Jamie

I usually have a lot of fun getting out and just shooting for fun but man, was this session FUN! Jamie and I started out kinda' stumped. She knew what she wanted for the re-design of her new web presence and head shots to match and I had in mind a quaint little white chapel to start us off but when I realized the old, antique doors had been replaced with new fiber glass doors complete with mismatched windows I was sorely disappointed. BUT then we found loads of other spots that I was able to use to get the desired effect that Jamie had in mind. I love it when I can thrill a client (even if she is my sis in law and probably wouldn't say if I had totally failed ;) with their photos and it was so wonderful to hear Jamie say how amazingly perfect these photos will be for her new site. Ah! Such a great feeling! I am so thankful for my gift and for God's grace in letting me feel that wonderful feeling of blessing others through his creativity! It was a GREAT session!

Glimpse - Jamie

I am full to the brim after getting to spend a day with my awesome and talented sister in law Jamie! Here's just a glimpse of some of the fun we had today;

More to come!!

New Year New Bag

 I am in loooove! I have long carried a crumpler bag, and I loved it a whole lot but it was just so heavy and after an eight hour wedding day my back was killing me so when I saw this gorgeous leather bag I was all over it! It's the epiphane Lola, cute name :) It's so soft and there's plenty of room inside for my lenses, camera body and flash plus all those little things like cards and batteries. I've carried it around on a couple of shoots and man oh man is it a huge upgrade in the comfort category. The leather shoulder strap is just flexible enough to hold all my gear and fit snuggly onto my should without cutting into my neck. It's an awesome bag!!

The New Fourth Light!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So "they" say you're not supposed to change things. "They" say it's bad for "brand recognition" or whatever but, I like change... well at least in blog form :) Yep, I've changed it up again but this time for good, or at least a really long time. I've finally landed on something that's a fit which has been the problem from the beginning, figuring out what's a fit for my mangled mess of a creative bent. It's been tough really. Defining my style in a website. Pinpointing what I want Fourth Light to look and feel like. I think this is it! It's home spun and eclectic, classic and modern, it's a mesh of what I love and what I want you to understand about my art and my personality. I love that timeless, vintage flare. I love simplicity and intricacy. I am a science geek, hence the weird butterfly. This is Fourth Light!

2010 Fourth Light Couple's and Weddings!

So as you all can tell by how long this post is I LOOOOVE a good wedding or engagement session :) I just couldn't cut it back!
