Well first of all, I try not to take myself too seriously, so it's hard for me to think about what I want to say about myself! I grew up in Florida with a very large family. My entire family has art running through their veins. My grandfather was a professional photographer, Mom and Dad both have artistic talents, and all of my siblings have a knack for being creative one way or another. so here I am, married with children and wondering how in the world I'm going to channel my passion for creativity into something beautiful, productive, fulfilling, and find joy all at the same time? So, photography became the answer and a much needed outlet.
I love people, I love love, and I love adorable little baby fat rolls! I have to be creating beautiful things at all times. Though being a full time mother and homemaker takes up most of my time, I just can't keep myself from dreaming about being an amazing wedding photographer.
Over the past five years in the wedding industry, I feel like I have become a regular wedding junkie! By recognizing the latest styles and trends, I am prepared to capture everything that is unique and fabulous at your wedding and wrap it all up into an amazing timeless package. And that amazing package is the work of art you will walk away with when the day is all said and done. How well do you want to remember it?
Recently I have also reached one of my ongoing goals of being published in a national wedding magazine. They are but two small pictures, but I am so blessed none the less (baby steps!). You may recognize some images from Kyle and Christina's Wedding at Gorge Crest Farms in Town & Country Weddings, Fall 2010 issue. I have also been featured in a few wedding inspiration blogs such as Style Me Pretty, Snippet & Ink, Style Unveiled, and Marry You Me!
Today was yet another fun shoot, but we tried something new and did a little baking! We are going to start trying to do this more often where we come into your house and just do somthing fun and engaging with the kids to get some super cute and creative images!! Check ‘em out.
I had a fun time playing with these boys yesterday! They were full of personality and ready to play! I titled this post because of the experience I had with the bigger brother though…he was super handsome, but was a little camera shy. Well, he didn’t really like being put on the spot, so I tried to keep it light and low presure until the very end, and I focused just on him and said, “okay, now be serious! Give me the most serious face you got!” Then I kept with it by saying, “goooood jooob, Uh oh, don’t smile! Wait, NO DON’T!” Then he busted it out. In the end, that super great smile was out of down right defiance!
This sneak peek is only of the baby of the family! More sisters to come…SHE’S SO CUUUUUTE!!
This baby girl would not smile for us, but isn’t this shot just the cutest!! Enjoy the sneal peek!
These boys were too cute with their little sister! I can’t say much, but I just wanted to get a few sneak peeks up! Enjoy…
Wow, the last two days have been extremely HOT! We do not have A/C, so I have been trying to keep my house cool as a cave. Closed windows, with all of my backdrops acting as extra curtains blocking the sun! iT’S BEEN PRETTY BAD. But, today was a great escape to go over to the Oregon coast where it will be perfect!
David and Nina are getting married July 12, 2008. They are first to start the back-to-back weekend wedding season! I enjoyed doing this shoot, we just did whatever came to our minds. They are SUPER sweet together, and I could just tell that they are totally in love! AND they were great kissers! Just look at this first shot…
Cheers!
What a stud.
I saw some really cool drift wood while we were out, I could do a whole shoot on cool stuff at the beach!
