Sienna’s Album

by Cheryl on February 21, 2007

Lately I have really been getting into designing albums, I put together my husband Tim’s sample album, and I had a blast working on Sienna’s little 5×5 coffee table book. Here are some of my favorite pages from her book.




This book just arrived the other day, it was absolutely adorable! I was so excited to be able to hand it off to Sienna’s mom. Albums are so much fun and such a great keepsake to have around. My favorite thing in the house right now is our engagement book that we used as our guest book at our wedding :). Thanks to all of you who signed it and made it so special!

Here is Sienna’s entire album

I love photoshop!!

by Tim and Cheryl Halberg on February 20, 2007

Check out this before and after of a picture I editted for my sample album!

I don’t usually end up doing a ton of photoshop to my pictures. But, seeing as this was going to be printed at 12″x24″ I felt that cleaning it up just a little bit would really add to things! (I have the print here and let me tell you, wow!!!)

Wow!!! My 2007 Sample Album ROCKS!!!

by Tim and Cheryl Halberg on February 19, 2007

I just got the prints in from my photo lab for my sample album and everything looks AMAZING!!!!

This album is going to be HUGE!! Can you say, “Two Volume”!!!! The album is 74 sides or 148 pages!!

You can see the slideshow of the entire album by clicking here!

(edit)
Man… I was trying to keep it a secret, but I’ve been getting a bunch of emails asking me who designed my album… Well, my BEAUTIFUL and talented wife did!! Cheryl May Halberg (we just processed the paperwork this week to finalize her getting her named changed… I think today at the bank was the first time she had to sign “Halberg” and she did it better than I do!)

Sienna’s portraits in Santa Barbara

by Cheryl on February 19, 2007

I recently had the priviledge of photographing Sienna. She was so precious and sweet! I had a blast capturing all of her little expressions. Here are a few of my favorites from her day:







Her mom ordered the most adorable little 5×5 coffee table book from me, and I’ll be sharing that with you soon… but for now you can click here to see her entire session :).

It’s official!

by Cheryl on February 16, 2007

I finally changed my name to Cheryl May Halberg!! (previously Cheryl May Knowlton).

Being newly weds Tim and I had no idea what we had to do to get my name changed! We asked around to a bunch of our friends and at first we thought we simply had to wait till we received our marriage license in the mail! But we couldn’t be any more wrong! :) lol.

We found out then that we were supposed to go to the Santa Barbara Courthouse to purchase a copy of the license. So this past Tuesday I did just that, along with heading to the social security office to get a new SS card and the DMV to update my drivers license.

As I left to go do all that I was dreading the long lines and rude people. But to my pleasant surprise it really didn’t take long at all! I must have hit everything a good time :). At the DMV I ran into an old Brooks Institute classmate Eric Distel, as well as a super cheery man working the camera. I think we all typically think of DMV workers as bitter, stogy old people who hate their job, but it was so awesome to run into a man who brightened people’s day while working at the DMV, what a blessing he is!!
