Wedding Teaser: Amanda + John 6.20.09

I shot my first wedding as the primary photographer this Saturday for the super cute Amanda and her John!! They had to end up moving their location the day before, but everything turned out great! You need to check out Amanda's boots...they're amazing!

Now lets show you a few pictures...and I'll get back to getting the rest done:

Every cloud has a silver lining...

Due to unfortunate circumstances my photo shoot for today was postponed. Don't worry, we will be rescheduling and you will get to see pictures of the 2 adorable little girls *soon*!

Where is this post going you may ask? Well...Chelsie decided to visit me and I had to take advantage of the opportunity...

Yes, that's right, I decided to experiment and play with clouds!

Here are a bunch of pictures for your enjoyment:
















We also found a bus...with an interesting magnet:

Branding a Photo...

I mentioned on my last blog that I'm searching for a logo...
Or maybe I should say I'm attempting to create one that I'll be happy with.

See, the original one was just too bulky. It seemed to weigh down my pictures... I knew I would eventually have to find an alternative.

Here are the attempts:

#1 too bulky, #2 kind of silly, #3 too girly (I attempted to put it on Finding the Warren pictures and it didn't mesh)

Thus, I needed something that worked with all types of pictures, wasn't too bulky, and looked decent. This is where I discovered my ability to make #4.

The great thing about #4? I turned it into a brush & can just stamp it on pictures in any color (I like color!)

What do you think? Should I stick with #4 or should I keep searching?

Shopping & Music

I went shopping with my sisters the other day...and now I'm officially cutting myself off from buying anything else non-essential. (Don't let me forget!)

We did various things on our shopping day, like buy roller blades (I think I may try those out tomorrow), lounge in Barnes & Noble, drink Orange Julius, and listen to Finding the Warren at Hot Topic.

Here are pictures for evidence to all of the above:
