BluDomain News

BluDomain lands in Colorado at 4 tomorrow.  The WPPI Convention was a huge success. We had so much fun.  Monday we will announce who won the iMac computer.  We hoped to raise more money as our booth was consistenly packed but it became to hard.  BluDomain raised $1250.00 for the Thirst Relief International.  We are so happy that so many people contributed to this great cause! 

P.S.  Why is Aundrea hogging all the spotlights with the clients?  It's because this was her idea to feature all clients on the BLOG and no one else wanted to take their pictures including her but due to this being her idea she had no choice.

26 Finally Launches

Photography 26 Launches

**  You are going to love this site!!  5 galleries, 4 text sections, the customized slideshow option (which is missing right now) and a contact page.

**  I love this homepage, very unique and beautiful!   Galleries displayed on the homepage.  So beautiful.  I also love the gallery thumbnails.  A very soft thumbnail look and as you roll over them they are bright and vivid.

BluDomain apologizes for inconsistent promises.  We didn't mean to keep you in suspense there was a tiny glitch in the code and we believe in a great product. 

Due to our suspense issues we are offering Photography 25, 26 and 27 (others listed in yesterdays blog) for $600.00 until Thursday at midnight.

We love the opportunity to put a face to the voice we hear daily.  Gosh we are having so much fun!

** The blog will be back on Sunday.  All 3 interfaces and slideshow presentations are being tested now.  Sorry to all of you who have written such convincing e-mails and begged via telephone to see everything on the sly  it's so hard for us all to keep secrets.  I'm so excited that I can't sleep hence why I'm blabbing to you all at 1 in the morning.  E-mail all photographers and creative professionals and let them know BluDomain is the place to be on Sunday.

** Have a wonderful weekend. Stay tuned for hot gossip from the WPPI.

The hardest aspect of my job… Teething children...lol

If not a photographer I would have been…. A Nurse I worked in an acute care hospital for 10 years....I have a nursing license but traded it in for my camera. :)

Best advice I ever received… Dont get into political debates with family just love em  and agree to disagree.

It's A Girly Day...  sorry boys.  I'm in that mood!

** Pro or con there's something sexy about a gun.  Fortunately, the only thing lethal will be the person wearing this Andy Warhol pink canvas bag around town.  I love the pop buttons that customize this bag.  I'm actually terrified of guns and am anti-guns but there is just something very chic about this bag.  Click here to browse

** I love these feather Russian gold plated cuff bangles. www.alexandani.com
