Flooded bridals!

June 16, 2008

This weekend was so much fun! Saturday I assisted at a wedding with Rick Jennisch Photography, I got to work with Rick and his other assistant Felicia, they are both really great photographers and really nice people, so I had a great time! I love shooting weddings for myself, but it was great to get a chance to 2nd shoot again, I really love doing that as well, you kind of get to step back and try some more creative angles. I can’t wait to see all the images from the wedding. :)

Sunday I met up with Teresa to try some really different bridal portraits. I’m always on a quest for something different and with all the flooding going on downtown we just had to incorporate it into the photos. We tried some other locations too, but I was really excited about using the flood, how often do you get water covered street signs. I should probably mention that I feel really awful for everyone who has been affected by the flood and I don’t mean to make light of it, it’s just that I can’t resist a cool photo op.

Expect some more shots from this session, I nicknamed Teresa “Wonder woman” because she was scaling buildings and what not, these were definitely “fearless bridals.”

I think I promised more of these a few months ago, but it’s been crazy busy lately. I will have another fun modeling session coming up next month, so keep checking back.

My Smokin’ Hot Sister

April 22, 2008

I might be a little biased because she’s my sister and I know what an awesome person she is and how beautiful she is on the inside, but I really think my little sister is one of the most gorgeous people I know. On top of being super hot, she’s also a wonderful person, she just came back from a year over in Iraq, and came home to some circumstances almost as stressful, but throughout it all she’s remained strong and caring. I’ll stop gushing, but I’ve been really blessed with wonderful family. Anyways, when I got the chance to spend Sunday shooting bridal pictures of her, needless to say, I was pretty excited.

It almost didn’t happen though, we were supposed to shoot last weekend, but we got rain on Sunday, and then this week, it still looked a bit cloudy in the morning, and then she couldn’t get her hair done. I wound up doing her hair for her (I’m surprised it turned out, I’m a bit of a wash & go kind of girl, and unfortunately for my daughter, hairstyling isn’t where my talent lies), and we had my husband make the bouquet, look out for our new wedding package including hair and flowers, maybe I’ll get into cakes too. Kidding, lol.

I’m off for the rest of the week on vacation, one of my best friends is staying in town with us for the week so I doubt I’ll be getting much work done.

These are a few of my favorites from the session. Expect more to come soon.
