the perfect couple… and vp news.

I have spent heaping amounts of time in telling all of you why you should book me as a wedding or portrait photographer, but I havent spent any time in telling you about my goals and hopes when it comes to choosing which clients to accomodate. I know your dream wedding or portrait photographer is fun, affordable and produces some amazing photographs that show who you really are at that very moment. I know that you want professionalism, but that you also want someone that will open up just as they expect you to do in front of the camera. A real person, not an operator or a machine. A person that will return your phone calls.. someone honest and passionate.. someone who will make you laugh and be easy to work with and make you feel comfortable.

I expect all those things from my clients, as well. My ideal clients are fun.. and in love.. and real. People that put their own special touch on their wedding and got their hands a little dirty in it’s preperations.  I love when couples arent afraid to think out of the box and be a little edgy.. a little different. My ideal clients know the importance of the photographs. They appreciate the memories we capture. The clients I love are those who love our style and don’t ask us to be any different!

This Saturday I am excited to photograph my first 2010 wedding! The season is going to start with a bang and I plan to have LOTS in store for you all.. including some blog posts that I’ve been slacking on posting!

I wanted to take a moment to introduce my new graphic designer, Stacey Peters! I have brought Stacey on board to assist me with my graphic needs, including album designs, marketing.. you name it! She’s one talented chick and so far she’s made my life so much easier by putting her talents to work! So… Stacey, meet my awesome clients and friends. Clients and friends… meet Stacey.
