Fab First Glance!

Meriyah and Jered did what we call a "First Glance". Here's a quick explanation: Before the wedding (anywhere from a month before to hours before), the couple gets their wedding gear on, gets all prettied up, and we do a "first glance" in some quiet romantic location of their choice. There they see each other for the first time and we get to be there for it. We photograph the entire experience. It is always amazing. There is so much raw emotiom and it's much more personal than seeing each other for the first time walking down the aisle. Meriyah and Jered's experience was no different. What a fun and beautiful couple. We can't wait to shoot your wedding next month.



Why do you look like a bug today?

So we've decided to put the pictures after our little entry so all you who are reading the blog have to read through this nonsense before you get to the good stuff. If I've gotta spend the time typing it, you should be spending the time reading it. He He. Fill free to skip the crud and get to the good stuff. Anyway, I digress. Jenette was more than cute, she was more than pretty, she was amazing. You can pretty much explain her shoot like this. I own a pair of glasses just like the one Jenette is wearing in several of the shots. Needless to say, when I put on the glasses, my kids ask me why I look like a bug. When we see Jenette in the glasses, she looks nothing like a bug. She looks like a knock-out. So fun Jenette. We loved working with you.

Go! Fight! Take great pictures!

Is that title too lame? Jennifer is a cheerleader for one of the high schools in the area so we just had to throw in a little cheer for you all to hear. She is such a beautiful senior. Take a look. The pictures speak for themselves. Sometimes in Photography, we feel a lot like Cheerleaders. There is a lot of crazy limb movement, we sometimes scream until we're hoarse, a lot of times we work really hard to get enthusiasm out of our subjects. I hate to say it though, Roy is the only one who would be able to pull off a cute mini-skirt and spankies.

Vanessa is on the prowl!

I couldn't believe how many amazing pictures turned out from this shoot. Narrow it down to three or four! That is so not fair. I think the world needs to see a few more. This shoot was especially enjoyable because Vanessa was so willing to work hard and get that FANTASTIC shot. She looks amazing in all of her pictures. Fabulous job Vanessa.

Kute Kailie

We are so sad that Senior Season is starting to come to a close. Each senior brings such a unique perspective to his/her photoshoot, that we really never shoot the same senior twice. Kailie was such a sweet girl. It was so fun to work with her and see her fun laugh and smile really come out. What a cute girl. Good luck with your senior year.

The "wedding" show must go on!

Ahhh! Don't we look so cute! More like proud little mamas and papa of our brand-spankin'-new-booth. We worked hard to get to the wedding show and it all paid off. We had a great time and met tons and tons of beautiful brides-to-be. I don't think I stuck my foot in my mouth too many times (well at least less than you can count on one hand). Thanks to all who stopped by for making it so great. We'd also like to thank the special couple who were all over our advertising this year. Brian and Jenna-you guys are the best and we love ya.

We'd love to hear from those of you we met at the show who are still looking for a photographer. Call us for a custom consultation and we'll set up an appointment to meet with you.

If life were a musical...

In college we used to play a little game in the dorms called "If life were a musical...what song would be playing right now?" During this shoot, I think I was humming "Uptown Girl". I know it's a little old, but Andrea looked so put together and sophisticated it just seemed to fit. Andrea-you've got flare and it was so fun to capture it!
