Lots of FUN!

 This session was incredibly fun!  These two girls and handsome little man were a hoot!  They ran, danced, jumped on the bed, blew bubbles....and more....Seriously.  I don't think they missed out on their fun they would have had without a photographer there.  Ross and I shot this one together.  We had a ball at this in home session!  I think you will understand when you look at the pictures.....

ENGAGEMENT PICTURES!

I have been slaving away this wedding season and I am loving it!  I am so thankful to all of the couples who have booked me this year!    Although I am struggling to keep up the editing I am loving every minute of it.  My husband Ross is now my official second photographer and he is amazing....I hate that I did not find his hidden talent sooner ha!.....Such a sweet and fun couple check them out:

Eric & Sarah Jackson Wedding

Some photos from Eric & Sarah's Wedding on May 17, 2008.  This wedding was absolutely beautiful due to all the detail planning that Sarah did.  It was in Marion,VA at a quaint little church just outside the downtown city.  The reception was at the General Francis Marion Hotel (gorgeous hotel!).....Notice in all of the pictures how wonderful all of her planned details made for a GREAT background. Check these out!

Before and After

Why editing time takes so long.....and why it pays to pay for quality......Check this pic out of cute little Dylan:

BEFORE:
Picture_1
















AFTER:
Picture_2
















Enhanced the eyes, soften little eye bags, softened face, sharpened him up.
The top photo just had color enhancement.

Pretty crazy huh?  Hope this broadens everyones perspective as to how much work is put into my photos :)

Off to Atlanta......but before I go I will post you a couple more from this session:

PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP HERE I COME...

I am totally stoked!  I am leaving in about 5 hours to go to Grand Rapids, MI to a photography workshop.  I will be back Thursday May 1.  For all of you who need to get in contact with me please feel free to email me.  I will try to respond while I am there but it will be periodically and I am not promising anything because I will be in the workshop all day and probably really tired by night.  I am hoping to post a few pics from the conference while I am there but once again no promises.

On another note:
Be looking for 3 sessions "teasers" possibly 4.  I am taking some work up there and hope to post a couple from the three sessions that followed the others that I have posted....and then starts WEDDING MONTHS!  May and June are busy busy and you should keep checking the blog because pictures galore will be posted here throughout this month and next.

So with that said....I am now off to pack and try to catch some ZZZZ's before the big day of driving in the morning.

Thanks to all who read!

Good night ;)
