Jennifer and Steven: Engagement Shoot on the Levee

/

I have an urge to say "engagement shoot on the levee" with an Australian accent.  I think it's because I am watching Lost and it's an episode about Claire.  :) Saturday my mom and I drove up to Newport to meet Jennifer and Steven.  I was going to go alone but Mom volunteered to be my driving buddy for the day.  Boy, I am glad she came!  Mom ended up serving as wardrobe master, flash grip, and detail observationist.  I think I just made that word up.  Anyway, thanks Mom!  And here it was Mother's Day yesterday and she helped me!  The shoot went very well!  I have had the opportunity to shoot engagement shoots at a variety of locations this season and I am loving the creative challenges!  Thanks, Jennifer and Steven, for the great time and for letting me "practice" a few shots on you!  I am excited for your Ohio wedding in August!

Kristin and Jacob are engaged!

Here is part two of tonight's posts.  Kristin, Jacob and I had a great time at Keeneland...until a bird pooped on my head!  It was toward the end of the shoot and it was funny...and gross.  Hadn't happened before, hope it doesn't happen again.  I was just walking and talking with Kristin and then I felt a little something hit my head.  I looked up and saw the shadow of a bird fly overhead.   And I knew I'd been targeted and hit.  Alas.  Jacob was kind enough to get it out a bit.  Thanks, Jacob.  No thanks to you, Bird. Enjoy!

Kristen and Jeff: Are Married

I emailed my web host, aka WEBMASTER (I aspire to be  a webmaster someday just for the title) and the company fixed the picture uploading  problem within an hour!  Thanks Hostdime! So back to Kristen and Jeff's wedding.  Kristen and I went to high school together and we reconnected on Facebook where she found out I'm a photographer.  It was been great to catch up with her and so much fun being a part of her wedding.  She and Jeff are so wonderful together!  Here's to their long, happy life as husband and wife!  And  here are a few more wedding photos.  Scroll on down for the getting ready pics.

Have a great Saturday!  Happy Derby Day! Go Praddy O’Prado!

Oh no!

Hi everyone!  Well, I got the rest of Kristen and Jeff's pictures all nice and pretty and ready to post and my blog won't upload the pictures!   I am trying to figure out what's wrong, thus causing a delay.  Stay tuned, aka check back later this weekend! Have a great night!  Watching the derby tomorrow?  I'm pulling for Praddy O'Prado.  He looks gentle in his picture on derby.com, but I think he's going to put up a real fight!

PS - I guessed right last year!  Yay Mine That Bird!
