“I Do” Crew Weekend

How many of you have been in a wedding and the rehearsal dinner finally arrives and you are meeting the members of the bridal party for the first time? I bet it has happened to almost anyone who has been in a wedding or two! My sister is getting married in November and made sure that would not be happening this time around. In order for us to all meet each other, my sister and future brother-n-law, hosted an amazing “I do” crew weekend at our family shore house.

It was a weekend full of fun, laughs, singing, and even some Irish dancing (unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of it – so you will just have to trust me)! Everyone got along and I cannot imagine what November is going to be like because we’ve got the #GuldinTicket!

One thing I learned from these images; when you spend 8ish hours on a beach, no matter how much sunscreen you use – your skin will look red and it was hard to fix in post!

Family

I read a social media post about a photographer who recently had a relative pass away and how they were disheartened they didn’t have many pictures together. The reason was because the photographer felt as if they were being taken advantage of when the family asked if they would take pictures during family outings. However, once a family member was no longer with them the photographer realized how important it was to capture these moments.

My family is made up of the most loving, caring, and funny group of people I know. There is no other like it and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I will always and forever bother them with the amount of pictures I want to take because one of my favorite things about photography is capturing the little moments.

Now, without further ado I will spam with you with some images from Mother’s Day!

Miles Dean

Photoginner challenge: Newborns

Photoginner challenger: Ryann

Newborn photography is no joke, it is a moment that can only be captured once and is such a privilege to be a part of. Luckily for me, my friend Lily trusted me with the honor and it was a great experience. It was something I spent a lot of time researching (PS the Sixth Bloom, https://www.sixthbloom.com/?s=newborn, has a lot of great info!), but still proved to be one of the most difficult photography exercises I have done.

Here are some images of Miles and big brother Henry. If anyone has any tips or tricks please let me know! I would love to learn more!

Blewitt Family Winter Session

Thursday it was 60 degrees and Saturday it was 30 and flurrying! You don’t have a lot of control over the weather, but my wonderful family did not let it keep them from smiling during their winter family session.

Below are a few of the images we captured today. Thank you so much Aunt Shannon, Uncle Pat, Patrick, Colin, and Maggie!

Family Session – Hallock

My friend Laura asked me to capture her beautiful family for their Christmas card picture. I was honored and excited to do so, but I am a photoginner and taking pictures of families for important things like Christmas card pictures is not something I have done before. I am still learning the basics, I can’t handle a real gig!! On top of that, Laura and Pat wanted to share a special message on their Christmas card this year, Nora is going to be a big sister!

The photography gods were smiling down on us and we had a wonderful time prepping for the shoot, the weather could not have been more perfect, and Nora, despite not napping, was the cutest little model. I know I still have a lot to learn, but this opportunity showed me how much I really have learned this year and how much fun family photography can be! I hope I can do it again soon!
