Ok, I’ve decided I need to be more consistent at blogging. I shudder at the thought of it, maybe bc I can’t imagine MY life to be THAT interesting in the first place but b/c of the amt of time blogging ends up taking. I usually feel like I can be more resourceful editing someone’s wedding or session. But, with practice I shall get better and more efficient… so I’m gonna keep it up until they come up with a drag and drop system *that I can afford*.. to make blogging a piece of cake.
BUT I have a ‘vision board’ that I use and it helps keep me on task. My number one on that vision board- as of today: BLOG EVERY WEDNESDAY……..my original Humpdate- plan-of- action. It somehow fell apart at the seams.. I’m picking back up and grabbing the sewing machine and we are back to being the wicked stepsisters.
Well, today’s fine post is brought to you by the poor photographer’s foundation. { trying to entertain myself.. get on with it already.. }
This is Wendi and Tom. We are getting married June 6th at Magnolia Plantation. Check out the link if you haven’t seem Magnolia already. Gorgeous. All those elements of Charleston everyone loves Charleston for.
Tom and Wendi: they are really fun – we ended up meeting for margaritas and time just flew…that’s when you know you hit it off with someone. You look up and before you know it, you are like .. ‘WOAH’.. I gotta get goin’….. I really look forward to their wedding. Here are some of their engagements.
I just love this soft blue on her..it looks like creamy, cotton candy goodness!
I’m always looking at lighting. How it affects what I’m shooting.. where it is. How I can use it or hide from it. Most of my couples when they see me aiming my camera AT the sun, they think I’m a little off. (Nah, me?)
I love this bldg. Everytime I can shoot at it, I end up spending lotsa time here getting shots b/c it looks great in color AND b/w… those stripes really add a cool element to the shots.
And, if you hadn’t noticed.. I have a thing for horizontal people. More often than not, this is how I try to get all my clients at one point in our relationship.
The sun sure went down quick that night.. you know that’s a good sign when that happens, it always feels more like hanging out w friends rather than being on a shoot and working…… somehow I usually end up lucking out with my brides being ppl I really enjoy hanging out with and getting to know.
Had to take this shot. They are getting married 6/6 so this just seemed to call to me.
That’s Tom and Wendi and we’ll be revisiting them as they are my next wedding. Look forward to the great images we get and the fun tales to tuck under our caps.
Send some prayers my way. Jim is still unable to find work.. he’s been laid off since November and hasn’t had any luck. He’s been posting resumes all over the country to no avail. He has a history in film, movies and writing screenplays.. but he was a liason with civil engineering and construction… he also has a CDL, but that is by far his last resort. He told me the other day he thought we were going to move to California…thought the prospects seemed to be better there. It scared me b/c it’s hard to start your own business from scratch and it definitely turned on my nervous factor. On the other hand, I do well with change. I think more often than not, good comes from change. You grow. You figure yourself out better… people just need a good shake up to re evaluate themselves occasionally. It wouldn’t be a ‘bad’ thing but I could certainly use some prayers and sending your guardian angels our way to see if they can work things out for him -HERE-. I’ve always been a firm believer in things happening for reasons..so if we did end up in California it wouldn’t be an awful thing – may take some getting used to but I always look for the positive in most situations. So if by chance, your guardian angel is bored b/c you’ve been so good.. have her come stop by our house and see if she can do some good here. 
Come by and see me on Facebook and Flickr. I have a www.LoftNoire.com and www.TommeHiltonGallery.com page as well on there to keep up on the latest on each of the companies.
I am going to be such a consistent HUMPDATER…… Make sure you stop by each Wednesday to see the featured blog.
