Zach & Meghan-- April 24, 2010 at the Main Post Chapel, Fort Bragg.

Short, sweet, and to the point wedding. Afterward, a whole lot of photos. Every wedding should have at least an hour dedicated to the love birds-- where you have the chance to walk around, look for spots, and capture the romance. Don't you think?

 

 

..Or picture of the morning. Phoebe and Hayley, my two nieces, are staying with us for the summer month. I wanted to go out and take pictures of them, but it's hot outside--so decided to keep it clean and cool (and lazy) in bed. I just threw some tutu's that I made for them over the past few weeks and brushed their hair:

Yes, you can believe it...and the business is slowly coming to me. I think I left last year with a good note. This blog is way overdue. December ended with Amanda and Nick's wedding at the Belmont Village. It was a very festive wedding. Amanda was probably one of the most happiest brides I've seen. Her smile is also very contagious--you'll see. For those with no facebook, here is the happy couple:

The cat that has been living outside of our door for the past two years had 4 kittens. They are so adorable! If you would like a kitten, or know anyone who would like any of these kittens, just contact me or give me a call: angelitaphoto@gmail.com or 904-401-7605. The animal shelter is too full and too busy to give attention to these poor, cute, adorable kittens. All these photos were taken today, May 19, 2010 while they were in our backyard. Get them while they're still young and cute..and help us avoid them to further multiply.

Also, feel free to copy this link and post it to your page. You'll never know if there is anyone interested in saving a life. The more its posted, the greater the chance of finding adoptive parents.

***Update..another incentive...if you adopt one I will give you a free 1 hr outdoor weekday shoot with a disc & print rights... a $200 value. Just help me catch the kittens...yes, "catch".  I'm here in Fayetteville.***

Thanks!

I was on the way from Fayetteville to Jacksonville on the Amtrak reading the Professional Photographers magazine. It talked about blogging, and says that it's okay to talk about personal and professional topics. I guess I first need to learn to blog regularly AND THEN put that into use.

Anyways, it was a long way to a special meeting I had in Orlando. Using the Amtrak is actually not that bad despite what many might believe. The train leaves at 1 am from Fayetteville, NC and goes all the way to Jacksonville, FL. My ticket costed $45 dollars per way with my AAA. Not bad at all. That's way less than what you would spend on gasoline and car costs. You also get to go to sleep on the train, recline your seat, and raise the leg rest. It's sort of like an airplane except you get more space and flexibility.

I should be on my way home soon. Home is waiting for me-boxes of photos to ship out and photos to edit. I promise, you'll get your photos soon. I also wonder what the next two weeks will be like...2 weekends, 4 weddings...here we go. Wish me luck.

The past few times I photographed at this location, it didn't feel like I was in Fayetteville. Actually, it seemed like a different continent. Year round there always seems to be something different, something beautiful growing around this property. Kudos to Kathy & Daniel! Here's a sneak peak of where I was shooting this past Sunday:

Here is a blog of random thoughts...sometimes I like using a few new spots. Afterall, Fayetteville is a really small town and a place that is sort of limited to locations. Thank goodness Ron and Amber came really classy to the shoot-- they dressed really well. It's always good to bring 2-3 outfits for a session to give variety. I can't wait to do their wedding coming up this summer. It's going to be great!
