2011-06-16T13:19:00.002-04:00

It feels like a reeealllyyy long time since I've blogged here!! Probably because it has been! Between the storms wracking the midwest and the south, and some staffers having deaths in the family out poor Blog has been sorely neglected.

So lets get down to business. :) There was a post up in the forums about what all you would like to learn, both from the magazine and the forums. If your already a member over there, hurry over and go post some topics you would like us to teach you more about. If your not a member yet, the what are you waiting for?? ;) You can also tell us what you'd like to see in the comments here of course.

In an effort to make the Blog a more relevant part of our magazine, also comment and tell us what you would like to see here! Contests, information articles, features on sessions photographed by our readers? You tell us what YOU want to see!

And don't forget, you can submit your images to be published in the magazine here, on Facebook, or email them to breakfastclubphotography@gmail.com.

Hope you all have some awesome sessions this weekend, and don't forget to share! You may see yourself on the Blog!!

Happy Thursday!

Update on the Forums and a Ramble or Two...

2011-05-04T20:36:00.002-04:00

HELLO magazine fans!! The Blog has been sparse lately, because we have been working so hard on getting the forums up and running. We have a lot of new members, which we're very excited about, and we cant wait to get to know each one better. If you haven't joined yet you should, and if you've joined but are just lurking come on out of hiding - we want to know you!

A few random photography thoughts since it's been so long. I'm a huge CS5 lover, but Shannon wrote an article in the last mag issue about Lightroom that got me curious. So I tried it. I LOVE IT! I won't be giving up my photoshop by any means because I adore it as well, but I've started doing my basic stuff in Lightroom and finishing up in CS5, utilizing my favorite features from both. I think that if CS5 isn't an option with you then Lightroom is a great option. Lightroom + Photoshop Elements could be a great combo, and more affordable.

And how about a bit of homework? Have you taken any great nature shots lately? I have, and have loved getting out and playing with my camera. Your homework is to go have some FUN with your cam and show up the shots. Either email them to breakfastclubphotography@gmail.com or link us in the comments!

Happy Shooting!!
~Holly

We're Back!!!

2011-01-05T13:51:00.004-05:00

So things have been kind of slow over the holidays, but we're back and we're making up for it!! Our members have been faithfully posting their photos over in the group, and there are going to be a whole bunch of them in this post. It's too hard to narrow down that many good photos, so we'll just go a little overboard. :)

I LOVE the reflection in this photo!

I also love seeing photos of old buildings, especially barns, so naturally this one caught my eye.
Some of our members are practicing with new equipment to farther sharpen their skills. (And the subject is adorable!)
And some are showcasing that they have more than one talent! Laura of Blue Bonnet Designs made this snood and took the photo!This next one is just too adorable for words. See for yourself!
Who doesn't love a fantastic snowflake photo?

And guess what the next holiday is?

Tis the time of year for sports photography, like this fine example!and finally - I have loved this shot since the first time I laid eyes on it. It helps that the photographer has taught me SO much!

There were many more that I wanted to get, but time would not allow on this go-around. Keep posting and thank you for the support!
~Holly

Attn Readers!

2010-12-10T12:08:00.001-05:00

We have found an error in this month's issue - one of our articles was not printed correctly. When you read the article "Choosing The Perfect Lens" you will probably get a bit confused somewhere around the end of the first paragraph. We apoligize for the printing error, and to help out we are posting the page (correctly!) for you to read here. We will also be re-running it next issue. Thanks for your understanding!

Here is the LINK!

I hope you enjoyed the photos! Be sure to go over and post your own for a chance to be featured right here on the Blog!

New Issue and Some Excting News!!!!

2010-12-02T13:31:00.003-05:00

Hellooooo everyone!!!!! We haven't blogged in awhile, but that is about to change! :D We have some exciting new developments happening at BCP Mag and can't wait to fill you in.

First of all...here is our new issue that is out for sale! We're really enjoying the new format, and find that our readers are too. There's information on many different things in each issue now. :D Click here to get this issue for yourself!

Now in other news.....some of you may know that our beloved magazine emerged from some tight friendships we formed on a social networking site called CafeMom. We have decided to continue to utilize CafeMom to share our knowledge with our reader base. We are excited and pleased to announce the Breakfast Club Photography Forum. When you join this forum you will have access to tips and one on one help from the staff of BCP Mag. We post all kinds of tutorials and tips, and give constructive criticism on how to improve your own images. Just like our magazine, it is for professionals and hobbyist alike. :D

One of the fun things we do are Photo of the Day and Theme Posts. For photo of the day, the members post a photo they took that day, that they love. And for Theme posts, we give a theme and you post a photo that you have taken that shows your interpretation of the theme. We have a lot of fun doing this, and as announced in the forum already, we are going to feature some of our members photos on the Blog!!

