My First Photo Shoot (well, officially anyway…)

April 11, 2011 by Elaine

Tim sent me a text a few weeks ago stating that a friend of ours wanted me to take photographs of her in her wedding gown.

I believe my text back to him said something like exactly “She’s kidding, right?”

She was not.

So….

On Saturday the beautiful bride-to-be put on her gorgeous gown and we drove to a park literally around the corner from where she lives and I proceeded to take 260 pictures of her in all her loveliness.

I was a tad nervous but I feel like it went well.  The weather was great and thankfully she’s a pretty laid-back person so we just had fun with it.

And I have to say, although I LOVE taking pics of K and the boys, it was also QUITE nice to have a “subject” that wasn’t constantly on the move or making silly faces.  (although she did do that a couple of times. he he.)

Anyway, here are just a few of my favorite shots. Hopefully you all like them too…Prepare yourself, she’s extremely stunning… 🙂

*Thanks J for letting me do this for you.  It was a lot of fun and great experience.  Can’t wait for the wedding! 🙂
