Spreading the love

I've mentioned my dear friend Jessica on here before, but wanted to draw attention to her 

new blog, where you can click through to her website as well.

Here's a picture that I took at her wedding last year:

I'm clearly biased since she is one of my dearest friends, 

but I think she's quite the talented lady!

Speaking of dear friends, I'm heading to see the wonderful Stephen and Katie in Seattle at the end of this week.  I'll be back with lots of shots to share!

Carrousel de la Eiffel

I'll remember this night as one of the highlights of my trip to Paris.  The Eiffel Tower at night is simply amazing, and coming across a carousel to photograph just made the night perfect.  

I used a lensbaby composer lens for these shots, the selective focus feature of the fun lens gives the sense of blur and motion that make these photos look (I hope!) dreamy and surreal.

Full gallery is up!

My website has stopped being fussy and I've posted the fully gallery of images from Emily & Sean's engagement shoot.

Please visit www.korrileighcrowley.com, enter the site, click on 'featured galleries,' and voila!

Enjoy!

Emily & Sean

I had the pleasure of shooting my dear friend Emily and her fiancee Sean in the Arnold Arboretum this week.   The Arboretum is an almost magical place, especially on an early summer evening when the setting sun casts gorgeous shadows.  Emily and Sean are a great couple and their dogs Evie and Leo made the shoot even more fun.  I cannot wait for their wedding next year!

Below are some of my favorite photos from the day, look for a featured gallery of the whole shoot on korrileighcrowley.com soon.

It was like a dream

Website Updates!

A few new updates to the website for y'all.  I changed the splash page photos, added some new shots to the internal galleries, added some super-fabulous background music (Sigur Ros!), and most importantly posted my prices.

I'll most likely be doing a major overhaul of the site once I get back from Paris with all of bajillions of photos I'm sure to take, but the recent changes will do for now.

In other news, this is probably the busiest week of my life as I try and churn out about 30 pages of writing by the end of the week.  Add on top of that multiple shifts at the bar, paris trip planning and french language learnin', and a few weak attempts at sleep and you've got one bizzy bizzy girl.

I'm actually surprisingly calm about the whole thing, I'm trying to really just concentrate and not feel badly for myself, I did sign up for all this, after all.  Plus, I really can't complain.  In two weeks from tomorrow I'll be in a plane on the way to Europe.

The photo below isn't one of mine, but I just love the simplicity of it.  I have it as my desktop background to remind myself to get to work so I can inch closer to my vacation....

It was a very good day.

I fed off of the sunshine today.  

I slept in, listened to some great music, hung out with my two favorite J-schoolers, read in the sunshine, took one hundred photos, and just walked and walked.

I feel great, and it feels nice.
