My Man Smokes A Pipe

And I like it.

Ladies, Ladies..

Our tiny, yet to be named collective set out on Saturday afternoon for our second fashion shoot- Nichole Lim doing hair and Sara Burgers doing makeup and styling. Our models were Sarah and Julie.. I've only had about an hour to go through all 500 pictures so here's just a few for now, more to come!!

Mark+Brandy Nicks // 08.08.08

Disclaimer: I do not shoot weddings but there are a few circumstances in which I MIGHT. This happened to be one of those- My friend Mark called me up and twisted my arm a little, and somehow he got me to agree to shooting their wedding- I don't even know how. He probably does magic on the side. But I'm so glad I did get to be a part of Mark and Brandy's wedding-- they are such a unique and sincere couple, I didn't even feel like it was work at all (which is HUGE). So who knows, maybe I'll be getting back into doing weddings, but for now, here are some of my favorites from the day!

Just Married... No Big Deal

People In Love, Part 29334985

Almost a week ago I went out around the East Nashville neighborhood to take pictures with Julia and Jesse in celebration of their engagement. Awww. We all live in East Nashville and we all think the East Nashville bumper stickers are funny. My favorite is the one that says "37206: Over The River and Through The Hood." But I am easily amused. Anyway, we took a few keepers. People in Love are usually easy to photograph... here are some examples.

When it Rains... I Soar

Figuratively and literally...

For some reason Rainy Days just whip my creativity into a busy frenzy and I start getting ideas. First of all, I've been wanting to do a self-portrait for awhile now; secondly, I've been wanting to try out this lighting situation I've had in my mind for at least two days- just using my reflector and super-sweet reflector holder with a flash in an indoor setting. This morning I was the only one home or awake so this is what I did as the rain came down...





Also, this is the first camera I ever owned. I remember the first pictures I took on this so vividly... being in fifth grade at summer camp, thinking a certain few boys were super cute... and now having an old shoe box full of 110 film pictures of boys at summer camp who I don't even remember, and maybe one or two of my camp counsellor. Ah those were the days. And now it sits on my window sill. Roots, man...




That's about it. I was thinking today that it might be fun if some of us photographers (especially RCC girls??) started a joint blog and took turns giving out a weekly assignment? And then we could all post our creative genius.. Anyone interested in that?
That's all for now. I love my church. The Anchor! If you are in Nashville come visit.

Buh-LING

Now that Amy dropped the Sanders and became a Mrs., I can show these bridal portraits to the world- taken in Little Rock, Arkansas last week.
Have a gander at that bling...



Ever since I've known Amy, which has been around 25 years, I've known her to be a lover of twizzlers and other candies, always keeping them stashed away somewhere but ready and willing to share them. Even right as we were walking out the door at 7am to shoot, she was munching on a twizzler, so I grabbed a bag and we incorporated them into these shots.

These were taken under the Broadway Bridge in North Little Rock.



This from the "ethereal goddess" series..
