We were a tad bit spoiled when we saw the beautiful home we got to shoot little Cross newborn photos in. Huge windows, tons of amazing light coming in from every direction. I was in love
At first when we saw just how big this boy was I was kinda worried we wouldn’t be able to get very many photos. Talk about chub! Lol! But after we got that heater going. He just settled right in and let us do whatever!
Thank you so much for letting me capture this special time in your lives!
This wedding was one of the most emotional weddings I have ever attended. I’ve never photographed two people who are so much in love with their Lord like these two. And talk about putting him first in their relationship? They took time to pray together (and had the congregation pray for them before they became man and wife!).
They had saved their first kiss for their wedding day. Which was something special to be able to witness! It was also special having my older sister the wedding coordinator and she did the brides hair! I felt extra lucky this wedding day!
Shem and Noel… I couldn’t help but just be in awe of your relationship with each other. How in love you are with Our Lord was such a incredible statement to witness!!! I can’t say thank you enough for letting me capture your day.
The other night I was standing in the shower thinking.. yes I know that sounds really weird that I’m telling you about how I was standing in the shower. But I tend to think a lot while the hot water is spraying on me. Hey at least I shower rightOk anyway…
I started thinking about how busy I have been lately. And thinking about just two short years ago how I was sitting around a lot. Wishing I could have the chances to capture people and create photos like I had been seeing on photographer blogs. To even know how to shoot with a real camera. I was getting ready to have my very first wedding in February and sort of freaking out about it but yet just totally pumped. I only had shot a couple shoots and definitely had no idea what I was doing with my camera.
Last year I had no weddings and hardly any shoots in the winter. Which made for it a long long long winter. I confidently knew how to shoot in Manual. And was starting to understand what it took to bring people how and how to make them be themselves.
This year…. I definitely feel like I am becoming more and more what I want to be. After coming home from the Lauren Clark Brainwash (blog post coming soon about this amazing experience!!) I have a greater understanding of how my flash works. I feel like I know how to shoot in difficult lighting situations. I may not be exactly where I need to be at but I am on my way. I am loving getting to shoot all these couples and babies. I have had three weddings the last three weekends and have two engagement shoots this weekend. I also have 4 more in the month of February!!!!!!!
When I was thinking about where I was two years ago and where I am going now. I am so amazed. Amazed how far I’ve come and where God is taking me. I am so thankful!!
Thank you all for bringing me this far. I couldn’t of done it without you! Here is a sneak peak from yesterdays really fun newborn shoots. Again I love how God brings people into my life.
I have had the pleasure of being able to “go through” with this couple as they plan their wedding. Zach and Brianne had me shoot some quick photos for their save the dates last Spring and then we did their engagement session last Fall. It was fun hearing all the details fall into place.
They met through mutual friends and dated off and on the past couple of years. Until they just knew. Knew they were meant for each other. It had been planned out down to the the little details. Brianne did all the reception decorations herself. She of course had some help but she did it all.
I was incredible excited to be able to capture their day. And I can’t thank you both enough for being willing to go outside in the cold wind and take photos for me. Hope your honeymoon in Hawaii was amazing!
As I was thinking about posting a personal blog post I had a hard time coming up with something to choose to write about. I have been so incredibly busy that I just keep waiting for my brain to go on over load and shut down. But we have one more week and things will hopefully slow down. After this month I will of had three weddings and two engagement sessions. Then I have three engagement sessions in February that are planned as of now.
One thing I have really realized about my photography business is I like to keep a variety. When I have had a ton of weddings most of the time I also have newborn sessions and families as well. But this year has started off with couples all over the placeI have always said that couples are my absolute favorite. With newborns following in close behind. So when I realized how many couple like “sessions” I have these first two months I was a little worried I will burned out on them. You know when you do things over and over again you kinda feel like you run out of new ideas? But so far I am just LOVING it!!!!!
Of course its not over yetBut I truly think my passion is couples and capturing the love behind each one. Each couple has a different way they communicate with each other. How they show their love… and how they complete each other. SO it makes me that much more intrigued to try to capture each other one just as they are.
I am so incredibly thankful that this sweet bride decided to go with me. I better stop with that because I will go on and on about them in their wedding blog post here in a week or twoBut I had a total blast with Noel. Here is a fun teaser from their wedding Saturday!
Happy Monday!
