Studio News… and a sneak peek for Josie {atlanta senior portrait photographer}

So its official. Two big changes. BIG changes! #1- I shoot Nikon. I made the switch to the Nikon D3s  about a month ago and while I had some maaaajor qualms about trying to sell thousaaaaands of dollars in gear, (news coming about that too) and then learning a new system… now, I can not express how great the change has been.  Since many of you have wanted to know WHEN we are selling the Canon gear, I am going to give you guys a heads up. We have held onto it as we transitioned (to make sure we knew the Nikon gear inside and out), and now that its official -  We plan to sell the Canon stuff REALLY SOON. We still need to transition Holly (our associate). Possibly the week after next we will be ready to part with ALL of it. But for now, here is a list of all that we have. If you are interested- make an offer to info@brandelynlee.com. If you want any of this stuff NOW, let us know… we may be willing to go ahead and part with some of it now)

Southern Weddings Feature | Chris + Shanda

Some of you may remember the fabulous Chris and Shanda and their gorgeous wedding from last Fall at Villa Serena. I was excited to discover the awesome Lindsey over at Southern Weddings Magazine decided to feature Chris and Shanda’s wedding on their site. Part One and Two Brides, scoot over there NOW. Be prepared to be OVERWHELMED at all the inspiration you will find. But don’t stop there, you  MUST pick up a copy of the magazine at your local newstands. NO, they didn’t pay me to say that. I just really think its awesome. The first time I looked at the magazine I think I seriously got high blood pressure because I got so excited and inspired. I wanted to divorce Chad and marry him all over again JUST so I could have a real southern wedding!

Published | expectant mother’s guide

Expectant Mother’s Guide asked for submissions for their spring cover a few months back. I submitted, they chose and I kinda let it slip my mind. But I got the email this morning that it was out!
This is Suzanne, you may remember her and Wade from their maternity session last fall.
Here is the cover…. yaaay!
Photobucket

If i am not misquoting- I believe these are scattered in doctor’s offices all around and I am not really sure where you can pick up a copy! I will update with that information soon! It seems like a great publication. I loved stuff like this when I was pregnant. If I saw a magazine pertaining to pregnancy I was all over it! Anyway… just thought I’d share!
