Back to your regularly scheduled programming.
Thursday, August 14, 2008 at 09:56AM Winner winner chicken dinner! Finally, right? Sorry about being a game show host that goes to commercial break for a week. BUT I DO HAVE A WINNER for the adorable necklace...drum drum drum...
The Fabulous RACHEL BROOKE! It was so fun picking her name out of the basket, because I feel like I know her...you know, in that strange semi-stalker internet-ish way. She's a fabulous photographer, and I think if she was closer, we'd be friends. Real live ones with actual words coming out of our not-keyboard mouths. Congratulations Rachel! Email me your address, along with what you'd like printed on your pendant, and I'll put in the order. WOO! And if you didn't win, but still want one, you can call Nursery Couture at (210) 494-2627. I don't know why, but my links here and at Shutter Sisters aren't working, ever since they changed the interface. If anyone has any ideas about fixing it, let me know.
Next, I got a few emails about what I'm going to be doing in New York, and whether or not I'd be photographing a celebrity. Y'all are too nice. Yes, Sarah Jessica and I go way back...haha! I'm just tagging along with DD and Katy, who are going for market. I traded a photo session for the trip, and am super excited because I've never been there. I want to do every touristy thing possible! *Also, I don't really do trades anymore, but I will make an exception for a trip pretty much anywhere...for all you out there in the travel industry...hint, hint! :0)
Also, I have to wish my other "virtual" internet friend Kal, a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS today! Happy baby number 2 is on the way. Yay for getting diapers out of the way all at once! I hope that next year, we get to actually meet in person and have a non-keyboard related conversation as well! WOOT!
Okay, so in the spirit of being behind on everything, I'm going to post Ashley's wedding that was shot way back in June. It was the first one I ever did. Well, unless you count the one in California (maybe12+ years ago). My partner and I had just opened the business, and thought there was nothing we couldn't do. Um...that's a good thing, until you go into a flourescent cafeteria reception, and use your camera flash for the whole wedding. No, not off camera flash...I'm talking the flash that pops up on your film-loaded canon rebel. But I think we maybe charged them a hundred bucks, which didn't even cover developing. So I guess you get what you pay for.
Anyway, here's my latest shot at it. And I have to say, my hat goes off to all of you wedding photographers out there. This wedding was relatively easy, because it was for family. But, you all work really hard. And I don't care what you get paid, it's not enough.
I've always wanted to do this shot.
And this one too. Ahh, got that out of my system. :0)
Score!
This is Jason's Meemaw and Peepaw in the middle, with his mom (second from left), Maretta, plus her awesome sisters: Wanda, Lisa, and Judy. I wish you could meet them in person because they are all real life Steel Magnolias. xo
Of course while I was there, we had to do a mini shoot with Mr. Cutie Pattotie.
K, that's it for now. I might post tomorrow, but will be leaving Saturday until Wednesday. So prepare for some totally cheesy NYC shots of me wearing statue of Libery hats, and riding the subway with the enthusiasm of a kid on a roller coaster. I'm not bringing any blogging ability with me, BUT when I come back, my priority is to make this daily relish thing a little (lot) more daily than it has been of late.
Adios!
