Sorry my art site has been neglected the past few months. I am really hitting my photography hard and liking the results. Please take some time to look around on the site if you haven’t yet and feedback is always welcome.
The newest album is Trash the Dress 7-9-11
Back in wedding mode.
I shot the most emotional wedding yesterday that I have ever done – may turn out to be the most emotional of all the weddings I will ever photograph. The wedding was my cousin Laura to her now husband Josh (very sweet couple). They had Ruthie almost a year ago and she was born with pretty much half a heart, she is in the hospital now waiting on a new one.
It has been a very emotional year for them with many highs and lows and they wanted pictures with Ruthie on their wedding day. Seeing that tiny baby hooked up to all those tubes and machines is such a sobering experience. All the stupid things I see people getting upset about seem so trivial in comparison. Laura & Josh are such strong people, I have so much respect for them.
The photos I took at the hospital have got to be some of the most emotional and honest photos I have ever taken. I’m so grateful that they trusted me and wanted me there to capture that very special moment for them. I almost want to do an entire body of work around Ruthie and Laura & Josh. It’s a rough line though because I don’t want to be disrespectful or invasive. Maybe I will just go visit her more often and support them in anyway I can.
Probably need to stop writing now because I’m starting to cry again. I’ll post more of Josh & Laura later on.
I’m currently working on putting an album together for the last wedding I shot so nothing fun to post right now. I was trying to add some old photos of a trip to Iowa but the image upload on my site is not working correctly right now. But please bare with me and hopefully those will be up soon.
I’m shooting another wedding in a couple weeks. They are pretty exhausting but I do enjoy doing them. Of course, I only do 1 or 2 a year so I don’t burn myself out on them. I don’t think I would want to do it full time. There is a lot of work that goes into getting the images ready for the couple.
Maybe I’ll post some pictures from my sketchbook just to show what ideas have been playing around in my head the past couple weeks.
