admin — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 21:03:07 +0000

Things have been busy, and the poor blog has been neglected, BUT in the coming weeks I get to share some wedding photography, event photography, and a few secret projects I’ve been working on!

Remember, that’s just this blog, don’t forget to get your updates at the boudoir blog HERE!

And what’s a photography blog without some actual photos….. a sneak peek of what’s to come-

Dallas Bridal Show Loves Boudoir!

Wow! I am blessed how everything is going with the newest extension of Sheila Hannus Photography here in Knoxville, Allure Boudoir… (our newest photography office, located in Dallas!)

To read all about how the Dallas Bridal Show went, see more booth details, and take a peek at my fabulous assistants visit the boudoir blog HTTP://ALLUREBOUDOIR.COM ! Although the new office is not in Tennessee, I, Sheila, will still be your photographer. We are still a boutique business, just more convenient to more people!

Thank you to everyone who made the Dallas Bridal Show a booming success!

No more boudoir posts on this blog…

WHAT?!? No worries, this is good news my friends!

I am ecstatic to announce that I have officially started a separate boudoir business, ALLURE BOUDOIR! With our main office in Dallas, Tx! No worries, we’re still in Knoxville too (finally fulfilling my life goal to be in two places at once). SO, from now on all of my boudoir posts will be found at http://allureboudoir.com/blog. But, don’t be surprised if you see a few teasers every once and awhile over here too

Everything is still in construction mode (not for long though), I have a website coming, and all kinds of product info that will be flooding the blogs.

I’m also equally excited to show off Allure Boudoir at the Dallas Bridal Show this weekend, July 11 & 12. I have the honor and privilege of being the FIRST & ONLY boudoir photography booth to exhibit at Dallas Bridal Show. Come out and see the awesomeness!

So there you have it, now everybody knows why the blog has been quite. I’ve been insanely busy getting ready for the bridal show, and stocking up on boudoir posts to put on the new blog over the next week.

The blog post about not blogging.

Oh dear, I won’t say how long it’s been, although you can scroll down and see the sad truth for yourself, but it has been a dismally long time since my last post. So where did I disappear to? I’ve taken some time off, and as nice as a little rest is I can’t explain how much I missed shooting! So, it’s time to get back to what I love- pictures, blogs, and photo shoots!

You may notice you’re looking at my BRAND NEW BLOG (if not, you should work on your observation skills)! Things aren’t perfect quite yet, but I can be pretty picky so I’m sure it will be awhile before they are. I had so many great new ideas, branding, and website plans that got put on hold that I decided this new blog could be just the thing I need to get things started again.

With all things undergoing construction there are bound to be some kinks. One of the major ones is the unsuccessful integration of my old blog posts on the new blog. Well, the posts are technically here, but the images are not. So until that is all worked out you can always see all the old entries at the old blogspot. (You can find the link above in the menu)

Please note the new URL – http://sheilahannus.com/blog !! And don’t forget to subscribe!

In the coming days I have lots of amazing images to share! One more post from Nevada and then tons of great images from Paris, I really can’t wait to share those!

Here is Valen one more time, when we were done with her boudoir session she had about 15 minutes before she had to leave, so naturally we had an impromptu outdoor shoot…

Video From Red Rock Shoot

Dale Benfield put together this video of all us [b] schoolers when we got together in Vegas out near Red Rock. Thanks Dale for doing that, sometimes I get so caught up in shooting the “subject” I forget about everything around me really being the subject.

I realized two things from watching this video. First, I make a ridiculous face when I’m shooting. It’s like an extremly scrunched face with a smile added in, eek! Second, I should not where a bright green jacket when everyone else is wearing black, I don’t pull of “incognito” and it’s not exactly flattering.

Regardless, the video rocks, check it out.

Vegas Recap : Day 3

In general when you go on vacation you remember to pack your camera, and when on a business trip you remember laptops, important papers, or whatever it is that is relevant to work, right? Apparently when I go on a trip that is a business vacation I get a little confused on how that all works. I obviously remembered my big camera for shoots but it slipped my mind that the week would contain a plethora of social events and I should double check that the little camera I carrying in my purse has a charged battery, or at least bring a charger with me!

Seeing as I didn’t do either of those last two things, I had to rely on my housemates and fellow photogs to document the “vacation” aspect of the trip. So, thank you to those that have been uploading photos and tagging them on facebook, next year I promise to do better.

Monday morning Cailyn and I got dressed in our black and white and headed over to the MGM for the first day of the tradeshow to work the Shootsac booth. It never crossed our minds while working to grab a picture, or it might have but the booth stays so busy that at the end of the day our mouths were dry from talking and we just wanted to get out of there and put up our aching feet and down some water (or in Cailyn’s case, Cranberry juice).

So thanks to Chris and Allie who walked by at somepoint and grabbed about 5 seconds of footage on their Flip. This is a screen caputre from their video, which you can see on their blog. Let’s just say, I must have been really into whatever Allie was saying!

UPDATE: it has been pointed out that there is a spelling error in the following image, i’ve never won any spelling bee’s so i’m not surprised but i will try to be more on point when typing in photoshop!

After we headed back to the house and had found our energy again it was time to head out to the [b] school party over at The Palms. The party was up in the famous REAL WORLD suite. I’m not going to lie, I felt a little like a rockstar when we approaced the elevator and we weren’t even allowed on before checking to make sure our names were on the list.

Here we are (Maya, Pat, Chris, Allie, Cailyn & I) in the phone area. MTV did a great job filming the show, that space is tiny compared to how it seemed on tv. Photo by Candice KausHagen.

Here we are again in the official [b] party photo booth, with the addition of Cathy Crawley in the middle. I ordered this print and am anxiously awaiting it’s arrival, I have the perfect frame waiting.
