This week I attended my third shootout, which I will blog about later, but that is where these photos were taken.  Those are my rings along with another attendees’… I really like these and they tie into my topic of discussion.  Tomorrow will be my first official 2nd shooting experience!  Teale is the photographer and I will be her 2nd.  The wedding is somewhere in Blaboa Park so it should be beautiful.

Am I nervous?? No, more excited and ready to shoot!!  I feel really good about it, it is the first 2nd shooting wedding of 4 I have coming up!  Not to mention that I booked my very own wedding!!! Yes, I know I didn’t share it but it will take place in about 4 weeks!  Im super excited and am hoping that I am going to learn a lot and gain a ton of experience, I know I am.  So much has happened in such a short time, I just got my camera in January, I didn’t think I’d book a wedding 6 months later but I am not going to shy away from it, I welcome the challenge and am going to throw myself in there!  Don’t worry I have an excellent 2nd shooter lined up for myself  I’ll tell you about him later.

Also in recent news I just bought a 40D… Should be on it’s way to me now…I was going back and fourth with the 5D and since I am sooo indecisive I took the advice of a FB friend which was that it will make a great backup eventually and it is only 1/2 the cost of the 5D, which makes a lot of sense for me right now.  It does a lot that my xsi can’t quite do and I won’t feel ridiculous at my upcoming weddings shooting with the same camera as everyone attending  Feeling good, getting more interest in portrait sessions and I plan on just doing what I’m doing,  This is all fun for me!

This little dude is Diego.  Diego was a pleasure to shoot, he was very happy to pose for me and say cheese on his mommy’s command.  We decided to shoot by the pool and he was psyched about swimming, and didn’t want to get out of the pool.  We shot a few more photos of him playing and feeding himself like a big boy.  The more I shoot kids the more I want one too:) They are so loving and cute, and they say the funniest things!

These two love birds are Peter and Olivera, Teale is shooting their wedding that is approaching soon.  I was lucky to come along and 2nd shoot their engagement session at the beautiful Torrey Pines Beach.  These two were clearly in love, having a great time with eachother, cracking jokes and making us laugh.  This was the first time I had been to Torrey Pines and I fell in love with the place, it is beautiful!! I can’t wait to go back there!  To Peter and Olivera if I don’t get to see you again, I wish you a perfect wedding day and marriage!

Meet Sophia!  I posted photos of her when she was in her mommys’belly.  She is now 4 months and super cute, she didn’t stop smiling and was a complete joy to take pictures of!  Here is a picture of Ruth and her big brother Robert.  These two have always had a special bond and now they share it with Sophia.

Sophia is blessed with two great parents, here she is with her daddy…
