Here is my next batch of ShootOut pictures – a lovely bride getting ready for her big day!  She looked immaculate and I loved the vibe of her hair and dress so much, it really set the tone for these photos.

Love,

Here is the first batch of ShootOut photos that I got around to editing – the Engagement Session!  Sarah and Derek were total naturals in front of the camera(s) and made it easy to get plenty of good shots.

Love,

As usual, the SoCal ShootOut people did this right!  This was the biggest and best event yet – to celebrate the One-Year Anniversary of these awesome workshops.  I had such a blast working with all different types of models, photographers, locations, and lighting.  And I can’t say enough about how great the group leaders were!  They were so nice and so helpful and so giving of their time.  I want to be like them when I grow up!  It was very, very appreciated.  I felt like I got a lot out of the experience and can’t wait for the next one.

We did 6 rotations, including a engagement shots, the bride getting ready, details of the wedding, bridal portraits, the ceremony, and the romantic couple.  I will be posting some of my favorites through the week (as I get around to editing).  It will be hard to choose my favorites!

And now the thank-you’s.
