Lost LOVE

I was lucky to learn about Faith and Angelo's romantic love story.  They were high school sweethearts who's lives had to go down different roads than planned.  Many years later and with the power of facebook they were able to reignite their love for one another!  I had the pleasure of photographing Faith and Angelo on a very snowy Saturday.  After back to back snow storms and freezing rain, it was quite an adventure wondering the streets of historic Ellicott City and trying not to slip on the many ice patches.  We managed and were able to capture some truly charming photos.  Here are just a few of them.  

 This shot was taken outside of the studio on my new bench!

      

Second photographer!

This afternoon after several hours of editing photos, I realized I needed to take a break.  My husband and I pulled out my collection of old cameras and shot some photos.  They were all shot right outside of my studio at the old hen house on our property.  Besides it being utterly freezing outside it was fun!  I believe I only showed how cold I was in one of them when the wind blew the snow around.  I also had to put my jacket on for a few of them.  We were only out their for maybe 15 minutes but, when we came in my hands were on fire!  You can't get that kind of wake up call with any kind of caffeine drink!  

I can now update my profile pictures with these great shots.  Since I've been with my husband (almost 5 years now) I've been teaching him how to take pictures (my way).  This was a man who when asked to take a picture you would mostly get the ceiling... lol  As you can see he's gotten quiet good.  I know it's a lot of photos of myself but, I'm really proud of his work.

After planning out the shoot together, and my editing I'm really happy with how they turned out.  I wanted to use different techniques on each photo.  Since they're photos of me, I have a little more freedom and can play around more than usual.  My husband and I have always worked well together and that's why soon I will be adding him as a second photographer with my wedding packages. 

Please let us know what you think of them!

Midnight Madness 12/03/10

So, I'm off by a few days... just switch the "3" and the "0" and it's all good... ha ha ha  This is what happens when you move in December!  On the third my husband and I took a stroll down to Historic Ellicott City after I finished a family photo session at the new home studio... which happens to be just up the road from Main Street.  It was a cold night, but we grab a hot latte and started our journey.  We both got some great shots.  My husband is becoming quite the photographer himself!  We really tried to capture the holiday sprite of the shop's window displays.  The sidewalks were busy and everyone was in the holiday sprite.   Enjoy, and if you've never been try making it down next year!
