Josh & Alex - Arkansas Modern Engagement Photography
1700 photos for an engagement session may be a bit much, but when I find something I really like, it sure is hard to put it down. Wednesday was a great day for me. I got to spend a couple hours with the very cool couple, Josh & Alex. Alex got excited after their engagements that she already started planning her bridals. I can't wait tell their wedding in May! Wednesday was also special for me, because my new friend Jason Crader allowed me to test out some new gear, for Josh & Alex's engagements. After a couple minutes shooting, I was sold. I was thrilled with the images that were coming out. Honestly I wanted to shoot more, I couldn't put it down. Josh and Alex didn't seem to mind either so we just kept shooting! What an awesome couple, you could definitely see the sparkle in Alex's eyes when see looks at Josh. These two are no doubt in love. Their excitement and energy was feeding mine. This is why I know that I have the best job in the world. Nothing else gets me this jazzed. Enjoy the photos!
Grandma Cain - Snowball Fight!
I'm sure you're all wondering when I'm gonna start blogging some actual clients again and stop blogging my family all the time, haha. Well, I've got some engagements coming real soon that you'll probably want to check out... I know that when Arkansas gets snow like this, it always makes me feel like a kid again, and I guess it does the same thing for my grandma. I've been wanting to blog this for a while now, like when we still had some snow on the ground, but maybe this will bring some good memories back for you guys and you'll all be wishing we had snow again, haha. Maybe next year right? So here is my grandma enjoying the winter weather!
Happy Birthday Mom!
Wow, I sure am doing a lot of personal blogs lately, I guess I've been spending a lot of time with my family lately. That's not a bad thing right? I'm actually really happy that I can spend so much time with my family, after all, they do mean a whole lot to me. Today is my Mom's Birthday. We celebrated this weekend with dinner and gifts, and while I was visiting we got a little bit of a flurry. Of course I had my camera and asked mom if she would let me take a few photos of her. At the time, I was just snapping away, quickly composing the frame, adjusting shutter speed and aperture, just doing what I do without thinking much about it. Today, now that I'm looking at these photos and posting them on my blog, I'm realizing how special these photos are to me. Honestly they're priceless. Happy Birthday Mom!
To Grandma's House We Go
So last weekend Leslie and I made the trip up to Nashville, TN to visit her Grandparents and have a birthday dinner for her older sister. Buford and Nell are will have been married for 60 years in July and have lived happily in there home for the last 37. While I was there Nell was determined to make sure that I left her home stuffed. I piled my plate full of some wonderful southern home cooking, but she still wanted to make sure that I had all that I could eat and then some, haha. Nell & Buford are wonderful host's and I'm already looking forward to our next visit! Also, I can check off #18 from my goals of 2010. I tried a southern red beet for the first time..."different."
Jaycee Alice - Newborn Portraits Arkansas
Candice really has been with me from the beginning, she's been a loyal client and friend for over the last two years. When I was first getting started in photography, Candice helped me build my portfolio by letting me photograph her bridal portraits. After Candice and Ray got married in October 2008, it wasn't long before their family began to grow. I was super excited that Candice still thought of me to do her maternity photos. That really is the biggest complement that I receive, when I take someone's photo and they are so happy they come back. I hope that I will continue to be a part of Candice, Ray, and now baby Jaycee's lives and I plan to continue to deliver photos that will make them smile. Thanks again Candice, for letting me be a part of your special moments, you certainly are a special part of my life.
Tuesdays with Eli - Fun in the Snow!
Yesterday I blogged about the engagements portraits I took of Danielle & Jordan on Saturday. I told you guys that if they didn't want to get out because of the weather, I was gonna be stupid and get out just to shoot some portraits of Leslie & I anyways. But because Danielle & Jordan were such awesome sports, they wanted to shoot their engagements and shoot some of Leslie and I too. I have to say, I really liked the idea because shooting my own portraits with a tripod and remote is not the easiest thing to do. I was a little reluctant at first though, I didn't want to make my clients work for me, haha, but Leslie didn't mind. She always wants great shots of the two of us. She thinks that we don't have enough photos together because I'm always behind the camera. So, after I did some photos of Danielle and Jordan, I showed them some of the basics on working my camera they were ready to go! After I looked at a few of their photos, I was shocked. I better watch out, because Danielle & Jordan may be the next dream team photographers to take my job. Leslie was ecstatic, she couldn't stop talking about how great the photos were. It was a lot of fun shooting in the snowy environment, but it sure was different letting my clients photograph me.So there you go, my second "Tuesday's with Eli" post and I already getting my clients to shoot for me, haha. Stick around, who knows what I'll have next week on "Tuesdays with Eli".
