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!

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!

      

I'm now offering custom frames and a Giveaway/Freebie!

Organic Bloom Frames

Presentation is everything, and these amazing frames are a great way to show off your beautiful photos!  I am pleased to announce that starting January 2011, I will be offering these frames. I have found a company that offers wooden frames that will compliment my photography in such a beautiful way.  I am SO happy to introduce a very fun, unique and beautiful line of frames from The Organic Bloom. ( www.theorganicbloom.com ) 

I ordered 10 frames for my new studio walls and can’t wait for them to come in!  I chose a variety of colors and mixed them with 8x10's and two 10x10's with two of them being double stacked.  With so many colors and styles to choose from the possibilities are endless! 

The Organic Bloom has many shapes, styles, and colors to make every frame absolutely perfect for your home. Each frame is custom built, and you can only order these through a professional photographer since they do not sell to the general public. There are so many options available to you, and you can create a beautiful work of art by adding one of your photos to a frame by creating them with the use of stacking. You can get a single frame, a double stack, or a twin double stack. 

I am extremely happy with the look and style of these frames, I want to share them with you!  So here are the details:

1. All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post telling me why you should be chosen as the winner!  It’s that simple!  Becoming a follower increases you chances to win as well.  One winner will be randomly drawn to win an 8X10 frame of your choice in either the single frame style, or the double stack style, and you get to choose the colors!  There are so many colors available, and the possibilities are endless when combining them.  This is my way of thanking you for making 2010 such a wonderful year for Photography by Takisha.  A winner will be drawn on February 1, 2011! 
2. You can also double your chances of winning if you “like” my Facebook fan page, as well as post something on your own Facebook wall telling everyone to come view and "like" my page.
