NOW HIRING!

That's right folks Courtney is running off to Italy for the summer and leaving me all alone...boohooo! But that leaves a wonderful oppurtunity for some other fine soul! I am looking to hire for the position of a paid Internship. Basically you will assist me with office details as well as second shoot portrait sessions and weddings, and I will allow you to tap into my infinte wisdom of all things photography...hahahaha!. The hours are extremely flexible and not at all demanding, however they are also not dependable. There will be some weeks that i need help everyday and some weeks where I only need you for a couple of hours.

Who should apply?????

Fun loving, easy going, photography student (preferred), flexible (hours not physically), low key (high maintenance drama queens/kings need not apply), someone who does not need to depend on the job for their sole income, ambitious, FUN FUN FUN, basic computer skills with a touch of Photoshop fimilarity

You do not have to be a photography genius or photoshop geru... I will teach you want I need you to know. I do insist that you know what a aperature and shutter speed is!

The position will be on trial basis but if things are good and we work well together this will become a permenant postition (even after Courtney returns). I have big things planned for the coming year and will need at least 2 employees to make it all happen!

Still feel free to call or email me whenever I will be slaving away at the computer in the hotel room. i look forward to being locked up for a week. Maybe i can even get caught up... I can dream! And for all you San Angeloians if you want to set up a session (senior, engagement, family you name it) give me a shout.... I love shooting all over that town! Have a blessed week!

My Friend....

Some of you know her because of her passion and zest for photography and life. Some of you know her for her bubbley personality. i know her for late night (like 4 am ) chats online while we are both trying to get our albums done and weddings edited, strung out on coffee, diet coke & rockstar. Running through Vegas in the rain on 4 hrs sleep over the span of 4 days, slamming peoples fingers in car doors and almost dying hanging out of rental cars! She is my friend... Kristin... and the voice in the back of my head! I met Kristin about 9 yrs ago when i worked at Armadillo camera! She cracked me up and sometimes drove me crazy but none the less kept me on my toes. She always was thirsty to know about the latest photographic developments. And when digital became professional she was one of the first believers to think it was a good idea...(hence the drive me crazy part). She is an amazing photographer, entrepranuer, friend and most important mother. As i stress out about how I will get everythign done I think about how she will get everything done. Soccer, basket ball, soft ball, science projects, riding lessons, engagement sessions, breakfast, supper, video store, wedding, bridal, be there for her girls for late night talks and wierd stamp scavenger hunts, on and on... and I am amazed. She is always there for WHOMEVER needs her. As a mentor she has helps tons of photographers spread their wings (including this little monarch)... she is our Yoda! I dont think any of us have taken the time to thank her.... so thank you! Thank you for nagging me until I saw that I needed to make the leap to digital. Thank you for being the photography wikipedia. Thank you for holding the bar high for the rest of us to jump over. Thank you for your prayers and support through all the moments of defeat. Thank you of giving of yourself when there is nothing else to give! And thank you for showing me that Gods strength is enough to move mountains. I love you and thank god that you have been in my life pushing me and keeping me sane! I dont know what I would have done without someone to cry and rant to who really does understand what I go through... i'm sorry i didnt say this sooner!!!! You are a beautiful friend and all the chicks that click are lucky and greatful to have you!

Amy & Steven got hitched!!!!!!

YEA! I feel super special for shooting this wedding! Not only were they a great couple to work with I consider them dear friends! I always love shooting at my home church... it just feels right! And not only do I love them bc they are friends... they rocked! They were both so HAPPY the whole time! I honestly could not keep Steven from getting in his tux...he was ready! i think he even said that it was really comfortable.... thats a first! HAHA! They were both so excited about seeing eachother that nothing else mattered... not even being in a tux and hour longer than you needed to! And Amy was the sweetest bride...even when she wasnt sure how she felt about something going on she woudl just ask in a sweet sing-songie voice something like " Are you going to fix your hair or leave it all crazy like that....?" That one was directed at me!!!! HAHAHAHAHA! i dont blame her it was diffenatly something!

I love you guys and Daniel and I both feel so honored to have been there with you for all the FUN! God bless you and make you always look at eachother the way you do now!

To see the teaser photos (as well as Amy's bridal & their engagement) go here! The rest of the photos will be posted in a few weeks. If you want to be notified when the photos post register at their gallery and you will be sent an automated email!
