Old EC Fall Festival 2010

My first festival was a success.  Besides the bump on the head from the walnut tree and my bloody big toe while running for a bathroom break it was a fun day!  My dad saved the day by putting up a tent so no one else got hit by walnuts.  My mom even got involved by talking up my services with my prospective clients!.  The sun was out in full force and the day was beautiful!  The wind took down a few of my items from time to time but we dealt with it.  I handed out a good amount of information and look forward to future sessions and future events.  It was great meeting people and I got some really nice shoots.  Thank you for all who participated and made a purchase today.  Thank you to my friends and family that came out and supported me.  I'm excited about next years Fall Festival!

I couldn't have done it without my husband's love, support, and help!
Photos form the event to post in a few days.

Friday

The Fall Festival set-up

Last night and today have been crazy with getting everything together for an event.  I still have a few more things to do since, you always forget something.  I'm really excited about tomorrow.  The weather should be perfect and I hoping for a good turn out!  This my first time doing something like this and I hope it's a success because I already want to do more.  Here's a preview of some of what you will see tomorrow.  I hope to see you there!  Remember it's rain or shine 12-5pm.

NYC Wedding

These are a few shots I took of my friends Matt and Nadean's wedding on September 18, 2010 in New York City. Since I wasn't their photographer I thought it would be rude if I took my professional camera and flash, so I used my little point and shoot camera. I would have loved to have used my big girl camera but again, it would have looked bad. These aren't the best photos but, they are still nice.
 
Their wedding was amazing and I haven't partied like that in a long time!  It was a full weekend of events.  Friday was the rehearsal party, Saturday the wedding, and Sunday they ended the festivities watching the Redskins game in one of their favorite bars.
The band that played at the wedding was a Grammy award winning country band "The Lost Trailers". This was their last performance as a group and they rocked out.
I thank Matt and Nadean again for letting me be apart of their special day! It truly was a beautiful wedding and a great weekend.
 
 

Sunflower Fields


Yesterday evening I did a mini family session in a field of sunflowers and it was beautiful! I have never seen anything like it before. Ron, Jennifer, and Chrissy were great to work with. Native to Texas they found a great location in Maryland for their session.  They were funny, easy going, and a joy to work with.

Mom picked out adorable outfits for Chrissy and she looked so cute. Unfortunately, the balloons I brought for a few of Chrissy's shots didn't last long. They slipped by us and her dad jumped for them and just missed the strings as they floated away... dang it! The worst part was I didn't even get to do the shots I wanted.  After the loss of the balloons I lost Chrissy's smile but, with Mom and Dads help we were able to get some great shots!  Lesson learned... if I bring balloons I must have back up ones to blow up.
   
 
  

I hope to work with them again in the future!
