A few more photos from Grand Manan!



I am my own worst nightmare!


Not Really, I actually find myself quite hilarious sometimes! hey at least I can laugh at myself.

So I am going to begin to post new weddings on this blog and we will see how that works out. I feel inspired by such blogs at www.bklynbride.blogspot.com Vane has so much ambition and heart when it comes to keeping up with it every day and researching all these exciting new products, good for her!

I am off to NYC in a couple of weeks to attend this years PDN Photo Expo. Not that I have ever had anything against tech heads in film vests talking shop, but I hope that it is a learning experience and not just a nerd fest! I say this with the utmost love and respect, becasue I too, am a nerd! I love looking at all the new camera equipment. It's funny, I was at Penn camera the other day picking up another Quantum and i was talking with the guys for 11/2 hours about the new D300 and D3, I am such a geek!

Anyway, Brad is at Fall retreat this weekend so I am alone. Friday night I am off to Andy Zipf's show www.andyzipf.com and then a wedding on Saturday and shooting for Ratner on Sunday, I have yet another full weekend.

Love to you all!!

Ode to Fall!

Ok so not really an ode, but I am so glad that fall is finally here! It has been unbearable photographing in this heat all summer and so I finally get to breathe again and not look like a sweaty pig every time at my events!

Brad and I are planning to go to the PDN Photo Expo this year, anyone else going to NYC? We have been wanting to go for a few years but always seemed to have to work that weekend, no this year! Still tring to decide which seminars we would like to go to, any suggestions?

We finally got a new bed, a memory foam called "Healthy Foundations" http://www.healthyfoundations.com/
No problems as of yet, will keep you posted, but it was half the price of the temper pedics, so hopefully!

luvluv!

Sea of Faces





Project that I am working on in Canada...comments?

Wow I am bad at this!








So I have been swamped with work since we returned from the "Wedding of the Century"! Seriously, it is going to be really hard for other weddings to compare to Jeremy and Hayleys, what a wonderful time we all had!

My question is, we photograph 2-3 weddings a weekend, potentially have the opportunity to create FANTASTIC work, and for some reason, most of the time I feel like I could have done so much better. Our clients say they want something creative and unique, but when it boils down to it, they don't want to spend the money and they don't give us the time to get the shots. Now don't get me wrong, we have had some awesome weddings with great people, but I hope that our work has the opportunity to go further. That future clients will recognize how important it is and how much fun they can have if they just allow us to go nuts;) I want to create outstanding images for my clients. I want them to loose their breathe when they see the work!

So I will try to keep up with this thing, and promise I will post exerts from my "exciting life;)"
