J & J Engagement Shoot

I finally have time to blog a sample of my last photo shoot. Jade and Josh were a blast to work with! I can honestly say there wasn't 5 minutes without laughter!

This was my first real engagement shoot and I'm proud of the results! Of course having two people so in love and fun to work with makes my job that much easier.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Photography; It's Work

"Whew" That's all I can say about the past few weeks! I'm tickled pink to sit down long enough and type out more than a sentence. I have been terribly busy, but I can't remember half of what I've done. lol.

My photography class was going surprisingly well, despite the entire downtown area flooding the day before the first class. Becky at The Wilder Side of Art made an announcement today...she is closing her store at the end of the month. I'm truly upset; and not for the obvious reason. I have waited years for an art store to open up in town; and now it's over. I will still have classes elsewhere; but it won't be the same.

I have quite a few new followers on my blog and my fan page, so welcome to my crazy world. ;)

I hope things continue to look up.

I braved my sanity and lack of energy last month and took my 5 year old cousin Alyssa to the park for the day. I was pleased with the photos, but had to take a nap as soon as I came home. lol.

Enjoy; and as always I welcome feedback. :)

Several of the photo effects came from The CoffeeShop Blog I had been searching for a good Polaroid action and found much more on the blog!

Until next time,

KMLF 2011

Whew what a weekend! I guess I should start the craziness where it all began, Saturday May 28, 2011.  After only sleeping for 4 hours that night, my cousin, her 6 year old daughter Alyssa, my husband and I braved the crowd and attended the Kentucky Mountain Laural Festival Parade. I was more excited than in previous years...mainly due to the fact I had a much better camera. There are about 30 photos total, and of course I'm not adding each and every one of them...instead I will add MY favorites and provide a link at the bottom to my photography fan page where you can view them all.

Long story short, we all had a good time and it took me hours to decide on the best! Enjoy!

Here is the link to all of the photos from the day.
