Image Watermarks - Show the love

Facebook and Twitter have blown up to the point where sometimes it may feel that they are taking over the world. They each allow us to keep in touch with friends and family, worldwide. Finally we have a way to share pictures without constantly receiving that ‘over attachment limit’ message so often received when attempting to send pictures via email.

Many photographers add their watermark to images that they give you for online display. Before cropping out that watermark, realize that not only is it illegal but you are also hurting your photographer. Watermarks are not only a viable way to control image stealing, but also a main means of advertising. If you’re sharing your professional pictures online, you likely loved your photographer – so why not share it with everyone you know?




Someone always knows someone that is looking for a photographer, and that watermark or image credit serves as a great referral! Lulu posted her pictures, excited to share her first professional photo shoot that she’d ever had. She had no idea that a friend of hers had been searching for a photographer for an upcoming event. By mentioning Frozen Moments on her upload, her friend was able view the website for a company that she knew was reputable.


So next time you upload your awesome new professional pictures, think about how someone you know would love an experience just as awesome as yours.

FARMER'S MARKET WEDDING

About a week ago we decided to do some hands on research for one of our photo shoots. The photo shoot will be inspired by a "local" farmer's market. Everything from the from the reception decoration to the favors will be from a farmer's market. Most people have a farmer's market within 20miles of them. Luckily for us, we live near Lancaster County (Amish country/Dutch country). So, naturally, we were very exited about going to our local farmer's markets for inspiration and to test out the yummy treats.  There is so much fresh produce, meat, baked goods, crafts, candy, nuts and the list goes on and on.

Find out what days and times your local farmer's markets are open and visit!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

Happy 4th of July everyone!

What are your plans? Family picnic? Vacation? A wedding?

There's so many fun things to do and so many things to be thankful for.

Jason and I are on vacation to the Jersey Shore (between Cape May and Wildwood) with my parents. We are excited to see fireworks, craft shows, walk the boardwalk, lay out on the beach, boat rides, good food, and more! More importantly we remember why we have the freedom we love.

Thank you to those who sacrificed their lives, their families, and their possessions so long ago.

Thank you to those who continue the sacrifice to keep our country free.

GOD Bless America! :)
