Dreams.

July 9, 2010

Monday is a big day over here. My favorite hair stylist on the planet, Leanna Murphey, will be on her own running the PRIMP Hair Studio full time. It just hit me. Full time. At the studio!!! Most of you have already met her since she’s been doing on-location jobs and weddings with me for a little over a year now. Isn’t she great?

So what does this mean for all of you reading this? If you’re not committed to a hair stylist (we’re not interested in stealing you from your stylist!) and you’re in need of a cut, or color, or style, or other service she offers, please consider working with Leanna. I’m asking you this because I know how much each of you have supported me as a new business owner. Well, Leanna has played an important role in my business as she’s partnered with me on sooooo many photoshoots to bring the best looks to the camera. She’s going to be wildly successful. I have no doubt. But I want her to feel the support of all you wonderful people. And she’ll need it as she walks away from a stable environment to something new and scary. Owning a business is NOT easy and I couldn’t have survived without each of you.

Thanks for considering this and sharing it with your friends. Thanks for believing in our businesses over here. Coming to grand opening. Supporting our venture. I’m screaming with happiness inside. I love seeing my friend’s dreams coming true! That’s including Kelli. And Meagan. Glad we’re doing it together. And I can’t wait for the blog posts to come on each of these talented women!

Big day for you Lela (my dad gets the credit for us calling her that). I’m/we’re so proud:)

To schedule an appointment with her, contact her at 402-3331. Or email her at leannamurphey@gmail.com for weddings and questions.

Grand Opening happiness:)

July 2, 2010

So…i completely misplaced my little G11 point and shoot that I had Melissa walking around with during Grand Opening. Found it this morning so FINALLY i can share a few pics!

First off – thank you thank you thank you to the MAAAAAAANY people that came out. I’d love to list your name here and thank you but there were so many and I’d probably leave off a name. So please except this less appropriate blanket-thank-you. We truly felt the love and support on Sunday. Kelli (make-up), Leanna (hair), Meagan (wardrobe) and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts:)

A couple quick and BIG thank yous go out to some absolutely amazing vendors we work with.

That food all of you were swooning over…it’s all Kathleen’s doing. She’s the owner of Katalina’s (on our street about a block down) and Katalina’s Catering and she’s super skilled at providing knock-your-socks-off catering. The look and feel was super important to us. She over-delivered. Thanks Kathleen:) Now just imagine a brunch with your bridesmaids on your wedding day…or rehearsal dinner…or birthday party…or baby shower…or backyard wedding… She’s your woman. Amazing cook.

ALL floral arrangements were from FRESH in Grandview. We love our friends at FRESH. Actually we adore them. Cory and Trace are top talent. TOP. But of course we wouldn’t be working with them if they weren’t:) Brides, if you want the most amazing custom floral designs for your wedding, these are your people. Tell them I sent you!

Also, so many of you keep asking about that amazing wall mural. All credit goes to a familiar studio face – Corey Rauh. He’s my second shooter for almost every wedding this year. And if you ask nicely, I’ll send you his info so he can paint you an insanely amazing wall mural in your home or your little one’s nursery.

A few I took at the start…

(ps – kelli and her friend rocked out this handmade chandelier a couple days before grand opening! All the sticks were from FRESH and everything was spray painted)

Of course I would completely forget to recruit one of my amazing photo friends to cover the open house :/ I should have thought of it. But thanks a million Melissa for taking these:)

Updates rollin in

June 8, 2010

Here’s a quick run-down for ya!

THE STUDIO:

It’s coming along! Looking great in my opinion!

Lauryn Byrdy Photography

Grand opening is fast approaching! June 27. I hope all of you will make it out. I’ll be sending the “official” invite via email so make sure you’re on the list! Please don’t miss this. We’d love the support and enjoyment of your company. It’s open house style so no need to stick around if you don’t want. Food. Drinks. Happiness. And bring a friend. And if you’re a bride or soon-to-be bride (you know that ring is coming!) stop by to meet some amazing vendors. I do mean A-MAZING.

The party is 5-8 at 433 W. 3rd Ave, Columbus 43201.

AVAILABILITY:

I’m fully booked until mid Aug. So sorry for those of you that were trying to get in for July/early aug shoot but fall is amazing too! I’m booking sessions through mid Dec so please, if you’re interested in another fall or holiday family shoot BOOK NOW if you want a choice of date. I managed to shoot 31 sessions (neeeever again) in Oct last year. I’m only taking 10-15 this Oct so if you really in, that month will be the first to go. Promise.

Dates still available in:

Aug (end of Aug)

Sept

Oct

Nov

Early Dec. – on a plane to the UK end of Dec so I will not be booking the 20-24 as I did last year. Please consider thanksgiving week/end as a great time for a shoot w/ extended family!

THE WEBSITE:

It’s coming! In the works! Will be done for grand opening and I’m quite excited. What you’re looking at right now (the site you’re on) is my blog. This will still be here. But the website will be a better place to go for featured images (my faves from all the shoots i’ve done) and more detailed info about sessions and weddings.

