I don’t shoot many weddings, but as I venture into the wedding photography arena, I’m starting to really understand why my wedding photographer friends really love it. It’s all about the relationships. From the interview, to consultation, engagement session, pre event meeting, and the event day ALL DAY, I really get to develop a real friendship with my clients. And I get to spend the most important day of their lives with them AND present them with their memories. Any photographer will tell you, regardless of what they shoot, that the greatest feeling is to give those you truly care about amazing images. And that’s what I’m realizing is what being a wedding (or any type) photographer is all about. Giving people you truly care about something amazing.
That being said, Megan and Tim are engaged!!! I’m shooting their June wedding at the Pelican Grand Bay Resort. I can’t wait!
Embarrassingly enough I shot this family the first weekend of December. But if you were to look at my blogging habits for the month of December you would see it was terribly lacking. But I really love this session. Lifestyle sessions really enable me to capture those little details that you want to remember forever.
I am 5 for 5 this week on the blog! Which I’m really excited about. We had been experiencing blog difficulties since the new website debuted, and now that everything seems to be straightened out I can finally celebrate the studio’s new look. We have been super busy here, and we have so many amazing sessions to share, some being way over due. So stop by often, you never know when you might just see you!
This is the third time I’ve photographed this family in the past year. You can see them here and here.
Ask most 11 year olds what they want for their birthday, and chances are they’re NOT going to ask for a portrait session with their big sister. Well meet Alex. All he wanted was a portrait session with his older sister. Ask, and you shall receive.
Although I’m sure these two have their moments, this brother and sister really knew how to turn on the charm for me. We had a great time together during our Studio Session.
