Recent Shoots

I have been doing a few shoots recently that are not necessarily wedding related, but in a round about way they are.  My husband was the DJ/Emcee for this couple's wedding at the start of last year.  I made arrangements with them to do their pregnancy and newborn photo sessions.  And wouldn't you know it, this beautiful little baby girl was born on their first wedding anniversary.

Pregnancy Portraits... Something New

I had an opportunity to do some pregnancy / maternity portraits and we had a lot of fun with the session.  I enjoyed editing these images too.  I am sure I will be doing more of these sessions.

A Family Wedding

My stepdaughter actually got married a few years ago, but she and her husband recently rededicated their lives to Christ and decided they also wanted to renew their wedding vows and have a real church wedding which was a few days ago.  I offered to take some pictures for them and we got several really good images from our short time together at the church.

Always Learning More about Wedding Photography

I am in constant study about photography whether it is lighting, post processing, technique, posing, etc. There is so much information in regard to photography. I was invited to attend a seminar with top wedding photographer Denis Reggie and had the opportunity to attend last night. It was a great seminar and I learned more about how to achieve a more natural light even with the use of flash. I already knew a little bit about the technique, but Denis filled in the gaps of information I didn't know before. The seminar was sponsored by Canon.... and I bet you can guess that I have added a few more lenses to my ever growing wish list. I think my favorite part about the seminar was the discussion about wedding photojournalism, finding the moments and documenting them without interference from the photographer. Also hearing that excessive "photoshopping" is not reality. Even though I know how to do a lot of that stuff, I tend to lean more towards reality in my photography.

Atlanta Botanical Garden Wedding

I had the honor of documenting the wedding of Anthony & Rhonda on Saturday December 27, 2008 in the Japanese Garden at Atlanta Botanical Garden. We were blessed with 65 degree weather and the rain stopped long enough for us to have a dry afternoon in the garden. It was a very intimate wedding ceremony with only close family, most of whom traveled from very far away to attend. After the wedding we did several family group shots and then took a walk around the gardens to find some really beautiful backdrops. Gallery - Slideshow
