Can’t Touch This!

Oh, that just cracks me up! The guy wearing the shirt & tie! Oh, it is excellent!
Blogging update: I’ve posted daily for June with the exception of two days over at the wedding & boudoir photography blog — one day, I had been out running errands all day, and I fell asleep at 10pm and [...]


I’m Famous on the Internet…

I’ve joked about being famous on the Internet for years now, and I’ve known many internet celebrities over time thanks to blogging. But when I took up photography full time, I thought I was leaving my “geek life” behind. It made me sort of sad.
Then, as time went on, my internet geek life and my [...]


June Daily!

My friend Laura has recently challenged herself to blog daily, so I decided to join her on it - my challenge for the month of June is to blog once a day. Now that it is June 1st, I’m trying to work out if it will be once a day at the wedding & boudoir [...]


Sydney & Chris - Married!

My dear friend Sydney came back to Texas to marry Chris, and Elaine & I had the honor of photographing their wedding for them. It was an incredible, wonderful day. I gushed a lot more about it over on the wedding blog, but I couldn’t let it pass without posting here too.
I first met Syd [...]


What a Beautiful Way to Start the Day…

My friend Sarah posted a link to this video on Twitter yesterday, and I finally listened to it. Taylor Swift’s Love Story meets Coldplay’s Viva La Vida by Jon Schmidt - it is *gorgeous*. Check it out. Wonderful!
(Although Mike & I think they cheat in the middle with some cymbals overlaid on the track, [...]


Stamped Logo Choices…

I’m at a crossroads in a decision, and the indecisive part of me can’t decide. I recently worked with Sara of Sadie Olive on redesigning the blog header for Christine Tremoulet. I love it. I’m thrilled with it. It coordinates with my studio, and makes it all feel so tied together. Thing is, we did [...]


Everyone is Beautiful…

As women, we’ve all become too conditioned to not see ourselves as beautiful, and it is a sad thing. All of us - every single one - has a wealth of beauty. Most of us have just taught ourselves to ignore it and only pick on our own faults.
I have discovered an amazing power when [...]


I Missed the White, and I’m Feeling the Love…

I missed the plain, simple white design of fabulousness by Derek Powazek. So I switched back. The other one was pretty and colorful, but this one just feels like a better gathering of all my web stuff in one place.
I’m going back to blogging here when I post photos on the wedding photography and the [...]


On Kinnearing…

I still remember when the Yarn Harlot posted her first attempts at Kinnearing on her blog - but I had no idea it had gone so far:

Most excellent!


Beautiful Tube Photos Inspire Me…

I found this site the other day, and then forgot about it until I saw it in Pixeldiva’s “Things I Find Interesting” post. Then I realized, I should write more about it.
New Perspectives of the London Underground
These photographs amaze me. Something so simple, so everyday and common place probably for the photographer, captured so perfectly. [...]


The Cult of Done Manifesto…

Oh goodness. How I needed to read this today.
The Cult of Done Manifesto (from Bre Pettis.)
There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
There is no editing stage.
Pretending you know what you’re doing is almost the same as knowing what you are [...]


My Former Co-Worker?

I think I may have worked with this guy. Actually, I’ve worked with several variations of him.
I love the fact that I don’t work with people like this any more…
Speaking of which, I’m having a Grand Opening at the studio next week! Come on out and join me - it should be lots of fun!
When:
March [...]


Greetings from Las Vegas!

After a two hour delay - meaning I landed in Las Vegas after midnight Houston time - I’m here now for the annual WPPI convention. (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International.) My friend Corey scored a sweet deal on a suite at the MGM Grand several months ago, and she offered to let me split the [...]


Boudoir Photography *IS* Cool!

Just spotted this article on MSNBC about boudoir photography being an awesome gift to give someone or to empower yourself, and it is so very, very true! I’ve had clients of all shapes, sizes, ages - married, single, engaged, just dating. Some do it for themselves. Others do it for their special someone in their [...]


Change is a Lovely Thing…

People have commented about not reading my blog because my Twitter updates showed up here, and there weren’t many regular posts. I can understand, especially if you follow me on Twitter already. But at the same time, I wanted an archive of my posts.
The compromise? They still show up here on BigPinkCookie.com, and you can [...]


Embracing Change in a Fast Moving World…

Things happen at an amazingly fast pace these days. Something happens, someone makes a video, sticks it up on YouTube, before you know it a meme has been born, and it is remembered for a long time afterwards.
(If you don’t care about all this business stuff - watch the video. It is pretty awesome.)
As photographers, [...]


January? Where Did You Go?

Oh my goodness, this month has again just flown by. Remember when we were little kids, and each month just seemed to drag on fooooorrrreeeeeeeever? Clearly, that is no longer the case.
There have been big changes in the world around us. The US has a new president. I didn’t like George W. Bush when [...]


The Final Days…

There is a video going around Facebook right now with a David Letterman Top 10 about Things We’ll Miss about Bush. Poking around YouTube looking for it, I realized that it is actually part of a White House Correspondent’s video. (It aired originally in front of Bush, making it even more awesome.)
Of course, seeing that [...]


Word to Your Mother…

I’ll ‘fess up. I sort of love Ice, Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. Cheesy? Yes. But it is still fun to sing along with. Or rather, in my case, to try to sing along with. Kymberlie & Mike can tell you — I only know the emphasis words throughout the song.
I guess I’ll never be [...]


Wow, is it 2009 already?

How did that happen? I swear 2008 just ZOOOOOOMMED past me, with a flurry of a whooshing sound and *bam!* (sonic boom), it was gone.
That said, it was a pretty big year for me, especially business wise. Yes, it seems like lately my life is primarily about my business, and my business is my life. [...]
