It’s not the men in my life…

… it’s the life in my men.  – Mae West.


Alex is so Dapper.

ALEX. He's so DAPPER.

We all know I love quotes… so in keeping with tradition I wanted to lead off this post highlighting our June QUICKTAKE:  DAPPER DUDES with a great and noble quote about men.  I didn’t know this was going to be such a challenge.  This lead quote is probably the most PG and fitting one I could find.  Because this Sunday were looking for youthful and lively men to show up at Buckhead Grand for our monthly QUICKTAKE… I get its implied meaning… I do… and I still like it! :)

Find your favorite dude and get him dapper for this Sunday… bring the babes (dudes and chicks) dressed in their finest for some fab and chic ‘in-studio’ shots!  Only $40 for 15-minute sessions… HALF OFF for three generations and only $25 for the lovely residents of Buckhead Grand that open their doors to ELP this weekend!  More details can be found here.

I planned on writing about some of my DAPPER DUDES… but got highly inspired (and happy) after reading many hilarious men quotes.  please note:  ELP does not agree with all of these (key word: ALL) though some may find their appropriate place in response to various situations in me and my friends’ lives.  I must mention… lyrics from Dude by Aerosmith were reviewed… very unfitting.  MORE unfitting though a song called ‘Dude’ by Beenie Man… funny, but unfitting.  Check them out (if you’re over 21 and need a laugh).

‘Can you imagine a world without men?  No crime and lots of happy fat women.’  Attributed to both Marion Smith & Nicole Hollander.

‘If it can’t be fixed by duct tape or WD-40, it’s a female problem.’  Jason Love.

‘I want a man who’s kind and understanding.  Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?’  Zsa Zsa Gabor.

‘If men can run the world, why can’t they stop wearing neckties?  How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a little noose around your neck?’  Linda Ellerbee.

‘Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle-aged men.’  Frank McKinney “Kin” Hubbard.

PLEASE PLEASE… if you have any GOOD and REASONABLE quotes about the goodness of men… comment with them below or send to fun@erikaleighphotography.com!  I’ll need a few more for this week! :)

As always… stay in touch!  erika@erikaleighphotography.com

go saints… really go falcons but hey.  I spent three days in Miami with good friends and good drinks and now I’m back hitting the shooting schedule… not without first watching the SuperBowl on TV from a comfortable couch/chair… not from Section 104 or any other.  Couldn’t have been happier.  Good Saints victory… and also… good google commercial!

love love… more soon… erika.  erika@erikaleighphotography.com.

dear blog…

I’ve missed you… again.  No excuses, I know… but here is a good excuse.  YESTERDAY… January 18th 4 pm-ish was like 12:01 AM January 1, 2010 for most… I wrapped up 2009 and am ready to start the new year.  18 days late, but HEY, better late than never.  Truly yesterday was the bless-ed day I finished up ALL my 2009 client work and am ready to get back to my usual January: BUSINESS PLANNING.  Attending ImagingUSA in Nashville a few weekends ago and am re-AMPED and ready to tackle awesome and fun in 2010.  It means new and fun things for erikaLEIGHphotography.  Oh, I can’t wait.

It starts right off with a bat with January’s LIVE PHOTO BOOTH special.  This wedding add-on, event showstopper and memory maker was MADE for erikaLEIGHphotography.  Two words mean fun, unforgettable wedding:  OPEN BAR  but if you had three words it would be LIVE PHOTO BOOTH.

Live Photo Booth

Book by January 31 for HALF OFF your very own LIVE PHOTO BOOTH.

For more information on this and all the other good stuff coming up in 2010 email ELP:  fun@erikaleighphotography.com.

More updates as the promotions get locked in… ELP is gonna work hard in 2010… but with everything in the planning sessions so far… it will be more FUN, than work.
