Its wedding season....love is in the air, my photography partner and I are now fully aware that to make the magic happen behind the lens their has to be real magic happening in front of the lens.
The lens doesn't lie. (photoshop does, but the lens doesn't)
something that I find refreshing and challenging. I'm sure that's why babies and children are the purest shots for me. But I always love a good challenge, so shooting a couple who are having a bad day with unruly children and then making them all look like they are a fun amazing family is when I feel I nailed the gig.
But, here we are in the heart of weddings and I sure find the whole production really fun and romantical. (words used widely by my family).
It works to my husbands benefit too. Since after a very long day of shooting a wedding. Seeing the new love and sparks of a sweet couple in love, I come home with renewed feelings of warmth and appreciation for the man I married some 20ish years ago. Corney I know.....but true it is.
So I love this job of mine....to see and capture things trivial and great. Then make sure they are
here for years and years to enjoy and remember over and over again. It's so much like being
a mom. We do things all day with our children that are trivial and great mostly trivial, and we pray that something we do or say will make them happy long after we are gone. Wouldn't that be great to go before the judgment bar and hear ........." You nailed the gig".

Yay! Blogging is such a great way to keep up with everyone! I'm so glad that we got to see you guys over your vacation. I don't want to let another 6 years go by before we see you again, so at some point we may just have to come down and see you, or let us know when you're coming back up this way.
Your blog is stylin'.
