Last Photos

For those of you whom have not heard, I shot my last Wedding on Aug. 27th.
I am going to be working full-time now with my Husband doing all of his office managing/admin/everything Bob asks.... ;)

Being a photographer was a ton of fun in the beginning... but when you look at the amount of time it takes for one Wedding... it really is a huge job! For example, I would set aside Sundays for Engagement shoots and then would edit those for 3 hrs. Monday-Thursday I would edit a Wedding. Friday I would prep cameras, clear cards, charge batteries, print off and review paperwork and pack my camera bag for Saturday. Saturday... shoot wedding 8 hrs, no breaks.  7 straight days for one Wedding. Last summer from May-Sept (20 wks) I shot 15 Weddings and moved from Caledonia to Burlington.

This does not include Wedding Shows, meeting with Brides/Grooms to go over portfolio/paperwork. And marketing myself... Website, Blog, facebook page... ordering print material for shows and handouts to brides... you get the idea....

Not all Glamour! :D

I've always said, if I could just take the "pretty" shots I would still do it!!! A couple hours, just Bride and Groom photos on location.... LOVE THOSE!!! But alas... people want you for the whole day. ;)

So in my last post I thought I would post a few of my fav's from this year. Enjoy!

So that's it for me. See ya! I'm "tappin' out". xoxox
