As you can see from our recent addition to the site, we’re really into Twitter. Cyndi and I have been on Twitter for a while now and really like it. It’s a fun way to connect with other people and you can even see what celebrities are doing. It also can connect directly with and update Facebook’s status at the same time!

If you’re not on Twitter already, you should sign up and follow us (Adam & Cyndi) to see what we’re up to (we’re pretty funny most of the time!). Also, for our clients, we’re going to start offering Twitter-only discount codes for our awesome products and prints (via Adam’s updates).

It makes editing 400+ images so much quiker (get it?)! Normally, that would take us about a week of heavy work. Now we are able to knock that out in a day or two at the most. 

Another thing that really helped was the album design part of the QuiKeys. We used to use some Photoshop templates and actions that would do okay, but we always had to tweak more than we liked. Now, Cyndi is able to burn through an album design very quickly. It fits our design style very nicely, letting us control everything very simply. 

If you are looking to take your images to the next level, I think you need to take a look at DQ QuiKeys!

The obligatory shot…

I miss the palm trees. You don’t see these in Arkansas!!

Cliff Mautner demonstrating how to shoot into the sun. It was a great seminar and made me think about shooting with the sun more.

The albums are 10×8 in size and are covered in beautiful book cloth which can vary in color and cloth type. We are even able to match the colors from your wedding. You can also get a cameo cover for your album that adds a nice touch to the cover. Our top three packages include an album, while the top package includes two 8×6 parents’ albums as well. You can view our new pricing guide here. We are also going to offer the albums  for children and senior sessions (with different cover options we are still working on). Here are some photos of the new albums:

The pages are super-thick and sturdy, just like the albums we offered in the past:

Be a part of history! Today I am participating in the first ever “blogathon” to raise funds for the through their eyes africa project. Please go to their blog and give generously today. You can make a difference to some of the neediest people on earth in a very unique way, and we need your help.

This project will be sending a group of well known photographers into a remote part of Africa that has not received any help yet. The photographers will be mentoring young adults on how to take pictures so that we can get a look at their society “through their eyes”. The funds raised from this project will go right back to the needs of these people. So, please go now and give at www.throughtheireyesafrica.typepad.com . They need your donations to make this happen. Remember, what you give will make a difference in the lives of some of the neediest people on earth.
Be a part of history. Be part of the solution.
Thank you for your generosity.
