You’ll see her soon, Nick…but not right now!

….Now that we have deterred our groom, we can move on to the fun part!

It is hard to believe its almost here, but yes, ’tis true, my dear assistant and best friend, April, is getting married in just 10 days.  Amazing and exciting- I have so much to do to help her get ready that my head is spinning.  But we did find time this past weekend to enjoy a bridal session downtown- our goal was to showcase her vintage styled dress almost as a period piece, and so every location was chosen with care.  God smiled down a perfect sunset which gave us the rich golden light I LOVE for my shoots.  Now the only challenge left is to pick the canvas….not an easy task…..and since Miss A knows all the tricks of the trade, her photoshop requests are so long and extensive it is almost comical…but for her sake I just reply- “as you wish”!  Lol.  Should have seen that coming…her keen eye and careful attention to detail is what made her my assistant, but I still laugh as she was the first client to ever ask, “can you volumize my hair in this one shot”? Lol.  Of course…and I can give you green spots on your nose too.  Just kidding she knows I love her and so I am allowed to tease!!!  But look on in oohs and aaahs….enjoy the bridal portraits.  ….Especially since I am making no guarantees as to the wedding day shots….I will probably be a blubbering mess and have no idea how “shooting blind” will work out:) LOL. 

10 days and counting……

A final note to my other lovely brides….pleeeeez don’t wait until the week before your wedding to do your portraits!!  Obviously it can be done….but it creates serious gray hairs for everyone involved trying to make sure the canvas arrives on time:)  …..Somehow as my assitant she thinks she can get away with murder:)  ….Maybe I was too bossy and its payback??? LOL.

Love you, A!!
