Jamie Martin and her sweet family

So here they are! THE Jamie Martin's belly photos. If you don't live in SA, Jamie is the very cool DJ at KJ97-FM radio station. And this shoot was SO FUN! When we were trying to pick a location, I asked her if there were any sentimental spots around town for her. She said they'd met at Duke's restaurant, but it had since closed...and turned into an ABANDONED BUILDING. Possibly damaged and ruined? I am THERE. So I KNEW from that minute the shoot was going to ROCK HARD. THEN, she and her husband Aaron turn out to be two of the most LAID BACK people you will ever meet. I'm serious. Up for anything. Going with the flow. Turbo-changing shirts behind buildings like a pro. My day was made.

The very deck that they met on. How cool is that?!

Doesn't get any better than an abandoned billboard.

We're still working on face-lifting the website, which will include a little testimonial section. So if you're a previous client and feel like making a photographer's day, I would LOVE a few paragraphs from you in an email about your (hopefully great :)) experience that you had with Relish. Jaime wrote me a really sweet one yesterday.

"When I saw my pictures for the first time I was completely blown away! These photographs were not just pictures, but they were art. They looked like they should be in a magazine or hanging up in an art gallery. Maile captured my family in a way I've never seen before. These photographs exceeded all of my expectations...I didn't think I could look this good at 34 weeks!" ~Jamie Martin KJ97

Thanks Jamie and Aaron! You guys rock! And if you (internet) want to see all of them, go to my site to the 'client' section. Their password is: Aiden (the baby's name of course).  :0) happy happy wednesday night. And no, I'm not at girls night out right now. I didn't feel like getting all dressed up again. But now I'm sitting here debating showing up in my sweats.

Okay...I have said this before, but I will say it again...you are so inspiring...seriously, have you thought of doing work for magazines and ad agencies..free lance kind of stuff...you would be in HIGH demand! But let me schedule a shoot with you first before you go getting too famous on us.

You could not have planned that coming soon bill board any better! And I think my faves are the ones with the tree and the cool flare. You always amaze me.
