Camp Hill Photographer – Grace Lightner Photography

• Okay to sum it all up we have a lot of new going on right now…

A handful of gorgeous new backgrounds for 2010! 

• 2 that show off hip textures, colors, a little bit of damask (shown in post), another with a subtle masculine pattern (will post soon).  Perfect for just about everything!
• Grey which is perfect for families, seniors, fashion, intimately captivating portraits full of strength… think Time Life or People mag portraits… 
• Crimson which is vibrant, rich, passionate, sassy & in your face!  Perfect also for seniors, fashion and individuals with strong personalities, flair & style.

New Baby Stuff!

• So cute, so I am collecting and hand making gorgeous little props and wearables (check out the hat in the photo, so cute!!!) for babies right now.  So if there is a new baby in your life and you want your teeth to rot and fall out because of all the eye candy you will be viewing, then pick up the phone… 

New Climate

•  The recent weather has created a rather chilly studio climate this month and so a new heating system was installed today.  It was just delightful to walk into a “balmy” studio while outside a blizzard was raging.  I may just spread a beach towel on the floor and bake under the modeling lamps of my strobes ; )

You may also notice the new outfit our blog is showing off.  We have moved to WordPress and I love it!  I feel like I am enjoying a long glorious stretch compared to the restrictions I had to finagle with before.  Still a lot of tweaks and loose ends to tie up but I should be catching up with my blogging soon (and now I will be enjoying every minute of it!)

And just so I leave you with some visual candy, here is a treat from last weekend.  Shows one of our new baby hats (made by moi!) and one of our new backgrounds.

Parents & soon to be parents, mark your calendars!
