Professional Photos Can Help Sell Your Home

With more people than ever researching new homes online, you may only have one chance to make a good5 impression.

Take a look at the photos below to see how professional photos can help show the size and personality of your home.

We've posted a few amateur photos as well so you can compare. The difference is noticeable.

Senior Portraits: Amanda

A few weeks ago we shot some great senior portraits with Amanda who recently graduated from Traverse City Central. Amanda wanted to try something unique and pose with a horse.

This was our first time working with people and large animals for shots, but they were both great models. The horse's owner even had commands like "ears up!" to make sure we got some great shots!

Check out the results and remember that now's the time to get those portraits done for Senior Year!

Awesome Wedding Budgeting Tool!

After the excitement and exhilaration of the proposal wearsoff for yourself and your family, most people have one question- How much is this going to cost?

A lot of this depends on size of the wedding but when it comes to basics, that may depend on where you're planning the wedding.

Real Simple has a great too that shows the average cost range of wedding essentials.

Here are some screenshots of the tool

The mapping tool can be found here

The tool is powered by www.costofwedding.com and is built on survey responses from couples by zip code. Visit the website for more detail including prices for premium vendors in your area.

Hope this helps kick off your planning!
