So Excited!

I'm so excited to be hosting the Simple Studio blog this week! Especially now that it's all new and improved (and oh so fancy!). My name is Elisha Snow and I've been with Simple Scrapbooks for over five years now. Can you believe it? I can't. And it's been SUCH a fun job (and really, how can it not be?).

So here is a little bit about me. I've been married to my wonderful husband Matt for 4 1/2 years and we have two young sons, Ryan (3) and Kyler (1). They keep me extremely busy, but in my "spare" time I'm a professional photographer, specializing in family and children's' portraiture. I LOVE what I do, and hope that my love of photography shows through in each and every photo I create.

Some other of my hobbies include reading, playing the piano, doing crossword puzzles and SHOPPING. Oh, how I love to shop! I literally get a natural high when I find a good bargain.

Something that many people don't know about me is that I'm also a singer. These days I do solo performances in the comfort of my own car, and you can find me serenading my boys while they take a bath. But once upon a time I did perform often in Church and high school.

So that's me. Short and sweet (and petite). I'll leave you with a little digital scrapbooking project by yours truly. This is our official 2008 Christmas Card. I'd love to send a printed one to each and every one of you, but let's face it: stamps are expensive. So here's the good old digital version.

I'm looking forward to sharing more with you this week, and we might even have a little giveaway! (Actually, we'll for sure have a little giveaway!)

Oh! And if there's anything specific you'd like to know about me, my photography, scrapbooking or anything else, just ask!

Welcome Elisha!
I am a big fan of your blog :)
Here's a question thats been beaten like a dead horse...
What are the best settings on a D-SLR when taking a photo of a Christmas tree (I like it to glow and have the lights twinkling)?
Too much to ask, huh? lol

Hi Elisha! Nice to have you hosting this week. I can't wait to see what things you have in store for us. :)

Hi Elisha! Adorable card. :)

[Christina]

welcome!! So glad it's you. That is a beautiful card, Elisha.

here are my questions:
a) exactly how do you pronounce your name? (I want to say it correctly in my head when I read it on here)
b) i know i've read somewhere about tips for taking pictures at home using something like white foam board? am I dreaming and if not, can you give us some tips on that?
c) if you were to recommend a camera that is NOT SLR (just not in the funds at this time), what type of digital might you suggest?

thanks! looking forward to your week here!
