July over already?

July came in went for sure! 
My month was very busy. I started it off with one of my amazing brides, Suzanne, her bridal portraits. She did such an amazing job, she worked that camera and we found some very unique locations that I had never been to before. I love new locations. These portraits were so cool for me because everything just popped, the colors, here eyes, her dress, everything was just perfect.

Also this month of course I did the promo video shoot.
I am in the process of redoing my website & revamping my business. One of the first things was this video.
It was a great weekend, so many of my amazing past brides & grooms were able to make time to come & I found the amazing Chris Clark to do the video, which he did more than I could even ask for, I am so excited to see the final result.

Another project I am starting is, a new blog. I want my new blog to be more current and have recent pictures of my family and friends & so the latest project will be to do just that, have all my family and friends do some photo-shoots with me. I started with processes when my friend Dacia came up to visit me one day, so one photo-shoot down, and many more to come, get ready :)

Another amazing photo-shoot I did this month was my friend April & her little girl Taylor. April & I went to high school together and she was one of my models back in the day in high school, she also got me started in the wedding photography.
I love photographing them because they are just two amazing girls and fun to work with, also seeing my friends and clients kids grown up and get to take pictures of them through the years is also one of my favorite things to do.

As I talked about earlier with Suzannes Bridal Portraits, I also photographed Ty & Suzannes Wedding this month as well. They are two of my favorite people, I love working with them. This may sound odd but sometimes my post favorite people to photograph are people that don't necessary always love having the picture taken or always have a camera in their pocket because making it fun for them is exciting because I get to take the day even more special for them by making something they don't necessarily normally love to do.
I started off the day in Blanchard, OK. The groom, groomsmen and a few of the guys in the family all golfed in the morning until about noon. I followed around in a golf cart and just took pictures of them enjoying the morning. 
I then headed to Guthrie where the ladies were getting ready. It was a little warm because the air-conditioners went out at the location but it still was a perfect day. I love working with their families and friends. I appreciate them always spreading my name and coming back to me. They are a pleasure to work with. Congrats Ty & Suzanne, you are a fantastic couple!

July always brings around my birthday, July 21st. I love birthdays. I do love my birthday but I love celebrating anyone birthday sending birthday cards. I also LOVE receiving birthday cards, it is the only month other than Christmas that you really get something in the mail besides bills. I had so many friends and family call me and my mom took me to lunch. MA, Mike, & Sean all took me out to eat at Chili's. It was a great 24th birthday.

I spent the end of the month in Missouri, my dad had a co-op meeting and asked if I wanted to go. It was a Tantara Resort. It was a nice time to just get away and relax. I love traveling to begin with but I also just enjoyed getting away and not working and having some time to think about all the projects that are on my list of things to do. I also ate a lot food while I was there, love me some food!

Another photo-shoot I was able to this month is Kyle & Erin, I went to the area I grew up and Erin had mapped out some cool locations close to where she lived & we also explored some other locations as well. It was for sure one hot day but we had a great time!
