Honest Abe -- WischDesigns

One of the funniest Halloween costumes I've ever seen featured one of these kiddos....

Can you guess which one dressed up as Abe Lincoln?  Haha...I still get to laughing thinking about it.  :)

Thanks for coming to see me and spending a few chilly minutes outside.  I'll let you know when your gallery is ready.  Honest! :)

 

Is There an App for That? Introducing Go Gallery!

I've been trying to find a way to make my client's photos more mobile for some time now and I think I've found it!  I'm so super excited to share this!!

For iPhone/iPad/iPod & Android users, you can now download high resolution photos onto your phone, creating an "app" that you can share with others and view offline. (I'm not sure about the Blackberry OS, but I am looking for a Windows version to be up and running soon.)  You don't have to be on-line & you can show off your cuties right from your phone!

To give you an idea of how it works, I've created a trial "Go Gallery" called "Blooms".  It has a bunch of flowers photos I took this summer.  Nothing special, but a way to try it out. 

First, let me show you some screen shots from my iPhone.  Your Go Gallery will make a button on your screen, appearing as an app.  Here's what the Bloom Go Gallery looks like on my phone:

Yep...right there next to that Angry Bird.  Haha!

So when I open that, I get all the images in my gallery together.  I can open one of those and it fills up my screen in perfect resolution.  Like this:

I can be in the middle of a remote part of Africa and share my Kansas flowers with a hippo.  The chances of that happening are slim, but I'm ready just in case! :)

The first time you click the link, it helps to be on a WiFi connection, but it's not necessary.  It will just take a little longer to download.  Also, I recommend opening the link on your mobile device.  You can open it on your computer, but it just looks like a bunch of pretty flowers & then you have to figure out how to send it to your phone.

So....try it out and let me know what you think.  I've asked a few customers to give it a run and so far everyone has been pleased with it.  But I can't improve on it if I don't have feedback, so let me know.

Here's the link.  Again, it works best when opened on your mobile device with a WiFi connection.  If you'd like to try it and want me to email you the link, I'll be happy to.  Just send your address to me at wischdesigns {at} rainbowtel {dot} net.  Remember, this is made for iPhone/iPad/iPod & Android mobile devices at this time.  If you're having trouble downloading, make sure you device falls into that category. 

And yes, there is now an app for that! :)

 

Words to Live By Wednesday

One of the perks of my other job is that every now and then, I get to be a part of an amazing day where speakers actually motivate and inspire.  Monday was one of those days.  If you've never heard about Joe Coles, he's definitely someone to mention to your principal or boss.  As a parent, I'm very interested in his student leadership program & hope my children can be a part of something like that.

Being a former coach, he had lots of sports stories.  One of them he shared had to do with the advice that John Wooden's father gave him.  I loved all of it so much that I made a float wrap for the studio.  I thought it would be fitting to share those words with you on this "Wordful" Wednesday.  Enjoy!

Valentine Cuties! - Heart Day Mini Sessions

I had to share a few of the adorable Valentines that came to the studio for mini sessions.  (Note...Not all are shown because of surprises you'll get in your Valentine Box later. :)  I loved making those in school!)

Such Sweethearts!  Thanks to all for coming out!  Galleries will be up this week & then we'll start putting Valentine together....Yay! :)

O Brother? -- Kansas Children's Photographer

Happy First Birthday to this sweet little man!  He loved pretending to blow up the balloons.  :)

But he was a little lost without his big brother, who had to stay home for a nap.  (There are perks to being the birthday boy!!)

It's amazing to see how connected siblings are when they're not around each other.  It took a while, but he warmed up without brother around and loved having the place to himself.

Thanks for stopping in, and Happy Birthday!  Gallery will be up shortly!

Smartie Pants -- Kansas Children's Photographer

I love it when these little people are smarter than me!  :)

This Mr. Handsome knows everything there is to know about the Harry Potter Wii game, including how to move the nun-chuck.  He even gave me a demonstration.  Sadly, I'll never remember how to make the snake's eyes sparkle.

I'm also pretty sure I couldn't write my name this well when I was four.  {Love that new wall!}

Thanks for coming and playing at the studio!  There are a few more previews on the WischDesigns Facebook page.  Let me know when he's mastered that evil snake!  Haha~!

Hold On to Your Heart! -- Natural Light Photographer

Remember this guy?

Well, he's all "grown up" and TWO years old! :)

And quite the charmer, I might add. 

It's amazing how many different faces a two-year-old can throw out at in you 45 minutes.  All of them adorable, of course!

Thanks for hanging out with me at the studio!  Check out a few more Facebook previews!
