I admire the work of Anne Geddes, but I've never studied or attempted her style.

My dear friend pleaded with me to take pictures of her baby in a pumpkin, and I agreed just for fun. We thought for sure he wouldn't like hanging out in a cold squash, but he loved it!

The resulting picture is just sweet, don't you think?

This masterpiece is inspired by Phil Maland, an incredible photographer.

I believe we spent a good hour shooting, just to get this image. A great deal of time was spent, post-shoot, to render this image. Most people only see the time a photographer spends taking the actual pictures. The preparation, training and planning are a big deal, too. Equiptment does matter. But many think if you have a good camera, you can take professional pictures. Not everyone can:
-capture the color and light in a magical way
-compose and balance an image artistically
-capture the expression and feeling of a moment

The more you learn about photography, the more you see the difference in quality. And a good photographer is worth the while. He he! So there's my rant.

Bridal Session

September 19, 2008

"After the Wedding Bridals"
AKA "Trash the Dress"

Now Audrey had no desire to "trash" her dress, but there is no doubt any wedding-associated photo session, that is not on the wedding day, is so nice and relaxed! Everyone is much more comfortable. I highly reccommend these wedding pre-shoots and trash-the-dress sessions!

Ah, pictures look so beautiful and easy. As Audrey and Tami and I can attest, it is hard work! This session was about 3 hours long, and with the fading light we weren't wasting a moment! Loved your company, Audrey and Tami.
