AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am SO excited to announce the new look of Photogen Inc!

For the last 6 months, we have been SO busy at the studio to make Photogen Inc the brand it is meant to be! Last April, I decided to go ahead and hire a pro to do my re-brand. The investment was HANDS DOWN one of the best decisions I ever made!

I want to give a HUGE thank you to Aurora of Red Organic! In my search for a designer, I wanted to fall in love with someone and also have them understand my vision! Aurora was AMAZING to work with, very timely and made all of my dreams come true!

I also want to than Into The Dark Room for working with me so fast to create this BEAUTIFUL new blog! Now the identity of our new brand flows seamlessly and it feels SO good!

Not only is the blog updated, but there are TONS of new features that we want to offer our Blogstalkers :0)

UPDATED WEDDING WEBSITE - The wedding site got a face lift and some pretty new swirls!

FACEBOOK FAN PAGE - Seriously, you are going to want to be a part of this! Not only are there TONS of behind-the-scenes images of us shooting, but we will be running some SICK promotions and giveaways for both clients and photographers alike!

FOLLOW PHOTOGEN INC ON TWITTER - Our world is changing and this is the BEST way to stay connected with our amazing adventures and exciting things-to-come!

I am SUPER excited, SUPER proud and SUPER pumped to announce the launch of Rivets and Roses!!!!

Rivets and Roses is a new company by Photogen Inc created to feature the AMAZING work of Brandon Werth!

These are amazing... I think my favorite is the one of Ramon Tan (standing at the microphone). In one perfect image, it captures his gregariousness and generosity. It was wonderful having you there!! Thank you again.

Hello Eliesa and more importantly...HELLO ANNIE!!! My mom said she saw your wedding on Eliesa's blog. YOU ARE GORGEOUS! I am so thrilled that you and Eric finally tied the knot! I remember meeting him over the years growing up and what a fun loving guy he seemed. Laura, you look STUNNING. The tall blonde of the bunch! Your wedding looked like quite the galla. Mom and I loved the photo of you hugging your dad. What a beautiful day you had! I just got married almost two months ago (Look back to the "snyder" wedding and you can see it) Eliesa did our photos as well. She is SO FANTASTIC! And what a wonderful woman (and team) to work with. We hope to use her again professionally soon for Chriostopher's work. Your dress is stunning and so is your hair. I hope you two love birds have a chance to enjoy this special time before you hit the real world again....congrats and you have our deepest Thaemert best wishes!

I love film. I know, I know, you already know this, but SERIOUSLY - I LOVE FILM!

Why do I love it so much? First, it's easy and as much as we think digital photography saves us time, I honestly think it is the other way around. Secondly, it's authentic and real. Nothing is photo-shopped or overly post-processed. It just IS. Lastly, the overall feel that a film image has is much different than digital will ever be. It's not better or worse, it is just different and I am in LOVE!

Here are some shots from my Holga camera from the Snyder and Tousley weddings!
