Brianna Graham : Daily Blog

A few favorites...

It's been 5 whole days since I last posted...I'm slipping! ;)

It's been a busy week, but I promise to post more soon. Just three recent favorites to share this time. :)

I also wanted to thank *EVERYONE* that comments on this blog. It is such a wonderful 'pick me up' to see the comments. I really appreciate the feedback that I received on my wedding site as well. Both the comments here, and the personal emails. Really - I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!

More soon!

OK - one more!! This little guy cracked me up the whole session!

Our New Wedding Site is Here!

I have spent the last several hours launching my new wedding website. Check it out!

I have lots more to add (engagement sessions, more weddings, text, FAQ's, etc), but my 'Featured Wedding' gallery is loaded, and is featuring the last wedding that I displayed on my blog, and lots more from the actual day.

I would actually love to get some feedback if at all possible. So, if you're in the mood to look, click below, turn your volume up, click on the 'featured wedding', and sit back and watch for a minute while the slideshow runs!

This is pretty cool!

I posted quite a while ago- I think during the holiday season, saying that we get a lot of 'out of towners' in the studio. Well, we still do...Our most recent visits have been from Naples, Florida, and Georiga, and Chicago! Thanks again to those that make the trip; I hope to make it worth your while!!

Recently, I have installed an amazing stats package onto my website, that allows me to see where my internet traffic is coming from. Well, I'm happy to announce, that as of June 7th (this year), I can "see" where everyone is hitting my site from! I have to say that I'm impressed!! Keep in mind, when I took this screen shot, this is only for a partial time of this month. We have had over 1000 unique hits, in all of 14 days, and that's not even the coolest part. The best part is that they have been from ALL OVER the country -- and FURTHER!! We have had hits from Amsterdam, and Dubai --- WOW!!

Anyone who knows me, or who has worked with me knows that I don't market my work. I have **always** been a strong proponent that my work will sell its self. Well, as the stats show, I guess it does.

I'm very very VERY flattered to get so much traffic from abroad. Keep it coming. I always love a challenge! I promise to not let anyone down as far as having unique images to look at!

Another Wonderful Wedding!

This is part of my back to back duo over Memorial weekend. Here are a few of my favorites from the 'Chicago wedding' portion of my weekend.

Loved this couple. It was a Lithuanian wedding, and definitely the most unique and amazing celebration that I have ever seen!!

I love my clients!

It's the nicest thing in the world to wake up to an email like this:

"We all just finished the preview and I wish you could have heard us- we were laughing, crying, speechless and in awe--You are AMAZING!!!
Please call us soon so we can set up a time to order.  There is no other photographer we will ever need or want...UNBELIEVABLE is all I can say!

Can't wait to hang them on our walls!"

Wow, guys - Thanks so MUCH for taking the time to email! It sounds silly, but I thrive on hearing positive responses such as this. Being in a creative industry, it's often difficult to know whether you're still doing the 'best' you can be doing... It takes emails like this for me to realize that I'm successful in my approach to how I see the children and families that I photograph...

Stay tuned for a ton of images that I will be posting...!

Revisiting the old...

Sometimes I run across images that were favorites from long ago, and have kinda fallen by the wayside. Here is one, that was a favorite of mine, even before I had my studio. I thought it was 'Post Worthy'...

It's funny; I went the longest time *not* updating my blog enough, and now, I want to update it multiple times per day! HA - crazy...

Can I just say why I love this image? I love how the father is looking at his new baby, with such hesitancy...like he doesn't know her at all, but at the same time, cannot imagine his life without her.

It's the moments like this that make me love my job so very much! :)

Beautiful girl...

I've had some amazing clients as of late. It's such an honor to work with every single one!  I love an opportunity to create something different. I try to do this every time I shoot. I don't ever want to feel like I'm creating the same thing over and over. I guess that keeps me on my toes. :)

Here are some favorites from a recent Urban Session.

Sisters...

I had an absolute blast with this family and their two beautiful little girls. I will post a few of my favorites.

I have to say that I just love it when things 'click' during a session.... Take a look. :)

Andy & Rachael get MARRIED!!

It's officially the beginning of my weddings this year! I've got 15 booked right now, and may do a few more this year, but we'll see. :)

Had a great start with Rachael and Andy's wedding... What a wonderful couple. I can't say enough about them.

Congratulations you both - You deserve all the best!!

Check out our new portfolio...

I have been making changes to my website (long overdue, I know), and this is just the beginning of many new things to come... But all in due time. Can't do all of the fun stuff at once, and neglect the actual work part, you know!

Anyway, in the next week or so, I will be launching a dedicated senior website, a new wedding website, and a whole bunch of other goodies. ;)

Stay tuned!
