november 22, 2008: Michelle & Gabriel

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting Michelle and Gabriel, who are one of the funniest, best-matched couples I have encountered! I am absolutely in love with them. They have a really easy, natural chemistry, and are very open to talking about all kinds of things, including Gabe's very interesting wedding plans. :)

november 16, 2008: Dominique


Just a few peeks at Dominique's portrait session from last Saturday. I'm really excited about these photos--I know I say that a lot, but each time I review the photos for editing after a session, I get excited about them! The sessions always look different, which brings a lot of variety to the overall feel of Blissed Out Photography--something I'm always striving for!



That's it for now--I have a paper to write about Seurat, of all people. Ah! I can't wait to graduate.

Also: hello to anyone from Portland that has dropped by! I've been doing my best to promote Blissed Out before we get there, so hopefully it's working a little. :)

PS-Dominique's session was my last "official" Huntsville-based Blissed Out session, but I do have a few more for friends that I'm going to hopefully be tackling before we jet out of the city. I just wanted to let anyone stopping by know, because the blog will continue to be updated between now and the middle of December.

november 15, 2008: Kourtney

Last Saturday I one of the most entertaining sessions with Kourtney. I always love portraiture sessions because you never know what type of personality the person you're going to be shooting will have, and I love finding out! Kourtney was fantastic, she was open and definitely excited about the shoot--so much so that she drove from Tennessee!

We visited a couple of nearby places that I haven't visited before, which was awesome as well!



Thanks, Kourtney, for the laughter-filled session! I had so much fun.

more Frances and Josh!

I just wanted to update with a few more sneak peeks for Frances and Josh, who were married on November 7 at Monte Sano Lodge in Huntsville, Alabama. This was by far one of the most beautiful weddings I have been to, as a photographer or a guest, and I'm still so pleased that I was asked to photograph it! Of course, I never could have accomplished half of the end result on my own, and I am extraordinarily grateful to Ashley, my wedding-shooting partner in crime.


I had to include this one--I think this is the largest group of people I've ever photographed in one frame! :)


I should have two or three more updates in the coming week or two. I had fantastic portraiture sessions this weekend, the first with Kourtney on Saturday, and the second with Dominique today, and I look forward to editing and publishing the photos from both!

Frances and Josh: 7 November 2008



Siiiiigh!

I'm not even sure I have words to describe the sheer beauty of the wedding I had the very fortunate experience of shooting yesterday. First of all, I want to thank my friend Ashley for teaming up with me--there is literally NO way I could have accomplished all that we did on my own! Our visions worked wonderfully together because they ran completely parallel--Ashley has all the different approaches to what I have, and together I think they images are going to produce very wonderful documentation of a truly gorgeous day for Frances and Josh.

This is just a very quick sneak peek--I'm going to really dive into editing these tonight/tomorrow, and continue for a few weeks. I'm really excited about them, I just wanted to give Frances something to look at since she's willing to be patient with me!

Also! I just realized I haven't made a very big announcement on here--I am currently 11 weeks, 6 days pregnant with our first baby! My husband and I are beyond thrilled. I definitely plan to continue Blissed Out Photography throughout the pregnancy and afterwards, as I can just carry the baby with me! But I wanted to share that with everyone.

Since I only have two Huntsville-based sessions left (both next weekend), the website is going to be somewhat shut down and have a link to the blog. I'm working on creating a brand-new design that will be clean, consistent, and clear (I love alliteration)--and will also take me a few weeks to get up and running! Everything should be in working order by the end of December.

November 2, 2008: T!

Today I had the most fantastic session with T., the daughter of Jennifer and Matt, whose engagement session I shot last month. I was thrilled when Jennifer re-booked me for this session--T. is the most adorable little girl!

These are just a sneak peek (they're the only ones I've had time to edit so far today), so I'll put up a few more in a few days after I've tackled them. I'm very excited to edit this session.



She was such a natural! She was so curious about the camera, which made it that much more interesting and fun for me.



This is part of a sari that I've had for years, I thought it might intrigue her. I was correct! :)

Lots of things are happening with Blissed Out! I'm getting ready to shut down Hunstville operations (last session is November 16) and transition everything to Portland, which is very daunting, but something I'm prepared to do. I have a new site ready to upload, but I'm waiting until the Huntsville sessions are finished and we're in Portland before putting it all on there. I'm also figuring out advertising ideas, since Portland is a much larger city and has a MUCH larger group of photographers, and also just how big I want to take Blissed Out. I don't think this will ever be my entire career, and I'll most likely stick with the format I have, but there are so many ideas to play around with that I can't help but wonder...

Thanks for stopping by! Like I said, I should have a few more photos up later in the week.
