So, I finally decided to dive in and join the world of blogging!!! (yes… I do realize I’m probably one of the last ones to join… J).  To be honest, I had no clue how to even start, or how this whole thing works… it literally took me a month (at least) of going back and forth trying to figure out how to do the ‘blog theme’ set up!!! LOL!!!

I decided to start a blog to not only let my clients and potential clients get to know me a little better, and to give them updates on what I’m up to, but to also create a place filled with tips and tricks that I have learned as a photographer.  My clients always ask my opinions on what will look good on camera, how they should dress… makeup, hair, accessories – and I’m always glad to help.  I am always surrounded by all sorts of scenarios and all sorts of environments – and I know that sometimes even though something looks good in person, it might not look so good on film.  I want to pass those ‘real-world’ tips – even the smallest tip can make a huge difference!  I know there are thousands of wedding planning sites that are great resources, but when I was planning my own wedding I always wanted to ask for tips from someone who was actually there… at ‘real-world’ weddings (not just the unbelievable ‘dream’ weddings that a lot of magazines and websites showcase).  I want to showcase weddings from real brides… with all sorts of budgets and all sorts of circumstances. 

In no way do I think I’m the ‘authority’ on any of my tips… but I’ll just be posting about things that I notice, hopefully it can help a bride out there decide whether to wear glitter or no glitter on her wedding day (hint… hint…. No glitter is best J).

So, since this is a photography blog… here is one of my favorite images:
