Hey everyone! Long time no chat Things have been very busy on my end, I recently quit my job at Target Portrait Studio for a better studio job over in the mall. It's still the same concept, photographing families/babies and then selling collections of photos to them after, however this job is paying me by the day for Photography, and I get commission on any sales I do. It's been a crazy few weeks, but I really love it there, and everyone is very impressed with me. It's also great because I have a LOT of freedom. When I worked for Target/Lifetouch they had guidelines that needed to be followed - you were mandated to make sure you got a certain number of vertical/horizontal shots, and specific poses (full body, 3/4, extreme facial closeup, etc), and they had only a few props, which were mediocre at best.
At the new place I can shoot however I want, use their wide variety of props, shoot however the mood strikes me, and best of all-- Use my OWN camera!
I'm making a significantly larger amount of money, and where I was only working a few hours a week at Target I am working Full Time at this new place, for much more respectible pay (Still not "mindblowing" but better than the $8 an hour I was making over at the other studio).
Missed it around here

So, the real purpose I suppose for this is to actually share a few photos from a friends wedding I attended on the 3rd. She had another Photographer friend already covering her ceremony/reception, but I also offered to do it because my friend can never have enough photos-- especially on her wedding day!
99% of them are Candids, but they loved them. Hope you guys enjoy them too. And you can check out the other 20 selected shots here at My Photobucket
C&C is always welcome-- and I was shooting with an 18-105 lens with a Nikon external flash. I've never shot a wedding before- be gentle lol.

Also, their wedding song was Ben Folds- I Am The Luckiest, so I doctored this up for them.
