Proofs

Absolutely love this family! We had the great pleasure to get to know the mom and dad through our premarital counseling. We saw their incredible hearts and grew closer with the entire family day by day. The Lord has...and continues...to do great things through them. Thanks for being such great sports through the hot and humid Florida heat.


Timing

As I work with clients, some have many questions. One question that occurs most often - how long until I will have the photos?

As you shop around, this can be an important question as you select a photographer, especially if you are on a time crunch (ie. Christmas Cards). It would not be abnormal to take 30 days for processing a portrait session or up to 12 weeks for wedding photos. However, I've never come close to reaching that timeline. Why? I'm excited too!

You are posing and you don't see the photos pop up on the preview screen. You probably go through asking "Did I look ok? Were my eyes closed? Is my hair sticking up?" I see things in real time and the preview and then I begin saying "Oh, How cute! I hope that face came out on camera. I think they are going to LOVE that one!"

So, when I get home, I get right to it, if time allows. This isn't a full time job for me right now, and I typically spend 50-60 hours working full time teaching. I'm a little DIYer around the house too, so I'm always busy. BUT, I love seeing your photos and want to get them in your hand as soon as possible. So, with that said, I tell clients to expect take 2-3 weeks to get your portraits back, or 4-6 weeks back for weddings. However, I've never taken more than two weeks on any session. Several clients have had portraits ready the very next day. In summary, I get the photos back to you as soon as I can...truly! The better the lighting and location, the less time I spend editing. That gives you photos faster. Of course you can always ask for some special editing if you would like, but I do try to offer the best from my artistic eye and give you a variety to see some similar shots with different finishes.

So, with that being said...here are some more shots from today's (yes we took these between 8-9AM today) session. The rest (yes the fully edited photos) are being uploaded as we speak. Check back tomorrow for a full preview.







Sneak Peak

I love when photos come out of the camera like this! Most of my time at the computer is spent narrowing down the images, not editing. The better quality I can get through the camera, the less I do with the computer. As much as I am not a morning person, you cannot beat the first light. Here's one of our favorites - before we get too deep in sorting and editing. More to come in the next few days!


B is for...






One of the best families I have ever known! Mike and I lived with this family during our first year of marriage. Although it was not our first choice of how to spend our first year as newlyweds - we are INCREDIBLY thankful for this loving family! Despite sharing a bathroom with 4 kids (3 teenage GIRLS), Mike and I survived and found out what it was like to have both brothers and sisters. ( I grew up with two sisters and Mike had one brother.) We have learned a ton from them and really are so thankful for living in such an amazing community! (Wendy's cooking was enough reason to stay for 6 months!) So, here's a quick preview. BTW, if you need any maintenance around your house, office, car, etc...please give them a call.
