i love it

Photographs remember the little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

-Aaron Siskind

I love taking pictures, I just love it.  Sometimes I worry its just a new hobby that will eventually tire but my gut tells me that’s not the case.  In either event, I love it right now.  I am passionate about people and causes, but I’ve never had a passion that really has shaped my life and way of thinking.  

A few days ago, I stepped into a restaurant and all I could think about is what aperture I would need to get the best photo of the couple sitting in the corner.  I felt myself looking around to see if there were any candles I could move closer to them to add light as though I was actually going to take a picture.  

I didn’t even have my camera.  Since then, I cannot stop.  I do it everywhere.  

I love it.

I leave tonight to Las Vegas to see one of my very best friends get married and I want nothing more than to take some photographs that she will love.  I get butterflies just thinking about it.  Although I don’t yet have all the equipment I need to get all the shots I want, I hope to be able to get some that will make her smile – and make her feel as beautiful as she is.  

Well, it’s time to go…I will post pics when I get back!  I will leave you with this image of a light I was obsessed with the other night.  I felt like a moth.  …couldn’t stop staring….

Pretty light…with post assistance from my lovely and talented cousin Heather

Ciao for now friends! xoxo

 

i need a good flash

…or a tripod!  But I prefer a flash.  :)  I think I may buy one for myself for my b-day this weekend.  Yeah.

When I was at Jennifer’s wedding I tried my best to get some good shots but the reception room was a little too dark to keep my camera happy.  That rocked because she had some sweet blue uplights – but it didn’t work so much for me…the girl in a dark room w/o the right equipment.  hehehee

Here are the three that I liked though….(ask and you shall receive Jenn!!), hope you likey:

Time to dance

How Sweet it is

This next one is just a big BLUR (it’s a low light thing) – BUT…it is my most favorite big BLUR of all time.  To me, it sorta looks like someone took a polaroid through the eyes of a happy drunken wedding guest.  :)  I’m strange, I know.

I love me some wedding photography.  Especially when it’s of my beautiful friends….
