Here are some of my favorites:

Awwwww!

Friday.....already?

Today i wanted to share something special you. I got my first review from a bride :) How cool is that! Chelsea and Jamie got married on July 11th 2010. Their family is so relaxed and friendly me and my husband felt right at home. I also shot her bridal pictures and their engagement session. I LOVED the engagement session we had so much fun together. Normally the session would take little over an hour,we shot for about 2 hours straight.

So this is what Chelsea said on WeddingChannel.com


PERFECT!

Maris is wonderful! She is accommodating and artistic! She does the more artistic side of portraits, but when I wanted some of the traditional shots, she did not disappoint! My father thought she ...was great because she was personable and also invisible! No one noticed her moving around during the ceremony and she wasn't overbearing during the reception. She also did my bridal portraits and engagement shoot. She had creative locations and was great in giving direction and thinking of new ideas. I brought props and she used them so well in all of the pictures. Her editing is wonderful. The best part, she gives you all of your prints on a CDROM to keep for yourself with a copyright release form! So no paying per print. For bridal and engagement she gave us about 300 pictures each shoot and wedding we had over 500! A good variety and she not only took pictures of people at the wedding and key moments, but also details of the venue, flowers, accessories, etc. We were on a tight budget so only hired her for 3 hours on the wedding day, but she still got so much done! She was there an hour before the ceremony while we were getting ready, during the ceremony and then for most of the reception. She returned the bridal and engagement photos within 3 days and the wedding photos within a week! The day of my bridal portraits, it stormed and rained all day and we were going to be outside. She moved the date to two weeks later, which was the only other weekend that worked for me, without even a hesitation! She was perfect. There is not ONE complaint about Maris. I would hire her for any future photography need for the rest of my life! She is great and so artistic! She has great rates for such a wonderful outcome.

Isn't she a sweetie?

The First Kiss

Saturday.....

This past Saturday i had an opportunity to photograph a coming of age celebration. Now if you are as uneducated as me you've never heard of a religion called Baha'i. So to educate both of us here is a an explanation from Wikipedia .

Tahirih,her family and friends were so laid back and friendly that i automatically felt like at home.

Here are some of my favorites from the party. Oh and congratulations to beautiful Tahirih :)

Friday.....

My husband is out of town until Monday and i am already bored out of my mind. There is an empty spot on the couch next to me and there is no one to fill it :( .


I actually do have a reason to write today

I work part time at a pizza restaurant ( www.baronispizza.com come visit if you are in Charleston SC area) Few months ago my boss asked me if i'd like to take pictures for the menu. Of course i could not say no to something like that. Although i had no experience or a lot of equipment my boss was very happy with the results and what do you know....i really,really started to like it. I mean i like photography in general,but i love food photography,there is just something about setting it up, finding proper lighting,using the props....just being creative that just pulled me in. So now i am in the middle of two career paths. Food or wedding photography? Even if i'd really want to i could not pick both. They are a lot of work and i could be successful only in one.

Any suggestions?
