So, I'm sure that most of you know by now I'm kinda a Disney freak.... I totally blame my Mom for this of course (hi, Mom love you!) But, we grew up with parents that had a time share with Disney and annual passes. I can tell you how to navigate the Magic Kingdom by heart and can recite quite a few of the classics... Ok enough about my obsession onto the point of this blog...
A few months ago....
I received a phone call from a guy named Ryan about wedding photography, which of course is odd cause usually the guy just wants to know how much it's going to cost LOL. But Ryan is a photographer in Mississippi, sports photographer to be exact. Or, at least sports and journalism is his passion. (he's also a Nikon guy, but I forgave him for that after he admitted that Canon does have a one up in some areas) He told me that he and his fiancée Kaitlyn were having a Disney wedding on Christmas Eve and would like to know if I would consider photographing their wedding. Now, at the time Wes and I had talked about spending Christmas in Disney and I told him that we were actually planning on being down there around that time and that it might just work out perfectly. We talked for close to an hour I believe, I of course loved the idea of Disney at Christmas and another Disney Wedding, making two Disney Weddings in 2009 is kinda amazing to me!
When I do the full post I'll include info about Kaitlyn and Ryan's wedding page where you'll be able to read their story and all about their wedding but for now here are some sneak peaks :)
I've been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. If it's not photoshoots it's family stuff and if it's not family stuff it's holiday stuff.... I'm so very very far behind on blogging. I post just about everything to the fan page and forget about it! So let me try to catch you up right fast on what's been going on....
First we have Jack! My friend Kimberly's little boy. Pretty sure he's rotten to the very core!!
Next, little baby Gabriel. He's a premature baby, and had only been home from the hospital for about a week when we did this session. I believe he was already 4 months old. And he's still SO tiny!!!
Ah, The Brooks family... This was a fun day.. Conner the adorable upside down redhead you see here, he's not much of a ham for the camera but he's never met a stranger, I received many hugs that day... too cute!!!!
Stephanie and Aaron have another new edition on the way as well, who I'll be meeting soon!!
Aren't they cute!!!
The Rine Family, did a mini session. My friend Liz who I'm sure some of you know she's the owner of Couture Weddings does custom wedding products, if you don't know her then well, you should! With a family portrait like this who wouldn't want to hang with them!! LOL
My fav!!!
Finally we have the beautiful Temia. She saw my mini session special and decided she wanted to get some photos of herself for her upcoming birthday... She's gorgeous!!! and I hear the photos were a hit!
Sorry for the lack of blogging... this still isn't fully caught up, I have a few more family photos, Kati & Corey's Wedding and Stephanie's sister Morgan to post soon!!
I've been told I can thank Ida for all the rain the past couple of days... and, while I didn't enjoy getting soaked going to my car of having to clean water spots off my lenses today... I did enjoy shooting at the beach with the storm clouds as a backdrop!
There is something about shooting in the rain, I likely shouldn't like it since it's A. not good for my equipment and B. likely voids my insurance in some way shape or form but I really do enjoy the interesting photos you get with dark skys, raindrops, and rain soaked subjects :)
Last week, at Faythe's Shoot Out I was pretty excited to use my new toys for the shoot... and I'm super happy with the result! My friend Heather, had recently gotten herself a pocketwizard and flash to start learning and had some trouble with it... and well I think all of us did when we first started using them. Anyway, she asked me if I'd help her. I of course said yes she's the sister to one of my brides and it was one of the craziest wedding's I've been involved with to date!!! Anywho, Heather has become a good friend since the wedding and I love spending time with her, so after roping her into being my lighting assistant we had lunch and met up with her friend Hidi for a quick session/lesson. Now, I was mainly the "teach" as Heather says in this scenario but I did manage to pop off a few super cool shots before the rain ruined our fun!
And, is it just me or does Hidi seriously look like Nellie Furtado???
Be sure to keep an eye out for Heather's photos oh her blog!! whitblackphoto.wordpress.com
