So it's finally here - the week of my first wedding shoot! I'm very excited and very nervous, and am trying to resist the urge to buy a whole bunch more stuff to make me feel more secure :) I did order some magnifier rings to get those close up shots of the wedding bands, and I am thinking I'm going to get another memory card, but I've told my husband not to let me buy ANY more! He obviously agreed :)
I just finished putting together a slideshow for the couple last night and they are just so adorable - I don't even know them that well and it made me tear up! I also designed a wedding program for them, so I'll be getting those printed and assembled this week.
I hope to get a few sneak preview shots up here by Sunday evening, but I don't want to make any promises. I'm very excited to do this wedding, but my bigger hope is to get referrals to do some family and children shoots - those are always so much fun!

Me?? A blogger?
So I've finally decided to start a blog - something I never thought I would do. I'm more of the "write it in a diary and lock it up" type - although I'm so private with anything written down I never actually write it down in the first place - too much risk, I suppose!
But, here I am, and very excited to do this. The process of learning to be a great (or even just decent!) photographer is a long and crazy road - one that seems to go in 1,000 directions at once. It's a misunderstood road - one that I didn't comprehend when the bug bit me.
When I was pregnant with my daughter, I decided that it would be great to take a picture of her every day for her entire first year. My husband and I bought a decent point and shoot camera and off I went. Snapping, snapping, snapping, and only happy with about 1 out of every 20 shots, if that. I decided to try and learn more, and quickly got myself addicted.
Now...I've had my trusty Digital SLR for six months, I'm drooling over lenses faster than my wallet wants me to, and I'm shooting my first wedding in a week! A major woo-hoo and a oh-no at the same time :)
More to come...
