New Location....

Hey All!!

So I'm not really permantly moving... but I'm up in the cities doing some sessions.  I think it's important that I can move around freely without worry that I might not have the right equiptment.  I love using natural lighting!!!  I did manage to bring a studio light and also some backdrops.  Wish I had my trim though.... I miss it!

I am holding sessions for $40.00.  Includes session and a free CD with rights and edits!

Call my cell (507.829.2929) or FB me Kandice Mae Photogarphy page!  LIKE me!

Hope all is well in the world... I'm off to find new backdrops, props, and much more!  Wish me luck!

"POOF" Pillow

Hi Everyone!

I've had a lot of people ask how I did this square poof and how much it cost... So here it is!

Supplies:
*Fabric- Kind of depends on your size prefrence.  Mine was 38"x 2 yrd (3.00)
*No Sew roll of adhesive tape - you will only use about a 1/5th of it (6.00)
*Scissors
*Iron
*Needle and any color thread- I used black... because it was laying around in my home.
*Stuffing- How much is up to you.  I wanted to make mine really plush.  I used 4 old pillows in my home that I was going to toss due to their "ugliness".  So I didn't spend anything on that part.

How to:
Lay your fabric upside down and fold in half.  In between 2 of the sides place the No Sew tape.  I didn't pin mine because it wasn't moving around on me... but you could.  Then place the tape on the 3rd side but not all the way, so that you can have room to turn it right side in.  Also, you will have to shove stuffing in... and it's really a large pillow.  I had to have my arm all the way in there manuvering the stuffing.  I left about 8 inches open, but it's completly up to you.

Next iron all the taped sides.  It held very very well for me and didn't take very long.

Next turn it right side in, so that the fabric is facing outward.

Stuff the pillow the way you would like it.

Thread your needle.  Sew up the last couple inches.  If you are using this for photos you don't see this at all.  I've already used it and it's fine.  Also, I had missed a spot ironing and didn't notice it until I had it completely stuffed.  I sewed that as well.

DONE!!

All together, I spent around $9.00 on the pillow.  I have tape left over even.... LOTS.  For the next project.  And I spent probably around 2 hours on the whole project, start to finish.

THanks for checking me out~  Next project I'm working on, will be homemade BANNER OF FLAGS.  Online they run from 14 to 30 bucks....  I made mine for 3.00!!!

Have a good week everyone!

Lights! Camera! PICTURES!

Hello All!

So....  I get my lights this week!!  They are professional grade lighting.  It's pretty much the only thing needed for my new studio.  I would love to keep collecting props/accessories and also maybe getting more lenses, but for now this is AMAZING!!  I'm super excited to put them to use.  I have my daughters, Cheyenne and Lorallai, and then also my niece and nephew, Dylan and Ella.  I'm so pumped I can hardly wait.

We have soooo many trucks and tractors go passed our house daily.... hourly, but everytime I jump up to see if it's the UPS truck! LOL.  I will feel better when they are here :o)

Hope everyone has a good week!  I will be posting again later.  I have a project that pet lovers or photographers will LOVE.  It's called a poof pillow.  I made one for photography (infants), and literally had to bring it out to the studio the next morning because my cat kept trying to go on it.  It was hilarious, kept trying to jump on it and then would get swiped away.  He was so mad :o)

Happy Days,
Kandice

A New Begining!!

Hello All!!

I've began working towards being a photographer!  Still very ameture in this field, I studied Interior Design for 5 years.  I have learned and even speacialized in color, composition, and much more.  I have always been very creative.  I am a stay at home mom for my two wonderful daughters, Cheyenne and Lorallai.  I love being at home with them, but I needed an outlet.  It's almost impossible for me to do Interior Design where I'm located.  It's a small town where there are more designers than they really need.

So, through the years, I started to realize that I LOVE taking photos.  The passion/obsession started when my first daughter was born 3 years ago.  I started out with the most retro horrid camera, taking snapshots here and there.  Then I started setting up little photo sessions.  I would use a blanket for a backdrop, prop up the baby, and then try and find just the most perfect lighting (natural).  Now I have real backdrops and lighting!  I have already booked some sessions already, and I hope for more in the future.  I love using my daughters as subjects.... since they are pretty much the most adorable little girls ever!!
