Website under construction!

Yay! We are finally getting somewhere with our new website! We decided to go with bright, vibrant colors that reflect what we look for in everything that we photograph. Life should be full of color. Life should be full of brightness and sunshine :) It's so exciting! I love it that this year my assistants have some GREAT stuff to add to the site. They are so great :) Check out www.saratafoyaphotography.com

New Website Coming Soon!

Just started on the beginning stages of our new website! It's going to be www.saratafoyaphotography.com . I know it's totally UNoriginal but I wanted something similar as to not confuse people with my lastname change and things like that. It will hopefully be up and almost completed by mid January. And you know I'll definitely blog ALL about it! The purpose of another site is for weddings. We LOVE weddings. They are so much fun! I love personally working with brides and planning their special day. In fact...mine is exactly 99 DAYS AWAY! YAY! We're down to two digits! This new site will have more galleries...which means more images and more information and more of EVERYTHING! So excited!

Mexico Here We Come!



Josh and I FINALLY put our deposit down...we're going to Mexico, baby! WOO HOO! It's going to be great! We're staying at a beautiful all-inclusive resort on the beach of the Playa Del Carmen in the Riviera Maya. I've been near here with my family once a LONG time ago when I was 16 but haven't been back since. It'll be so much fun just going as a couple. Our room is tight! We have a jacuzzi and a balcony and it's huge! So much fun...can't wait! We did a honeymoon registry to help pay for the fun things to do in Mexico outside of our resort. If you'd like to contribute, let me know! I'll send you the website to our travel agent. She's amazing.

Flower Power

So planning my wedding has been an interesting adventure. Let me tell ya, I thought I knew what I was getting into but was WAY wrong! There's soooo much planning that goes into these things! Especially if you want to pull one off without going broke in the process. I'm trying to decide right now if I want my bridesmaids to hold candles or bouquets as they walk down the aisle. I've seen both. Candles are pretty neat...and different. But if I do flowers then what kind do I get? And what's in season? And what kind of flower goes with which kind of flower? Ah! Too many choices...

Bridal Bliss

We are currently working on booking weddings for 2008. Here's what our latest ad looks like! So if you see it around...and you're a bride or know someone getting married...tell 'em to check out our website and give us a call!

FIRST SUPER SNOW BUNNY SENIOR OF THE YEAR!!!

Grace, one of my AWESOME assistants is finally a senior this year. She is not only a great photographer, photoshopper and friend, but great at being Grace. Her personality is so crazy, spunky and fun-loving. She's a great model cuz she's not afraid to be goofy and always ends up making me laugh. We were working in the office today and had this great idea that we'd take advantage of the snow! So off to the store to buy cute, colorful snow gear we went! Then down to a park. We had to warm up in the car a few times because my hands were going numb! But it was so worth it. We got some fun shots, and HEY! If you know any seniors or engaged couples who wanna come roll around in the snow with us, call us up on a day that it snows and we'll try to make it happen! (913.302.2007) It's a blast!

Family

Here's a couple of shots I took a few weeks ago when the weather was nice and the trees were BEAUTIFUL! These are two families I've known for a really long time and have watched their wonderful children grow up! Their kids are amazing and so much fun to hang out with. Thank you to these awesome families for everything :)

The Hammonds

The pastor at my church who is doing our wedding ceremony decided to do a shoot with his beautiful wife and super sweet kids on our first snow day of the season! It was really cold, but Josh and I and the Hammonds braved it out in a park close by. The kids brought their brightly colored snow gear and I photographed them all decked out. It was awesome, red noses and all :) Take a look!
Thanks Hammonds!
