New Year, New Blog!
Ah, it's that time of the year where photographers begin to tackle their "to do" list that grows over the summer while we are busy with weddings. And with that, I am launching a new blog! A bit more "friendly" in scope and I'm no longer dependent on an outside source like Blogger. So with that dear friends and readers (Mom, you too) update your readers, RSS Feeds and carrier pigeons to the following URL
www.kbimageblog.com
I'm still moving in and setting up furniture so please excuse the mess while I navigate through the new site's features.
This blog will continue to be live, but will not feature any further content. All of the posts and archives have been moved to their new home, so bookmark it and come visit!

Facebook Photos!
I have to admit after a lot of resisting on my part I have fully become addicted to Facebook. One of the things I like best about it is getting to "see" my clients that I haven't met face to face yet since they live out of state and, of course, looking through everyone's photos. And I'm tickled when people put their wedding pictures on their Facebook pages for everyone to see. I had a recent client email me recently telling me that while she would like to put more pictures from her wedding on Facebook but that "It takes forever for them to upload".
Here's a simple explanation to that problem. The files that you get from your wedding coverage are huuuuuuuuge files. They are intended for printing out to a photo, not for web use. The photos you see on the web are actually low resolution so they don't take up as much space on web servers. That's why when you try to print out a photo from the web it looks pixilated and icky. When you try and upload those huge files to Facebook, it has to render them to smaller files; hence the long upload time.
If you would like web sized versions of your wedding photos so you can put them on Facebook or your own blogs with ease, I am happy to provide that for you. I won't put my logo or anything like that on them because that's just not how I roll, but you could, oh...do something nice like rant and rave about how great I am and link to my website :) THAT is how I roll, shameless self promotion.
If you'd like a low res copy of your files just email me an I'll pop a disk in the mail for you.
Happy Holidays!

Jared and Kelli's Wedding Featured in Milwaukee Magazine
I think I've had the latest Milwaukee Magazine sitting on my counter for about two weeks, so imagine my surprise while slurping my Tomato Soup with my kids for lunch on a blustery day I came across this article! I knew Milwaukee Mag was doing a piece on them because they asked me for the pictures, but I had kind of forgotten about it. When I came across the article I said "Hey, I know them!" and then "Hey, I took those pictures!" My kids think I am dork and were spectacularly unimpressed. In their minds, me learning to play Rock Band would be a much more marketable skill.

Emily and Chad's E-sign in book!
I just mailed out Emily and Chad's engagement sign in book and I thought I'd show you all a few pages!
An engagement sign in book is used at your wedding for your guests to sign in and leave you a message. This creates a keepsake for you rather than just a bland sign in book. The book contains pictures from you engagement session arranged with some negative space so there is plenty of room for notes and names.
I blogged about Emily and Chad's session HERE, and what is fun about their book is they added fun facts about themselves in the photos. I'm betting Emily and Chad's friends and family will really get a kick out of this book!
The book has flexible pages very similar to a yearbook and a hard cover. If you are interested in adding this to your package or purchasing it ala carte, here's the info:
E-session alone $250
Sign in book alone $250
Session and book (discounted!) $400