And if you haven't figure it our already, this post is the debut of that sharing!! So here are some photos taken by some talented members of our group. If you would like to see your photo featured, hurry over and join and start posting. You know you want to! :D

I love love love this photo that was posted in the "Babies" Theme post. I'm a sucker for color, and love the colors in this.

Since it's getting close to Christmas, we are seeing more festive photos appear. This next one was added in a Photo of the Day post, and really caught my eye!
And finally this next one was in a "Christmas Tree" Theme post...I LOVE these types of photos, and have actually taken some of my own for fun. This is a great way to remember that photography truly is an art.....and that you really are painting with light. :)

Create Your Style Designs by SJ!

2010-06-25T11:16:00.002-04:00

Branding and logos are one of the best moves you can make when taking your photography business to a whole new level. People will recognize your cards, your packaging, and most importantly those watermarked images you let your clients use on social networking sites.

Once you have your logo set in stone, newbie client sees your watermark on her friend from highschool's images and thinks - hey those are cool. Then she sees them on her former co-workers wedding images and says - wow those are really good. While snooping on her ex-bff's page on Facebook there's the images you took of ex-friend's newborn and she thinks this photographer is everywhere. Then the ultimate find - you've shot her ex-boyfriend and his new fiance's engagement photos! Not to be out done she hits google, Facebook, Myspace and anywhere she can think of to find this studio everyone knows about but her. You are the hidden gem - FINALLY she finds your site - she KNOWS it's you because of the logo and bam you are now photographing HER engagements, wedding, future maternity, newborn and family portraits!

Ok, ok so maybe it doesn't happen QUITE like that or maybe it does - that's how I stay so busy. ;)

So now you're hooked you NEED a logo and with that all new marketing material, blog and now you need stickers, packaging and your site to all match. WHERE do you start? You could spend hours, days and weeks creating the perfect image and then find out the brushes you used can't be used for branding OR you can make it easy on yourself and tell CYS by SJ what you're leaning towards and fill out her questionaire and she'll make you the perfect new you. ;)

She rocks - SERIOUSLY! She knows what you want before YOU know what you want!

AND for the greatest news of the day..............

SHE'S GIVING AWAY A CUSTOM LOGO TO ONE SPECIAL WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You want it - you know you do, so here's how to enter:
1. Visit her blog and leave her a comment (link us to it in our comments)

Today's giveaway is a 5x5 hand painted photo frame in chocolate brown with cotton candy polk-a-dots! This frame came to us from Just 4 Photogs.

So be sure to get the entries in for BOTH!! :) Happy Saturday!

Today's entering is SUPER easy because you have me filling in for Noel [No matter how hard I try - I will never be as cool as she is!] for the day! ;)

1. Just leave us a comment HERE on why you'd like to win.

Our first freebie!

2009-10-01T16:52:00.000-04:00

Introducing Sassy Designs!!!!

We recently got the chance to chat with Terry the owner/designer of Sassy designs, many of our photographers love her designs and she agreed to let everyone try one out!

Here is a little background on Terry, followed by the links to the freebie as well as to her store

How long has her Etsy been open?

I’ve been a member of Etsy since September 2007 but didn’t officially open a shop of my own until July of this year.

What inspires your designs?

I find inspiration everywhere. I know that may sound cliché but it is true. Being a former website designer I am used to planning page layouts in my head, or sketching them out on paper. I can see a magazine ad or a television ad which will inspire a template layout.

What is the most popular seller?

The number one seller in my shop is the “City Girl” paper pack. “Uptown” is a close second – they take turns in that top spot!

Your color combos are wonderful - how did you come up with them?

I love looking at paint samples. I actually have a drawer full of them and I love flipping through them for inspiration!! I also find color inspiration in everyday things like product packaging, ad campaigns, and television commercials.

Will you be adding new designs anytime soon?

I am adding new things constantly – almost daily! There is always something fresh in the shop!

What got you started in designing templates?

I started out as a website designer back in 1997. Through the years I started branching out and doing print / publication design and ad design. I really enjoyed working on smaller projects, especially after having my son in 2006.

When my oldest and dearest friend started her own photography business she hired me on the side to design custom business forms for her so she could get her brand in place. Then she asked for my design help in creating custom birth announcements for her clients. That is ultimately what got me started designing card templates. Card templates then led me to designing digital papers and design elements for use in creating templates.
