Before the Storm

I was was sitting at my computer editing photos about 20 minutes ago, I looked out the window and grabbed my camera at just the right time.  The sky was so gloomy on the left side of my house and the right side was sunny which made for these beautiful untouched photos.  Just all natural light.  The  colors bouncing off the trees was awesome.  I hope you all like them.  Now I hope we don't lose our power!

 

The NEW site is live!!!!

     As some of you know or may have read, I have recently changed the name of my business, as well as the look and feel of the site.  I hope I can get all my followers and Fans to follow my site(s) once again.
     The new Willow Works Studio website and Facebook page are up!  I'm stilling working on my new blog and I will post it once complete.  The new website address is www.willowworksstudio.com  the blog will be www.wwsblog.com and, the Facebook page is www.facebook.com/pages/Willow-Works-Studio  I hope you all check them out and become followers or Fans!
     If you type in www.photographybytakisha.com you will automatically be directed to the new site.  I'll continue to use this blog until the new one is ready.  If you have referral cards or price lists from "Photography by Takisha" I will still be honoring them.
     Facebook wouldn't let me just change the name from "Photography by Takisha" to "Willow Works Studio" since I had over 100 FANS (455 to be exact... lol).  I hope I get everyone back as well as new ones.  Please click the "Like" tab on FB if you enjoy my work.  It's only going to get BIGGER and BETTER from here!
A big "THANK YOU" to all my clients and supporters for helping make my dreams a reality.  My biggest one being my husband.  The growth in the business in the past three years has been awesome given the circumstances.  Come May, I will have been doing photography full time for one year.  To celebrate this wonderful milestone,  I will be having a little party at the studio (that's another post down the road)! I look forward to seeing you there!

I'd like to annouce... Willow Works Studio

I am very excited to announce a BIG change to Photography by Takisha.  We will now be known as Willow Works Studio.  The name isn't the only thing changing.  We are done being lumped in with all the other professional and semi professional photographers out there.  Gone are the same old stale ideas that you have known through your photography needs.  In are fresh ideas and attitudes that are sure to please the most discerning of clients.  We have a centrally located studio just outside the historic district of Ellicott City.  This will offer convenience, privacy, and terrific backgrounds that are just a stones throw away.  Offering "outside the box" photography as well as traditional methods.  With the new studio I have grown my prop and backdrop collection considerably for all your photo needs.  For truly unique photographs!

Willow Works Studio is modern art photography.  You will start seeing more changes on the website, blog, and facebook.  For those of you that sill have price lists or referral cards from Photography by Takisha I will still be honoring them.  Anyone going to the old website will be directed to the new one.

This is a peek at the new logo.  What do you think?

Masquerade

Sunday night my friend Lauren (hair & makeup artist) came by with her friend Charlotte.  We let our imagination take the lead in these photos.  Lauren and I think a lot alike so it's great working with her.  We plan on having more sessions together in the future.   This will allow us to explore our creative sides and think outside of the box... there are no boundaries!  We both have a love for high fashion and the avant-garde.  Our next sessions will take place in the woods with my wedding dress.  

These shoots will allow future clients to get ideas for their sessions.  Lauren is also available to do your hair and/or makeup for our shoot, with enough notice.

          

Lost LOVE

I was lucky to learn about Faith and Angelo's romantic love story.  They were high school sweethearts who's lives had to go down different roads than planned.  Many years later and with the power of facebook they were able to reignite their love for one another!  I had the pleasure of photographing Faith and Angelo on a very snowy Saturday.  After back to back snow storms and freezing rain, it was quite an adventure wondering the streets of historic Ellicott City and trying not to slip on the many ice patches.  We managed and were able to capture some truly charming photos.  Here are just a few of them.  

 This shot was taken outside of the studio on my new bench!
