A Wedding for the Records

Posted on September 19, 2010 by Samantha

I recently had the opportunity to help a friend photograph two weddings in St. Louis. This one was the very first wedding to ever happen in the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Creve Coeur! The reception was held at a golf course where we took some fun pictures. The happy couple only had a mini-moon before the bride had to be back teaching the following week. What a selfless bride!

Sand in Your Toes

I recently celebrate my second wedding anniversary! We went to Florida for some fun in the sun and ended up on the sand in Daytona Beach. On our last day we wanted to see the sunrise. Even though it was cloudy, it was still a beautiful morning. We were surprised by a friendly heron who wanted to check the surf for some breakfast.

Gardener Wedding

I was able to shoot a wedding in south Atlanta for a great couple. They actually got married while working for the military in Iraq. Because of that, none of the family was able to attend, so they had a vow renewal in America! It was a night full of fun and love.

Thank You Ms. Samamfa

Sunflowers are my favorite summer flower! Most likely because that is what I used in my wedding. 🙂 Here are some macros of a bouquet I received from a student at work. I love the detail in the center of the blossom.

No Rainy Day Blues

Macro shots with rain or dew are the best! It’s so great to see nature interacting with itself and the beauty it creates. I feel these photos reflect life and all the fullness thereof. These were also taken in Maine – in Bar Harbor and Pittsfield.

The Maine Event

Let me just say that Maine summers are much nicer than Maine winters. This was my second visit to Maine and we went to Acadia National Park near Bar Harbor. Even thought it was windy and misty, the beach was beautiful!

Study of a Ladybug

While at the same park where “study of a flower” was shot, I came across a curious ladybug. He kept crawling towards me and my husband, so I got some shots. I was surprised at how fast they can walk!

Study of a Flower

One of my favorite kinds of photography to do is macros of botanicals. I was at the park one afternoon, reading in the shade, and I looked over and saw these two tiny flowers. I proceeded to fill my card with different angles and compositions. I love how such a tiny little blossom can really pop a picture!

An Artsy Weekend

Posted on May 2, 2010 by Samantha

This weekend was full of art, and rather inspiring. We went to an art show in the Marietta square on Saturday, followed by trips to antique stores. Sunday we went to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, for free!! If you are a Bank of America card holder, you should check out this site to see where you can go for free! http://museums.bankofamerica.com/
