Sandra + Eric's Guestbook

Sandra and Eric's Guestbook just shipped out today. They're going to love it!


The cover has an image from Imperial Beach on Coronado, CA.


Inside are pictures from their entire session in San Diego, CA. Some from Balboa park, others from downtown.


There is still plenty of room for wedding guests to leave their wishes on these beautiful pages.

Thick pages will help ensure that this book lasts a long time.


Here is a close shot of the textured paper which is easier to write on then the smooth paper that is typically used.


You can view the entire guestbook design HERE.

Nastia Liukin Won Gold

Nastia Liukin Won Gold, originally uploaded by Jefferson Todd.

I don't know what you guys were doing tonight but I was stuck to my TV all night long watching the All Around Gymnastics competition. It was awesome to see Nastia Liukin take gold and Shawn Johnson take silver!

Sorry for the bad camera phone photo but I'm not in China which is where I would have rather been.

Its back to swimming tomorrow night.

My New Baby Sister

Yup, that's right! I have a new baby sister. My dad and step-mom had little Anna Marie Pals on July 19th at 2:54am. She weighted in at 5 lbs and 13 oz and was 19-1/2" long at birth.
My dad sent me the following pictures.

Here she is!


Here is my dad holding Anna Marie


My dad, Kristina and my brother Darren


Anna Marie trying to sleep. It looks like the dogs might be barking.


And here are a couple baby bottles my dad worked on. It wouldn't surprise me if he tries to market these. Ha!


I'll get to see her later this month for the first time while I'm in Arizona.

Website Updates - More Product Information!

If you've been to our site then you may have noticed a new intro video featuring some of my favorite wedding and engagement photographs.

We just recently added a new Products section since so many of my clients are making their decision from a distance and I hope this will help you understand more about the great wedding products we offer.

The album information is wonderful as well since you can even view our cover swatches for both the premium leather albums as well as the coffee-table albums.

Austin's First Thursday Art Event

So this last Thursday was the first time I was able to make it up to Austin's First Thursday event. On South Congress Avenue (SoCo as it's known locally) the eclectic mix of shops stay open late and tents are setup for all of the jewelry and other handmade items for sale.

It wasn't quite the art event that I thought it was going to be though. Coming from Phoenix where First Fridays is full of open galleries and live art events, this was not even close to that type of event. But it was filled with many poeple filling the sidewalks to grab a drink and socialize after a day of work.

I found a few interesting things to take photos of though.

There are event posters plastered all over the place and these caught my eye.


This entire wall was filled.




I ran into Hey Cupcake in their Airstream. And I think I'm in the wrong business because they're costs of doing business can't be too much and they're charging at least $2.00 per cupcake until they sell out for that day. They looked really yummy! Maybe there will be a Jefferson Todd Cupcake stand coming soon featuring chocolate cupcakes with metallic silver frosting on top. ;-)


And at the end of the night Homeslice Pizza has a mean thin crust margherita pizza. But don't try them on Tuesday because they're closed and that would be a very sad moment.

Heidy's Quinceañera Album

We can also produce albums for any event including Quinceañeras. Heidy's Quinceañera was a beautiful event put together by her sister and brother-in-law at the Scottsdale Hyatt Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch.



Heidy's album is our coffee-table style which has different cover options and is printed slightly different. The pages are still nice and thick like our premium albums. Most photographers don't offer this quality on their coffee-table style books but we gladly do!

This album was also designed in a storybook style similar to our wedding albums.






The complete design can be viewed HERE.

Jocie + Trever's Wedding Album

We just received another one of our beautiful premium albums. This album was for Jocie and Trever's wedding at Sassi in Scottsdale.

Their names were imprinted on the spine


When you look at this book you know it's quality! The thick pages help keep all of the photographic pages from bending so that it'll last for generations. Remember your wedding album helps show your family history and our premium albums are a great way to ensure that your kids and grandkids will be able to share in these memories.




So now that the album is here what do you do? Go grab a glass of wine and sit down with your spouse to relive your wedding day. Although we do suggest keeping the wine and album separated. ;-)


Jocie and Trever's album was designed with large images that really showcase their the amazing wedding photos.



And of course we stamp our logo so your friends and family know who took your wonderful photos.

Summer Camp

There were definitely some beautiful skies while I was there. Here is a huge thunderstorm rolling in.


The old egg game of "Boiled or Not Boiled". Sorry to say that for these kids it was definitely NOT a boiled egg.



The camp band was great and I had a blast photographing them with the concert lighting.


















My friend Mikie had a nice Mohawk for camp.

Summer Camp - Talent Show Stars

At the camp they also had a talent show in which two students just rocked the house. Armani and Stephen did an amazing rap with the band playing behind them.

I love this photo of Armani!
