Heidy's Quinceañera was a beautiful event put together by her sister and brother-in-law at the S<a href="http://scottsdale.hyatt.com/">cottsdale Hyatt Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch</a>.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/heidyalbum_0001.jpg"/><br /><br />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!<br /><br />This album was also designed in a storybook style similar to our wedding albums.<br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/heidyalbum_0002.jpg"/><br /><br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/heidyalbum_0003.jpg"/><br /><br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/heidyalbum_0004.jpg"/><br /><br />The complete design can be viewed <a href="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/slideshows/heidyherreraalbum/">HERE</a>.JeffersonToddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07222838850846858202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14962227.post-33574580909011902022008-08-07T12:07:00.008-07:002008-08-07T12:33:00.712-07:00We just received another one of our beautiful premium albums. This album was for Jocie and Trever's wedding at <a href="http://www.sassi.biz/">Sassi</a> in Scottsdale.<br /><br />Their names were imprinted on the spine<br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/jocietreveralbum_0001.jpg"/><br /><br />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.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/jocietreveralbum_0002.jpg"/><br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/jocietreveralbum_0003.jpg"/><br /><br />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. ;-)<br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/jocietreveralbum_0004.jpg"/><br /><br />Jocie and Trever's album was designed with large images that really showcase their the amazing wedding photos.<br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/jocietreveralbum_0005.jpg"/><br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/jocietreveralbum_0006.jpg"/><br /><br />And of course we stamp our logo so your friends and family know who took your wonderful photos.<br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/jocietreveralbum_0007.jpg"/><br /><br />If you'd like to see the entire album design it can be viewed <a href="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/slideshows/jocietrever/">HERE</a>.JeffersonToddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07222838850846858202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14962227.post-36072223679344938352008-08-01T15:27:00.000-07:002008-08-01T15:27:01.647-07:00There were definitely some beautiful skies while I was there.

I've passed along all of my general editing to my super fabulous editor, Sarah, but I really wanted to start doing some special editing for our portraits and large print pieces. So I decided to pick up a <a href="http://www.wacom.com/intuos/6x8.cfm">Wacom tablet</a> that acts like a digital paint brush in Photoshop. It's been amazing!<br /><br />It's definitely help excited me when it comes to editing images and it has allowed me to be creative in new areas.<br /><br />So, how many of you wonderful photographers have realized the wonders of tablets?<br /><br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/my_wacom_tablet_0002.jpg"/>JeffersonToddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07222838850846858202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14962227.post-28035171722379242992008-07-12T08:06:00.002-07:002008-07-12T08:06:00.485-07:00<img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/dogridingmotorcycle.jpg" /><br /><br />I believe this was the first time that I have seen a dog riding on the back of a motorcycle.

During the week I headed north to Santa Barbara, which is one of my favorite places to visit. I have a great group of friends whom are all wonderful photographers as well.<br /><br />We all went out to lunch one day while I was visiting. It seems as though the out of town guy is the one that brings them all together for events.<br /><br />(<a href="http://www.rickymia.com/">Ricky Mia</a>, myself, <a href="http://www.halbergphotographers.com/">Cheryl and Tim Halberg</a>, <a href="http://www.gobrett.com/">Brett Bollman</a>, <a href="http://www.davidjay.com">David Jay</a>, <a href="http://www.chrishumphreys.com/">Katie and Chris Humphreys</a>)<br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/santabarbaracrew.jpg" /><br /><br />Later on that night I headed out for some wonderful sushi at <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/arigato-sushi-santa-barbara">Arigato</a> on State Street. It's my favorite sushi restaurant ever!<br /><br />While I was walking to dinner I noticed the smoke coming up from north Santa Barbara county. It helped create a beautiful sunset. But it also helped create a nice power outage during dinner.<br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/santabarbarafiresunset.jpg"/>JeffersonToddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07222838850846858202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14962227.post-19892186459560935052008-07-04T15:24:00.005-07:002008-07-04T15:43:06.242-07:00<img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/veronicastephenalbum.jpg"/><br /><br />I (Heather) am not there with JT on the wedding days so it's always fun for me to see the photos when I start designing the album, and with this wedding, I loved how much fun all the guys had.

I remembered watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Network and they featured Studio Diner so we did some searching in Google Maps and headed out at 12:30am.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/studiodiner.jpg"/><br /><br />The food was perfect for a late night. I had the Monte Carlo sandwich because it sounded so interesting. It was a ham and cheese sandwich, battered and fried.

It's hard for me to send these albums to my clients because they look so beautiful and I really just want to keep them around to remind me of the couple and my experience with them. Here are some photos of Kim and Jason's album.<br /><br />They decided on an upgraded cover with two tones of leather.<br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/kim_jason_album_001.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/kim_jason_album_002.jpg" /><br /><br />A cameo image on the cover gives it a nice touch. This upgrade option is totally customizable and can include multiple images if you like.<br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/kim_jason_album_003.jpg" /><br /><br />We do all custom layouts and some pages include groups of images but my favorite pages are the ones that have one images spread across two pages.<br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/kim_jason_album_004.jpg" /><br /><br />Our albums include imprinting of your names on the cover or spine in silver or black.<br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/kim_jason_album_005.jpg" /><br /><br />And it wouldn't be finished without the wonderful JT logo to let everyone know who the wonderful photos are by. ;-)<br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/kim_jason_album_006.jpg" />JeffersonToddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07222838850846858202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14962227.post-73963571141971334012008-06-28T04:50:00.001-07:002008-06-28T04:50:21.046-07:00<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/89657159@N00/2617416855/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3109/2617416855_362caf3af9.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /> <span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/89657159@N00/2617416855/">Flying to San Diego</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/89657159@N00/">Jefferson Todd</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> I'm on my way to San Diego and southern California for the next 10 days.

For those of you who don't know, my last name is Pals and of course I get the "You're a pal!" joke all the time. So in honor of my name there was an award created at our store that would be passed from one recipient to the next. There were no real rules for when the award would be passed along so it was always a surprise when it would show up in someone's box with a little note.<br /><br />And in honor of my leaving I was awarded the JT Pal Award!<br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/jtpal_award_002.jpg"/><br /><br />The award always included an undisclosed amount of change.<br /><img src="http://www.jeffersontodd.com/blog/pics/2008/jtpal_award_003.jpg"/><br /><br />Watch out because one of you former Starbucks employees might just be getting the award passed along to you.JeffersonToddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07222838850846858202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14962227.post-35851504734633520902008-06-16T15:25:00.004-07:002008-06-16T15:25:02.198-07:00As I was busy packing for the move I was also able to enjoy seeing so many of my great friends before I left.
