At the end of last year, Sam from Everlasting Images asked me to join he and Greg from Love is Greater for a band photoshoot. I hadn’t photographed a band in awhile so I was happy to participate. Band shoots are one of my favorites. They are so much different than anything else. We began shooting at dusk and then into the dark so that we could work with off camera lighting, which happened to be my first time. It’s a bit tricky at first and probably not something I’d want to use everytime (I am fond of natural light), but it really can make for some incredible night shots. The three of us took turns shooting and holding the lights to capture the boys of In Theory.
Snow is good for one thing: cute photoshoots. (Other than that, no thank you. I’ll take the sun & green grass.) But since Brooke & Justin live out of town and won’t be back much until their wedding this summer, we met while they were home for Christmas. Brooke’s grandmother has acres of beautiful property out in the country, so it was the perfect backdrop for our shoot, and even better covered in snow.

Jodie & Stephen’s engagement session was featured on the fabulous Rock ‘n Roll Bride ! Check it out here. It’s a great site full of beautiful inspiration. Thanks Kat, for the feature.
Wishing you a (very belated) Merry Christmas & Happy New Year ! The truth is, I took a few weeks off during December to enjoy the holidays with my husband and our families. We had a wonderful month ! But now, its back to business.
A few weeks ago I did an engagement session for two of my long time friends, Jodie & Stephen, who are getting married in just a few short weeks. They wanted to do something out of the norm (which I always love to hear) so they brought some really fun vintage props, and then I came up with an unusual location for the shoot…which they loved ! For the first part of the shoot we stopped in a local alley way and then we headed out of the cold and into, well, a laundry mat. Ironically enough, Stephen used to be in a band that I did photos for years ago, and we did their shoot in a laundry mat as well. I haven’t shot in one since then, I was waiting for the perfect couple. And well, these two lovebirds just fit the idea. Their wedding is going to be a beautiful winter wonderland of sorts and in a fabulous location, so stay tuned.
ps. Remembering the Day Photography is getting a BIG makeover. More on that later…
