a break and a bridal show.

so the past couple of weeks i have taken a little break from blogging. i’ve been kind of stuck in a rut lately and i would love to blame it on the fact that i am quite frankly, done with winter and ready for a new season. ;) (summer please come soon!) i could also blame it on the fact that we don’t really have internet at our house, just sometimes i am lucky and the little wireless icon pops up and wallah! we have internet. so when we do have it, i am usually emailing or uploading galleries.

but it has been nice…it has been refreshing to step away for a while. lately, i have been learning, reading, listening to audrey assad’s new album over and over. (love it!)  not to mention, last week i was busy getting ready for a bridal show which was wonderful! i know that some photographers have their own opinions about bridal shows and the cliche’ that they may have. as well as if they work, if they don’t , etc. all i can say is that it was wonderful being able to set up a booth that was me- my brand, my style and meet some lovely brides-to-be. i was able to connect with other vendors which is sometimes hard to do when you are a shy person like myself. i handed out promo cards, my mac was running a slideshow, and i also had a sample album as well as other visuals on display. so did i enjoy it? personally, yes! it was a lot of hard work and quite the investment but it was so worth it. my dad and jay came with me as well for part of the time.

 

hope you have a wonderful weekend! be blessed.

stunning pictures, I’ve recently been to a bridal show as my brother is getting married and I’m going to be bridesmaid. Have to say you are a far better photographer than anyone else I saw there – wish you were based in England!
