Dan & Stephanie - Wedding

A week and a half ago, I had the joy and pleasure of second shooting for Georgette with G Aronow Photography. Not only was this my first full wedding of the year, but it was my first time second shooting ever! Georgette took the reins, and I followed along, doing my best to pay super close attention to details here and there. Here is a small selection of some of my favorite images throughout the day :)I failed to mention before, but it was raining almost the ENTIRE day, so we had to make the best of it when it came to portraits. Georgette set the guys up under the entryway to the church so that they stayed out of the rain and we could still use the available light for portraits.
I just LOVED the back of Stephanie's dress! Something about a pop of color right on the dress makes me happy :) And of course, Dan was pretty suave with his coat and tails
We snuck the duo back outside in order to capture some photos of the detailing of Stephanie's dress by herself. While Georgette was doing that, I was able to capture this next portrait. Love!
After toasts and cake cutting, we FINALLY had a break in the rain where we quickly swept the newlyweds outside and take advantage of the clear skies. The view in the background was AMAZING!
Big thanks to Georgette for allowing me to tag along to shoot with her for the day. I had a blast, and hope that the rest of both of our wedding seasons are just as fun!

Toe Shoe Tuesday - Aria

Sadly, all good things must eventually come to an end, which includes this ballerina project I did for the semester. I figured we needed to go out with a BANG, which is exactly what Aria brought to the table during the session! I have never seen a girl who can leap so high, or stretch her leg out as far as she could! While winding up our Roseville shoot, we ended up on Main Street, and found this little brick doorway. Becca and Lexi both came up with their individual images in this doorway, but then Aria pushed the envelope and stretched herself from end to end in the doorway. LOVE IT!
Thank you SO much to all the girls who have helped make this project come through to the finished project for this semester. I couldn't have done it without all of you amazing volunteers! If I ever come up with another ballerina related project, I will let you all know :)

I thoroughly enjoy getting things in the mail, and this week was no exception! I wanted to create something new that I could give to clients post session along with their orders as a fun little gift. Originally I was thinking t-shirts, but then dealing with sizes and figuring out colors... it was just too much to think about! After seeing Stephanie's buttons she made (I met her in Vegas at WPPI!) the ideas started forming in my head. Today, I had the perfect little model to help me out, and for her modeling skills, she got one of her own to take home with her and tell all her three year old friends about. I'm sure she'll be the talk of the town!

Virginia & Dave - Lovebirds

About a week and a half ago, in the midst of the crazy rain/tornado warning days, I had the pleasure of doing a couples shoot with Virgina and Dave out at the Old Sugar Mill. Since photographing Dallis there for my ballerina project, as well as having my senior portraits taken there, I was dying to shoot there again. We made it there after they interior was closed, so the entire outside was free range with no one to bring us down! And well, they were just fabulously amazing, so take a look!I just love these blue doors so much! (Same blue doors Ariana took my now profile picture in front of!) and these two just rocked it out.
Super cute building just off to the side of the little grassy area. Love love love!
After the previous image, I realized this couple was a brave one. Dave asked "Can I put her up in the window or something?" Sure, go for it? And this is just one of the MANY end results from it.
From the THREE other times I have been here, I have somehow never noticed this little area. The giant gash in the ground helps it look even more awesome! Virginia and Dave brought their best model looks with them, and look simply smashing.
I found some new areas while in the Clarksburg area to shoot besides the Sugar Mill, and I cannot wait to go back again soon! I had a blast working with these two, through the wind and everything, they did amazing :)

Toe Shoe Tuesday - Becca

You remember Becca, right? The gorgeous red head ballerina who climbed all over the underneath side of the Forresthill bridge with me to get to the graffiti? Of course you remember her! I just HAD to do some more solo shots of her when we were out with Lexi and Aria, and I'm super glad we did! She's always fun to work with, and super easy to photograph :) She makes everything look so simple! Girls like her make me LOVE my job!

"let's do 52" - wk21 & 22

So i'm making up for last week's last of post by giving you two photos today :) i totally spaced last week, and the only pictures i took aren't worth sharing... really, they're the window in my living room. not thrilling at all. anyways, here are some of the things that have gone on this week!
i've been having people ask for gift certificates, and i figured if i was being asked on multiple occasions, i might as well break down and make something generic, and still awesome at the same time. with the help of a sassy designs template, her digital papers, and a cute lorelai, i now have these as part of my products to offer. so yes! if you would like to purchase a gift certificate for yourself or someone you know, send me an email! i'm planning a super awesome summer offer with them as well, so stay tuned for that!
While you're reading this, i am already headed out to second shoot a wedding today with Georgette of G Aronow Photography. It will be my first full wedding of the season, as well as my first time as a second shooter. I spend the past few weeks working with a d300 instead of my usual d80, getting batteries charged, memory cards labeled (really, can you tell they're mine? haha) and making sure i know what to wear! I'm super excited, and i'm sure you'll hear about how it goes soon enough :)
