To my photographer friends out there… Prepare to get your life back!

If you guys are still using Photoshop to design albums, prepare to be blown away by the amazingness that is InDesign. Don’t know how to use it? No biggie, here’s a free tutorial I made.

Know how to use InDesign and are creating your own layouts? I’m not kidding you when I say you can lay out an album in a quarter of the time with my templates.

…and here’s the best part…. THEY’RE 20% OFF!

But don’t just take my word for it…

Design an album in less than an hour
“I’ve designed more albums in the last two days than I am generally able to get done in two weeks – no lie!” –Jen Bebb

Interactive InDesign tutorial included
“Your tutorial is, hands down, one of the best tutorials out there for any product!” –Tira Young

Make changes in minutes
“I recently had a bride request changes. I had them sent back to her five minutes later!” –Mandy Paige

Much faster than Photoshop
“My old workow in Photoshop was tedious and painstaking. I dreaded designing albums and the revisions were even worse. I LOVE these templates! Now, I’m cranking my albums out in no time.” –Lindsey Joy

Use promo code BF20OFF at checkout to get 20% off. Offer ends tonight at midnight!

Sending love and high fives your way friends! Oh, and Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Ryan :: Second Street Creative

10.04.12

If you’re self employed in the service industry and don’t have a photo of yourself on your website, you’re doing your business a disservice. So, fix it!

….I mean, just my 2¢.

Here is Ryan’s. He’s handsome and talented… not necessarily in that order.Need branding? He’s your man.

Oh, and while I’m on the topic… I don’t know how many websites I’ve visited that don’t list where they are located. So, fix that too.

K. That’s all from me… for now!

PS. I love our blog readers! Thought you should be reminded.

Here are a few images from our third and final bobbi+mike workshop for the season. Meet Kimi and Nick… They have great smiles.They drove up from Alabama just to be a part of our workshop… and we couldn’t have been more excited!This was only the second workshop we’ve done where we shot an actual engagement session (ie. they’re engaged and needed engagement photos… most of the time our workshop couples have been either already married or dating).Then we switched things up a bit by heading to a big ol’ open field.Kimi’s only request.She was excited when she knew I was taking it! My view. …and Mike’sHere’s my creeper statement of the day… I love watching people snuggle. I mean, after all… it is my job! On that note, I think when people ask me what I do for a living I will respond, “I watch and direct people snuggling… and sometimes I take a photo of it!”
Those freckles on her shoulder… they’re just like mine!SO damn cute! Btw, Kimi looks like someone famous… but I couldn’t quite place it… who is it??? Help me out blog readers! Nick? I think he looks like a young Tom Cruise… you know, the Top Gun era.
