New Blog

I have been wanting to change my personal blog for quite a while now and have finally done it. I will now be posting to a Wordpress site. Join me over at www.C2drvryf.wordpress.com for the latest on our family. I started it off right with a picture of Lexie :-) I haven't done much with it to personalize it but hopefully I will have time to work on it in the next couple of months.

Busy May

Yesterday was May 1st. It is the beginning of a busy month for me as far as my photography work is concerned. I am hoping the rest of my weddings go better than yesterdays! Everything went well except for the formal pictures. It doesn't matter how much I stress both in my initial meetings with bride and grooms but also every other time that I think of it, how important it is to be on time, I very rarely get lucky and have my bride and/or grooms ready for their formal pictures. So, we wind up pushing them through between the ceremony and reception and not having time for anything creative or fun. It really is sad that the most important part (the part that will last forever) gets pushed into the background. Once again we lost light fast and I am sure the pictures will have suffered. I was rushed and wasn't able to put up supplemental lighting so the pictures will not be near what they could have been if I had had the proper amount of time. But, I am planning on sending out an email one more time to my up and coming brides requesting that they seriously consider being on time! After yesterday, I am really looking forward to next weekend at the beach. We are going down there on Thursday the 6th and staying until Sunday morning. The kids are coming with friends and I am looking forward to spending time with the family. Until then, here is a picture taken last night during lighting checks for the wedding. I love working with Savanna, she is fun to work with and does exactly what I ask her to do without her own agenda. She also has a very good eye for catching those special "moments". I love this girl!
