I was so excited to receive Heidi's email recently. Heidi, you see, is a newly engaged bride-to-be with a gorgeous sense of style. In planning her own wedding, she found the process so fascinating that she started her own blog, Unabashed Bliss. As she finds things she likes or hopes to use for her own wedding, she features them here. I definitely suggest you take a peek!

Hi Friends! It's been a busy week here at Joey Nicole Photography, and not without results! I have some very exciting news to share with you...

Last week, I had the opportunity to go to San Diego and attend a workshop with The Boudoir Divas. In case you have not already heard of these fabulous gals (Marissa Boucher & Kimberlee West and their team),  they are THE experts in the industry today. They have worked hard to bring Boudoir photography back and pave the road for the rest of us. They've wiped out the stigma of those 1980s glamour shots and replaced the idea with their gorgeous, classy, and modern boudoir photography. There was no doubt that I had to attend their workshop and learn a few tricks of the trade from them. I have been wanting to launch the Boudoir side of my business for some time, and ladies, it... is... time!

I am busy putting my portfolio together and figuring out all the fine details, but if you are interested definitely shoot me an email so that I can keep you in the inside circle. It can be the perfect wedding gift for your groom... anniversary or birthday gift as well... or even that once in a lifetime shoot just for you.

Keep it in mind, and I will keep you posted!

Here's a shot of me with Marissa (on the left) and Kimberlee (on the right) at our dinner the last night of the workshop...

Dear Jake,

Whomever says email is cold has obviously never received an email from Jayme. From the moment I read her first email, I knew I liked her. Words over Internet were bubbly... excited... eager... everything a new bride should be. She had me hooked. And when Jake and I met her and her fiance Jordan together, we knew it was a perfect match all around.

For their engagement shoot, we shot mainly around Pike Place Market. I never, ever get tired of shooting here. We got really lucky this January day with beautiful weather, which also brought about a pretty big crowd for Pike Place. We had fun with it, and toured around our own city like tourists. I felt like a Paparazzi trying to track them in the sea of driving cars and bustling shoppers.

Check out a few of my favorites below :)

Okay, I admit, I've been a bit distracted with a personal project the last week...

Remember my January 2nd post, "You Are What You Eat"?

It was my way of publicly coming out of the Paleo closet and sharing what I've learned on a personal level this past year about what we eat, and how to eat best. It was information I was so excited to learn that I just couldn't keep it to myself.

Well now you can find all that info and tons of healthy recipes on my new blog, Paleo Girls.

It's a joint venture between my sister, Shelley, and I and we're adding recipes daily and documenting our adventures in a Paleo lifestyle.

So, photography will resume as normal here. I have so many exciting things coming up that I can't wait to share. So stay tuned!
