What a cold but perfect day for pictures!
I mean could they be any more perfect? This couple was up for anything. Never complained that it was past the point of any type of comfortable temperature. Stand on a ledge, cross rickety platform, stand under this structure that looks questionable. I think they got the point of getting the right shot. It makes my job so much more exciting. I didn't even know it was cold til the end when I was in the car and I could not feel my toes.
These are just a little peek at my favorites so far. I was so excited to take them that editing was so easy because they are such pretty people. I took along my friends Joe and Joella and they said I was crazy for coming to a place like this. But wow! It makes for a great background. I don't think I will bring kids running around but I love it for couples.
I feel like every shoot I go on that I get closer and closer to the type of photographer I want to be. I really try to shoot from different angles and perspectives. I think it makes the photographs look so interesting and draws the attention right to the focal point.
I am so excited for them that they found each other and seem so in love.
And by the way the shoes were pretty much the icing on the cake.

I love new places!
So Daniel and I had a free afternoon and after many minutes of debate decided to go to a place that I have wanted to take pictures for a while now. I am so glad that we did. I loved it. It was so unique and beautiful and you could feel the history all around. I couldn't imagine what it had been like in all its glory. Just amazing.
I love taking pictures. I love how I feel when I get my camera out and I see things so differently. I love that Daniel will go with me and try his hardest to understand.So I have decided weekly that I want to share some of my favorite photographers here. There are so many out there and if anyone loves photography then they will love these sites. This first one is definitely one of my favorites. I love their style and I love that they are a husband and wife team. So great! Their studio speaks to me. I love it.
I also have a new favorite bag and I am trying to convince Daniel that I need it. It is so me.
I also have a very favorite photography website but their recent post is so amazing to me. I love everything about the grainy photos and the head pieces. If I were going to get married all over again this is definitely the way that I would go.

The weather is finally changing!
The weather is changing and I get to get out and take a lot of pictures. I have never been so happy. It is still cold but on Saturday it was like 50 degrees and I thought all is right with the world again. I have not even blogged a lot lately because I swear my creativeness slows down in the winter and I have nothing to talk about.But Saturday I got to take pictures of this adorable couple because they are getting MARRIED in June. I wish everyone who reads this could have been with me on Saturday to see how cute they were in person. The husband to be announced that he did not like pictures as soon as he walked up to me. By the end he was a regular runway model. I just loved every minute.
This is definitely going to be picture overload because I have not taken pictures in so long.I have to say one more thing on taking pictures. Because I have such great friends I always ask one along with me to help me with the lighting. This time my beautiful friend Barb went with me and as she is laying on top of the truck trying to block out the sun with me laying on top of her trying to get the shot that I wanted, I later reflected how lucky I am to have her in my life. I don't say it often enough how much all of my friends mean to me. But that day that memory means a lot to me and I love her for it.
I have the privilege of being able to take this cute couples wedding photos and let me tell you that I cannot wait. They were so much fun to be around and had such a great style. I love the people I get to meet.
I will have lots more to post in the coming weeks because people are getting excited that the weather is changing and they want to get outside and get their pictures taken.

The weather is no good!
The weather this time of year always kills me. The days seem to last forever. I have to push myself to get up and get going. So I am going to just keep taking pictures to keep my mind working. Going to keep posting pictures so that I push myself to do more. Got out my old lens yesterday. 50mm 1.8. I find that I have missed it and can do so many creative things with it and it is so fast. Also learned how to create a tilt shift on photoshop so I am having fun doing that. I have seen a lot of photographers do it. I e-mailed one of my favorite photographers to help me with my little problem and she actually has a tilt shift lens. I loved that when I e-mailed her she got back to me so quickly. I love when photographers remember that they started somewhere and it is nice to give back to photographers with questions. Her images are amazing!
Her shots are so unique and creative. She sets up every shot so beautifully. Another wonderful photographer that I have come across lately is
She has a way of using words in her photographs that is amazing. I love the dreamy quality of each shot. Her images are actually for sale on etsy.
So thank you for all of your love and encouragement from my last blog post. We are going and I am just going to enjoy myself the best that I can. Now if anyone can help me get over leaving my kids for a week.
