Hey, Class of 2009–you pay NO SITTING FEE if you book a photo session during August!!! Check back often for monthly specials.
Time flies when you’re having fun! It’s been exactly two weeks since my last post, and it seems like just a few days ago. The bride whose wedding we’re photographing Saturday, July 19 came in for her bridals last week. I once heard the saying, “If you want to have beautiful pictures, photograph beautiful people”. This is certainly true in her case, and she’s going to be a storybook bride! Sorry, I can’t post any images from her bridals yet, because the groom hasn’t seen her dress. Check back during the week of July 21.
The cute little guy in the pictures is Cutler Stokes Davis. He’ll be one in a few weeks, and his parents, Michelle and Stokes brought him for beach and studio birthday pictures. We started at the beach, and Cutler wasn’t very happy because he was so tired from the long trip from Woodbine, GA. (Plus we got our meeting place mixed up, and were an hour late finding each other.) But he held out long enough for some family shots and some of him playing on the beach towel. Next was a nap and lunch, and he was ready to go for his studio session. We got lots of smiles from him then, as you can see. Happy birthday, Cutler!
This is a couple whose wedding we’re photographing in July. Sometimes in the summer, it’s hard to schedule sessions at the beach because of afternoon showers. We had to postpone once because of rain, but the next afternoon was beautiful so it wasn’t much of a problem. I think they’re a good looking couple and nice people too, so I’m looking forward to their wedding.
Hey, this blogging is fun, and gets easier each time!
I just got back from a photography workshop in Salt Lake City, Utah, and among many other things, I learned that I should have a blog, so here goes…
The workshop, “Get Schooled on Seniors” was taught by award winning photographer, Steve Harrington and his wife, Shelley. affectionally known as “Team Steve” (www.steveharrington.net). I’ve been an admirer of their work for a long time and jumped at the chance when I heard about their workshop. There were 30 photographers there, and it was really a great experience. For the first two days, Steve taught us how he takes his awesome images, both in the studio and on site. The third day, Shelley shared her Photoshop skills, which put the finishing touches on Steve’s images. Our models (above) were two beautiful high school seniors who were real troopers with 30 cameras pointed at them for hours at a time. My head is so full of everything I learned, that I’m still sorting it out, and can’t wait to use some of my new skills photographing “09″ seniors.
You’ll be able to see more of the Utah beauties in the senior gallery on my website, so check back in a few days.
I enjoy hearing from couples whose weddings we’ve photographed after they’ve been “married folks” for awhile. One recent followup was from John Laboone and his lovely wife, Jan. Since their March wedding, John has become an avid gardener, and has been sending me photos showing the progress of his vegetables. In one of his e-mails, he described a delicious meal of eggplant lasagne prepared by Jan. Since my eggplant lasagne comes from the freezer section at Sam’s, I’d love to have your recipe, Jan.
