We’re putting Maria’s artwork on its own dedicated site – www.mariawoods.com so that we can focus tobeadored on weddings and boudoir!
The site re-launch of tebeadored is still a few weeks away, but is looking great. We’re also working behind the scenes to create a better on-line proofing system at www.tobeadoredclients.com that should finally allow us to offer limited edition print sales direct from the website.
Exciting and busy times!

To think 2009 saw the launch of the website, blog, and recently the client access proofing system, we’re excited to see what 2010 will bring!

This post is really to say thank you to the many people who have helped us on our journey. We’ve made some great new friends, met beautiful models, wonderful couples, and friendly fellow photographers in the Bay Area.

2010 is already looking exciting, with fashion projects and several weddings booked so far!
We’re also looking forward to seminars with real inspirations to us – Yervant, Jerry Ghionis and Bambi Cantrell! Yes, a mix of styles – but we’re looking to learn, absorb and continue to develop our own hybrid style of course… Simply can’t wait!

We’ve become affiliates of lynda.com, and can’t speak highly enough of this on-line training resource. With digital, the photographer really has to be the printer as well, so Photoshop skills are paramount. With this in mind, I’ve been reminiscing lately about some early fashion work I did back in the UK (I need an RZ67 again!). This was printed by Terry Cryer, who was simply the best B&W printer of his time. Check out his work and bio – quite a life!

We wish you all the very best for 2010!
