Photography Info Update (…..giveaway coming Monday)

I’m enjoying getting questions…some through email, so I’ll post those answers too, along with the comment questions…..as well as many fun photography resources that I love.

AND for the occasion, I decided I’d do a GIVEAWAY of my two favorite products that I use at the moment……thanks to the amazing and generous vendors of these products.

What are they?   Hmmmmm….I’ll announce them on monday.  You definitely need Photoshop CS3 or higher  for one of them though, and any version of Photoshop for the other.

I thought I’d give you all a little notice so you can make sure and enter in time to win.  I know Monday is a holiday, but is the day I’m doing it.

Yaay!

MONDAY it is.

Happy Monday

I’m sitting here editing my brains out (hopefully you don’t get an awful visual of that statement)…..editing is one of my favorite parts of photography…part of my style…what I personally do. Combing through all of the recent photos and picking out my favorites to edit is kind of like a fun treasure hunt. heh….I’m laughing at myself.  You get what I’m saying.

So, I’m extremely busy, but loving it.

I will share photos soon….wedding photos, as well as photos caught of me taking photos…and my assistant shooter, taking photos (kind of like super spies. It’s always fun to see what we look like shooting when we’re squatting or climbing up on things…or in awkward positions getting shots.)  I was even caught on video dancing…if I can even call it that…. at the end of a wedding reception….which is not going to be seen by the public, right Erin?)…ha. fun.

Also, I’ve been asked questions via email about random photography things, and on occasion have given mini lessons. If it’s worth anything to you, I’m going to be posting some of my favorite little tid bits pertaining to photography….equipment and editing.  Nothing profound, just about what I do. So, if you have any other questions, you can post it in a comment here or via email/contact page.

Happy Monday to you all!

she did | ft. worth, tx bridal photographer

She did….and it was such a beautiful wedding….much fun as well.  I can now post the bridal shots.  Isn’t she beautiful!

(a little info:  Joanne and Nate own the T&P Tavern and Grill in the old historic Texas and Pacific Railroad district, and wanted to have the photos done in and around their place….the reception was in this building too….wedding photos to come, eventually)

(funny story:  At the wedding, Joanne’s dad came up to me laughing & said “The last time I saw you…you were flat on your belly on a railroad track and scared me!”  I was taking a shot of her bouquet on the tracks…and I remember him saying…”get her off the track!”  There were no trains coming of course. I was being careful.)

sniff sniff

OK….so, I have to admit something.  I was excited about my kids going to school….even my youngest starting kindergarten because she has been so ready for it!!  They have so much energy and have been completely wearing me out this summer.  And then it hit me last night (the tears came)…and again this morning…. Oh my goodness, I have a 3rd grader and a kindergartner! How did that happen?  They both told me it was time to leave their classrooms this morning…one verbally and one with a little subtle hand gesture as if to ‘shew’ me away.  I guess they’ll be fine without me, eh?

before school:

and, all smiles when coming out of school:

If today was the start of school for you guys too…..hope it went very well!
