A Day In Front Of The Camera

It isn't often we treat ourselves to professional hair and makeup, or pick out beautiful outfits to showcase our personalities.  And as photographers, it's unusual to spend much time in front of the camera.  This past Sunday was an extra special day for me and my business, one in which I had been looking forward to for months!

Almost 7 years ago I woke up on our wedding day morning, the weather was similar to this past Sunday morning.  Rainy, overcast skies, and a sense of calm in the air.  It was beautiful.  On our wedding day, I went for a morning run to clear my head and let my mind run wild of all the fleeting thoughts I had leading up to that very day.  My childhood, everything my parents had done for me, the man I was about to see at the end of the aisle, the wonderful family I was marrying into, how I got there, the choices I made which brought me to that very special day.  For me, this past Sunday morning was no different.  I know, it sounds crazy right?  How could any day compare to your wedding day!  When I opened my eyes on Sunday morning, it immediately brought me back to the feeling I had on our wedding day, the peaceful, quiet, calming morning and sense of complete appreciation for everything leading up to that one day.  It’s interesting how something as simple as the weather can remind us of important moments in our lives, right?  Like a song you hear while driving that immediately brings you back to a time and experience in your life.          

So when I opened my eyes on Sunday morning, I was giddy with excitement to do something very significant and meaningful for the growth of my photography business.  Giddy about the importance I had put on arriving at this milestone for me in more ways than one.  Having portrait head shots taken of me for my website and photography brand at a very special place of meaning by Tiffany Farley, an incredibly talented motherhood and family portrait photographer who I admire and respect with all my heart.  

I am really excited to share more on the blog next week about this meaningful, fun, adventurous, and WET, I mean really WET, Sunday evening meeting and working with Tiffany.  She is such a sweetheart, someone I could have talked to forever under a wooden pier, oh wait...we did that!   

For now, here are a few behind the scenes pictures that Justin snapped on his phone.  I still can’t believe how Tiffany confidently managed to shoot one-handed while holding an umbrella in the other!  She brought the word talented to a whole new meaning!  

For me, it was all a dream come true. 

Hugs and thanks to the amazing team at Simply Gorgeous by Erin for my makeup!   

Till next week my dear friends.
