Ever since starting this little photo-taking endeavor, I’ve said that I’d be terrified to take wedding photos. I’d only get one shot to get it right, and if I didn’t, the moment was lost.

No, I’m not announcing anything. But, I spent a great weekend away with a group of girlfriends and took a boatload of photos. Back in April, I had a couple of photo shoots with a couple of the same people, one of which was a maternity shoot. Well, as it tends to happen, Melissa had [...]
This was the second weekend in a row with a photo shoot, and I officially have NO idea how wedding photographers do this every weekend! Kim is a coworker of mine, and I met with her and her family (M, N, & B; names hidden for privacy) today at her beautiful home. I was pleasantly [...]
