Last month I was contacted by Stephanie Boozer from PPA Magazine (the official magazine for Professional Photographers of America) and my thought process was like this: “Wait…what? Who is this?”. Yeah, exactly like that. She said she wanted to feature my studio in the March issue of PPA Magazine and wanted to know if I was interested. “Hmmmm. Let me get back to you on that”. REALLY? Of COURSE I’m interested! She scheduled a phone interview for an hour later that week. During the interview I talked about a mile a minute and I could hear the sound of her keyborad flying in the background.

As if that wasn’t enough, Jeff Kent contacted me while we were waiting for hours in the Tampa airport (delayed while coming back from SYNC due to the monster storm raging through the country!) asking me to do the “Goods Splash Page” in the same issue!

It’s all been so exciting these past few months…especially as I reflect on that huge decision to risk it all to follow a dream that has changed our lives drastically (in such a huge, blessed way) in these past few years since I left the corporate world. People dream about changing their lives late in life…and it’s hard. Most people DON’T do it because it’s…scary. And Risky.  And…HARD. But in the end, doing it is so worth it.

God is good and so faithful to us…we have dedicated our business to Him and He has in turn blessed us in so many ways. This fun little feature is just a cherry on top of it all and I’m so excited to share it.

Thanks PPA Magazine!

So excited to share that the editor of Sacramento Magazine’s wedding publication “Our Weddings” (see full article at that link) contacted me to ask if she could feature us on their blog! I had sent in photos of Tiffane and John’s wedding—they will also be featuring us in the magazine soon! Exciting…and a big thank you to them! :)

An engagement session to share!

Shane and Kasey are engaged and will be married in the spring! They were so fun to watch and photograph…I told them that the success of their photo session would be based on how much fun they could have together and from that moment on they relaxed and laughed and off we went to create some “moments” of their love on film!

The setting was a nearby quaint old town with lots of textures and character…lots to choose from to add to this morning session. The air was—cool! Always a plus.

Here is a sneak peek of a few from their session—more to come Shane and Kasey!

Ahhhhh….love.

I was REALLy looking forward to this engagement session with Tiffane and John and it proved to be a GREAT day! These two are business/city-slickers by day, and down-home country by night. Just a short 40 minute drive out of the city finds you on their property—seperated from the next home by acres of fresh air and farm land.

This session is a combination of contemporary fun shots, black and white classics, sun-flare moments and sunset romance. We captured it all and then some. We climbed fences, walked through waist-high wheat grass, visited the now-closed-down Sleughouse Inn, and risked our LIVES trespassing through a gate to walk down a country road (well…okay…maybe not our LIVES…and, well, I didn’t even climb over it…but I STOOD on the fence while THEY, umm, trespassed and walked hand-in-hand down a country path…all for the perfect moment and perfect shot!)…

A fun afternoon capturing and documenting the love the brought this couple to the decision of committing the rest of their lives together. I can’t WAIT for their wedding in September.

(By the way…did you know that our Wedding/Engagement site has had a facelift and is BRAND NEW!? Visit it here: Teri Fode Photography | Love Couture)

A FRESH NEW LOOK IS COMING SOON!

Yes, we’re known for updating our websites with fresh new looks often…probably my love of “decorating” coming out! Well…look for a fresh new look to both our “ENGAGEMENT/WEDDING” website and our “PORTRAIT” website soon!

And along with our fresh new look for the Engagement/Wedding site is a fresh new “theme” and branding for it as well: Teri Fode Photography | Love Couture. I love photographing engagements in particular and love creating a fashion/editorial twist throughout my couples work—so “Love Couture” just seemed to fit.

Here’s a sneak-peek at the HOME PAGE of the new engagement/wedding site plus a few photos from the COUTURE GALLERIES. Watch for a sneak-peek of the fresh new portrait site in a few days!

AHHHH…..LOVE.
