The past few weeks has been high energy and high STRESS! The last 2 Saterdays have been spent 3rd shooting for Amy again. What a blast! She amazes me with her knowlege, and her husband Joel as well. Anyone thinking of pursuing a career in photography absolutely must have a innate desire and passion for photography. It's HARD WORK!
I can't count how many hours I've spent with my camera in my hands, shooting on full manuel, in every light situation you can think of.
After 2 weddings in a row, and all that preparing and research, I'm exhausted! It's nice to have some time now to slow down and relax a bit....and think of the warm weather....it's coming ...right!?!
I have several portrait sessions lined up. We are just waiting for some fresh air and sunshine. Do I sound impatient about the weather!
I've been offered an amazing opportunity coming up this summer! I can't wait to share, but not just yet. There's a lot more work to be done on it first.
Cherene....this one's for you! check out this blog by Barefoot Memories ! Soccer Mom and Photographer! Did you see the the off camera lighting soccer portraits! We need to get together and knock around some ideas!
The kids have cabin fever, big time! We can't wait to get out on the 4 wheeler and burn some energy. I am going to be doing a photo shoot of each of them. It's been a few months since I've really bugged them about letting me use them to try out new ideas, and it's time for new pictures of them anyways. They are all such beautiful kids! They are starting to change before my eyes. And the growing process has kicked into high gear! Sometimes I can't wait until they grow older, and other times I dread each passing minute that get's them closer to leaving the nest I have built for us! It's been a long, hard, very scary at times, road to get where we are today.
I will share pictures of the last 2 weddings soon. I was so busy practicing with my camera in manuel mode, I have not even attempted to edit any of them yet. When you 2nd or 3rd shoot, you sign off all of your images to the photographer you are assisting. Amy doesn't mind me using my own images to show that I am skilled to my current level of taking images. At this point I shoot full manuel mode. It's hard to step off that ledge of comfort and safety that you get from the different auto modes the camera will give you. But once you do, there is a significant, noticible change in your pictures, and it's definitely for the better!
I'll have more soon. I'm going to get started on editing the wedding pictures and I promise to share!
Because my friends don't like post without pictures.....here's a few random shots from tonight around the house, unfortunately Devin was out and about with her friends.
Norman says, If I tell you I love you and smile, do I still have to go to bed?!?.
Wow, Sean does dishes! 
and shows us his brand new mouth without braces, or maybe he just likes the taste of his fingers! 
Carrie is a Televsi-phoner-netting-multi-tasker! Tell me it isn't so....