Here’s a quick peek at the landing page where you can choose to go to the portfolio and information site, the blog, or the food photography blog…

Out of the studio

May 27, 2010

Off to Charleston, SC for Kurt and Nina’s beach wedding! I’ll return with lotsa of amazing beachy pics and a rockin sunrise day-after shoot with the bride and groom. Wait until you see what we have in store:)

If you need me, you can email but please be patient. I’ll be out until late Monday then spending Tuesday prepping for consults the rest of the week including a full day of commercial work in the studio Thursday. You’ll hear back from me as soon as humanly possibly!

Happy Memorial!

Sometimes I’m a bad blogger :/

May 14, 2010

It has been a month….A MONTH since you last heard from me on here. I’m sorry. Really, I am. I mean to keep up – keep you posted on happenings and photoshoots. And I know you understand why I’ve been quiet but I still feel bad that I haven’t been sharing the progress with you. So here are some FAVORITE photo moments over the last 15-some days…

April kicked off with a chunk of commercial work. A loud and giggly, high-pitched-voice-chattery (that voice you use when you’re around kids and puppies), binkie dropping, cuddly, cheek-pinching, spit-up clean-up happening, ULTRA ADORABLE 4-day photoshoot with 37 kiddos…all under the age of 2. A blast. More details on that to come! Kara, our studio stylist, worked so so SO hard outfitting every child and pinning as they were running away from her. It was a fun challenge:)

Up next: a newborn-ish shoot:) Baby ABE! Love. this. face.

Then, came a photoshoot in late April filled with goodies. Cupcakes. I wanted all of them.

Then wedding season hit.

May 1 – Robyn and Rob’s simple family-filled hometown wedding. Fave pic of him carrying her across the cobblestone driveway.

_MG_2387 May 8 – Maribeth and Taylor’s loud, fun, energetic (and HUGE) Dayton wedding! Record was set for me – 22 in the wedding party.

_MG_4056

TO FINISH OUT MAY WEDDINGS: May 22 in Cincinnati for Mary Ann and Scott’s wedding, then headed down to Charleston SC 4 days later for Kurt and Nina’s seaside destination wedding!

Amidst all of this excitement, renovations are still being made to the studio. A designer has joined the team to help us create a fun and inspiring space to meet with all of you! We also have learned that Leanna’s (hair stylist) mom can do ANYTHING> I mean anything you ask her if she can do, the answer is always yes. It’s amazing. You’ll meet her at grand opening too:)

Here’s a peek.

shop

Our GRAND OPENING party is right around the corner! Consider this your save-the-date but the “official” invite (blog post with pretty stuff and an email to all of you) will be going out soon!

Sunday, JUNE 27, 5-8.

You don’t wanna miss the goodies, tour, giveaways and more:)

That catches us up to May 8. Still more to show but I think that’s enough for now.

I’m sure I forgot something.

Oh…right…I remember one thing. If you’re wanting to book for fall, book now. Summer has a couple open dates here and there. No weekends open. Fall is slowly filling right now so if you want to get a good choice of dates, contact me soon!

ANnnnnndd…stay tuned for more fun Lottie/Lauryn Byrdy Photography giveaways:)

We have an address!

April 16, 2010

Alright, I totally tried to drag this out but it’s been guessed already so I thought I’d just spill the beans:) I’m terrible at keeping secrets like this anyway…

WE HAVE AN OFFICE!

433W3rdAVe

And by “we” I mean: me. ANNNNNND… Kara (not pictured above) – super fab wardrobe stylist from NYC. Kelli (right, above) – diva make-up artist. Leanna (left, above) – not-a-hair-out-of-place hair perfection.

We’ve been rushing around. Signing a lease. Planning the interior design. Scheduling meetings (already!) and dreaming about a grand opening party to share the finished studio with all of you!

There are bigger plans still in the works but more that later. Maybe I’ll have Leanna guest blog that one:) We’re thrilled to share this news and can’t wait to have all of you visit us!

New addy: 433 W. 3rd Ave., Columbus OH 43201

Here’s a little tour I recorded when we were still in the search process.

Untitled from Lauryn Byrdy on Vimeo.

First off – I’m still an on-location photographer. THe studio will be the meeting and event location. Hair, make-up and wardrobe styling will happen here. However, we are also fully capable of shooting commercial and portrait inside. The place is huge and beautifully naturally lit. So if you don’t get great light in your home and want to have your newborn shoot here, we’re happy to have you!

And I know what you’re next question is. The answer to it, “YES”. Matt and I are still going to be in London England this January/Feb and in Portland Feb-May. I will be booking one wedding a month from Feb to May and scheduling senior, family, kids and engagement portraits to occur during the time we fly home that month (for only about 4 days in Ohio). We’ll be back here in May.

Booking for fall + the Nye family {Lifestyle Family Portraits}

March 22, 2010

I’ve had many calls and emails about booking fall sessions. Many have booked already but I’m assuming (based on the wild number of sessions from last fall) that MAAAANY of you haven’t thought that far ahead yet : ) Well, it’s not too early to plan it. I promise! Sunday thru Friday slots are still open, with shoot times within 2 hrs of sunrise or sunset. I’ll work on a date and time with you when as you schedule, as well as plan our follow-up call to discuss wardrobe (very important!) and location. I’m excited to see all of you again and meet some of the new little ones that have joined your family!!!

Now, on to the photos! Yet another fun session with adorable kids. I’m a lucky lady ; ) This shoot was in October near Galloway, Ohio.
