Meet Natalie and Brian!!

Doug's Fashion Shoot

Yesterday I helped my sweetie, Doug (www.artisanstylephoto.com), with a fashion shoot for one of the upcoming editions of a local wedding magazine.  I won't reveal which one just yet, you'll have to check back once it's released.  Anyway, it was a lot of fun even though it was a long day (9-6), but we learned some stuff and had a great time working with everyone that was involved.  Of course I had to take a few pictures throughout the day -- below are some of Doug working with the art designer, and also some of the weird positions he contorted himself into.  :)  I love the first one because of the people watching him in the background -- they look thrilled.  

Well -- check back later -- not sure yet when it goes to print, but I'll reveal everything once it hits the stands.  And you'll be able to see shots on Doug's blog which is set to go live very soon.  He did an awesome job yesterday, the pictures are fantastic!  Great job babe!! :)

One Last Image for Today....

I still haven't put my finger on it just yet, but I love this image!! I'm not sure if it's because I took a different angle on the shot, or how great the sky is, or just the body language of Revee and Philip -- whatever it is -- I really enjoy this image. Just wanted to share it with you. Maybe because it's so peaceful? See...I'm still trying to figure it out. :P

Something Different...

I've been playing around with textures lately, and just wanted to experiment with a few of the images from the recent engagement shoots.  The first one reminds me of a romantic "Starry Night."  Anybody else think so?  I really love the selection of images below.  I'm so lucky to be blessed with such wonderful couples.  You guys have it all -- cute, sweet, romantic, sexy, fun... the list goes on.  I had a great time getting to know each of you!  Thanks! :)  I'm always looking for feedback, so please feel free to leave a comment about whether you like the textured effects.    

So this is just something a little extra for you --- this is actually me and my sweetie. ;) A good friend of ours, Tyler (lightinghisworld.com), took this for us last year when we were visiting in Kentucky.  This was one of the first images I played with for the textures.  I just thought of this one because I finally ordered a copy of it for myself recently.  

Meet Revee and Philip!!

The special part about their pictures is that Philip proposed to her in Jackson Square. Aww! :)

Meet Tara and Michael!!

Meet Kari and Scott!!

Here's the video of their engagement session. Kari and Scott met at Lucy's --so we had to do a few photos there. The pics at the bar were right where they met!
