Getting Into the Business of Shooting People (Camera Style)

Hello World!  So it's been a little while since my last posting as life has been extremely busy (and because I don't consistently have epic thoughts to share with the world).  Well, what's happened lately?  In the not too distant past, my good friends Drew & Lacey were kind enough to let me take a shot at this "engagement photo" thing.  As you may have been able to gather from my blog history, I enjoy viewing the world through a camera lens.  Well up until this point, I had not had much previous experience shooting people (with my camera...or with a gun).  You see, people are tricky.  They move, they have personality and they actually care about how the photos turn out, unlike, say the photo I took of the bridge.  That bridge could care less about how the photo turned out.  Anyhow, I had an absolute blast with this photo shoot.  The majority of the shots were taken in 30 something degree weather, but we still managed some pretty convincing smiles.  So I think I will try to make this shooting of people (again...with my camera) a re-occurring thing.  Please take a look at the photos below.  If you know anyone who may need engagement shots, wedding shots, shots of their kids/family/pets, please tell them about me and direct them to this blog.  I do not have a website set up yet or any finalized rates but am working on putting this all together...until then, I will continue winging it :)  I will still be maintaining my full time job here in Alabama (Mon-Fri), but am more than willing to travel on the weekends if needed.
