PASS: A New Way to Share Photos

Some of you may be wondering, “What on earth is PASS?” Well, PASS is an online gallery that offers a new way to share and download your images! As a client, you will be able to download all of your  photos instantly and will even have the ability to order professional prints and have them delivered directly to you! Ultimately, this mean a quicker (and more awesome) delivery to you!  On top of all that, you will get a custom app for your iPhone and iPad allowing you to have all of your images at your fingertips!  I can’t say enough about how excited I am to start offering these galleries for my clients! There is so much to love about PASS! Some of my favorite features include the ability to star your favorite photos and the ease and capability of sharing your images directly from your gallery to Facebook and Pinterest! It also gives you the option to share your gallery with your friends and family who can star, share, sign the guestbook and leave notes, AND order prints! It is incredibly user-friendly, and I am excited to not only offer my clients a new and amazing way to receive and share their images, but to give their friends and family a fun experience as well!


Aaaaaand, here is a glimpse at what the new PASS galleries look like on the computer!



Lastly, this is what the app looks like on the phone! If you click on an image, you will have the option of downloading it and saving it to your phone OR share it on Facebook!




So…what do you guys think?! I can’t wait to share more about it in the future! In the meantime, if anyone has any questions…leave a comment below or shoot me an email at missywhitfield@gmail.com!

Until next time,

Giant Yellow Birds and a Bridal Show


Wow!  What and amazing day!  Cassey (my awesome 2nd shooter and PR Guru) and I had so much fun at the Bartlesville Spring and Bridal Show today.  The Bridal Show was held at the Hilton Garden Inn in historic downtown Bartlesville, Oklahoma.  We met with some adorable brides-to-be and look forward to working with them in the near future!

Here's the slideshow we featured at our booth, to show our photographic voice.

So let's get to the matter of the Giant Yellow Birds...........Cassey and I thought it would be so neat if we dressed alike to look like the perfect "TEAM".  Cassey found these matching shirts and they worked perfectly with our booth's color scheme.  After setting our booth up we hustled to the bathroom to get dressed up for the show.  We thought we looked awesome......and then we saw this photo.  EPIC FAIL! 

Lesson learned......don't pose for a photo with your hand on your hip, if it's going to make you look like you have "Big Bird's" wings.  UGH!


Until next time,

Oklahoma Snow


Had ourselves a little snow storm last night in Oklahoma.  Ginormous flakes.  Like I'm talking the size of pingpong balls!  Maybe BASEBALLS!  Ok, ok I might be exaggerating.  But it was really snowing.




I woke up this morning and looked out the window, yep there was snow on the ground.  And by 8 am..........it was gone.

Welcome to Oklahoma.

Tulsa Wedding: Abby and Brandon

One year ago to the day Abby and Brandon said "I do."  And now they decided to have a beautiful ceremony and renew their vows on their one year anniversary.  Awww!  With close friends and family Abby and Brandon looked into each others eyes and announced their love for each other, again.


With both the ceremony and reception at the beautiful IDL Ballroom in Downtown Tulsa, we had more than enough spots to take photos.


I love the rustic/urban/industrial feel of downtown Tulsa.


Abby and Brandon opted to see each other prior to the wedding.  I actually found a beautiful indoor spot that had plenty of natural light from a whole wall of windows.  (Lovvvvved it!) We decided to take quite a few of the photos there, because it was so stinking cold out!


Such a gorgeous couple!






Thank you so much for including me in your special day!  You are such a wonderful couple with a beautiful family and friends.  We had a great time!

Until next time,

Weddings: Same Day Slideshows

I just love doing same day slideshows for my wonderful couples! 

What's a Same Day Slideshow?

The slideshow is a sneak peek of the wedding day for the wedding party and guest. While guests are eating dinner during the reception, I quickly grab 30-40 of my favorite images of the wedding day and put together a slideshow to be displayed on my laptop.  I love putting together a slideshow because it acts as a conversation piece on the wedding day and encourages guests to have a discussion about the bride and groom.  ex.  Oh my goodness Jessie looked so beautiful on her horse, Terry and Lisa look so much in love....I'm so happy for them!

The results of these conversations are priceless. When guests see the photos displayed the same day, most often they respond by complimenting the newly married couple on how beautiful their day was and/or how lovely they look together. With technology being as quick as it is, the first wedding photos the bride sees are those she's been tagged in Facebook. And let's be real...dancing photos sometimes aren't the best reflection of a beaming bride. I, instead, offer the opportunity for her to see photos the night of her wedding and know everything came together the way it was supposed to.

No, the photos that are in the slideshows aren't edited.  But that's not the most important factor to me.....it's the experience.  Why wait a month to see a preview of your professional photos.....when you can see them the same day they were taken!  Experience!

Below are a few of my same day slideshows that were actually viewed at the receptions......no editing and no changing.  This is what I like to call "Same Day SlideShows in the RAW!"
