In truth, no one really got married–considering my sister is way too young to even consider it! But, either way, we got some amazing photos while traipsing through my neighbor’s yard! One of my tips to budding photographers–like myself–is to never be afraid to ask to use a location. The worst thing they could do is say no! Or you could end up with a great location to use for future shoots (:

Back to talking about the shoot–around Halloween my sister, Morgan, my mom and I made a late night trip to Goodwill when we heard about two wedding dresses that were for sale there. I was completely stoked to find them in great condition with HUGE trains and lovely lace. But best of all, one fit me AND one fit my sister. So we decided to borrow our neighbor’s yard and take some shots.

All was going well until we decided to do some “runaway bride” themed shots. I told her to run up this slope and instead she kind of hopped in slow motion sending us both into a fit of laughter. Thinking she was going to do the same thing, I told her to run back down. Instead of slow-mo’ing it, she came running down at full speed! Her high heels got stuck in the rocks causing her to face plant at the bottom, which all in all was hilarious except she twisted her ankle.

It was a memorable experience and I hope you enjoy the shots! I should have the “runaway bride” exposures up once I figure out how I want to edit them….which may take a while….

his is week three of being sick! Whoo! Can’t you hear my enthusiasm? If you could hear me that is…Okay well first it was my head then my nose and now my throat and then back to my nose. The antibiotics aren’t strong enough and I’m not a happy camper.

On the bright side, I did get to spend some quality time with my camera, Theodore II. I experimented with one of my studio lights and got to dress up like an old movie star. With red lips and black eyeliner, I felt pretty classy. Except that I kept smearing the lipstick whenever I tried to blow my nose…..They turned out better than I expected so that has to count for something (: The quality on these is kind of icky because I had to compress them otherwise it would take hours to upload.

I will start adding more photos on a regular in the near future once band starts winding down. I’m hoping to get better so I can go take some photos for the ideas I’ve been having recently. Like…..I am now the happy owner of two HUGE wedding dresses! goodwill is an amazing place to scavenge. Have a great week everyone and keep checking up here, my Christmas session pricing should be up soon along with a new logo for Drew Anne Photography. I’m so excited to see what it’s going to look like I can barely contain it! But, we’ll all just have to wait and see (:
