Happy Birthday, babe!

The Tudors . . .

One of the very few good things about being too sick to get out of bed is having the chance to catch up on some of those unwatched DVDs I've got lying about.

If you know me at all, you know that I'm not very big on TV.  I can't tell you a single thing about the Idols, the Top Models, or the Dancing Stars. And I kind of like it like that. That said, I was very pleased to receive the boxed set of Showtime's The Tudors as a belated Christmas gift. Unfortunately, it sat unopened until last week  because I haven't had the time to get into it.

What a wonderful treat it turned out to be! I loved Jonathan Rhys Meyers as King Henry VIII (well really, ladies -- what's not to like?) and the story, although not entirely accurate in historical terms, moves along wonderfully well.  Add beautiful photography and to-die-for costumes to the mix and you have a winner.

Season Two is currently airing on Showtime, but I'll wait until the next boxed set comes out later this year. Enjoy --but please be reminded that  nudity and sexual situations make this one strictly adult fare.

Sick . As. A. Dog. . .

Alas. The flu that I thought I got rid of at Christmas is back with a vengeance. I am sick, sick, sick.

I've been in bed for most of this week and I am just exhausted. If you have tried to call or email me, I will be in touch as soon as I can. I have one client (and you know who you are) who needs a special surprise project completed by mid month. I want you to know that we're doing everything we can to accommodate you. For the rest of you, I will be in touch just as soon as I feel a bit better.

Thanks so much for your understanding.

I've had the pleasure of working with Holly at Pink Ink Studios from time to time. In case you don't know, Pink Ink is a terrific design house that creates all kinds of fabulous cards and other goodies for photographers, scrapbookers and other artists. I really love their products (if you are a Studio Sinead wedding client, Holly designed the Christmas card that you received in December,) so you can imagine how surprised I was when Holly told me that I am this month's Pink Ink Spotlight Photographer! She even interviewed me and published some of my work. What fun!

Thank you so much, Holly. I'm honored.

Thank you, Detroit !!!

We had  a fantastic time yesterday at the Whimsical Occasions Bridal Show at the Royal Oak Music Theatre. It was such a pleasure to meet and chat with so many of you. If I'd known bridal shows were this much fun, I'd have started doing them years ago! Here are a couple of shots of our booth. Please excuse the lighting -- it was out of our control. I wanted to take more pictures, but you guys kept us so busy that there really wasn't time. Our booth was mobbed from the beginning of the show to the very end. At one point we had a bit of a line and if you were waiting and didn't get a chance to talk with us, please email me. I'd love to have the opportunity to meet you.

Thanks again to all who came out to see us and to the phenomenal Deanna Nelson of Whimsical Occasions and Jessie Gainer of ROMT for putting on such an uber-fabulous event.

Don't Forget:

We're exhibiting at the Royal Oak Music Theatre bridal show tomorrow.  Stop by and see us and register for your chance to win a  free boudoir session.  See you there!

Come See Us at the Royal Oak Music Theatre . . .

. . .and register for a chance to win a free boudoir session.

We'll be exhibiting in the bridal show at ROMT on Sunday, March 16th from 1 to 4 p.m. Come on out and holla back at us -- because how embarrassing would it be if we get up there and have an empty booth?? Seriously. Come show us some love and help us represent!

You can also see our new, kick-ass sample albums and gorgeous large prints. We will draw the boudoir session winner from the e-mail addresses that we receive from visitors to the show on Sunday. We've also donated a session to the show itself, so you have two chances to win!

We have a few other surprises up our sleeves as well, but you have to be there if you want to know what they are.

See you Sunday!

Did You Know ? . . .

I was surprised to have someone tell me today that she thought a  Studio Sinead wedding was out of the question for her because of budgetary concerns. I want to tell you that this isn't necessarily the case! We have collections starting from $2,700.00 -- $2,500.00 on Fridays.  Call or email the studio for more information.

And now you know.

Gianna and Frankie's Wedding Album

We've photographed their wedding, their maternity session, and their beautiful new baby girl. I suppose it's about time that they got their wedding album. :)

We love Gianna, Frankie, and Baby S. and we feel so blessed to watch their lives come full circle. It was so much fun to look back at their wedding day. If you'd like to see their album, click here. Enjoy!
