Hope Bray Photography is here!!!

Dear friends & family,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support of Blink Photography!!! The launch of Blink went better than I could have ever hoped thanks to you! Because of the increase in business & need for a more professional look, I have decided to upgrade my website. My new name will be Hope Bray Photography & my new website is definitely more user friendly for me as well as my clients. I have had a lot of wedding inquiries lately. If there is a date that you have in mind for your wedding then please do not hesitate to email or call me ASAP. I am definitely willing to travel for weddings & I am now booking for all 2009 weddings. Word of mouth is how my business has grown so fast. If you think that you know someone who would be interested in booking a newborn, kiddo, family, engagement, bridal session, or wedding then please do not hesitate to forward them this email & website link. I hope everyone is doing well & wish you all a Happy New Year!!! Thank you for all of your support!

a perfect signoff...

Okay.. here it is.. my next to last official posting on this website before I launch my new website!! YIPEEE!! I am so glad that I am posting this shoot as my official signoff  b/c I feel like I can really go out with a bang. I am flipped over the way this shoot turned out! This is the sweetest mom/daughter shoot ever!!! It definitely made me so thankful for my little girl, Ellison (ironically this precious little girl's name is ellison too!) Anyhow, for those of you who have princesses of your own, look out... this will melt your heart... :) Okay... stay tuned... my next posting will be my official last on this site. It will include the link to my new website & feature an absolutely gorgeous wedding that I shot in charleston over Christmas. Bye Bye Blink!

nadlers in the neighborhood...

I really think this was family #7 that I have shot in the same neighborhood & they have all been fantastic to work with! The Nadlers were no exception! One of the things that I loved the most was that their kids were exactly the same age as mine & it made me feel right at home when I was working with them:) CUTE CUTE, CUTE is all I have to say!! 

a day at the farm...

whew!! I feel like it has been AGES since I have actually posted a shoot. I took some well-needed time off during christmas to be with my husband & kids but I am really glad to be back in business! These next pictures are from an all-day shoot that I did in columbia, sc in early december. A friend of mine from college arranged to do it at a horse farm & there were 7 families that came throughout the day to have their pictures taken. The weather started out foggy & freezing (which made for some very cool pictures!) By then end of the day it was sunny & beautiful which made for a good variety of pictures. Each shoot was very unique... you almost would not have known we were at the same farm in all of the shoots. Although it took me a while to post these I think it was well worth the wait:) Stay tuned for some very cool things coming in 2009 including some brand new equipment & a new name & website!!! Details coming soon...:)
