This was a great wedding! I had a great time with this couple and their family. And the more weddings I shoot, the more I enjoy this business. (My love of cake continues to grow as well.) What fun!

Tip of the day: Despite the smooth-sailing, I managed to contract an intense headache. My mom (my assistant) saved the day by running to Kroger for food and aspirin. She then swooped back into the church, unnoticed, armed and ready with my relief. The tip: Either carry food to weddings or bring a mom. Saturday I got the best of both worlds.


Congrats to the couple!

Here's the latest!

mlp goes fine art!

Beginning Saturday April 12, I will selling fine art prints at a local art store here in Lexington called Street Scene. Street Scene is next to Coffee Times on Reynolds Road. Stop by Coffee Times for great drinks and then go into Street Scene to check out a great collection of vintage art created by local artists.

I am so excited!

Tip of the day: Discover your passion and run with it.

Below are pictures from Carrie and Vall's engagement shoot. It was cold but they were super cool about it. :)

Tip of the day: 2.8 lens + overcast day = awesome lighting. I heart a good 2.8 lens. Invest in good lenses.

Here are a few pictures from the wedding I just did. It was so great! Kimberly is a book club fiend of mine and it was awesome to be a part of her wedding. Also, the wedding was in the chapel at my college so that was a nice stroll down memory lane.

Tip of the day: I actually tripped as I was strolling down memory lane, or as I was taking pictures at the wedding. I sort of fell on my camera...but I had a UV filter on the lens and it protected it. Thanks to filters, for their special effects and their protection.

mlp goes athletic: 50 players + me

I am a proud alumna of Dunbar High School, although I now work at one of Dunbar's rival schools. My younger brother played baseball there back in the early 00's, about the time I was graduating high school but still enjoyed watching his uniform-clad, big league-chewing teammates play.

The circle of life came back around a couple weeks ago when I got a call from a baseball mom wondering if I'd take this year's Dunbar baseball team pictures. I jumped at the chance to expand my photographic horizons.

It was a good time, a bit challenging as the seniors and I "faked" action shots for the cover of this season's program. Also, the field was decorated with some farming equipment; a steam roller, bulldozer, etc. Pre-season maintenance I presume. It really was a great time.

Tip of the Day: Know your audience. I was rusty on my baseball terms and the guys laughed at me. Technical terms like "can you catch one from above?" (fly ball) and "stand on the mat" (second base) were thrown around.
