This is Angela (left) and Tiffany (right) of Fresh Designs. They launched this new innovative business last year. They are specializing in creative and unique floral and wedding design. I am always excited to work with new folks in the industry; especially creative young women like myself :). I have actually had the chance to work with miss Angela many times in the past few years. You may remember seeing pictures of Angela last year... I was honored to photograph her wedding in August of 2007. You can check out her wedding pictures if you click HERE and you'll see many of them posted throughout their website. Angela worked with Katalin Green Design for a large chunk of time in which I worked with her at many events as well. She really has amazing talent for floral design and they are both the most even-keel easiest people to deal with, even under crazy wedding day pressure and complications. I would fully trust my wedding day completely to these amazingly talented and capable women.
I did these portraits for the girls last September. It is kind of funny... Tiffany is like 8 months pregnant in these photos but you can't really tell. I did my darnedest to crop her cute baby belly out and shoot from a flattering angle (not like she needs it, but we were trying to make her look un-prego). At any rate, I am super excited to work with Angela and Tiffany in the months (yes, its true, wedding season will be here before we know it) and years to come. Angela and Tiffany are pretty much amazing and I highly recommend their services!

So I recently bought the latest and greatest Nikon D700 and Nikon 24-70 f2.8 lens. I couldn't deny myself its amazing low light capabilities and full super sensitive image sensor. The lens is also outstanding! Its the sharpest lens I've ever shot!
At any rate, I now have an extra Nikon D300 on my hands as well as a Nikon 17-55 f2.8 dx lens. The camera and lens are less than a year old and are in excellent condition. I am asking a killer deal for them. The D300 is $1400 and the lens is $900. If you'd like both of them, which is an awesome pair, I would discount them $100, so $2,200 for both (the D300 retails new at B&H Photo for $1,799.99 and the 17-55mm retails new for $1,229.99).
So, call me or drop me an email if you are interested:

Here are the specs for the Nikon D300:
