NY

Last November we went to NYC for the weekend, it’s not unusual for us taking weekend trips but this time we stayed in the city for a night! I can walk around the city all day and still not have all the pictures I want. I  know I posted about NY probably when I got back but I was going through my images the other night and came across these pictures. I may have to make another trip soon!!

Our yummy coffee!

Happy Thursday!!

MY WEEKEND

I just want to share with you what I did this weekend, and boy am I tired!

This is Mayra she is a High School Senior at Hunt

This is the Norville Family, this is a wonderful family and so much fun! Very photogenic also!

Meet John and Becky Ross!

Sarah Sauls is a good friend of mine and she needed more cards, I told her I wanted to take her picture first and this is the outcome :)

Hair and makeup : Sarah Sauls

Meet Kaitlin Norville, remember the family portrait with the truck, she was apart of that family. You are going to see more of these pictures and here what I’m doing with this. This is just a sneak peek ;)

 

Have a great Tuesday!!

A busy year so far…

Which is why I haven’t been blogging I have been working, working, working :) I just wanted to touch base with you all and tell you I haven’t forgot about you out there. This past weekend I was definitely busy with working, Saturday I photographed Ashlyn Ritch, she just turned one and Amber (her mom) wanted some outdoor pictures. Saturday afternoon Phillip and I drove to Durham to the Sarah P. Duke Gardens to photograph Coury and Brian’s engagement session and that place is beautiful and two photogenic people definitely help :) Sunday I finally photographed my senior model Kirstie Wood, that session was fun but it was so windy, we got through it though :) Sunday afternoon I called my bride because it was soo hot outside, I was concerned about her wearing a wedding dress in 90 something degree weather but she said let’s do this! That’s what I want to hear :) I love it when someone’s a trooper!!

I want to share with you some ideas that are going on in my head, one I mentioned a few blogs back that I was going to come out with a dvd about photoshop and lightroom. I still am, I have been busy with everything else I need to lock myself in a room with my computer and do it! Two, I’m thinking about getting an iPad :D !!!!!!! I know I’m soooo excited being I don’t have a laptop I think an iPad would be something great to have to show slideshows at weddings, to go to meetings with a slideshow, just something to have that’s fun! I get excited about new things like that coming out :) Three: I’m going to start taking Phillip with me on shoots so he can get a better feel for the camera, I asked if he would photograph me photographing my sessions. That’s why he went with me to Coury and Brian’s engagement session.

Below is an image he took of me while I was photographing using the sun flare, it makes for a great picture. When you go out on a shoot try it, don’t point your lens straight at the sun but catch a little of that flare when photographing someone. Here is an example:

Try this sometime and WOW your clients!

Here are some of my favorite images from the sessions I photographed this past weekend, minus the bride (you can’t see her til after the wedding)

Here is a family I photographed a few weeks ago

Ashlyn and Amber

My senior model: Kirstie Wood

I know this was a long blog but that’s ok I’m trying to make up for not blogging in a while :) Once I get my iPad, it’s ON!!!!!!!!

Dream

I love magazines, I love the photography, the fashion and the posing. I have always wanted to be that photographer who took all of the images for a fashion magazine, that’s my dream. Being I don’t live in New York I doubt I will be able to pursue that dream unless I come up with my own magazine (which I have thought about) maybe I can start out that way, design my own magazine with my photography and have people I know in it….hmmm I just thought of something new to add to my list :) Well I came across a design company that is offering templates (I usually design my own templates but I don’t have time right now) so I bought these! I am going to start offering for my High School Seniors a way to be featured in a magazine of their own and I will post them online! I will have a senior of the month! I have a sample that I’m going to show you, let me know what you think!

Let me know what you guys think! This is something I’m going to offer to seniors, and there is a sports mag also for you guys!

Have a great day!!
