Lady in waiting

This is my friend Brittany, I met her online via her blog a few years ago.   She isn't blogging anymore and I do miss her blog!  She used to share some of the yummiest recipes that she would make!  We took a class together a few years ago and have stayed in touch.   Funny thing is we live on opposite sides of town but never get the chance to see each other.   She is a photographer in the Clear Lake area so if you are in that area and want her info let me know.  Or simply go HERE to visit her FB page.

So, she is engaged to Calvert and is so ready to be his bride but has been waiting for the US to issue him a visa so he could move here from Jamaica so they can start their forever.  She asked me to join her at the airport on the day he was arriving so I could snap a few photos for her.  UHM, ok.......me?  The girl who isn't nearly as good as you, to snap photos for you?!  In an airport with no natural lighting? UHM, ok.  Giggle  His plane arrived at 5:07 but he didn't walk through those doors until about 9:30pm.  Yep, we waited and waited and so at some point I couldn't resist taking this snapshot of her.  She had been gazing at those doors beyond her.  So, after getting a few of her from the back I asked her to look over and I got this shot.  I love it and I love all the graininess in this too!  Thanks for asking me to take some photos on this special day Brittany!! 

Will it be a He or a She?

This past Labor Day weekend I was asked to attend a gender reveal party and snap some photos of the Mom and Dad to be finding out along with their guest what they would be having.  It was so FUN!  Who knew how exciting it would be to find out along with the parents that it would be a boy!  I had asked them if they had a preference and they both said boy first girl second and well, their wish came true on the boy first part.  I just wanted to share a collage I created of a few photos taken at the reveal.  Pictured above is Kasandra with her mom, it was her mom who made the cake and all the yummies pictured on the cake table.  She did an amazing job and I will be sure to come back and edit in her contact info for any of you in the Austin area looking for a cake or cookies for your event!

Now, I have to admit that showing up to a home that I had never visited to photograph a party was a little nerve racking!  I'm a natural light photographer (in the making) and so I was hoping that there would be light for me to capture the photos she wanted.  As I walked in all the blinds were drawn and all the lights were off and my heart started to beat quickly. LOL.  But, I pulled the blinds open and made it all work as best I could.   I'm happy for the most part on the photos I got, I will say that having the camera that I have helped me out when using the higher ISO.  I am so grateful to Kasandra for having faith in me to capture the memories made at this important event!

Thanks for stopping in and see ya back soon.  I promise to share a few more photos from the reveal!
