2009 Resolutions!

First a resolution. I will blog more!

This year will be taking me and my studio into a new direction as we focus on Senior photography. That does not mean I will not be doing weddings though. In fact just in the last 2 days we have had the pleasure of photographing 2 spectacular weddings. On New Years eve we went to Florida and brought in the new year with Grant and Elizabeth. Then on the first weekend Beth and Rob tied the knot.

I want to thank both couples for allowing me to be a part of the day of their lives.

If you read this blog then you know I am not much for words, unless in person then it is another story.

I say, on to the images!

To recap on resolution:

Blog more.

More photo instruction? Photoshop tips? Lighting tricks? Videos of us in action? Workshop dates and types of workshops?

You let me know.

We are trying to set up a workshop in England early this spring. All about fashion and Seniors.

Interested?

See comment box. :)

Married January 3 2009

Lo-down: Camera malfunctions, rainy day, no help except for my most trusted assistant Kevin. It was crazy and I loved it. I'm sure the couple thought I was crazy for shooting the camera upside down all day because of mirror problems.

It was so much fun being challenged like that. :)

Enjoy the images. Beth, you are awesome!!!

We traveled to Chattanooga to Photograph Karina for my Senior Line of products and also for some images for The White Room Too opening in Murfreesboro soon.

It was freezing and she rocked. Hope you like the images. Chuck

So, I stumbled across some really neat images Chuck had snapped when I was in the hospital this past July. We had a model-friend of ours Taylor and her beaux Marcus stay at our loft so they could visit Nashville. Chuck had good inentions on doing some kind of fashion shoot with Taylor but wasn't able to since we had our daughter Olivia a wee bit earlier than expected! So instead Chuck did some impromptu shooting a-la-calvin klein ....you know the underwear ads you've seen in magazines. Enjoy and stayed tuned for some new Chuck Arlund high fashion imagery coming this way.

You GOTTA see us!!!

I dont believe we ever posted this image.....we got A LOT of good feedback in that this is a creative family photo you probably won't find anywhere else!! We shot this in my mom's backyard. Yes, that is a "fake" martini in my hand with cigarette lit in the other hand. Lachlann had to do his "ice-cream face" and Chuck decided to do his best James Hetfield impersination....but with a grill instead of pyros! I love this!! I think you will too!

Elizabeth and Ben are what I call the perfect couple. Very laid back, fun, in love and elegant. I am really blessed to be able to photograph people like this. When I was a photographer living in Kansas City 90% of the weddings I shot were Catholic. In Nashville, you do not see that many so whenever I get a Catholic couple I really look forward to it. Thank you guys.

Wedding season coming to a close

This has been a great year for weddings. I want to thank all of my couples for making this a great year.

What is in the future for Arlund? Well, one word. SENIORS. I am going to do what I absolutely love doing and that is fashion photography. Because I do not want to uproot my family and move to Italy I am going to photograph seniors.

I will still be accepting wedding commissions but not as many as previous years so if you would like me to photograph your wedding please make sure you contact us as soon as you set a date. We will book up quick.

Look for more information on senior photography. Please tell your friends, family, people on the streets. Yep, a street team is being formed right now.
