a simple combination of elegance and light
One of my favorite aspects of being a photographer is that I get to capture all life’s mile stones. Which in my mind makes me an honorary family member. Last year around this time I shot Erika’s engagement photos, a few months later I shot her wedding, eight months later her maternity photos and now baby Jack! You can already tell how smart he is. As a newborn he is already moving his head around, and trying to crawl. I have high expectations on lil Jack. Happy Easter!
I love seeing the way a word is translated in many different languages.

First looks are sort of the new thing to do. I love them for multiple reasons it’s a great photos opportunity, it makes the day run smoother. First looks are usually done as soon as the brides done getting ready. We turn the groom around we walk the bride into the room and the couple gets to spend a moment with each other before their “I Dos.” I find it really takes the anxiety out of the day. Traditionally when a couple gets to see each other for the first time coming down the aisle they don’t get to hug on each other which they’re dying to do. After the first look we do photos of the couple and then get the family round up and we do all the formals. The great thing is the couple now has the opportunity to go to their cocktail hour. If for whatever reason we’re unable to get the formals done we have time during the cocktail hour. I like to be able to do the formals before the ceremony. That way I get more time with the couple and everyone can enjoy cocktail hour.

1. Hire a professional make-up artist. When you do a test with the make up artist make sure you take a photo. So you can see what your make-up will look like in a photograph. Sometimes make up looks different in person vs in the camera. Better yet schedule your engagement session to be done on the very same day. If you need referrals for make-up artist, just ask!
2. Keep the getting ready room clean. If a room is cluttered with bags, clothing and product it will show in the pictures. If you need to assign a brides maid to the task.
3. Tell me what you want. Think about the shots you want and talk about them. Obviously I’m going to get the first dance, cake cutting…. But if you want certain unique photos let me know.
4. Walk slow. There is no rush. The slower you walk the more photos I get to take. This goes for not just the bride but the whole bridal party; walking up and down the asile, and grand entrance.
5. The best way to photograph the rings being exchanged is to twist your hand slightly toward camera.
6. Don’t invite the party during the first dance! I want to have 4-5 mins to capture the spectacular first dance.
7. Hold kisses and poses. No pecks on the big day.
8. Clean your ring. It makes a huge difference!

Photographing kids is always fun! This little one only gave me 5 mins. When ever I’m shoot anyone I’m constantly talking to them.. Every time I asked this lil guy a question he’d say “I don’t know.” Whats your favorite candy? “I don’t know.” Whats you favorite subject in school??? (IDK) So cute! Even when their nervouse their adorable.
