Landscape Photography - My first love

As much as I love photographing people - which is ALOT - my first 'dabble' in photography is landscape. It was landscapes that made me love the camera and what it could do.
Knowing what I know now, I realize that landscapes are a little more challenging - especially without people in them. It's a little harder to portray a 'feeling' or an 'emotion'.
Regardless, here are some of my recent favorites:

I cheated - there's a person in this one!

Next post, some fun 'children' pics. Kids are the greatest!!

Finch - Simkins Wedding Luncheon

As a favor to a dear friend, we took photos of her son's wedding luncheon.

I love doing wedding luncheons and receptions.
Why?


Well, because of the little kids that are there. They are so darn cute!


PLUS - the wedding couple is more relaxed and chill.


It's more about taking pictures of friendships and relationships.


So, we have 2 amazing families
and 2 amazing people!


Makes for a great celebration!!

Best wishes Scott and Josie!!

2nd Year Anniversay for the Brames!!

Happy 2nd yr Anniversay Amelia & Jon!!

One great thing about doing photography is that my daughter and her husband will come home at least once a year to get their pictures done!!

I realize I may be prejudiced, but this is one GOOD-LOOKIN' couple!!

Still in love....

So much personality!

And so much fun to work with!!

Here's to many, many more anniversaries
