Dear July 2022,

The Month of July was a pretty eventful one for us. A Great month. We were busy and lots of twist and turns. We were able to celebrate capture events and travel! July thank you! More Please!

We started the month off with an invitation to a BBQ at our Friends Tonyia and Patrick Lowe home.

This was a great way to start the month off with a long Independence Day Holiday Weekend.

Chat n chew with friends 

We were excited to learn that our business mentor Helena Paschal was coming to town. We made time to meet up for some pizza at her favorite spot Fellini’s so we ate, laughed and have some girl talk!

On July 6 we celebrated my sons 22nd birthday he and I had dinner at our favorite spot Outback where we enjoyed a nice dinner.

As the week progressed we prepared for a road trip to my hometown to attend our 30th Anniversary High School Class Reunion 1992!

Our Wedding Capture Categories

It’s Wedding Wednesday! We’ve decided to discuss when capturing a wedding the variety of categories we have when separating our photos. Each Wedding that we are blessed to capture we provide our clients with a shot listing, this is to give a general idea of the shots that we will/can capture on your wedding day. At the end of a wedding event and when we begin the processing the images, we take and break our images down in to folders so that it will make processing those images allot easier and not so overwhelming. A full day wedding can easily have 1,000 images or more taken.

So here are a categories for capture:

  1. Venue

  2. Details and Décor

  3. The Bride & Groom

  4. The Ceremony

  5. The Wedding Party

  6. The Family

  7. The Reception

  8. Event Activity (ex: photo booth, sign in board)

Once we are able to put them in these category folders our job in processing gets easier, some folders are going to have allot more pictures then the others. Most time I will take on all the small folders and save the big one for last

#TBT 2011 Photo Session

Throwback Thursday Photo Session: The Year was 2011 and I had decided to go out and take some photos with my camera! This session was sure to a hit seeing that I was using my camera as a prop!

Also I brought along my zebra print stool that I thought would be fancy in capturing a few photos!

I tagged my older sister along and handed off the camera to her so that she can take my pictures.

FYI: My sister doesn’t have a steady hand and she does the best she can when you hand her the camera!

Oh the good ole days of 2011 “Photographer Branding Session”

Tender Moment Tuesday

One of the great things about being a special event photographer for social events is the emotions that are captured of a moment. The process we have of captured event we move around and we look for and anticipate moments. Their are some moments that are just lucky ones for us, those ones we lived to get!

One thing for sure when looking back at that particular moment in time you can see the tenderness of that moment. So to say one of the great things about being a special event photographer is the connection between the people the event and that special moment in time.

A day of Family!

Today we decided a few days ago to arrange a family picture.

I traveled to my hometown in Ohio for the weekend and we had decided that all my siblings that were able to be present for a family photo we scheduled one for Sunday evening. We had an overall busy day, but we all decided to do a combination of black and white color (to make it simple) and meet right at the park just a few feet from my mom’s house to capture a few memorable images.

Throwback Thursday- Photo Session

We came across a photo session that we had done in the wonderful year of 2015!

Yes, our lovely fellow photographer friend Eve Loves Photography captured some updated looks for us that year. This was one of the 1st time I decided to work with another photographer to allow them to capture images for me. Each time that I have the opportunity to work with a photographer I always summons one of my sons to come with me on the shoot to capture behind the scenes action.

Behind the scenes is where all the magic is happening. The blunders the conversations the silly poses and all the fun.

This particular year I found this adorable shirt ( I love this affirmation) Live your Dream I paired it up with my black blazer my skinny jeans and my nude color heels and I was ready for action.

From this point on I made it a yearly thing (especially around my birthday) to do a photo session!

We still love this phrase “Live Your Dreams”
