Hello All!

This week has been a bit heavy and intense, so I figured I’d give myself a mental break and post something on the lighter side.

Here’ a cute little Indie song I really love. It’s called “Little Bit” by Lykke Li. The first time I heard it was as the backround music to a slideshow on my favorite wedding photographer’s website (Jasmine Star).  This song was fitting for that particular wedding.  The musical sounds are dreamy, the lyrics are romantic and her voice is oh so angelic. The way J* poses her bride and groom to tell the story of their wedding day along with the song makes their slideshow a bit steamy if you ask me. I wish I could find the link to the slide show to share it with you, but it was an older wedding from sometime last year and J* updates the work on her website frequently. The music video itself is quirky, off-beat, hypnotic and interesting to watch. The washed out color and soft lighting really add to the whole mood and feel of the song.  Overall GOOD STUFF!

I REALLLY want to shoot a wedding and create a slidshow I can loop to this soundtrack. *exhale*

Just this Sunday, I had the opportunity to work as an assistant for Ceci B, Long Island wedding photographer who specializes in Bridal Boudoir.   I will be shooting with Ceci this Spring as the second photographer for a wedding taking place at the historic Oheka Castle! I’m insanely excited about the opportunity.  I’m shooting a Wedding in a CASTLE!!!! Its going to be an amazing day —  I. Can. Not. Wait.

I had a great time getting to know Ceci – talking life, business and photography. It really is refreshing to be able to learn from and teach another photographer –  Share ideas over lunch, bounce inspiration off one another and basically create a support group. We both walked away that day having learned new things, eager for Spring’s arrival to be able to fully execute our visions and passions. 

This time around, I got to help with an engagement session,  maternity session and basic headshot session in Central Park.  I don’t have to tell you how cold it was on Sunday. It was quite the disappointment after having such gorgeous weather on Friday.  Mother Nature is such a tease!! The clients were troopers about it, though. I have to admit, I’m quite the sissy when it comes to working in harsh weather conditions.  I must have had 12 layers on, shivering, teeth chattering, frostbit fingers and all. I even had wind burned cheeks at the end of the day. The oh-so-brave clients however, were pulling off their coats to get the best shot possible. I was VERY impressed. 

Between lugging equipment, holding coats, and aiming reflectors, I got to take a few frames during the engagement session.  I’m excited to be able to share a favorite of the cute fun couple. Although its not their wedding I’ll be shooting this Spring, I’m very happy I got to meet them and wish these two all the best! Can you tell its 19 degrees out??
