I did two photo shoots for them recently
Engagements
They liked the first set I did so much they wanted more. And she was sick for the first one so she wanted some while she was feeling better.
She also figured since I was doing a book for their reception and she was making a slideshow that some extra pictures for it all would be nice.
I think it went quite well
Thanks to Allyson for assisting on this photo shoot.

Bridals
The next day we went to thanksgiving point and took pictures for her bridals.
I get to post them because I know he’s seen her in the dress… because he came along.
I’d like to thank Dawnee who assisted on this photo shoot.
Thanksgiving point has lots of spots all over the park it always makes sense to get a golf cart and be nice to the people at the desk so they can let you stay after the front desk is already closed so you can get great lighting.
We kinda went overboard this evening and took Tons of pictures… but she loves them a ton so I suppose it works.

I’ve started a neat project where I take OK pictures and spend a minute and Pimp them = Make them better.
So go ahead and send a couple in and I might choose yours and edit it and send it back…
I’ll probably also do a post. To show how cool it was.
Whatever you want… including wedding stuff if you’re married and your uncle did your pictures or something. haha (Just make sure you’re allowed to let me edit the picture)
Enjoy…
You know… like “So you think you can Dance?”
There are a lot of people wanting to Take pictures out there. Awesome!
But I’m gonna take a shot at classifying their level of interest in photography.
1. In word only -
It’s an excelent thing to want to be better at photography
In this stage someone would have to push you to actually do something
What it means to me: 40%/30% commitment… me doing most of the work
Meaning… I love your appreciation for photography and hope it goes well
If you’re really attractive it could be worth it. haha
2. If it’s convenient
This means you really want to, but there are a lot of other things just a bit more important.
Photography doesn’t have to be #1 for everyone. I suppose it’s better for business 
What it means to me: It’s kinda like a 50/50 commitment. Usually results in getting the basics down and being satisfied. One photography Lesson is typical. But they’ll cancel the lesson if something comes up.
3. Stop at Nothing.
They’ll figure out how to be a better photographer wether or not I help them.
What it means to me: It’s like a 100/100 partnership.
They are resourceful and persistent and that makes me more willing to help.
What I like about it the most… I’m not the one arranging the times.
If you really are #3 I won’t be the one setting up stuff.
I might inform when I have a job you can come watch/assist.
The point is… I understand all 3 and it’s alright to be 1 or 2
But i probably won’t be as helpful for 1 and 2… unless it’s convenient for me (Or she’s cute)
This goes for everything… there’s a lot of people out there that are willing to teach and help. But what do you bring to the table? And showing thanks doesn’t have to be material… but above all it comes in the sincerity of your desire and your appreciation.
