Faezah and Anjum | Wedding

Here is the other wedding I was able to photograph alongside the oh-so- talented Jamie Delaine back in May. This was actually a Mendhi ceremony and when Jamie emailed me and told me, I was excited/nervous/antsy/stoked all at the same time. The decor and the amount of color involved at this ceremony was so gorgeous and it was such a unique experience to photograph. I just wanted to share some frames of some of the details as well as the guests there! You HAVE to see Jamie's portraits of Faezah. She. is. stunning. Anywho, here ya go!

Some Inspiration

This past Wednesday, I got the incredible opportunity to meet with the infamous but not in a bad way ;) Jamie Delaine. So. Get this: This girl is just nineteen. Yes. Nineteen. Is that not insane? She's blowing this wedding photography business out of the water! Already booked 18 weddings for the year of 2010. Jamie: get. outta. here.

In all honestly though, Jamie is the sweetest girl. Meeting and learning from her from the 1-on-1 Learning Sessions she offers was so comfortable and relatable. It so wasn't intimidating at all, because she's literally around the same age I am.

Talking to her made me realize that this goal of having a legitimate photography business is possible and achievable. And Jamie definitely gave me some great advice and inspiration. I am so excited to see where I'll be in the next year. I have some ideas as to what I want to do.

Oh also, she took some raddddd photos of me. Here's one here. Check out the whole post and more images on her blog here.

So once again, I'd just like to give a shout out to my lovely sister in Christ, Jamie, you're awesome. Thank you for driving 2 1/2 hours to see me, treating me to lunch, teaching me and photographing me. :) Keep rockin' it!

PS: I just did some minor changes to the face of this blog. Check it out if you'd like!

Jamie at her best? Ha, just kidding. ;)

Here's Another Business Update

I will be applying for a business license before the end of the year! I met a new photographer friend here at school through Cadre a few weeks ago. Her name is Mandie and she is one of the sweetest girls ever plus she loves Jesus! She recently started her own photograph business as well and the other day, we got together and talked some business, life, photography, school, etc. It was sweet. You can check out her stuff here: http://www.sindisiwephotography.com/

Also in a few weeks, I'm going to be getting a 1-on-1 learning session with the infamous Jamie Delaine. Hopefully, actually I know, she'll be able to give me some helpful advice as I legitimize my business. Another exciting thing is that one of my friends here at SPU, Eric, agreed to put together a logo for me. He's a Senior here and majoring in Visual Communications and his stuff is awesome.

My one major midterm was today. After I took it, I didn't do anything for the rest of the day school/business related. But in the next week, I'll try to blog the last four Senior sessions I had last weekend so keep checking back. :)
