check out the knack blog and see what I'm talking about.

 

This next blog has such pretty pictures and I really enjoy her junk finding jaunts. I'm not really big on white myself  but she has a lot of great ideas for home design.

I actually wore a white shirt to church the other day and people were commenting in surprise that they've never seen me in white. I prefer bright, rich and saturated colors in clothing and home decor and, of course, when I wear white you can usually tell what I've been snacking on lately as well.

Here is a link to the frugal farmhouse design blog.

If you like home design, I'm sure you've visited Design Sponge, but it is a new discovery for me so I'm guessing it might be new for a few of you. My favorite posts are the before and afters, but there are so many great posts about travel, things to buy, Do It Yourself projects that there is just about something for everyone.

Have fun browsing these great sites!
