I did my first “official” photo shoot in January with one of my very dear friends…
AMANDA (who I very affectionately will ALWAYS call “Mote”), went to Africa with me in September, has been in Hot Totties for years, goes to my church, is so hilarious that my cheeks always hurt when in her company, and is a country girl thru and thru – bottomline, I love her! Like, literally, A.D.O.R.E. her zany approach to life!
She’s Fun. Outgoing. Thoughtful. And… GETTING MARRIED on June 13th!
The day after she got engaged, Mote called to share the wonderful news. While on the phone, I asked her if I could take some “engagement like” photos of them to help me learn more about my “style” and “quickness” in utilizing the gazillion(!) functions on my camera. She was quite enthusiastic about my request and couldn’t wait to get it on the books (which, came as a complete shock!).
After one failed attempt due to bad weather, we set out on a Sunday in 30 degree weather to capture the love of Amanda and Brian.
After one fun, yet, very C.O.L.D. afternoon – ONE thing that I know for SURE regarding my “style” and camera “quickness”:
I certainly begin the adventure of "photography on the side", with the BEST COUPLE EVER!!! Capturing their “love in a lens” was INCREDIBLY humbling to me!
Brian and Mote… I can’t thank you enough for sharing that afternoon with me! You set my heart on fire EVEN MORE(!) regarding my desire for photography (which I didn’t even know was possible!!). You helped push me out of my comfort zone and try out this idea of “photography on the side”! I had SUCH a wonderful time…
One thing is for certain: I believe in your love!
Can’t wait for the wedding! Xoxoxo, E*
