I keep coming back to this picture.  I think it reminds me of the girl with the pearl earing for some reason. 

I learned so much from this session and the wedding we shot this weekend.  So for my benefit I’ll jot some things down.  First of all always having my son baby-sat during a shoot is crucial for me.  I can give my undivided attention and that is exactly what I need to give.  Second, going to wedding rehearsals before the wedding helped us out.  We were able to orchestrate our dance, or plan of action.  We knew where to be and which light stand we were in charge of.  Third, our bride gave us a detailed program of events that was awesome to refer to.  Even though we were about 30 minutes later than the timeline read, it was great to know the sequence of events.  Especially when there were events I’ve never seen before.  Like a reverse garter toss.  You’ll have to check back for pictures to know just what I’m talking about.

Oh and my backyard works great even in the middle of the day.  I have so much shade back there.  So bring on the sun!
