www.estherjulee.com

Finally got bludomain to put up the website after having to purchase another domain. I purchased the template in January, and it took them forever to get back to me and then another month or so to get it up. I am so glad it is up and running, though. Go me!!!! Anyways, here it is.

Introducing the new website:

http://www.estherjulee.com


TADA!!

It is still a work in progress, but I finally got all the color corrections done... so it is at the least, presentable. :) It will probably take another week or so to get all the images and the rest of the minor adjustments up. Seriously, I am so proud. It feels like 4 whole months worth of work, even though it was mostly waiting on emails.

I know it's been a while since I mentioned the Caribbean cruise... but I figure I should put the rest of the set up before I do the other updates.


















And what you all have been waiting for. Scott and Chryssy demonstrating booty shaking techniques and somehow all relating it back to photography. Love it!



I must say that it feels a little strange being back in Atlanta after being in Cali for over a month. I hate to admit this... but I'm getting attached. Don't worry, I'm not taking off to Cali, though. My work is not done here! =P

San Diego: Yervant/Joe B Seminar

Last Wed we drove down to San Diego to attend this awesome seminar with Joe Buissink, Beverly Hills celebrity photographer, and Yervant, one of the best wedding photog in the world. It was like a WPPI reunion almost. hehe Here are some snaps I took with my digicam. :)

Here are the masters at work.







And I even got to take home one of Yervant's prints that he signed for me. All perks of being a cute girl. Haha Junshien asked, and he got *DE*nied.



And what made the trip even more sweeet was getting to spend time with new friends and old friends. :) Here's some ATL <3 title="IMG_1623-Editx" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://xcc.xanga.com/9fcc601723c32191191666/w147228175.jpg" width="742">

Disneyland Session

Just got back from picking up food after our disneyland session. Of course, since we were going to be shooting in disneyland (Not recommended. There are way too many people there), we decided to go a couple hours early to grab funnel cake and take our very own cheesy sets of photos with Mickey and Minnie hats.

But before we left the house, we found a spot with amazing light and had to warm up our cameras by taking a few headshots. This is Junshien. The texture overlay is an authentic Mayan texture taken at the Mayan ruins. hahaha Since those were the only kinds of photos worth taking that day.



You cannot go to Disneyland or any other amusement park for that matter without having funnel cake or your experience will not be complete.



Saved the best for last. Yay for 10 second timer! haha Our Mickey and Minnie hats that we did not buy.



I've been having some problems with my color space on photoshop, lightroom, and my monitor in general... and I finally got it all calibrated and fixed. Thank God! I feel like I am off to a fresh new start. :) I just need to go back and fix some of my images, and my website will be semi up and running. Hope that will be relatively soon.
