for about a week, i've been sick with the cough of death. i swear every time we get to see my brother and his family the hubby and i catch some mutant cold germ from our niece and nephew. so two weeks ago, shane and i went to La Grange, GA for my sister-in-law's brother's wedding. Michele and Berwin asked me to be their photographer and i asked shane to be my assistant!
my husband has always been very supportive of my photography work and this was the first time having him help me with a gig. i taught him the cliff notes version of photography 101 in less than a week before the wedding. with what info he could remember in conjunction with his own artistic talent he did awesome! by the end of the night he was soooo pooped and i told him "welcome to my world babe." heheh. we took pics of each other taking pics during the wedding and didn't tell each other until we reviewed the images. heheheh. cute.
we visited the
Georgia Aquarium before we left. if we had more time we could've sat in front of viewing tank in the
Ocean Voyager for hours. it's said to be the 2nd largest viewing window in the world! it's like watching one of those fake aquarium screen savers for a computer but it's real. they had these charts you could carry around with pictures and names of all the fish. i played match the fish and every time i recognized one i called out the name like an excited lil kid. good times.
sometimes i wish i lived closer to my brother to be part of my nephew and niece growing up. the last time i saw them ryanne couldn't even walk yet. i do make it a point to capture blackmail photos of them when i can:) hehehe.
the following weekend ciesther, from
DCPG, needed a photographer to help with an operation smile charity event and i helped out. they managed their photo booth service and i got to document the evening festivities. of course we couldn't end the night without a photo booth pic!
it's always a good thing when you can network with other photographers because you never know when you need the help.
