Nominate a deserving family! || Giving is Awesome

Lindsi Rian Photography has joined the group "Giving is Awesome!" It's a group of photographers dedicated to serving the deserving families throughout the world. There are photographers in every state and many countries.

Here's how it works: If you know of a deserving family that you think should receive a free full photo shoot and some awesome products, but can't afford it, write me a letter telling me about them! The nomination deadline is October 1st and the winner will be announced October 15th.

Rules: The family you are nominating must be in [or] be willing to travel to Chattanooga, Tennessee. That's it!

This project is all about giving back. So starting brainstorming and sending me those letters!!

{Please email all nominations to lindsi.rian@gmail.com no later than midnight October 1, 2010}

Golden & Johnson:Nigeria Sneak Peek

We beat a storm that was hitting hard on an off all day, but it made for some amazing shots!

More of Golden and Johnson to come!

New Products!

We're excited to announce two new products that we will be offering A La Carte!

The new Accordion series. The Accordion books are great gifts for Christmas or birthdays. They are even small enough to fit in a purse or briefcase to carry along as a brag book!

Business Card Redesign

Welcome our new business cards! MOO Inc. hosted a business card redesign recently and I was one of the people selected! These are what they came up with. I'm so excited about the new branding and I'm so happy to finally be able to share it with all of you!

Have you done any redesigning lately? If so we'd love to hear about it and see your new work!

We've Remodeled!!

Previously known as Cross Focused Photography, Lindsi Rian Photography is a new brand. David Jay has a saying, "There's always time to reinvent yourself." It's so true and it's something I've been working on for the last few months. Our photography has a new logo, website and overall look, but we still have the same fun spirited style in our photos.

Our new vision statement is "Serving life and passion with light." You'll see this reoccurring theme throughout our website, marketing materials and various photography projects. We are involved with various non-profit organizations, including: Photographers for Haiti, Thirst Relief International, Make a Wish Foundation and the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Donations will be given to these causes through the studio. If you would like to make a donation during your session previews, that will be available. We believe in serving others with the gifts we are given. Photography is my gift, so I want to use it in every way possible to better someone else life. Whether that is doing photo sessions and donating all the costs or going to another country and documenting the cultures there so we may further understand where we can help.

This blog is brand new, so please be patient as we fill it with lots of eye candy, fun videos and DIY photography projects! If you have any suggestions for a post idea please feel free to share it with me, I'd love to hear all your creative ideas.

Thank you for stopping by and continue checking out the new website...let me know what you think!
